    Good morning everyone.

    Many experts are joining the forum and providing plenty of winners. I don't think I've seen any other after-606 board to tip so many winners! Well done... You know who you are! lol

    Here are my selections for today. Some good prices found on Betfair but nothing to get serious with.

    All at CHANTILLY (FR) with some decent group races.

    2.50 Perfect Tribute 1pt win
    3.25 Poet 1pt win
    4.00 Inxile 1pt win
    + 0.5pt ew treble

    All @ 4/1 or bigger on Betfair.

    Horrible day's racing. As some will know, I love a long, hard slog of a race. For some reason, probably luck, I've managed over time to find a nice priced runner, who put in a good run. Kilbeggan is the place today. In the 17.30, the top one Guts For garters will take some holding out, but he's not much of a price has a heap of weight to carry, so I've settled for the Paul Carberry mount Kells Castle at a double each way quote.

    Kilbeggan.

    17.30 Kells Castle. Each way.

    P.S. Thanks for the DT STB. <cheers>

    Morning all, my two Epsom picks yesterday were atrocious so here's one for all Not606ers to draw a line through. I'm hoping its a damage limitation bet as I've went each on it with BET365 who are paying first 4 on the French Derby.

    Chantilly 14.08 Roderic O'Connor 5/1 (e/w)

    In very simple terms Roddy has never finished out of the first four in his life so I'M hoping he's not going to start today when I've first backed him <laugh> This son of Galileo is sure to appreciate the step up in trip and won the Irish Guineas like a horse who is sure to stay 10f. He's consistent, tough and should have a potent turn of foot when they start the sprint for home like they do in these French races. A fair few unexposed, unbeaten French creatures (including ones who have beaten Pour Moi <yikes>) but I'm hoping Roddy's good enough to mix it over this longer trip.

    Interestingly O'Brien has never won the French Derby before just like Andre Fabre had never won the English Derby, until yesterday. Here's hoping!

    Tin Horse in the French Derby has to be hard to beat again. Each way me thinks.

    If Baraan wins today it will look so obvious with hindsight. He won comfortably over this distance last time out with Pour Moi (at 12/1 no less) behind in 3rd. On the other hand, if he runs unplaced how will that reflect on the derby form?

    It looks like a good race and I'm going to take a chance that Baraan upholds the Derby form. At 5/1, freely available at present, he has to be a decent ew bet. Crackerjack King for a place.

    I like the look of Peinture Abstraite in the Sandringham (purely on breeding, unbeaten, unexposed) 6/1 with Ladbrokes & WH. A hopeful ew bet.

    I managed to claw back with a lump bet on Inxile to place. About 5pts to place only.

    Usually very tough on Sundays...

    STB ATR tend to put the results up quicker i find.Even the SPL are not putting up results,bad really because its the only good racing around today. Well off to the local track / casino to put some money down on the horses at Woodbine and then back home to watch them on tv.

    Good luck! I can't believe I actually made £11 (1.1pt) profit today lol.

    That £11 is going EW on Cyc selection. You're champion for a reason. lol No pressure!

    STB, sorry about Kells, as you probably know, it went like a busted arse. I guess I used all my luck in Ron's comp. <laugh>

    Not to worry Cyc just a fun bet with the profit anyway. lol

    As I mentioned before all about long term profit. Horses are quirky animals and sometimes they just don't turn up but I know in the long run my selections and many on here including yours do well.
