Good evening
I've decided to have a small each wayer on one in the 3.15. Equity Risk was available at 10/1 earlier but 9/1 is still there. Should run a good race I think.  |

Well that was a hugely disappointing run today, but what can you do? Just have to get on with the next ones I suppose. York 2.55 Clon Brulee 9/1 Newm 3.15 Bertiewhittle 10/1 Been a while since I've had a decent double, tomorrow would be nice! Both of these look to have good chances, we shall see. |

Well, for what it's worth, here are my selections for tomorrow afternoon. I know I'm currently on the worst run I've had for some time. There's as big a contrast with my bets as there was with the weather this time last year!
Anyway, I still think I've got a couple of good ones for tomorrow, and a few others I'm not quite so sure about atm. But the two I'm definately backing are Newm 1.50 Sam Sharp 5/1 ish and Newb 3.50 Alutiq 13/2 ish |

3.50 Newbury .....a sprint with 24 runners on going that has FIRM being part of it! Odds look a bit too low to take that race on FBF......GL with that one. Would not even hazzard a "guess" for that race
 1.50 also looks a fierce race....and your selection, being a 7 yo, may find the youngsters too hot to handle today on GTF going. 5-1 SP ( 6.6 BF odds) looks too short for that one too for a WIN.......a place bet might be the play on that race......Kitten On The Run looks a possible one to threaten to win.......but too many in with a shout to win....so odds maybe too short as well!!! Looks like I ain't got the bottle to tackle those two races today.....but probably will  Hope your two bolt in!!!! GL |

Good evening,
Thanks DF, but when you're on a bad run, you're on a bad run, and you're right, the price was a bit short in the 3.50. Maybe this Saturday might improve a bit..... I've been waiting a year to back Don't Call Me back over 7f, so run or not, I've taken the 25/1 that is currently available. Don't Call Me: 7f: 113312 Ascot 7f 312 I've ignored the overseas runs. This horse is best over 7f and this race is ideal. |

The only one I'm adding for tomorrow is Baccarat in the 3.30 at York. With a bit of selective reasoning in his record, looks to have a decent chance at odds of 10/1.

Good evening.
I'm avoiding that garbage at Ascot this year and believe I have 3 winners for tomorrow. Suffice it to say, I am confident. Hayd 2.20 Sennockian Star 6/1 ish Hayd 2.55 Telescope 8/11 ish Newm 3.35 Midnite Angel 7/2 The prices aren't brilliant but hopefully they will justify support. |

Good morning.
A bad case of 2nd itis last week. So, just two for today atm. Newmarket 2.55 Midnight Flower 6/1 gen Ripon 3.30 Spinatrix 10/1 gen s o d s law says Baccarat will win |

Good evening
Have gone with Number Theory in the Ebor with the strong possibility of soft ground tomorrow. The horse has yet to be out of the frame at 10f or more left handed with plenty of cut. Fingers crossed. In the 2.55 at Goodwood, Magic City seems to have decent claims and is still 7/1. |
|
By:
Good evening.....
Before I forget...... Alejandro 2.55 Chest 8/1 Sennockian Star 3.50 Sand 11/2  |

As I've been feeling a bit 'miffed' with the flat this year, I thought it was a good a time as any to have a look at one or two jumps races for the coming season. My liking for one particular horse under specific circumstances is well documented on here, so although his participation in the King George is far from certain, I've decided to have some small bets on Menorah A/P this year, and am just hoping the owner/trainer see sense instead of running last years failure, Captain Chris.......we shall see.  At least 33/1 available and bits at bigger on here. I've seen far far worse A/P bets over the years. Apart from his very obvious course form, he has also proved now that he gets the trip on tight tracks and will go on any ground, although on my figures the softer the better. |

Good evening.
I have settled on doing 3 tomorrow, although I do like the look of Montridge in the 2.40 at Haydock, a bit short for me though. I've banged on for ages about Don't Call Me (16/1) under specific circumstances, which he has again tomorrow in the 1.55 at Ascot. That last run isn't as bad as it looks and I think he will go well again in this smaller field. In the Old Borough Cup up at Haydock due off at 3.15, I am expecting a good run from Platinum (10/1) and this is a good price because of the Prescott horse, which imo is way too short. In the 3.30 at Ascot I see no reason why Special Meaning shouldn't be thereabouts again and 6/1 is a good price for this consistent horse. |

Hi FBF.....Hope you get some coming in today!
As I have started to use my system to rate some races to day.....hard to get energy up to do so....then the 1.55 race was one rated and it may be of interest to you..... 13:55 1,Pythagorean 2,Redvers 3,Hasopop 4,Light Up My Life 5,Les Troyens 6,Trail Blaze 7,Gabriel's Lad 8,Democretes 9,Born To Surprise =============================================================== 10,Summerinthecity 11,Galician 12,Shebebi 13,Don't Call Me 14,Glen Moss 15,Excellent Guest 16,Monsieur Chevalier 17,Field Of Dream As you will note last years' winner is only 13th rated......but of course I may have got race "wrong" .......Going may well be against it today.Favourite holds a fair chance to win .....but some of those just rated behind it might beat it ....who knows!!!! GL today. |
|
By:
Was a "good" result for first ratings for a while.....first 4 home in top 6 rated.
Unfortunately none of my LAYS for IR were matched.....probably due to posting ratings on here  They kept the GOING a secret til near off FBF......and just would not suit last years' winner.... GL with other bets today. |

By:
Sorry ...should be 4 out of top 7 rated....a bit knackered after just 2 races for system!!!!

FBF - undecided is running a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE competition soon....and there is one more spot available if interested in comp. 63 in for it so far ....with one spot to go!
If you are interested ...you better post to the thread under YOUR COMPETITIONS re CHAMPIONS LEAGUE asap....as likely to be snapped up soon! Cheers the nooooooooo. |

Wasn't gonna bother, but............ 2.40 and I think Art Official 16/1 with PP e/w is way too big. Competitive race, but even so......................Taken. |

Good evening.
Two for tomorrow with one being very strong I think. In the 2.20 at Chester Balty Boys can go well again and anything around the 5/1 mark looks ok. My Nap though, simply has to be Gregorian in the 3.15 at Doncaster, was 9/2 earlier, but I can see this going off favourite tomorrow and 4/1 or better should be taken. |
|
By:
Morning.
Meant to put one up for the Ayr GC earlier in the week at 20/1 but forgot. FWIW it was Gabriels Lad. Price long gone on that one. However the other one I'm interested in now with a 'good' draw maybe, is Spinatrix. I've fancied both horses in the past and still think one of them can win a big one. |
|
By:
Eves.
A big pay day tomorrow when all these win........ 2.40 Ayr Colonal Mak 10 ish 2.55 Newb Saxo Jack 7 ish 3.15 Ayr Blockade 12 ish 3.50 Ayr Spinatrix 20 ish |

Hi FBF.......tough day for getting a winner...so good luck with above ones.
As bit hungover ......head probably not up to pinning winners.....but will have a few guesses just to have something to watch racing. 2.40 - CM is a popular selection amongst Napsters in DIVISIONS comp .....It is drawn 7.....and right alongside it are 2 Ryan trained horses that may pose a threat in race. TRAILBLAZE has ran many times over 7 furlongs and on going today it suit this one ....as obviously has strength to go another furlong. The other one has interesting Irish jockey booking.......but TRAILBLAZE at the odds may be an fair EW bet. Time for a coffee!!!! GL |
|
By:
2.55 Saxo Jack won last 2 races ...so in form and relatively lightly raced ...so can see why these factors should give it a good chance on going ....May well win. GL with that one.
Trade Commissioner is the one that catches the eye ......May well be biggest danger in race if weight does not stop it! Chapter Seven may come to life today....but TC is my guess on this race |
|
By:
Poor run from my 2.40 guess.....
|
|
By:
3.15 The Irish raider might be one to take a chance on.....Remember You .....but really difficult race with all being 2 yods on going.
Your one should have a good chance ....hope it wins FBF. |
|
By:
3.50 Market on here has most of high drawn horses as where winner might come from.
DODDS 2 both high drawn.....and many in DIVISIONS opting for last year Silver Cup winner MASS RALLY..... Looks a night mare race to get winner in......I opted for HAWKEYETHENOOO with Fallon on it....but DRAW not a good one probably.....and age probably against it to .......The Fallon booking was what caught my eye. Duke Of Firenze has PIVOTAL as sire and well drawn ....with lady jockey on and NOT FALLON.....who sometimes rides for STOUTE. This was an interesting factor re jockeys...... .Your last selection again appears to have a chance to win......but would back MASS RALLY as well....as likely one of two leads the other one .....but which won wins.....Hope you grab this one....but FALLON booking makes race interesting for me for GOLDIE! Cheers the noooooooooooooooooooooooo |

Those draw well with interesting jockey bookings that are in weight range where winner tendas to come from are - Duke Of Firenze Khubala Red Dubawi Humidor Louis The Pious RED DUBAWI might be one that goes well today |
|
By:
FALLON tried his best to carry HETN home ....but was slow out and lost any chance then ......
DRAW of winner ...on HIGH side....whereas FALLON's had a bad draw........ Again a fav did not win............... Rubbish guesses from me today.....though suspect HAWKEYETHE NOO will win when better drawn and going faster..... Cheers the nooooooooooo |

Just seen all this DF
Flat has been awful this year....Roll on the jumps!......Maybe this week? |

By:
Good morning.
Have done two so far today, one on the flat and one over the jumps. 2.15 Market Rasen Watered Silk 7/1 gen 3.30 Haydock Burning Thread 10/1 gen Also been looking at the Cambs. Still to decide on that. |

Am feeling really confident now with one half decent winner last week and should land a treble tomorrow! (whistles innocently) Well, hopefully they will all at least give a good account....... York 1.50 Thouwra 4/1 gen Newm 2.05 Highland Colori 6-7/1 gen Newm 2.35 Sudirman 5/1 gen 11/2 PP |

GL with last selection FBF.
Going at CATTERICK now HEAVY ....no surprise there then ! 3.05 JOE THE COAT looks an "interesting" one in a CLAIMER....and SILVER TIGRESS appears a threat as well as fav..... Possibly backing both to WIN with a cover SFC on FAV beating either one might be ok..... The type of race and going makes it a dodgy race to take on ....BUT ....may be fruitful at odds. GL |

YUP ...a dodgy race to take on!
Other 2 guesses today are - 3.55 SEATTLE DRIVE 4.25 PRINCELY PLAYER Enough guesses by meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... Cheers the nooooooooooooo |
