Not talking about the betting, you were convinced Rosallion was the fastest miler around and would win this easily, take the drop back to 7 in his stride. But he was outpaced, as I suspected. He needs stepping up, not back.

Think you're right Cider.  Been in this game a long time and know that if you get a firm ground specialist that is also top class they take an awful lot of beating.  If I had to choose today I would still have picked Rosallion.  He's probably not quite as good as I thought but also likely doesn't want extremes of ground. No damage anyway.

It's not that quick, that race didn't even break standard. If he was a top class miler he should have been rocking up there on the snaff. I would like to see him in a conventional race over the longer trip. But yes his reputation goes before him and eventually the excuses run out.

You could be right. At the end of the day horses don't perform to their very best in every race. We tend to get carried away by how good a horse is. But price is everything. That's why I couldn't back  back one that I thought ( maybe wrongly ) was a great horse at a short price against such a very good 2nd fav.
Report Cider • August 23, 2025 3:56 PM BST
ha, in the early days I was very belligerent and happy to pile in on the ones I liked. I am much more conservative in horse racing nowadays. Obviously matured as everyone does, and found out I wasn't infallible. But as I've mentioned previously, I also found my calling, specials betting (and politics). Which to be honest is so much easier than horse racing, I pretty much only do this for enjoyment and nicking a few quid here or there. However I'll always bet on horse racing as I love it, but not betting in the hundreds or thousands.
Report Hayden • August 23, 2025 4:02 PM BST
we all have our ways Cider , aside from bad e/way acca's which are enforced to play early my bets are 95% of the time placed in the final 30 secs as so much goes on during the shows , can never see the point any earlier as it's missing an integral part of the market and taking prices you think will shorten ( which so often turns out not to be the case anyway ) is a small sacrifice to pay long term for missing out on the very late market activity which invariably is an eye opener.

The only player in my house prior to the final 30 secs is the BOT   Grin

Yeah it's a long learning process Cider. I was lucky because I played fairly light in the early days. I think the advice Stephen Little gives to bookmaking " Don't take too strong an opinion " also applies to backing. Secretariat got beat 4 times ( & 1 disq )

"Don't take too strong an opinion" is extremely prudent even if the selections looks cast iron eg Field Of Gold (2000G/Sussex), Lambourn (Voltigeur) and Los Angeles (Ireland) just recently. Similarly, PSG against Chelsea in football.

A cast iron bet is only when it wins.
