this card was much better with some conditions races on it
|

By:
Yep. How were they allowed ruin it. These types of handicaps are clearly for mugs. I wonder did the crookies have anything to do with this lol..

Choose the races that you are comfortable with and ignore the rest. Do you enjoy every music record you hear? It is Good Friday tomorrow. There wasn't any GB racing on that day until recently so ignore it.

Scared to lay a 600/1 in a handi

By:
11 years ago there was no racing on Good Friday!
Chelmsford is sold out, £1m prize money at Newcastle and Vase Day at Lingfiled. Some folk are never happy. |
|
By:
Funny how its just the ARC owned racecourses that race on Good Friday.
|
|
By:
Never happy, or just too easily pleased? Take your pick.
Why would prize money make any difference to how you punt/view the races? A fair few of the ticket sales will be down to day out merchants who probably couldn't give two hoots about the quality/difficulty of the races. |
|
By:
The prize money is a fair indication of the quality on offer. Be positive, there are still many of us that will attend a days racing because of the quality. However the game will always need the 'day out' merchants to attend when they want, its always been that way.

Will the OP kindly let us know what type of Horse Racing we should be betting on? Should we even bet this Bank Holiday weekend? Maybe he can show us his betting records and we can see what type of Horse Racing is most profitable and then we can follow him in..........

The better the quality the more likely I am to bet on it. Not necessarily just prize money and some of the races tomorrow are worth far more than the quality justifies. Lingfield 4.25. A class 4 fillies handicap, top weight rated 79 but £45000 in prize money. Good business for owners and trainers but no better than many £10000 races midweek. Won't be going near it.

I've brought up a "Cheltenham winners and lays" thread for the non believing mugs. Read it clowns and then get back to me. Whippin it's quite clear. Stay away from dross HANDICAPS. Cheers.

The OP is correct from a general punting perspective. This is fodder put on by the bookies for the bookies. It's almost impossible to have strong opinions on the races and the percentages in favour of the bookies will no doubt be pretty large. For those attending on course and the general betting shop/casual punter the odds are more stacked against them. Punters have been hoodwinked to believe that big fields and handicaps with 5/1+ the field are the best races to bet on because it suits the bookies that everyone believes that. In reality for the average punter it's the worst thing they could be betting on. Higher percentages and lottery type races only suit the bookies. Of course a few smart punters will enjoy this typeof racing and make money from it but the truth remains that these races are exactly what bookies want to make the most profit.

Melbourne Cup, dross handicap. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
|

By:
if you can't work out why you might back a horse in a 50k race but not in the same race worth 5k you clearly should give up gambling. If racing was run to suit sageform etc then it would be him and his mates at the course and thats it - they'd be happy but sod everyone else.

I'll pass on today's racing, cards like say Lingfield especially are really not for me at all.I
Rugby league and union day instead. |
|
By:
Chelmsford card is probably the best for me today. Those cards at Lingfield and Newcastle are far too hard.
|
|
By:
I will just be backing Andrew Balding as usual. A good second in the first race.

A big question for Slippy who knows his Rugby: St Helens or Wigan?
.... will be a cracking game mate! |

Makes for some great in-running opportunities though. One man's poison...

By:
Good to see the big crowds out too.

This Bazball 2.25 is a big price on its last run stuck out wide 27s and shrinking

I wouldn't cross the road to watch some of those handicaps in the higher class. But good opportunity for the layers though.
|
|
By:
what a screamer from Oisin. 5.2 last night.
|
|
By:
Plenty talking on here nonsense as per. Just the 3 well backed winners from a handful of races thus far. Really "good opportunity" for the layers lol

123 at lingers.....all well found. Like I said, plenty talking complete nonsense on here. I backed Dingle but I accept my losers and don't go blaming this and that because I didn't win.
