Last dabble of the day in the lucky last at Kempton - Draytonian looks to be on a decent mark for handicap debut and can send Dicke, dear old Pip Hobbs and the Whateleys home happy.
Paddy Power Chase is a minefield for punters.I think Rossvoss could run well for Ted 'Straight As An Arrow' Walsh.Was impressed with his last run at Navan and looks to be on a decent mark.Will have a small saver on Gallant Oscar. It came to pass to score at Limerick
Sprinter Sacre is still knowhere near his old self, but he still might be good enough to prevail at Cheltenham. I think today he proved that he isn't just a bridle horse, and can battle if required. He did beat a former Champion Chaser aswell today, who had just won the Tingle Creek, so the form is probably still pretty good. Un De Sceaux will be the one to beat, but he proved again today that he's no certainty. I do think he is better left handed, but even in last years Arkle he crashed through many fences, so he's gonna have to sharpen up on his jumping if he's going to win
Booom-took 4s;load of late money.Culloty winners are rare enough these days,not a big fan after he jocked Davy on Lord Windy but always nice to see the smaller yards having a winner. Small wager on Draytonian in the lucky last 9/2
all being equal not a bad Christmas for the 606's. My personal profit came from Cue Card and Stoke at a healthy 5/2 beating United bringing home a nice 4 team accu. Some good pointers for Cheltenham, now just a mere 10 weeks away, Eager anticipation. Happy New Year to all
Been a tough couple days for punters overall so well done on the winners today lads.Vaniteux last jump cost me a nice double with Sprinter.For me the last couple days racing has told us (A)Faugheen/Douvan stand up and they win in March (B) Vatour will hose up in the RyanAir,with DP/SDC & Djackadam Gold Cup bound surely Willie will go this route(C)UDS jumping is a liabilty and wont be going in my Willie Wonka accumalator in March!
Just worked it out Ste, Vaniteux cost me €400 on my patent. Can't grumble though, very good last few days for me racing-wise and back in the bosom of my family. Re Chelts just done a yankee on Min, Douvan, Faugheen, Annie
I cant back Annie after what she did to me Oddy.I still wake up in cold sweats during the night shouting 'Annie you bitch i'll have you!',freaks the missus out no end and I get relegated to the sofa for the rest of the night.
that's why I do the yankees rather than straight accas. Had Douvan, UDS, Faugheen and Annie in a €10 win yankee last year. If she'd stood up I'd have cleared nearly 2 grand but at least I got about 300 back for the 3 winners
They reckon fanny falling saved the bookies over fifty million,unreal,doubt we will ever see something like that again.I remember after she fell I asked the boss If I could take the rest of the day off,couldnt fkin work after that.Like you Oddy would have been due two grand
