I'm not exactley a big gambler in the grand scheme of things racingguru, and also tend to spread my betting around the firms. The only restrictions I've encountered are with VCbet he took my BOG away,and Boyle spots who have limited me to very small stakes(laughably small). I usually empty my accounts after a win, then start a fresh with new money going in etc, maybe the accounte department are seeing a regular influx of cash going in, who knows.... maybe it's only a matter of time before they call time on me, but I've been ok thus far.

He bets with 265 if you read carefully.

Bit of a blow if you're sh1tt1ng yourself!

Very funny stewarts, thought that remark had gone undetected Facts have him as an 11-2 shot at best, and if he's fancied to improve for his last run even that may look big if connections get stuck in.



.........Having quite liked Fama Mac Lto over Catterick’s 5F, I see no reason why he can’t run another massive race tomorrow given the manner of his victory in that last contest. That day he was very smartly away from the gates, and although headed early on showed enough early toe to sit handy for his jockey, really travelling well on the soft under foot conditions. Mr Aaron James riding him that day seemed to get at him on the approach to the 2 furlong pole, and managed to keep him going with a most unorthodox style of knit one, pearl one up to the point where the race was in safe keeping.

That was Fama Mac’s first victory, and in registering that first win landed some tidy bets in the process, a stable Imo that have a relatively good knowledge more often than not of when a decent run is expected. Connections have stepped him up slightly in grade, as well as trip, but obviously must think this is certain to suit as he also holds an entry in a class 6 over 5F at Nottingham on Wednesday. His latest run was off the back of an 80 day absence, and normally comes on a bundle for a run, with the only exception being when he was stepped up to 10F on good ground last May, initially making his seasonal debut over7.

Tomorrow’s heavy ground should also suit, having all of his best form on a very soft surface, and plenty other good runs on an easy surface, and is far from exposed as a sprinter form on easy gorund or worse between 5 & 7F reads 2-3-2-2-2-10-1. Tomorrow he looks also to have Imo a very good draw, as in recent times jockeys have spurned the stands rail in recent season’s, which used to be a golden highway in years gone by in such testing conditions. Julie Burke has only had 7 rides for the yard, but looks to have been a lucky omen having rode 2 winners and a place from those rides, showing a nice £12.38 profit to level stakes, and has done reasonably well at the venue of Newcastle from limited attempts ( 3 from 17 + £13.50 ). All things being equal Fama Mac should even improve for stepping back up to 6, with the horse he beat Lto running a massive race at Musselburgh today, giving the form of that recent win a little boost, and will most definitely benefit from more assured handling that Julie Burke will provide.

Fama Mac does look to hold a very good chance again tmr but this race looks harder than last weeks and wonder if Toby Tyler might improve on last weeks run in a quicker race.

Have you looked at the last race at Nottm Robster?

^^^^ would have preferd to have seen him over 6F as well.

No probably not, but in that last contest it was like for like.... she has professionals to outride tomorrow. To be fair it doesn't look like she's been given much to ride with a chance since the summer, but her involvement still tempers my enthusiasm.

Extra bet day 291. 1pt E.W. Fama Mac 17.20 Nottingham. 8-1 B465 BOG.

Obviously due to run yesterday but Newcastle abandoned, having talked my conscience into giving Nora Moscrop ago I've decided to play him E.W., on the balance of things looks too well handicapped to let him go, despite the riding arrangements... Imo would be a 7-2 / 9-2 shot with De Sousa or a top jock up, but 8-1 seems fair all things considered.

robster: Was actually looking at Bothy myself, but the drift (14s on Betfair)is somewhat off-putting? 4.2 to place is unreal and one wonders if they will save him for bigger races?

Good luck nevertheless, you picks are always a cracking good read.

Very unlucky Robster just touched off, good job you took the Bog though!

BOG Hi Dancer @ 6/1. SP 12/1!

Just two words why Fama Mac didn't win.....Nora Moscrop

What about Eva?

........Tomorrow Dirleton takes up his engagement in the 16.10 at Uttoxeter, and it’s one of those occasions where I’m screaming Gamble,Gamble,Gamble!,in my mind. Having been trained prior to his time off course (presumably through injury) by George Charlton, now finds himself placed with a trainer that can almost do little wrong at present.

The combination of Timmy Murphy / Raymond Anderson-Green (father-in-law) has been reasonably good over the last few season, and it now looks like he’s advised his father in-law to send a horse down to his tenant, Fergal O’Brien. The horse on all known should have no right to play a part in the finish, but connections look like they have him very well handicapped on 82 for his first attempt in this sphere, and stepping up an extra half mile in the mud is almost showing their hand(Imo). The O’Brien outfit continue to been in very good order, and has another interesting runner on the card, along with a one at Wincanton. The way his other runners have been performing on seasonal debut illustrates he’s very capable of getting one ready to run, and certain improvement will no doubt in my mind be forthcoming. I’m also certain Timmy would have been familiarising himself with the gelded son of Flemensfirth at home, and he does look a decent stamp of a horse judging by some video footage.

Dirleton’s future looks to lie over a much longer trip over the bigger obstacles, but I’d be amazed if this was not extremely well handicapped in tomorrow’s race, and everything looks set for a big run against some fairly exposed types, and only carrying 10-08lbs in the very heavy f/cast going could be worth many lengths at the business end.
