Is this current version of him the worst there has ever been?
On the front of the "Favourite" today he was warning bookies of a "blood bath" over his tips. He managed a couple of "bookie bashing" ODDS-ON winners. Even if we excuse this due to competitive nature, there's simply no excusing his daily treble (bar odd exception) being made up from mostly short prices. The bookies must luv any devout follower of his.
What makes it more annoyingly ridiculous is not long after he got the job, he did a piece with parts suggesting he wouldn't be backing the damn obvious.
Templegate says…
"First of all you have to trust your own judgment — ignore racecourse whispers and tips from a bloke whose cousin's brother valets cars in Newmarket.
Far more 'good things' get turned over than win in my experience. Don’t forget, several yards in the same race can think their horse is a cert.
When I started everything was in paper form books and it did take a long time to weigh up a race properly.
But thanks to the internet, you can now watch a replay of any horse's runs which can help.
On the Flat don't forget areas like the draw which can make a massive impact at some tracks with Chester and Beverley the most obvious ones.
I try to picture how the race will be run as some tracks suit front-runners and others are best to come from off the pace.
Yet the bottom line is still the same - you have to put the hours in.
Look for a horse that is proven on the ground and will like the distance. Those two factors are still the most important.
If a horse needs it like a road it's unlikely to perform in the mud and you can rule out a lot of horses that way.
If you can find a horse that has won or gone close in the class, is proven on the ground and likes the distance then you have the makings of a decent bet.
Don't forget the jockey either.
There are some riders who excel at certain tracks like Richard Kingscote at Chester, while Andrea Atzeni has a strong record at Sandown especially on favourites.
All these factors can help you pick a winner."

Prosniper, you know all 3 will win tomorrow now, that's how it works on here
But I agree with you...Most if not all of these tipsters are just tipping up favs without much explanation as to why... Money for old rope... I remember seeing the newspaper tipsters table in the Post and the winner for the year had finished on a minus figure for theoretical pound per day on their nap. IE, the best of about 50 newspaper tipsters had lost less than anybody else, not one in profit. Says it all |

Reggie, @ just above 2/1, of course the trb has a chance. It won't stop these type of "tips" in general being ridiculous. Even by "tipping" rubbish like this, the combo still won't win at a healthy enough rate anyway. So we'll have this type of garbage being sent out with no treble hitting in days/weeks/even months(with NO REPORTING on how ****g USELESS they've been)..And then the 1 day out of umpteen that it bounces in, The Sun will be sure to have some sort of splash about their genius guru the following day, something like: "Our main man was it AGAIN yesterday(SHAMELESSLY acting like it happens on the regular) bashing up the bookies with a 5/2 TREBLE!!!"

Sometimes they do very well with 99 ratings on horses, have a lot of winners, hit and miss as usual, worth throwing in a few on a multiple bet, just have to be lucky

Last time I read Templegate was when I bought the paper - must have been about 30 years ago!

Buy paper every day, can’t afford to buy the times, which is a much better read

Used to buy the Racing Post & Daily Telegraph every day until August 31st 2007 , not bought any form of newspaper since.

I stopped buying newspapers, i'd rather be uninformed than misinformed.
and i use to buy the racing post everyday up until it went past £2.50. Not bought it for ages now. Pricewise has gone, no point in looking at the price grid as its about as truthful as the bible, and who wants to know what Richard Birch has backed |

I laid the two that won and bet Shallow River, which was one of my bets of the day (not great ride, let the leader too much rope). #worstpunter :(

Fair enough, Sunday's was very short, partly because the Sunday tips are done on a Friday and those horses weren't as short then. Plus there were two jumps meetings to choose from with mostly small fields. Try to make it around 20-1 as a minimum and often much longer. The treble is in profit for 2023 but we'd all like to see it win more often.
