Giant Sequoia in the apprentice race. Very eyecatching last time and this is much weaker. Rev forecast with Goldmadchen.
Thought giant sequoia would have gone better the other day nass but i will have to have a squint at the race now
I believe the jockey reported that the horse had more to give and was denied a clear run. Hoping they go a good pace tomorrow and she can bring him through the field with a clear run. I see money has come for the other one, not surprising given the jockey and the horses form in this race previously.
Evening, Nass. A few observations... 1) the word 'app' in a race-name now very rarely means apprentice, and is more likely to refer to one of those ipad/smartphone application things. 2) your readers would admire you even more than they already do, if you put a venue and time alongside your selections. 3) a r/f featuring Simon and Serena in an amateurs' race is likely to win you buttons. No serious quarrel with the selections themselves, although it would be my view that Miss Macchiato's latest Southwell run is probably the best single piece of recent form in the race. 4) do you share my view that, to make money on the AW, you need to confine 80% of your bets to Southwell ? I really regard Wolves as a punters' graveyard: the track never seems to run twice alike, it appears to be the plot-course of choice for the most devious/degenerate trainers, and all the significant market moves happen in the 90 seconds immediately before the off. Stay away from it, I say. Did I see that you'd moved house recently ? Was it connected to a change of job ? If so, good luck with both.
Good evening sir, What is time in these days of internet betting. The dedicated followers should know where the horses are likely to be running!! I was happy with the prices of the two earlier but the punt on mssr Walker is likely to hit the forecast bet. Couldn't believe it was double figures. Not a fan of Miss Macchiato to be honest and in apprentice races the front runners often get hassled for the lead. I think she has one pace and others are better handicapped. In terms of the AW, I have no doubt that Southwell is a major hindrance to bookmakers and I think you often see punts being landed. I think it's a course where horses seldom get unlucky in running, which is very different to the other traditional AW tracks at Kempton and Lingfield. I quite like the racing at Wolverhampton to be honest, I think horses get better runs than they do elsewhere and they can come down the middle of the track too. Similar to Chelmsford really. The one I can't figure out is Newcastle where you rarely see horses retain their lead in the last couple of furlongs, even if they've travelled much the best. I think that's because of the length of the straight. Yeah, moved for a new job, all going well and settled in really nicely. Can't grumble at the minute and we've got a little one on the way too. Life's going to change a lot!!
Kind of you to ask - the engine's OK, but the chassis's getting rusty and rattles a lot. Perhaps I'm over-harsh about Wolves - it's just that whenever Simon Mapletoft puts on his Really Sincere face and murmurs that the market there 'can be volatile' (sic) just after someone (Don ? Conor ?) has pulled a particularly outrageous stroke, my eyeballs tend to fill with blood. I agree about Ncas, and I'm simply going to wait and see how it settles down in the next couple of winters. A lot of Fahey horses seem to get beaten there after travelling well up to about 300 yards out. Best wishes with the happy event. It might add to the gaiety of nations if you ran a racing competition in the last three weeks or so before the due date, and let the winner name the baby.
The MPR crew are punting their one in the Carlisle bumper I see. Flemenskill out of Flemensfirth and Nivalf. Greatrex training too which is no harm as he usually has them ready if their good enough. No bet for me yet but if I return to home soil in time and the price is OK I will possibly back him when I can access my accounts.
Feel the same way about Kempton too; think all synthetic tracks are a punter's nightmare. "the engine's OK, but the chassis's getting rusty and rattles a lot." Glad to hear you're doing OK, Rainer. Had my ticker checked (first time ever I think) at a heart establishment down here only last week. What a game that is, anyway the young professor was very satisfied with the old pump, but, as you say, the chassis is very rusty indeed. Got to go, the cat is yelling for her morning 'Dreamy' treats...........
