Good Friday's "racing"

I will be watching Escape To The Country.

Don't watch it then.

this card was much better with some conditions races on it

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

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.

Funny how its just the ARC owned racecourses that race on Good Friday.

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.

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.

Don't watch it then.

ava day off Ffs..dc

How would prize money effect punting

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..........

He lays 600/1s in maidens.

Check out his thread
Ricos lay of the day

He has a 743/1 successful lay 2day

all pretendee wendys fred.

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.

Chelmsford is not ARC

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.

newcastle COC just on sky sports racing saying how brilliant it is that a 6 runner condition race is now a 14 runner 5,s the field handicap ,not even trying to hide who,s wagging their tail

obviously by WAGGING ,i meant BUYING THEIR TAIL

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

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.

Chelmsford card is probably the best for me today. Those cards at Lingfield and Newcastle are far too hard.

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!

And there you have it in a nutshell. For years I've read books and articles that tell us to stick to the "better" races where horses are more consistent. And I have years of records to prove that that is the worst advice anybody can ever take. These races are ultra competitive. Far better to look for races with plenty of bad horses that on all known form will struggle to win. Obviously some of those will win, and you'll lose on that race when they do, but not nearly as often as you will picking the wrong one of nine or ten trained to the minute to try for their lives to win a big handicap, with all of them having shown enough to suggest that they are well capable of doing so.

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

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.

what a screamer from Oisin. 5.2 last night.

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

Plentie

Whippin making fortunes again

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.

54K posts of nothing!

WELL FOUND
the last one was found drifting out beyond the KONTIKI

A lot of crap on here again. 4 winning favs on the trot so far
No pleasing some

1st 3 in the mkt were,1st,2nd & 3rd.

Still waiting for last years P&L but you just keep yapping away.

Yes WELL FOUND. Went off fav, just eased back out slightly because of the money for Dingle

Anything from Chelmsford for us Sparrow? Still not seen you post a single selection PRE RACE

When you post that P&L picallily then I will think about it, meanwhile keep on talking.

Old rivals Shades of Summer and Aramis Grey could fight this out again in the 3.00
preference for SOS but tought enough race

gl chaps

Tremendous Performance by Wild Side , Got beat 300 YDS

The hood seem to do the trick for the winner there, NEC. I've split my stakes between Red Flyer & Aqwaam in the next at Lingers. The form of their recent races reads very well in the context of this race. Both might be a touch too high in the handicap but I think they both should be there abouts at the finish.

I hate class 2-3 handicaps, it's a lottery. I prefer Class 6.

Murphy riding at the top of his game...

Candy from a baby! Oisin on fire. Teumessius Fox next.

balding using proper jockeys again the last 3 days instead of the filler clowns

Lingers packed. How many did itv7

Prize money wonder. The best jocks will turn up and the horses are tuned up. From fourth to top of the 2024 trainers champs in 2 hours.

99% of that crowd wont have a fooking clue whtat the prize money is  or a single horses handicap mark

Bish bash bosh. 5.50 tote scum

Stew pot even had 150 on it

We are not talking about most of the crowd, great though it is to see them there. Trainers are creatures of habit and Andrew Balding has targeted this for a while.

Walofs.

Disappointed that time and McLean House probably not good enough. Two Irish trained winners in 10 minutes there, Chelmsford and Newcastle. Amo Racing look the real deal still.

Jessie Harrington this time. All they have to do is find owners willing to pay for the ferry crossing!

A dream scenario for the crookies.

205 7/2 FAV
215 10/3 FAV
225 9/4 FAV
240 10/3 FAV
250 6/4 FAV

bad 3/4 of an hour for the crookies ....

Loads hit the jackpot with there 5 horse accums

Life changing for many

U don't get life changing with 5 odds on Mullins favs in maidens
