Some won't like backing each way at 9/2 but I'm on Brunswick Gold in the grade 3 chase at Market Rasen. Not confident like today, yesterday and earlier in the week but it's worth a little bet. Local Hero has a chance at 10/1 on the same card for the same trainer.
 
CITRUS MARK 11-1 Market Rasen 2.45 has perfect conditions tomorrow and is expected to give a very good account. His last two runs have been over too far and he now drops back to 2m 2f and has been eased a handy few pounds. He goes well on top of the ground and therefore should have no excuses.
 
Lost Legend still looks attractively weighted in the 3.45 and a double with Forresters Folly in the 4.15 is what I will play
 
Morning all bob nothing wrong with the ew if you get your money back and brunswick is now 5s in places not took a proper look at that race yet though so good luck .
Stick are you on the nose with citrus mark as I had a quick look at this race yesterday and was sort of siding with tomotara.
330 looks intresting at ayr amazing blue sky 11/8 could take this from the start but at them odds its hard to back with st Ignatius running well of late at arround 3s I may go for the r/f as I cant really see past these two .
Good luck all
 
I am on him EW cracker though I do think he will win its quite a competitive little race. The bottom one, GAINSBOROUGH'S ART even has a chance on his best form and he is 66-1.
 
I will take a a proper look before deciding as I only had 10 mins on it stick but as you say its a tight race but these are the more valuable races to get right cheers for your selection yesterday with bobs and mine the patent was a very healthy returner.
 
Never bet e/w at under 8/1 in my life, and only twice under double figures, Gathering Power in a big field sprint this season, and the Amanda Perrett filly a while ago who was unplaced and turned out to be a massive disappointment, cant remember its name.

In other news, worst Sunday racing ive ever seen in my life.

That's interesting. I know some rather large punters who back each way at 9/4 and 5/2 if the circumstance is right.

Nine times out of Ten i'll back ew no matter what the price is. The way i look at it is, i'd rather have something back even if its not a profit than nothing back at all. But saying that most horses i do back are EW shots anyway, i wouldn't usually back an horse under 5/2 or 11/4 them sort of prices any shorter and its not worth it with the sort of money i play with (very little!!)
 
Woeful racing today, Undoubtedly the best horse on show is over in France. Intello the co Arc favorite in the 2:40 at Maisons-Laffitte. Quite strange to see him running under a mile and is a pretty short price. no idea about the merits of the opposition either.
 
Sod the horse racing today. It's a packed cool box and off to the beach. Good luck with the punting.
 
Re the ew subject. I look upon it the same way as backing a horse to win. So for 1 point ew I just divide the odds by 8 (if 1/4 odds a place) and that's the odds I consider. ie 8/1 shot is equivalent to a 1/2 winner for the same stake, with an added bonus if it wins. So basically, at 8/1 it would have to be a "cert" for a place. At 4/1 I would need to be confident that it would win, with the consolation of not losing anything if it only ran into a place. Whatever anyone else does, I don't personally see any value in backing ew at lesser odds. But each to their own, as they say.

My best value today runs in 5 minutes. See you later folks.
