Ginger - Honeyball's week revolves round the mares bumper on Friday I would have thought. There's a nagging doubt that Midnight Minx may have been blunted by her injury last year. They won this race 12 months ago.
Afternoon All a couple for me today. 2.40 Wetherby Arkaim 9/2 8.00 Kempton Actonetaketwo 7/2 Singles and double
Nothing on the Honeyball ginger but I do know the Webber horse is fancied in the bumper. AP was at the yard to school Cantlow recently and I believe had a spin on this one too!
Plenty of dosh around for ROTO's selection which leads me to an interesting question re. laying horses in-running or even prior to an event. I managed to get the 16's about the horse last night and I can lay on betfair at 9.2 (effectively 8/1). At half the original odds is it worth setting up a lay to essentially establish a free bet at 8/1? Would others be more audacious and try and lay at less than this in-running? Whenever you lay a horse in-running the better odds available for laying i.e. less liability are available when the horse is going well so it almost defeats the object of laying the horse when it appears to have a good / the best chance of winning? Interested to hear peoples thoughts on laying horses previously backed at bigger prices
Cheers Boston and stick I'll take that on board plus might invest a çheeky tenner in the bumpers as well guys
Afternoon boys At the moment, just two for me so far - Danimix in the Wetherby 3-10 at 9-4 too good to miss. And in the 3-40 Cool Baranca looks set to strike, well handicapped and appears to be approaching her best form Edit: Like the look of the McCain horse in the bumper 9-1 ew although the odds-on favourite looks far and away the best here.
Montana Slim in the Ulster National 5:05 Downpatrick for me. Needs to improve his form to take this but has every chance at the weights if he is ready to fire.
Beauty Pagaent 9/4. The fav at 3.30 will take all the beating in my opinion. Dropping well down the weights plus kirby on board can only be a sign of confidence.
A close 3rd, had to get infront from the outside draw but simply wasnt good enough to hold on. Dissapointing.
3.40 Wetherby FUJIN DANCER 11/1 EW with a useful 7lb claimer on board who generally goes well, stable in good form too
BADABOOOOM!!!!! Went from looking the best 3 out to being done before the last but picked up after the jump, what a ride!
