Up The Cats,

My mate thinks he should win and has the ability too win, HOWEVER the person who rides him everyday has told my mate, that he's an absolute monkey.

So Verdant is a tricky customer, should win (has the ability too) but I wouldnt be staking large amounts at prohibitive odds. So its hard to give a definitive answer really.

In other news Confront has been working very well at home and at 10/3 bp.... I've had a decent-ish bet e/w

Confront was disappointing but Verdant appears to have answered some questions. Managed to watch some of the Sandown races whilst at Doncaster and backed Verdant which made up for a pretty average day at Doncaster where I backed only two winners and lost one of those in the stewards room.

Done a Lucky 15 today ...

Worthy winner and a well judged race from Queally.

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 03, 2010 2:44 pm  

Thought Queally got that spot on.

Saints penalty first scoring play @ 15/2 well worth a bet

St Helens +4 @ 10/11 for me in what should be an entertaining affair at Headingley.

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 03, 2010 4:57 pm  

Hate days like today, racing is so frustrating at times!

Still struggling to understand how badly Hanoverian Baron run? Would love to see an explanation from trainer or jockey as to why the run was so poor.

What makes things more difficult to take is the fact that I backed Dangerous Midge in the race when I was at York which Hanoverian Baron won! Dangerous Midge was well beaten and about 15 lengths behind the winner that day and has finished nearly the same distance in front today.

So what explains nearly a 30 length turnaround in such a short space of time?

Saints lose by 4 ... Can't help feeling a touch hard done by with this one. I know injuries are part and parcel of the game but to lose one half back in the first half and the other early in the second after he had just helped establish an 8 point lead is tough.

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 03, 2010 6:42 pm  

Hanoverian Baron stumbled badly up the backstraight I think - the old adage "they're not machines" is to be used in this instance.

Backed Reve De Nuit myself who's looked a 12f horse in all his starts this season, just needs a stronger jockey than Declan Cannon riding him IMO.

Had the 1m handicap at Sandown whittled down to 3 runners - Coasting, Dunn'o and Black Spirit. Backed Coasting in the end going against one of my rules of if I can get it down to a certain number of runners and only have one bet make sure it's the biggest price. Coasting was 10/1, Dunn'o 14/1 and Black Spirit 33/1.

1st Black Spirit
2nd Acrostic
3rd Dunn'o

Midfield - Coasting

Carlisle 20:25 Billy Dane 12/1 E/W

Reckon this could have a chance jockey takes 7lbs off its going over 7f after leading a few races with 1f to go but not making it over the mile.
