Sky TV, Belle Vue - Oaks and Laurels

Managed to turn things around with Champagne/Babooshka and looking good antepost, although would have liked Tyrur Caroline in my team

Tyrur Supermac produced a rapid 27.34calc in preparation for the Laurels. General Sherman, Roxholme Barkley and Blue Moment also pretty speedy

Even tho will still only be 80% or so, great draw for Twilight, couldn't have asked for more. Caroline got great draw as well, Wallis be fuming

Laurels

Best I can see so far:

8/1 Supermac
10/1 Rebel
12/1 Barkley
14/1 Kerry
14/1 Bigmans
14/1 Blue
16/1 Gravy
16/1 Whitey
16/1 Scolari
16/1 Loose
20/1 Bar

Giving a chance to a couple not quoted there

8/1 Tyrur Supermac on the strength of one good trial where the -60 going was clearly out of Billy Liar's book of Terminalogical Inexactitudes.

I don't ferkin think so.

First run in 1930, the Laurels is steeped with history and it's a crying shame demoted to Cat Two these days. Draper has won 3 of the last 7 runnings with Boherna Best, Eden Star and Farloe Warhawk, but not represented this time around

Yes Miss Wales, Supermac trialled very quickly recently at Nottingham, but went out like a light in the Eclipse to my expense anyway. You've got to ask yourself what else is there really. General Sherman another quick enough to win a Laurels but gets behind then doesn't produce his running. Maybe a little each-way risk at 33/1 okay though.

The Coolavanny Rebel I knew should be nowhere near 10/1, much much larger. Respect the Roxholme pair but fancy McGee's speedy 20/1 hope Hillcroft Hero. Don't give his other runner any chance whatsoever. Lister's got some greyhounds coming through now, like Tyrur Caroline in the Oaks and Bigmans Kid could fare well at 14/1, as could smart but enigmatic same price Blue Moment, finalist last year. If there was specials betting, what price Lister to win the Laurels? (Won it last year with Jordans Brianna)

Derby runner-up 25/1 Tynwald Bish could put best foot forward round here and worth keeping an eye on. Wouldn't totally rule out Cat One winner 20/1 Swift Keith. If youre looking for a huge outsider each-way 50/1 Johns Present could fit the bill in a wide open competition

My main two for starters Hillcroft Hero and General Sherman, but not ideal drawn together in first heat

Good luck!

bit of blue on oddschecker derby market for forest twilight!     fingers crossed for a good run tomorrow please.

never mind the blue for the derby,theres gonna be some blue for the oaks tomorrow...

just went to lower me 70's and it had gone.  lol....feel like iv been mugged again

seriously tho....thanks for the bet.

got back in line at 50's now.


hope so pat!

well all the 40s has dried up but chaotic linda @ 33s.....ok she has a right quirk but shes proven in the very top class of bitches(see monmore earlier in the year),she looked in good nick the other night,she has a decent draw with a middle straights early pacer drawn outside her this round which gives her scope to qualify,theres a lot of bitches in front of her in the market who quite simply arent as fast as shes capable of and arent as draw resistant either,bet linda at 33s ew.

Hillcroft hero 20s with Irish firms ????
Not run since the summer what's wrong with him ???
Can believe the dog be so big if fully fit ??

Woody

Please don't waste your money on General Sherman. He's won one race in his life. Lightning fast in trials but hopeless in company. He's a bit like Kolo Toure - he only gets a gig because his brother's a great player. 

Even Julie B says Belle Vue is not the General's track, yet it's the only place he's run in the last 4 months. What she really means is racing's not his game.

Yes Wales, Sherman extremely frustrating but may produce the goods when it matters, one day. You say no way Supermac's trial was on .60 slow but even at half that allowance, quick enough to land that race tonight. Done him on 4/1 treble with bankers Twilight and Caroline as biggest bet of the night. Twilight ought to improve but even so, not sure she would defy Caroline if they both reach the final. Thought Lister's bitch showed scintillating pace up last week and looks a star in the making

Only other two smaller bets 11/4 Bigmans Kid and 9/2 Tynwald Bish

Barkley is certainly backable at 7/4, but got enough interest antepost in the opening heat of the Laurels already

Good luck!

Of the two competitions, biggest payout Roswell Flo Jo in the Oaks. Just hope she starts better and doesn't hang around tonight

Chaotic Lynda @ 6s, just go around in front and keep kidding them along like last time

1k waiting to back twilight for the derby at 70's.      big run tonight coming!

£2500 I can see. Think irrelevant of what she does in Oaks, she'l be in better shape come the Derby, she still 12 weeks or so out of season tonight; so must be a good way below her best but can still win

yeah  they just topped up!

ROMFORD TONIIGHT AS WELL I TAKE IT



few bets FLEMISH STATUS 4@ thought it run a mighty race last week from bad draw
Take a toe from six I hope

MANIC PELLEGRINI 4@ thought across the way was very poor last week this dog had major chance along the rail

Small plays CANVAS COSTA 7/2 want to see this break , hope the red fulls out again auto be away good trial Tuesday

Jaytee India 9/4 up to her if she wins

No plays at belle

3 times this useless boring idiot has been on this week, shocking

jeeez

Twilight was chasing shadows run-up and did well to go front rank but lack of condition told on .90 slow, treading water home straight

Strange greyhound Flo Jo. Chucked a very good qualifying opportunity

Luckless recently. Both 2/5 Jet Stream Trail (stopped at every turn) and Evs Twilight have let me down for good trebles past few days

So anyway, still got some semi-final irons in the fire

PS 8.42 tricast paid £58 but a whopping £307 on the Tote

Woody i would not say losing on mug acca's is luckless tbh, lazy yes, luckless no

hopefully Lynda drew the inside box again for the semi final

I'd say unlucky. Run the races again and pretty sure the pair would have won

?

Telly better than the dog racing tonight

PF, Chaotic Lynda got stripes in the Oaks semis

There ain't no need to rub salt in is there woody

Didn't mean to. Didn't know who was aware. Warning to possibly lay some off?

woody u got the draw pleas mate

First Semi
1 Newinn
2 Expert
3 Babooshka
4 Evita
5 Caroline
6 Chaotic

Second Semi
1 Sue
2 Chic
3 Hottie
4 Champagne
5 Domino
6 Patjenny

Very wet last Friday. Whatever led won, with nothing coming from behind entire meeting

Got an each-way outsider in mind Oaks and going to top up another

Laurels, might add a couple of covers. Will let you know when I'm on

Nothing clever saying the top pair look the ones to beat in the Laurels and although the going got fractionally slower throughout the night if anything, Roxholme Barkley was still quickest and think 6/1 fair enough, having avoided Supermac in the semis. Still biggest payout Hillcroft Hero, though

In the Oaks, thought 20/1 Bromwich Sue worth a little each-way interest. A finalist last year and fourth quickest last Friday, despite not the very best of runs, she could get the place money

Good luck!

Currently dry but very windy here in Manchester

Voucher in today's Racing Post for Sky finals night. Admits 4 people, free programmes and drinks

Coral got a 14/1 Lister special bet to win Oaks and Laurels, if youre interested

woody is Manchester still a fecking sh1tehole got tickets for the city / kraut match  but might enjoy  a manure pub more if they get done ?

did anyone get finals draws pls?

thanks deepdale

Nothing left in the Laurels but Caroline, Domino or Sue, ew, for profit in the Oaks

Like this card, set to be pretty good nights racing.
Can't wait to see bookies view anyway

Stay loose 3/1 7/2 365 which I would of liked
Fell out last week run a stromer only going down length or two missing the final
Just want him to trap  and hold his position

Why are the finals not up on oddschecker ??

Sorry see they're up now

Ballymac Ricky @ 10s will do for me in the Laurels final, slightly disappointed he didn't lead Blakes Turbo around in the semi final but had he been drawn inside him as tonight he would have, he needs a good start to hold whitey to the corner but he has his box and he has a ping in him, he leads around and he has a serious chance

Three for me tonight

Gleneagle Tina at 9/2 with Ladbrokes, Ricky at 10's and I'll give Mofara another go in the marathon at 9/4.


Good luck all

If only bolt traps level is the question can it ???
Draw of draws if it does

Can't even bring myself to watch 8 bend race

16s and 10s the pair at Notts now odds on and 9/4 tonight no thanks

I'm dispointed with prices tonight
Wanted to back Blake the Bob of vue 590 distance
5/2 with that draw and race to skinny

sage bush rolling by

don't people at Belle Vue actually bet?

Seems very strange, or is it a case of punters now betting online?

Was much busier on a wet tue's graded card at Reading than that.

Barkley missed the kick last week, hoping for a better start here.

Why am i bored sheitless by this card?

Played Dicky here, popping out over 460, chances if leading

not enough bets on it pat??

Say it every Sky meeting but these camera angles are awful

hard watch gwlad I agree

think thats what it is wonders cos theres some decent dogs on show for sure,perhaps a bit too exposed though to make things interesting

Whoosh oi oi a stewards enquiry

Jack TR plods around

Lerwick romps in like last year

its the calm before fridays storm , pat

sorry you bet a loser ravage

lol eye,thats probably it

Rickkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy Rickkkkkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy


Ping please

You're right PS I backed blakefield like fattie did

WD WHitey backers

Did I thought it was skinny ra after timing prick

That is lovely to see fair play,huge congrats to connections,sure mitch has loved watching over that tonight

aye well said pat

dean childs such a gent...70lb+ plus dog to lift on to the podium..."crack on carly girl"....ffs lol

Railed to good
Bolt is  hopeless at boxs shame iron that out be proper dog

dogs dont come off the pace at the zoo

a little push from upstairs goes a long way

Be a nightmare if derby is transferred to this track

T1 miss like 75 per cent of time
T3 and T4 come out like a rocket
And nothing comes from behind

Also most weeks awful bias and wides a few lengths slower

Hatton enjoying himself by the looks of it

bias tonight me thinks!

and boy did that lad earn it gs!

Just awesome to watch

He was PS, I'm a big boxing fan and he was a joy to watch

jeez this lad who has tipped 6 from 6 must be a judge

WIsh it did that the other week when on at 16's


still happy to collect tonight

aul Loopy was chasing it hard tonight

who was dodging the worst?

Fkin sick last time ,HOBB it didnt stay ,how is the cxnt employed

why did I watch that race

Stil have bile in my mouth case

Well done backers 9/4 was fair price

Pmsl Saying it did stay now

Case, only took him two weeks to realise what happened last time

who tipped 6/6 PF? switched over

Wonders, Livesey

should have guessed it was him with these results gwlad
7/4F, 8/11F, 4/7F, 5/2, 2/1JF, 6/4F, 7/4

not 1 dog that my nan couldn't have picked

smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash

12 for wallis

Some break that, wd Domino backers

Great performance from bitch(es) and trainer

Profit on the Oaks with bet on Domino Storm and place money Bromwich Sue

woodmanchester watched the coverage on sky on wednesday  enjoyed it had a few dogs on there with bev and otto noticed no henry  on the pitch next to the twin hope they have not had enough

another question for woody are keith s and the ghost still around

langdale flyer

Henry is still there on most nights but just works for Lee and Graham now, as far as I know, and effectively doesn't take sizeable bets any more.

Keith Singleton doesn't go to the track nowadays but still punts on the BAGS apparently.

The Ghost still attends every meeting and every trial session.

Is Langdale actually Irish, fishing? He said I was there Wednesday for finals night but I was in Lanzarote. How many bogus names he got?!

holidaying with lanza eh woody...something you aint telling us??

you lads go to Romford!  we go to Lanzarote!
