For those that hate punting at Brighton..

If I never hear the phrase 'crossing Wilson Avenue' again in my lifetime, it will be a day too soon. Fukh that place.

i never bet there
look at card there
or watch the races there
seem to think back in the day big punters went to brighton and got on the shorties bacling 1 to 2,3 shots in to 5,s and 6,s on

I am going there today for corporate entertainment.

Card is filth, 5 class 6 and 1 class 5,  not a maiden nor novice in sight

Saffie Osbourne has 5 rides and Bet365 have shortened up all of them. No doubt fearing popular multiples going on them.

Not the best of rides from both Levey or Crowley today

I would enjoy betting at Brighton more if the people who rode there had a better grasp of how to ride the track.

I'd like to own a few and demand the jockey hugs that far rail, I'd spend all day playing with the pink.

If you were an owner swifty, you wouldn't be allowed to.
Level stakes still 1/2 pt up Horatio, so have that on your last pick and at least you'd end up level.

My wife would be, I'd be on course telling everyone on TV they're going to win. I've picked up a few things over the years.

You are right Stew...I'd definitely be down if I'd gone today as my only winner so far wasn't my strongest play. Lets see if we can nick the lucky last making the pint before the train home taste a little sweeter

Would she, from your IP address? Don't know the rule about wifes etc.

^you is avinalaff. get with it

Never been able to read it from an I/R viewpoint.

i never back at Brighton. mostly total bobbins races- a bookies heaven

not one fav came in today- says it all really

duffy, lay everything that hugs far side and you won't go far wrong. I don't mind Seb Sanders but he talks utter b0ll0x at times.

I had a theory that strong finishers win there, so worth backing those dropped in trip.

Don’t think it works on firm ground though

Agree Grayhawk. Hayley Turner was good at Brighton but these days, Saffie is as good as anyone on this course.

I was hooked years ago by backing the one eyed Belper there a few times. I remember being told to go there to back Dubawi's Dam there, she won but was like a cat on a hot tin roof. I thought I was lucky to collect and that she would be lucky to win another race. Next time out she won the Italian Oaks a Group 1 luckily there was no Betfair then or I would have laid her without a doubt.These are my main memories of Brighton after betting for well over 50 years.

Lets chance our arm again.

1912
KRANJCAR - Boughey and Cosgraves only runner/ride

1942
JAZZ SCENE
As above for both trainer and jockey and I like the trip change, also back to last winning mark.

2012
Dutching both HAWAJES and HEADSHOT.
Like the Doyle booking as Doughty rides the other.

Be lucky

Good luck Mr Nelson.

Cheers TT

Kranjcar beaten at 1.02 was a stinger,  Jazz Scene was poor, Headshot ran well enough to get 2nd at a price but all were win only, so no joy unfortunately

stands side golden highway all types of ground

joe leavy class everywhere but brighton his best track numerically & another 2 last night

Lets see If we can find a winner or two today.

Good luck all

Real difficult track to find consistent winners,had a look and my two for Brighton are,

2.15 Pop Dancer

3.45 Uncle Dick

Break a leg

You could do a lot worse than put Hollie Doyle's 4 rides in a lucky 15.

I was talking about Brighton recently and I've also given the track a permanent red card.

It's a shame as I've been going there for more years than I can remember but it's an impossible gaff to fathom out, punting wise that is.

that last winner nothing in the box over a furlong out when about 3 lengths down on my pics!

Must be a lot of horses that go there and do not run to form.

wtf was crowley doing there. he just gave up at the furlong pole

50/1 boom

Great stuff Tangle , 7 x CD winner   

Well done tanglefoot.  Nice price.

Thx,but this course is still a minefield

Great call Tangle...My pockets would be very roomy were I have gone today

Day rwo stabs...

I selected these last night but wont amend my picks even though one or two have drifted quite heavily.

1410
River Wharfe

1440
Miakoda

1510
Cashbox

1540
Manara

1610
Saxon Land a nr so will chance Yarborough

1643
Neptune Legend


This is the day I normally swerve, Good luck all.

Just a question horatio - if you hate the course, and your results there, why bother betting the races there?

I also used to do bad there too, but found a few of my own new angles/approaches, to play there with different trading strategies nowadays so manage to do ok with it. Do you consider not betting there, or changing in approach to races there instead?

G & J Moore could have a couple of winners. Neoma in the 3.10 might enjoy it round here.

Good luck.

or do you normally do well just backing at Brighton, and it's the Windsor and Newcastle that's the problem?

Best tip today is probably to avoid the first race.

Hi stu...I personally love punting there but am aware in the main it's not liked by many.

4 Tony Carroll runners?? Bonkers.

AS you said above stu...I tend to do well there, it's other tracks like the ones you listed that I struggle with

As*

Fair enough H. I just misunderstood your post, thought you did bad there.

The last race has 3 runners that ran yesterday!

No worries. Always liked the place since I used to go with my Dad years ago, often go with mates as well for a day on the beers.

Neptune Legend in the 4.43 track form 9/13 6/8 8/8 8/10 and 5/7.4/6 in the RP and I saw the bookies had him at 4/6 through the night now out to 9/2 will this drifter win?

If you're single you could bag yourself a tranny there today.

Might be more to do with the top 2 being 9/2 into 6/4 and 5/2 respectively?

***** in frocks day ain't my bag either swifty

Horatio, I think everybody should do it once!

That's Brighton Ladies Day by the way!

Did anyone see that lady called Josephine from Brighton on the chase the other night ,100% certain she used to be called Joseph .

Gary Moore is 69 today according to the Racing Post.

Well done with two winners yesterday. Better meetings elsewhere today so no bets here.

Having a go Nelson?

Is it heavy at Brighton ? That race ended like a 3 mile chase at Chepstow on New Year's day !

Hi barstool....nothing today although I did play Charlie Mason win only in the 1530.

No joy.

Had a snooker sesh with a mate. I am going on the 19th with pals...lets hope for a better return. Be lucky

Excuse the typos

The Town wasn't as bad as I've seen it. The main bar was closed today which I am assuming was down to the expected attendance. The attendance and atmosphere was decent..

Can't complain. Wish I'd remembered me shades

3.22 Under Curfew
4.22 Ataser

Both dropping in official ratings,so may surprise

Dr Richard Newland & J Insole have four with good chances of which I like Graduated in the 3.22 best.

Little ew double
Fen Tiger 1.50pm
Roman Spring 3.22pm

hoping there is a bit of juice in the ground

Good afternoon all.

Today my darts have landed on a couple of longuns and one i think should have won last time out when I attended the meet.

IREZUMI in the 13:52. Ran well last time and let me down for an on the day five fold, bit no complaints as was beaten fair and square. Different ground to day from what it was on the 19th. Only hopeful in a tricky little race.

MY BOY HARRY in the 15:22. Priced longer than I thought he would be but has course form and that can often count for a lot. Definitely wants 6f rather than 5f...Only hopeful due to the possible ground change but will chance my arm at the prices.

OTAGO in the 16:22. Brighton regular who seems completely out of form but one of those types that could pop up with a return to this track. Could be 30 lengths last or win going away, I'll again chance my arm at the prices as course form always seem to count more than current form around Brighton.

Be lucky all.

No blame at all but I believe both my jocks so far have a Gold card at the local Toby Carvery

Some days the darts land.....most they don't. Apologies...poor selections today.

Lets have another bash....yesterdays longuns ran like just that.

14:15
Chancing Jacquelina with the worthy fav carrying 10st...The rain should make it a stiff test and as they say weight stops trains.

14:45
London Is Blue will hopefully go in again.

15:15
Will chance Green Dame, the only horse in the race that has run with the word soft in the previous going conditions. Like the trainer.

15:50
Kranjcar has course form and as above, fan of the trainer. Small cover bet on Mary Of Modena.

16:20
Voix De Bocelli has gone low i/r in a couple of his last runs...Hopeful today is a going day.

16:52
Will play both of Tony Carrolls here, not to even stakes but price dependant.

17:22
Toussarok for me in the getting out stakes.


Best of luck all.

Good call with Kranjar,,liked  Voix De Bocelli,but bet 365 offering boost,so that could be a negative,other in race Racing Demon,jockey Morris doesn’t ride track often.

Morris's arm / shoulder seems to be getting higher and higher, absolutely no idea how he is getting away with that ....

Cannot believe how badly You are everything ran.

Thanks tangle....a shame Green Dame didn't quite hang on but no complaints so far. It's a tough old game

3 each way stabs for me tomorrow at prices. The weather will no doubt play a part so will possibly play again tomorrow depending on price movement.
I have only played an each way Patent so far.


14:12 Kessaar Power 20/1

15:42 Irezumi 14/1

17:12 Jacquelina 7/1

Hopefully enjoy a rainy Monday. Be lucky.

leavy with a good book of rides at his best track

when luke morris rides I double I lose

*a double

Placepot paid £3,738.20.

There were 14.66 lucky dip successful lines so well done if anyone on here got a piece of the action.

just lay the favs ....simples

Disappointing runs there especially post getting the price on Irezumi....however no complaints. Hope whoever did well on a tricky day chopped it right off.

I think I may attend tomorrow and have a bash. I fancy Levy to have a good day so fingers crossed. Already placed an each way super heinz in the hope i'm right.

Desert Beauty in the 1640 will be my main play.

Be lucky all

There's a Sean Levey and a Joe Leavy there tomorrow
I'm guessing you mean the former?

Apologies, Levey.....excuse the typo

The super heinz must be a 100 grand plus to a quid?

Leavy does only have 4 rides so a super heinz would have been quite an error Reg....My bad however

Yes....It returns the max payout so I have no doubt over staked....I do not expect him to win every race mind

Horatio, good luck anyway, this time tomorrow, Rodney etc...

...by the looks of the drift on all of Leveys rides I'd say i'll still be down the market flogging Romanian wine tomorrow Reg

1.45 Liricist has a win at 66/1 possible dark horse,otherwise the top two in market interesting that J.Watson takes the ride on Fai Fai could be telling.

2.55 October Surprise,it’s October

3.30 O J Lifestyle,although my fav horse Uncle Duck is-in the shadows,but out in the weights.

4.40 another G&J Moore horse Bated Breeze,of interest JF Egan takes the ride on King Of War

Gl

Best of luck tangle

Lovely call on OJ tangle.....Moore gave him a decent shout prior to the August "festival" so it should have been on my radar...Well done

Thx,gl with Deserve Beauty

RIP Uncle D,sad

Was there in August when Uncle won ,the crowd gave him a good reception.

Should this arrive 4 times please forgive me....I've typed it out but it hasn't posted for whatever reason.

The news on Uncle Dick is incredibly sad. A cracking little horse for the track. Connections must be broken and he and they deserved better.

Miles aside and far less important I missed the cows botty with a massive banjo.

It happens. Ya win, Ya lose as they say. The only positeve was I didn't attend!

Already looking forward to next season.

positive*

HoratioNelson nice words,forward to next season.
