*****The Shrewdies Team Tipster Thread 2023*****

Good luck OTH. I like your angle into the race.

Fantastic stuff dealer pleased for you

Watched the race back on a replay and shes done that well

Must be fun owning a horse but esp on days like that

And great stuff to the winners for the team as well

4.15 Aintree - Gold Cup Bailly (E/W)

Back up in trip & back in England also still looks
on a decent mark (136),won @Ayr 3M off that and was
a good 2nd (140) same C&D the run after that.
Probably be up with the pace.Gets into a good rhythm
can see this running a a big race today.
   GL ALL

What are we all going for in the National, lads? I like the Big Dog, along with Le Milos and Our Power. And one at very big price Sam Brown. That run over hurdles might have sweetened him up and and he'll love conditions

Gone for Home By The Lee in the stayers race. Flat track & soft going will really suit. Would have been a lot closer at Cheltenham but for a mistake and being denied a clear run at a crucial part of the race.

Been backing  A/Post Lifetime Ambition & @60-65s on here for a decent
amount.
By the way Gold Cup Bailly runs off (143) today NOT (136).

Very interesting Penznace. If he stays the trip and gets a bit of luck in running, I can see him being thereabouts. Good luck!

I only had 1 bet on the National until 5 minutes ago

2 nice selections there

sitting in 2nd place after 3 rounds, not bad
wd the points scorers

hopefully we can keep the winners coming for the next round.

WP, didn't have the forecast, unfortunately,

Agree with you OTH. We're in a good shape even though some of us are yet to hit form, myself included. Good luck this week lads!

3.10 Windsor Fairbanks (Win)
   GL ALL

Stunned to find the handicapper has stuck us up 8lb for that Redcar win. Seems very harsh considering the conditions that day.

Rays The One - 2:15 Fontwell  5pts EW
Dropped back down the handicap, 2lbs higher mark than last win (over C&D - Dec 2022)
If he doesn’t get his head in front today I reckon he should be good for at least a place (currently 9/1)

1.50 Ayr Ned Tanner. On my way there no time for an explanation.

chewy11's is a non-runner.

Just to confirm Saturday non-runner rules, it needs replacing before the race time or pts will go all in on the fav same race.

Thank you.

Copy and Pasted, I have put this in the right place too!

2.15 Sand Moroder Has had a light campaign & kept on well for a win LTO. Has won over further, goes on any ground (God knows what we'll get there today). Double figure price will do for me.

There's no two ways about it....it's been a tough slog for the team this round! I'll be looking for one at a price today. GL with that one Chewy, he's just the sort of price winner we need.

I couldn’t find any double figured priced runners I would be confident about, but I reckon we should get a good run out of Cap Du Mathan - 3:25 Sandown, but is only priced about 5/1, which will, hopefully, add to the big priced winner that I am sure one of you will come up with

Good Luck all

GL Onthehoy. Hopefully one of us can repay the faith you have in us Looking at one at 33s. Seeing O'Meara getting a winner in the first at Haydock is an encouraging sign for my selection. The yard has been in poor form of late so maybe they've turned the corner today?

UL Chewy ran a great race.

I've gone for Orbaan in the 3.45 Haydock. It looked as if David had found the key to this horse last season and he ran a string of fine races, including 2 very unlucky races at York & Goodwood. David, certainly does well with these old boys and I wouldn't put it pass him if he puts a win in listed race on the board before the end of the season. The horse needs a decent pace and he should get that with Biggles & Gweedore taking them along. It could be the horse needs a few races to put him spot on? But at the prices he's worth chancing in what is a really competitive race

Missed your last post The Dealer. I think the handicapper was probably about right. She just ran into one on a roll last time out. She's been edged up another lb I see but I'd say she's still on as mark she can win off. GL

I was going to put up Accidental Agent - 3:00 Newmarket, but I see SontaranStratagem has picked one for that race, so I will go for my only other selection today:

Mutanaaseq - 8:25 Newcastle 5pts EW

Ran well,SS,a few points on the board,at least
GL,onthehoy.

Good luck this week, will post one tomorrow

Yes WP looks like she was. Out Sunday at Hamilton if it rains, we might make the bronze cup yet lol

2.50 Newm Celcius ew Goes very well fresh won at the course. Hopefully the rain stays away although he has won on soft.

Good day lads. What's everyone backing for the 2000gns? It looks as if Adian has yet another very strong hand in the race. Chaldean should be there about's at the finish and I'm planning on backing Noble Style in running if I see him settle. He's not the easiest to train and he looks a bit of tricky ride but I honestly think he's the horse with the most ability in the race. It might be that 6f or even 7f will be his ideal trip but he wasn't stopping at York and it's worth finding out early in the season if he'll stay the mile or not.

The big sprint on the card looks as competitive as a race as you can get. Any horse that needs a strong pace to aim at will most certainly get that here! So I was looking at 2 old boys who love a big field and fast pace....Chairmanoftheboard and an real old favourite in Summerghand fit the bill perfectly. They will of course need plenty of luck in running.

Over at Goodwood, I notebooked Quantum Impact after his win at Newbury on his final 2yo start. In my notes I wrote that he probably didn't really enjoy the heavy going but his likable way of racing and the touch of class he has got him through it. I think he could turn out better than an handicapper. Today will tell us more.

Btw, it good to see Totnes win at Lingers the other day. Nothing went right for he but she still won with plenty in hand. It was only a class 5 but I really do believe she'll be listed class by the end of the season. Good luck today lads. And especially to the The dealer with his tough, soft ground loving mare. I hope she gets another rise in the handicapper after Sunday!

chewy's is a non runner, you can replace up to 2.50 or money goes on fav.

OK thanks UD

Sorry Chewy! I didn't fancy the fav so I picked something for you. Of course I backed Chairmanoftheboard....I hope you had plenty on Probe

We only need about 6 decent priced winners to challenge the leaders!!
fingers crossed this the first of them

Arthurs Quay - 1:45 Worcester  5pts EW

Good Luck All

Boom

More points.
  wd
   GL

nice one chavman, a much needed winner!!

I am confident we will rack up the points now, so I'll back all the remaining picks

WD chav

Gone for Wagga Wagga 5.15 Lingfield

Good luck all.

3.15 Hay Get Back Fet Back 5 EW  Just got touched off LTO. If  he can jump a bit better I can him goimg close at a decent price.

chewy11, thank you for your post on the selections thread and your understanding. Sometimes some rules may seem a bit petty but there is usually sound logic behind them, most importantly I try to be consistent with them.

Montelusa 230 Nott for me today cheers lads

2.40 Ascot - Tylos E/W.
When he won @Leicester LTO could well have been the only
horse to properly act on the going in fairness.Gone up 7LB
but Fisher takes off 5LB of that.The 2nd,Gorak was 2nd in
a 7F H'cap @Chester this week (82) btn 2Ls,didn't do the form
much harm.Drawn 19 today,can see this running a big race.

Thanks for remembering us this week Swad Good winner, well done Sir!

wd swad

Yeo sorry for the 2 missing selections.

WD swads

Gone for Atrium 4.10 Newbury

nice one ItsMeSwaddle, a much needed winner for The Shrewdies

Going for a runner currently at around 12/1 as I reckon he should be on for a first 3 finish dropping down in grade today
Harry D’alene - 5:35 Uttoxeter 5pts EW

Good afternoon team. Hopefully Swad's winner can inspire us all today. Yet to put a winner on the board myself (posted a wildcard winner) I'm having a number of bets today but pinpointing a winner for the team is always the tricky part. Looks a solid selection that one The Dealer. I like Outbreak in that race too.
I rarely look at a jumps card once the Flat season is underway but good luck with that one OTH.

Good luck with all your bets today lads!

Swad put up a tidy winner in the Twitter tipping comp today.... Well done mate!

I will put up Mutanaaseq - 5:12 Catterick today

finally had a trouble free run lto over C&D when ¾ lengths 2nd of 9 following on from 2 decent efforts in which he was denied a clear run in both, so, hoping for another trouble free run today
current odds 7/1 so I’ll go for 5pts EW

wd
   GL

Got a clear run today OTH. Well done Sir!

Whip wow sorry I was out for the weekend and picked 2 horses I knew…sad really but that was just a guess

Today I am in at York with Korker, self explanatory should of maybe win lto cd

Metal Merchant was 3rd LTO off this mark btn just over 2Ls.
The 2nd Dark Thirty won a 7F H'cap @York the run after & the
wnr that day Saxon King is near the top of the mkt currently
in the 4.25 York today.Was last of 7 on his reappearance @Kemp'&
in that race was todays top weight Killybegs Warrior who was 2Ls
in front of him.Metal Merchant's 12LB better in with that today.
The fav,Covey's won well on his last 2 runs(Maiden & Novice Stks),
1/16 on in the Novice race of which 2 rnrs have ran since & have both
been btn (marks of 57 & 62).Hoping the better ground today will also see
a bit of improvement in Metal Merchant as he won @Ayr (1M Gd off 76) last
season.Around 20/1 got a good E/W shout in this today.
   GL ALL

Good luck today Pen & Swad. Korker is on the drift but that wouldn't out me off seeing as he runs his best race at this track. I've got it down it down to about half dozen but I'm pretty sweet on one at a double figure price.

I'm around Whip. Just waiting to see the time in this at haydock

GF at Haydock 1st race 13 seconds slow 2nd 9 seconds. Utter nonsense.

Ok Chewy. Good luck with your selection. Just put one up at Goodwood....the winner got first run on mine.

Yeah, the course has been over watered as per usual at Haydock

3.40 Curragh Quar Shamar ew

Got the EW money! Well done Penzance

Penzance carries on where he left off with a tidy winner in Ireland. Thanks Pen, good work Sir.

We'll need 2 winning rounds to have any chance of winning the title. Show 'em what you can do lads!

Disgusting numbers again for me personally

I couldnt pick my nose

The good lads in the team keeping us in it so well done lads

boom

Oh yes! Chav's got his snout in the winners trough now! Let hope the rest of us can join him. I hear you Sont. I'm hardly setting the world on fire myself with just a sole Wildcard winner to me name.  But this is our time...this is when we both hit form with a vengeance! Good luck team!

Not around this weekend, hoping for a good 2 days at the races. I've got the Derby down to 2 horses. Had some bits on Passenger in the Ante post market and a saver on Arrest. I will be going in again on Passenger at the course. Loved his debut win and he comes out of the Dante with lots of credit. I think that race might have taught him more than if he'd got a clear run and won comfortablely (which I'm confident he would have done) He's travelled strongly in his both his races and looks a well balanced type. I get the feeling connections have always thought very highly of him and If he gets the trip? He'll win the Derby. Hopefully Swad will remember to post a selection and to be fair he's done so the last couple of weeks. I hope Chewy or OTH can post a wildcard if needed. Good luck this weekend lads

well done to the 2 winners penzance & chavman

Enjoy the racing WP 

I’m going for a short priced runner today that looks like a winner in the waiting
Princess Karine - 2:15 Carlisle
currently about 6/4 and looks good to get some more points on the board

WD all the winners, Brilliant picking this week

Nice winner there SontaranStratagem    

Good Luck for today's picks

Looks like we still have a couple more selections to come
anyone around??

If no posts near 3pm I have 2 selections I have backed I could put up

Lights Are Green - 3:30 Hexham  10pts win
Mac Suibhne - 4:05 Hexham 5pts EW

??????

Good work fellas
  wd
   GL

Great work team...not including myself! Passenger ran like I am during this comp! Special mention for Sont who broke his duck for the season with a very tidy winner. After timing I know but I backed him and another in that race. I like Bob, he looked a pro in the paddock and it just looked like he'd done a bit of work after the race. Very nice horse. I can see the owners getting some decent offers for him from here and aboard. Let's hope they decline them. Well done Sont I can see you posting another winner this week now the floodgates have opened!

And to OTH who stepped in at the last moment on Saturday to post a couple of wildcards which included a superb 14/1 winner! Thank you OTH. Well done sir! Lets bring home the win this week lads. GL

I’ll go for a short priced selection today (11/8) that looks good for getting a few more points on the board

Limerick Leader - 2:45 Southwell

7.20 Wetherby - Sophia's Starlight.(Win)
Tried to make all @Carlisle LTO (1M  off 70) ran out of it late on ,
btn just over 1L runs off the same here but Stammers claimed 3LB,he's
now lost that.Drop back to 7F tonight shouldn't be a problem & is still
lightly raced.Back against her own sex aswell in this.More than likely
will be up with the pace if her last 2 starts are anything to go by &
could be hard to peg back if leading.
  GL ALL

You called it Penzance and it panned out just as you said and she won a touch cosily. 2 from 2 for you this round Pen. Good work Sir!

been away for a week with no internet and it looks like the team is smashing it

wd penzance, here's hoping we can keep our head out in front

Good luck for the remaining picks

Wd Penz.

Gone for Little Earl 4.40 ew

Good luck everyone

With Shanelee's finely sharpened pin picking out a 33/1 winner the other day, it's very unlikely we can win the comp even with 2 winning rounds. Good luck with your bets today though lads.

Sorry I missed last week, Whippin. Well done to the winners.

2.25 Hay Live your Dream win.

No worries Chewy, OTH stepped in and banged in a tidy winner. GL today.

I think with SontaranStratagem’s placed selection yesterday and chavman’s winner today we just have our nose in front.

So no pressure WP !!

unlucky chewy11, 9/2 shot nearly got up

WP, just realised your selection had already ran when I posted

looking like only a very slim chance of hanging on to our lead

4.20 - Ascot Chaldean (Win).
Best horse in the race to me .
  GL ALL

I narrowed down my original 5 selections for today to 2 possibilities for this comp, but with a pick for The Shrewdies already made in the 2:30 Ascot and 2 other teams having gone for my selection (La Guarida) I have decided to go for

Summerghand – 5:00 Ascot  5pts EW

Good Luck All

Brilliant Monte

Oops wrong thread

GL Hoy. Feel free to pick a wildcard selection too.

where are we at with selections?? still waiting for 2??

Pick them both Hoy. I've moved House this week, not had a chance to have a proper look

ok i'll stick a couple up

posted these last minute, don't know if they will count, not sure f wildcard rules


Holguin – 3:05 Ascot  5pts EW
Seal Of Solomon – 3:17 Newmarket 10pts win


WP, hope your move is going smoothly

Global Effort – 1:45 Beverley 5pts EW

shown improved form last couple of runs, but continues to drop down the handicap
I reckon dropping down to 0-60 hcp today after last 2 outings in 0-65 could see him outrun his current odds of 9/1

Good Luck all for this weeks selections
