have you been watching celeb BB ?
I saw the countdown bit yesterday ............. think I know 4 of them and little of the 2 Americans of those 4. |

By:
Yup, busy with all things reality.
I know some of you look down on it but it's the easiest betting medium to make money imo, and I couldn't stick these carp programmes without the betting anyway. |

By:
I'm guilty of watching carp as much as the next man t2 ........... think it's an age thing with some shows.
When I watched BB1 I was convinced Chris would win and had long conversations with nieces about it :D ................ don't remember making much money out of it though. Since then I haven't liked the oddball characters ( wasn't there a bloke who looked like a girl one year ? ) ........ and the fact that they are playing to the cameras and are much more aware of what they need to do to win ......... Secondly I don't like Davina .............. What I liked originally was the 'reality' which I think there is now very little of. SB could be a relative :p |

12 nutters whopander to the cameras locked up for 3 months and not one proper fight. Not much reality there I fear. ====================================== Where's the Oscars betting ? |

Osborne stable has had just 2 winners since July. His horse here, Prince Yarraman, had his racecoruse debut at 50/1 and was 5th of 10 over 7f here. Next 3 runs it was well supported at 5/2, 7/2 and 9/4 fav. despite the stables bad record. This beast must have something going for him to be that sort of price 3 races running. Been backed from7 to 4.7 and down to 1.4 in the place market. SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING !!! I'm BACKING :) |

Travelled well but the whip was out 2 furlongs out. :(
One to watch if and when the stable starts firing. |

their gambles are not v successful Big C.
local betting shop manager's daughter used to work in his stable ............ we used to hear when they were off ........... in the days of S.Kelly going to ride for him. The daughter had a few rides ( around 2000 ) but went to work in the USA. |

Something must be wrong in the yard to get only two winners in 6 months.

EJEED looks sure to go well in the opener (4.15). He has been up against it in his last three outings, running as well as could have been expected in Listed race three outings ago, then chasing home three well treated horses two outings ago (all three won next time), before again running creditably against more lightly-raced or higher-rated three-year-olds in maiden company. The fly in the ointment here could be Kings Miracle, who travelled well for a long way despite pulling hard in that same maiden and makes his handicap debut here for respected connections, and a market move would be worth noting, but either way Ejeed should go close in a weak race. TOTALLY FOCUSSED has very much caught the eye on his two starts since returning from a long break, and with his draw in stall one not necessarily the end of the world, he can confirm that promise in the 1m handicap at Kempton tonight (7.15). He shaped really well on his return over 7f when third to one of this winters most progressive horses in Tiddliwinks (twice a winner since, including off a 13lb higher mark last time), then was repeatedly stopped in his run when travelling strongly over 1m. His wins-to-runs ratio is poor, but thats probably more due to bad luck than anything, and he gives the impression hes as good as ever, and well treated, right now. His draw in stall one is less of a problem over 1m than shorter, and the last ten horses to run in handicaps from stall one over 1m have produced two wins and three places (two of which were beaten half a length or less) |

TIMEFORM - A BRIEF REVIEW ON AW TRACKS
With all-weather racing taking centre stage for once, there's no better time to examine what it's all about, from courses to horses and riders. Therefore, here is Timeform's brief guide to the all-weather, designed to break a few myths and point you in the right direction. It's all too easy to make generalisations about all-weather racing, but each of the four tracks are different, having their own nuances, and the old adage 'horses for courses' applies, more so than on turf. Let's start with the obvious: the surface. Three of the four are polytrack, which favours speed over stamina, but the fibresand at Southwell is deep and testing, something of a specialist surface, and course form there counts for double. As a rule it pays to race prominently as the taxing nature of fibresand, coupled with the kickback, means it can be difficult to come from off the pace. Lingfield, on the other hand, is the sharpest of the all-weather tracks, and even in 5f races they have two bends to negotiate, but it's not the front-runners haven one might expect, and patiently-ridden horses can and often do have the greater momentum going into the home straight. Though less severe than Lingfield, Wolverhampton is itself a tight track, ideal for speedy, handy types as opposed to those who take time to find full stride, and a low draw is also an advantage, particularly in sprints. Kempton gives more of a chance to the strong-gallopers, as the turns are easier and the straights longer, and the complexion of races there often change in the last furlong. Unlike the other all-weather courses, Kempton is right handed, and the higher the draw the better. Of all the artificial tracks, Lingfield is probably the biggest test for a rider, and none do it better than Jim Crowley. The bulk of his success this winter has come at Kempton, but Crowley excels round Lingfield, where his awareness and judgement of when and where to act have won him several races on relative outsiders. Up-and-coming Stephen Craine, who incidentally followed Crowley by switching codes from jumps to Flat, is another who has caught the eye with his management of Lingfield, but George Baker, or the 'Head Waiter' as he's known due to his last-gasp delivery, is still the track expert, as he's proved time and again this all-weather season. Craine and Baker are similar in style - a style which might be described as 'ballsy' - and that's tailor-made for Lingfield, whereas Southwell calls for something different, rewarding strength and persistence, suiting the all-action approach of Chris Catlin and Neil Callan and the like, though Callan is class whatever the course. Bar Joe Fanning, there are few better judges of pace than Callan, and therefore it's no surprise that both do well at Kempton where the galloping track means there's more variation on the way races are run, compared to say Wolverhampton and Southwell where it's generally frenetic from the off with a clamour to get a favourable pitch. So what makes an all-weather horse? The truth is, there's no predicting which ones will or won't take to the surface, and very few are significantly better or worse than they are on turf anyway, at least on polytrack. As already outlined, Southwell is something of a black sheep of the all-weather family in that fibresand is so different to polytrack, and its individuality creates some angles that the prepared punter can hone in on. It's all about the surface and the clues as to which horses will take to it. Look out for those who've shown their form under testing conditions on turf, as they are a shoo-in when it comes to the sapping fibresand, and, linked in, because of the strain, the bigger and stronger the horse the better. Then there are trainers to follow, namely David Barron and Hugh Morrison, whose profitable results prove the benefit of having a fibresand-style gallop at home. A pedigree can also provide a pointer, and, along with most American-breds, keep an eye out for the progeny of Captain Rio and Invincible Spirit, two sires with a notable fibresand record. Sweeping and fair in character, Kempton doesn't favour one type of horse over another, but Wolverhampton and Lingfield are the playing ground of the speed merchants, those active sorts with gears, and whatever is last off the bridle usually wins out. Put it this way: you shouldn't be half as worried about a horse stepping up in trip at Lingfield as you would at almost any other course (all-weather or turf) in the country. :) |

2 non-runners make this a 6 horse affair. Grudge will no doubt bid to make all and on this track he may get away with it. But BF pay 3 places, and I fancy Guto, who has bags of experience here and is on a handy nark, for the frame at around 3.1 ;) |
