Not posting further selections for my RS system until I can see I've improved the win SR.

Nice price for one that showed blistering final pace to beat the rest easily.

You're right, Ron, it ain't form based. I did slightly loosen my criteria for picks today (and yesterday), otherwise I'd have had no picks at all. The original criteria is very narrow. And I haven't yet worked out whether that's necessary, except I'm getting loadsa boring losers when loosening -...

7 picks today, 3rd day of showing my new R.S. (Rather Strange) system. So far it's been 0 winners from 6, then 1 from 4. If I don't get a winner today it'll be back to the drawing board on the grounds of winner paucity. A horrible disease. L'str 3.33 Sahara View 7/2 many S'll 3.45 Either Way...

Granny B was w/d in my last race after playing up badly and refusing to go into the stalls. So just 4 selections ran. Great start when Boy Douglas stormed through near the finish to win by 3/4 length in a mile race run at a terrific lick throughout by the first 3. After 4 to 5 furlongs I was...

R.S. (Rather Strange) system day 2. Yesterday 6 selections, 3 seconds and a fourth, 6 points loss. Prices are Oddschecker bog. Where at least 3 bookies give the price, I say 'several.' Where more than 3, 'many.' Most bookies: 'generally.' Less than 3, I'll give named bookies. Ayr 3.45 Boy...

Seconditis today, the closest being Strong Impact, only beaten a nostril in a blanket finish. Without Words finished a very good second with a strong galloping finish, despite being left several lengths behind the field at the start, but I'm not sure she would have caught the winner anyway...

Hi folks. Long time no see. Posting selections for my new R.S. system. R.S. stands for 'Rather Strange', because although I know why I make the picks, I really am not sure why it has worked well over the 3 days I've tried it so far (May 28th, 29th, June 1st). And no, I have not taken any notice...

My sole pick of day is Robin Des Foret e/w 16/1 in the 4.10. Based solely on perceived market move this morning, plus fact this shorse is Mullins/Townend.

What a twat, eh.

Bryony Frost, quoted in the SL: "He A1, he's squealing and he's boisterous. He's getting extremely cocky - everything you want out of a horse that's going to go to one of the biggest tests in the racing calendar. "Cheltenham is the heartbeat of National Hunt racing, it's where the best of the...

WD. Coming up to the final hurdle , though there were loads almost in line, seemed obvious it would win, easily the strongest.

Just one pick of mine (though I'll back others): Chelt 2.50 Birchdale e/w. 18/1 in 3 places.

Just one 2nd today, Buniann in the 5.30 Newcastle. SP 11/2, advised 6/1. Looked for all the world as if it had won, stewards took 10 minutes to make their minds up and gave it to the horse which looked clearly beaten. Other excuses: Just Don't Ask in the 2.10 Market Rasen was going strongly in...
