Final Account drifted betting,One Hart has come in,maybe they are trying to tell u something
 |
|
By:
Thanks t, One Hart also looks good..
Inexplicable 13/2 5th 11/2 Lynns Boy 7/1 3rd 11/2 The 4yr old Final Account was a CD winner in early February and has remained in form since, has been favourite the last two runs and was a close third off this mark 17 days ago. |
|
By:
B,not saying Final Account cannot win,but usually if they drift a form horse and the other form horse is backed,there is a reason.

Those Saturday nights are really good mh, big gang of us have been to a Beatles night, Queen, Soul night and a Take That night. Used to be great going with my Mum and Dad and family and friends, nice people at Wolverhampton and we had a laugh, good food in both restaurants and I went a few times when we had tiny shares with Peter Makin.
I saw a bookie lose all his money at Wolverhampton as well, it was a Monday and not too many there but everyone was backing the favourite in one of the early races and I'm not sure what happened but his stand was turned over and another bookie paid us out and the bookie said to me " He's done his money. Peter Makin was a gentleman and spoke like the Queen, he gave nothing away but put you straight when one wasn't ready, good times. Bank now £3,663 Profit £663 22pts Profit |

HAVEN LADY just lost out for me last week at Wolverhampton and now returns to the scene of her CD success last October off the same mark as last week for one of the better jockeys in this apprentice race who has had a few winners lately.
Southwell 6-30 Lady Nagin 9/2 BOG LADY NAGIN was a CD winner at the turn of the year for today's jockey Robert Havlin over 6f. Didn't look suited by 5f 24 days ago and a return to her winning distance a couple of lbs less could do the trick. Southwell 7-30 How Bizarre 9/2 BOG How BIZARRE is a winner of five races from 7f to 1m including a win on the old Southwell fibresand but last win was over two years ago and now 20lbs less. Beaten a nose by todays favourite Cavalluccio when second of 8 at 5-1 four days a go and I'm hoping my rule of opposing rivals isn't always correct.. |

Well done with Lady Marie yesterday, Billy

Been out all day at Martin Meer Nature Reserve, I didn't know there were so many fabulous birds, isn't nature Wonderful.. Southwell 7-00 Too Much 7/1 BOG Going to take a chance with TOO MUCH to turn the tables on the Hot favourite Mountain Song who beat my fancy in January when they were 2nd and 3rd over a near 1m2f. While TOO MUCH travelled strongly leading over 1f out and winning comfortably over CD next time out 26 days ago, while I am hoping this drop in trip won't suit MS as much. |

You're definitely a ladies' man Billy, well done again

 Could be a Good System, just back horses with Lady in their name, some are Bizarre and just Too Much so you never know.. |

By:
I said something last week about when a horse beats another and when they meet again on revised terms the horse who won seems to my mind to win again. It worked in my favour last week twice and today both horses came out best again.
I am going to make it a rule going forward.. Bank now £3783 Profit £783 26pts Profit |

With being an ex-joiner I am nailing my colours to the mast with The 5yr old NAIL GUNNER who has won three times here at Wolverhampton over 6f but has ran really well when upped to today's 7f since the start of this year. He was beaten only a length and then a neck in January and then pulled off a career best when just denied by a short head 33 days ago off a mark of 66.
I have had a bit of luck lately with young in-experienced lady jockeys and I'm hoping Ivan Furtado's apprentice Elle-May Croot can follow the trend and do the trick with her 7lb allowance being the final piece of the jigsaw. CEDAR CAGE has been successful over 7f on the old Southwell fibresand and then 6 days ago at 1m 6f here at Wolverhampton. Un-penalised for that cosy win and George Eddery takes the ride again reverting back to 1m4f still claiming his 7lb allowance. Mixed it in much better company when with Sir Mark Prescott and with doubts about this class 5 for main rival Johnny Boom who is still 7lbs above his last win. ENGLISH SPIRIT seemed to love the step up in trip to 1m 1 1/2f when successful over CD 19 days ago and gets into this same grade race and is another who had a career best LTO. Not the greatest of clues but Joshua Bryan looked to have the choice of my fancy and market rival Snooze Lane and I'm hoping he can ride them all to sleep. Going to also back SEVEN POCKETS who is also a CD winner and might have a bit of class beyond this level Wolverhampton 17:45 Seven Pockets 11/4 BOG |

Chelmsford City 3-55 Winklevi 7/2 BOG
8yr old gelding and the choice of Hollie Doyle who is a winner of six races from 1m 4f to 2m including here in January on last win in an apprentice race off a mark of 60. Back to form last week when beaten by Cedar Cage when second of 8 at 7-2 and considering he won off 77 over this distance of 1m6f in December 21 he could be another winner for the in-form David Evans.. |

Chelmsford City 5-05 Smooth Ryder 11/4 BOG
I know there is a mover in the betting but I had SR as a 11/8-6/4 shot so I must back The Andrea Atzeni choice now that the 11/4 is available. Charlie Johnston has made a flying start and if the 3yr old is true to his name it could be another winner for the new trainer after finding trouble in running 34 days ago. |

Profit £573 19pts Profit I didn't see the race today, I have been up all day to watch the racing with my Dad but was on my way home because his carers had come and he had put Perry Como and Doris Day on youtube because his last race had run. Before the carers he was going to bed at 3-30 when the racing used to finish early. He is 88 and has had a bet every day since he was 14, he now backs 12 horses in three lucky 15's but only for 10p, £4.50 a day. I don't put the bet on but give his betting bank back to my Mum, they have saved £600 in the past few years and my Dad doesn't know. |

Musselburgh 1-50 Lion Of War 7/2 BOG
The in-form team of Oisin Murphy and Charlie Johnson have LION OF WAR in the opener who has been successful twice over 7f on GF ground and on Newcastle's AW winning by 10L. Returns after 168 days but won on debut last season and wasn't too far behind in a Haydock listed event in September. The winner in September was Naval Power who won a Meydan 75k listed race in January and if there is any doubt about the return to a mile there is a good connection with todays jockey who won plenty on the colts Sire Roaring Lion over a mile and 1m2f with his Dam also winning at 1m2f |

Brilliant story about yer dad, Billy!
Good luck to the old chap. Might cost you if he hits a big 'un though!  |

Lion Of War 3rd
Thanks rb, he does mostly favourites and 2nd favs and even if they all won it is usually only about £30 - £60. Had a funny moment a few months back, his first three all won at 3/1, 4/1 and 11/2 and I phoned up as his last went off. His carers where there and they were seeing to him as he was sitting on his commode and they were all cheering his last 4/1 favourite as it took it up only to get beat in a photo. Should of been me in his place if it had won.. I used to have a bit of luck with these a few years ago. A horse making it's debut handicap Chasing after only running in maiden and novice hurdles previous.. Haydock 5-00 Oconnell 7/1 BOG |

The Phillip Makin trained gelding was 6/4f that day and stepping into a maiden handicap from the same mark and as they say " Hasn't got much to beat.. |
