Got the ew bet up in the Lucky last, but it was backed in from $16 to $9.8

Early picks for Wednesday as I’m away from HK for the week and can’t access gambling sites.

R5 Super Giant to win (could be ew price), first go at HV but won well at Chester not the best of draws but could be a decent price.
R6 California Fortune EW, interested to see how he goes as he’s been beaten last 2 by Regency Legend who I think is a group horse if he progresses from a 3yo.
R8 Epic EW, one run so far and might improve, has trialled fairly well.

So sick - still happy with the $25/1 place starting price

paid 188/1 on the Win - think i'll get half of that - unbelievable

I’m having 2 bets, Furore ew in the 4yo series as he’s currently around $9. In R2 a small ew on no 7, first up but he’s trialled vet well.

50-50 could run a place in the G1 vs Beauty Generation, leaving the 2000m race completely as the brothers will no doubt ruin each other’s chances again - I think TW is being run by Cruz to do that and then sets up Exultant to win....but he’s not a price you could back. Waikuku running in R5 too.

I am looking at a few each way tonight - one I am particularly keen on is Shining Gem in R5, not a great draw but he's a good price to make it worthwhile at 10-1. I think the 8 horse will win R6 but and may not be an ew bet now, Callan's horse ew in R7 could go well from gate 1

Hi Roz.....I'm equally unlucky (or a bad judge) at both of them!

The best way to bet either course is wait until the last half of the card and see how the track is running, which can be a pain if you've got something early on in the card that you really like. If that's the case I tend to rein in the stake, if I like one later in the card and it suits the way the track is running then i will increase the stake.The other point to note is the course that is being used and how horses tend to run on that course, generally anything on the C you need a handy horse as not much comes from the back. Those that trial well on the AWT generally run well at HV but you cannot underestimate the affect on the lights and the crowd at HV so it's definitely horses for courses.....I suppose it takes years of experience, I've been here 11 years now and I struggle - but that is sometimes down to poor discipline too!!!

On another note, KR has 2 entries for the festival (He's 33-1 for both at the moment), but I wouldn't back him just yet as he may not run as he could run earlier in a different valuable handicap. IT's all ground dependent.....will keep you updated as and when.

Will come back later on my thoughts about tomorrow

I wont be betting at Cheltenham this year like years past - just on the last day for interests sake - getting a bit too wise to become too involved in all the hype.

I've decided to only follow International Racing from now on - Its where all my profit has come from within the last 14 months.

good luck today - i'll be up early to watch the racing 5am out time

Waikuku (my outsider pick a few weeks ago for the derby) runs again today over 1800m. Hopefully he runs well enough to go for the actual race in 2 weeks. He’s carrying top weight so I’m having an ew go on Charity Go as I think he’s the value in the race at 10-1, won’t be too disappointed if Waikuku wins though as that could see him fav for the big race.

inspired selection - should have followed you in

Well, he's in for Thursday.....rain has come, extra 4f should suit....he's well, but it's Cheltenham!!

Thanks Roz, I’m hoping for a bit more rain but g/s and soft should suit him. He doesn’t owe us anything so it’s just amazing to have a horse decent enough to get in. I don’t agree (obviously biased) with the expert views that he was found wanting off this Mark last run, he only had 3 weeks between runs and didn’t really enjoy the ground that much.

I think it will improve him as his better hurdle form was at around 2m 3/4f - just hope for a safe round and a decent showing, can’t believe the price on here! He has raced near to the pace before so I’m hoping he won’t be too far back and he brings his best jumping, if he does that then he’ll be in with a shout.

150/1 on betfair win market , 12/1 place market

Was always going to be tough for Riko - only a select few horses can act around there.

I backed that Mullins mare  Concertista at crazy prices on the exchange in the 4.50 - so sick beaten by a short head - had never run over hurdles in any country

Good luck today Accie with Waikuku

Ive played a little ew on MARQULA at 30/1 in Race 4 - only $21 on the HK tote at this moment ... which will most likely get bigger as we get closer to the race.

Yeah i seen him  running on - its just so brutal there at Chelts , also all the rigmarole in the paddock

any other horses you like today ?

Have BF dropped Hong Kong?

Cards have been missing the last couple of weeks.

Sent you PM - Dinos, Accie

Chairmans Sprint , any opinions Accie, Dinos ?
