Racing today comes from Ayr and Southwell. With just the two meetings, it might be a bit easier to spot a winner. It often seems to me that the more cards on a given day, the harder it is to sort it all out. I love both Ayr and Southwell, so this is a big day for me. Add to that the rain affected going at Ayr, toss in a few staying events and all all is well in my back yard. The 13:05 looks nailed on for the 1-5 chance Edge Of Town. He won a Novice by panels of fencing and is expected to win again, but I think Double Default has a chance. He ran a nice 5th in the 4 mile Scottish Borders National, a much better class of race. Maybe worth a very small investment. The novice could make a mistake. In the 14:10 another rough old slog, I thought I'd go right out on a limb and select the despised outsider Blazing Diva who probably needed her two runs in. Loves to get over some ground so might surprise at cricket score odds. Every chance that both of these selections will go like busted arses though. I'll take a punt and nap the first one to roll the 5s on shot. AYR. Racing Abandoned. 13:05 Double Default. cyc. SOUTHWELL. He was a wise man who invented beer. Plato.
Have had a go at a trixie today all at Ayr 1.35 Sammy Spiderman 15/2 2.10 Nevis de Beaumont 8/1 2.40 papamoa 9/2 Quite a few non runners since I put my bet on last night even tho majority aren't fancied in the betting not sure how they will effect payout if I am sucessful with bookies rulings but ill worry bout that if my runners do the business all have now shortened bit non runners obviously having an effect . Gl all who's having a go I've gone with plodders with proven heavy ground form as Ayr is going to be a real test
Morning, As mentioned yesterday, I have had a look at the 3.00 and like Clear Ice who was a nice EW price last night. Its on the blog if anyone is interested.
Hello, all. Hope everyone well and had a good Christmas. Meanwhile now that we have been handed ‘the keys’ to old 2012 may I wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Nothing for me today though although I must admit that the card up at old Ayr is better than it first appears. Meanwhile, please no-one back Dandino for Cheltenham or any other NH heat come to that. Several rogue bookie chappies are still quoting him but he has left Mr Henderson’s care and will now revert to racing on the old level. Oh and my old fave, Barbers Shop, is deffo definitely going hunter chasing and will be out in that discipline in the not to distant future! Crickey, what an hour Mr Henderson could have in 73 days hence – Long Run in the CGC followed swiftly by Barbers Shop in the Foxhunters. Tally-ho, say I...
This morn Pricewise has put up Captain Chris for the CGC then at 20/1. Unsurprisingly, almost all those bookie chappies have cut Pip Hobbs’ horse who is now as low as 14/1 (best price 16/1).
Good morning gents... Not a lot to go at today but as im feeling like i had a tongue transplant from last nights drinking it might be a good thing... Will take a look at the cards but it may well be a no bet day... Back in a bit...
Morning Cyc... Looking forward to our battle at the weeked. So i will try and not to show any tactics to my betting for the rest of the week... Which basically means i wont hit a thing till sat...!!!! Which is a more true to form from me...!!! Cheers to you Ron for doing the tables as well...
Not a problem Red. I'm sort of up in the air about the weekend mate. In the first leg, I tried all short priced horses and Wooly hit a 9-2 shot to put me in the hole. So in the second leg I had to chase horses at about 5s or longer. I got lucky. Don't know what I'll do on Saturday. Anyways, best of luck Red.
Love to own a horse like Punching. From a very quick count, he's been around Southwell about 25 times and only been unplaced on about 6 occasions. Should collect more cash for his owners again to day.
Happy New Year to you all. Lucky 31 for me today on the remaining races @ Southwell. Selection8/1 - Clear Ice 15:00 Southwell Selection9/2 - Avalon Bay 13:25 Southwell Selection11/10 - On The Cusp 13:55 Southwell Selectionevens - Hada Men 14:25 Southwell Selection5/2 - Russian Bullet 15:30 Southwell
