Richard Hills just gave the sort of ride on Mabaany that gets him criticised.

in the King George VI on Saturday I got the winner by a process of elimination
1. Debussy - pacemaker and not good enough by around 16 or more pounds 2. Rewilding[RIP] - had been given a hard time by Dettori when it beat So You Think ..... Dettori hit it 23 times and r'cd a 9 day ban 3. St Nicholas Abbey - inferior jockey ( son of A O'Brien ) 4. Workforce - not likely to get the pace or going ( drying ground ) as not many runners 5. winner |

Have a look at the strange tote returns on the first race at Perth
The winner was 10/11 and paid £1-02p for a place (1/50) The second was 9/4, and paid £1-90p for a place - 10/11 I wonder what would it have paid if the favourite was out of the frame ? [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] |

Evening
Horse for Wednesday Newcastle 3.50 Horse has four wins to its name, all four with a claimer on board, all three turf wins when rated in the 50's, won last time out over C & D Dropped to a winning mark, better on top of the ground, & ground looks ideal, last two wins with cheekpieces which are back on tomorrow. Northern Flyer CD - Shane B Kelly (5) rated 56 looks a 6/1 shot in my book so the 12/1 looks massive I have hardly had a bet the last few months but have had a go on this one. Be lucky |
|
By:
I'm not backing your horse, you'll thank me later...
Only had 3 bets today - a placepot at each meeting out in the first at Ponterfract out in the first at Newcastle out in the second at Brighton where I had 3 out of the 4 runners - the other one won it |

By:
Only just looked in.
N1 pumphol. I'd already had positive messages for the 1st and 2nd in the race, but didn't play on it! |

Hi Thomas
Watched the replay as I could not see it live To be honest it did well to finish third as it never looked like winning. Hope your ok All the best. |

I had another placepot tonight at Kempton.
I only have one horse in the 6th race so I can lay it if I get that far. I worked out the 8-30 race tote figures wrong in a rush to get downstairs and see Sherlock Holmes. Got the placepot up and lost £11 [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] |
