having had the worst ascot in living memory , i'm like a dog with is tail between its legs , chastised and a little down hearted after a mauling unlike any that went before ..i sit here doubting if i can ever pick a winner again...i fancy two horses tonight at the above venue , and having watched video after video of both of their last races am sure i just might have picked up enough ammo to have a tilt at the enemy tonight ....

Words Of Wisdom was value for far more than the margin of victory in Leopardstown the last day - I think 5/1 is more than fair.

What are the two horses?
Report workrider June 22, 2011 12:08 PM BST
went to back one of them for £100 and ended up backing the horse above it ffs..Shocked

I like Rising Wind in the 8pm and think Burn The Boats 7pm e/w is the best bet on the card.

Without being accused of whining again I certainly know how you`re  feeling. Fancied Fahey/Hanagan in the 1st today. Left it. Won. 2 bets since. Nowhere. I`m sure you`ll find one before me if that`s any consolation wr.
That Catamount is very short BJG. Did you hear it`s training well?
Not a very obvious winner of an early season 6f maiden on pedigree!

It's a bad race. There is plenty of money fielding against it at 6/4 on here. I would thread very carefully with it.
Report workrider June 22, 2011 5:02 PM BST
the 2 i like tonight are...
red army blues in the first...having looked at the video over and over i think he has a great chance ..i will be backing it straight and w/o fav.... it was brought to a standstill lto and did remarkably well to finish so close to expire at navan ....if it gets a clear run i think he has the beating of that fellow...drop in trip not sure to suit i know , but the way it finished after so much trouble has sold me on its chances and at 7/1 is worth a bet  .... hoping for 5/2 3/1 w/o fav...
my other choice is hazinya which i see has touched a shade of odds on   ..i think this is an improving filly and has  more to offer than welds filly....having said that welds filly ran a cracker against banempire who endorsed the form at ascot ..good luck lads with what ye back tonight..

Hope you get a winner WR. As all seasoned investors know when you get on a bad run its very hard to break it.

i thought sapphire in the 8.00 was a big price on form at 15/8, and is now 11/4 with the fav being backed off the boards.

surprised i have to say!!

enjoy the races old man, hope u bag a few winners!

yes trade fair i like rising wind too which is why im surprised at the price of the fav and the fact its so strongly backed, i suppose ill find out after the race when it wins by 10 eased downLaugh
Report ilikewavingatbuses June 22, 2011 5:36 PM BST
the form of sappire is there for all to see, ive had a bet at 15/8 and 11/4 now. not too much given the strength of fav but it appears to have strong form claims and dont see a prob with trip or ground.

gl lads, enjoy wr.
Report TradeFair June 22, 2011 5:43 PM BST
Rising Wind at 15/8 w/o the fav is a fair bet if you're concerned about the Oxx horse.

A bit of fun TF when I get home from work.

I don't lay them at the week-ends when I am on track I punt then. Just the once recently did I lay one and it was Bewitched at the Leop a month ago. Of course she won. Cry

There is some chunk of cash traded on Catamount at 2.46-2.54. I'd have to be layer.

22k. What's the usual volume matched on a race like that on here? Was around €270k at the off.

Bad luck there BJG. At least your source was right that she could run fast.
I expected her to be staying on late, not zip along like that!
I was in the bookies for the 8 o`clock. Wrote out Sapphire and left it when I noticed it was over 5/2 on here yet only 2s on the board! Purely on principle. Thieving pri cks. Confidence not dented but shattered. Sad

Agree on murtagh Mordin and imho McD was poor on catamount left the race behind surprisingly for him as he usually is very strong in the finish.........

jay , dmcd did nothing wrong on that...gave the horse every chance , just run out of it by a stronger stayer imo...
