Having got very good prices loads of dogs antepost, only to see them start short favourites for their finals but suffer defeat, Ballymac Eske is next in line.
Tale of woe:
Taylors Sky, Gold Cup Slick Santiago/Boher Paddy, Steel City Loughteen Blanco, Sussex Cup Taylors Sky, Select Stakes Milldean Panther, Gold Cup Westmead Maldini, Monmore Festival Stayers Whittle Murtagh, Gymcrack Taylors Sky, Derby Romeo Patrol, Regency Meadowbank Owl/Farloe Kyle etc, 3 Steps Mill Bling Bling, Scottish Derby Bubbly Phoenix, Monmore Puppy Cup Droopys Loner, Arc Express Trend, Golden Jacket Rockview Sail, Coronation Cup Ballymac William, Prestige
£325 down on the year, never been in the red at this stage before since keeping records about 5 years ago. Eske would claw back £52, but i honestly cant see it happening

I do feel that maybe you go for the obvious a bit though woody even if you get the best price available...there is not a lot of scope for value because what you see....so does everybody else
I am not sure that laying Frankel on Wednesday was the best time to break the habit of a lifetime though
I hope Ballymac Eske wins for you at last

Cheers Gery. Think i'm just luckless this year. As mentioned on another thread had problems with car, which i've just found out is beyond economical repair!

Oh Tobe, think youre missing the point. Value or not who in their right mind wouldnt want 9/2 about an evens shot in a final? The percentages simply say i should have had far more winners than i have, considering the short odds. Like i say, luckless

Hope Eske connections go the Derby next year, as i'm holding tickets at 33/1 and 50/1. Would be hoping just to keep qualifying, with good middle draw and one of his decent breaks in the final
Oh, ps. Car got a reprieve, i'm mobile again. Hope Eske connections go the Derby next year, as i'm holding tickets at 33/1 and 50/1. Would be hoping just to keep qualifying, with good middle draw and one of his decent breaks in the final
Well done Woody, a winner at last. However, I am slightly surprised you never had your maximum of £50 on the dog considering the case you put up. You have let a tenner slip through your fingers there.

In the region of £25 is a large bet for me Safari. Only ever gone the £50 maximum twice. Different story with antepost but then i may have several dogs. Was into the English Derby to the tune of over £300, got it back on Blonde Snapper and £140 riding on the Irish Derby, got half the field left at this stage.
Anyway, i could be on a roll now, enter 16/1 Starmount Swift in the big one at Hove tonight!
