The £10k Betting Experiment (Stage 1) - FINISHED

Danadana wins so a little profit there of £50. Better than a kick in the proverbials.

 

PS Phew, only won by a head.

 

Dawn Approach now 2/1 on. My 4/5 is looking good value. Just hope he wins like an odds on shot.

 

Nice betting Ron

 

Well done DA. £400 profit. That's it for the day

Balance:

Plan A. Betting Bank £15,455: Piggy Bank £0
Plan B. Betting Bank £9,880: Piggy Bank £5,575

 

Thanks fellas. Nice to have a good day.

 

Some 2yos I'll be looking at later in the week. All risky given the number of runners and newcomers/once-raced but might be an ew shot there somewhere.

On Friday
at Newmarket 14.10 Annie's Fortune, a Montjeux filly. 5th of 12 on début when ridden by Fallon who takes the ride again.

And on Saturday
at Doncaster 14.40 Open Letter, a New Approach filly who finished 6th just behind Annie's Fortune on début.
at Newcastle 18.45 Momalorka, Duth Art filly 5th of 15 on début
at Newmarket 13.45 Club House , Marju colt, 5th of 11 on début to Mister Marc (2nd to Dawn Approach today) and Jontleman, Whipper colt 5th of 13 on début

Will take a closer look on the evening prior to racing.

 

With 2 bookies offering 5/1 Jungle Beat in the 16.30 Newmarket tomorrow, I think it's worth risking £100ew. Can't see the price getting any higher and I expect him to finish in the first 3.

 

Annie's Fortune is in the 13.40, not as stated. But, with 8 of the 10 runners making their début, I'll give her a miss at 7/1.

 

No not tonight Oddy. Reasons just posted on the DT.

 

15:45 ASCOT, 23 JUN 2012
Diamond Jubilee Stakes

Black Caviar £900 win at 4/9 (general) - missed the 1/2

 

Just what I feared. Backed into 4/1 on the day but just before the off it shot out to 6/1 with the fav hardening to 13/8. Fav won like a good'un but Jungle Beat ran a stinker and was presumably expected. Don't know what caused that sudden loss of confidence. The advantage of betting just before the off I suppose but can't have it all ways.

£200 loss there and never any hope.

 

Jungle Beat will have his day I think. He wants much better ground and a strong pace to run at.

 

Balance:

Plan A. Betting Bank £15,255: Piggy Bank £0
Plan B. Betting Bank £9,680: Piggy Bank £5,575

With £900 to come out of the betting bank if BC doesn't win

 

Salisbury tomorrow. Just putting markers for 2 youngsters to look at later (no prices available at present). Would want at least 5/1 the pair.

14.00 Jontleman
14.30 Momalorka

 

Just checked the odds: Jontleman best priced 11/4, Momalorka best priced 3/1.

Will have to let these go.

 

Glad I left them alone. 4th and 2nd, both at 5/2.
