Weekend Racing

[MrMcGoldrick]

Nice call with Templehills yesterday isty, going to try to emulate you today, outlandish maybe but Reve de Sivola takes a big drop in class today in the 2.50 at Exeter, still carrying top weight, and no youngster, but Lizzie Kelly takes 5lb off and has over a 20% strike rate at the track, have got a little bit on ew at 18/1, hope to see his grinding style at least good enough to make the frame

I've backed that as well MrM Her claim should be down to 3 lbs after today too as I expect Tea For Two to beat Alary!

I also couldn't resist a bet on Don Poli

This is where BOG is so valuable, I backed Templehills at 13/2 !

I have few rules when it comes to betting but I never ever, and I mean never ever, bet on qualifiers.
First 6 qualify and unless you are hovering somehwere out of the likely cut off point I can't believe they're all triers.
I wish you well on Reve Gents but it's not a race for me.

Only interest for me today is Minella Rocco 4 places

Ista - I hope you backed PC today.

Don't !
I don't do Sunday racing unless it's a major Irish card so didn't even look at Exeter, he's picked up some nice prize money but will see his mark rise to 157 now which is probably enough to stop him at Aintree.
Gutted on both counts....

[MrMcGoldrick]

I see 365 are offering 33/1 for Minella Rocco to win today then the GC, 40's for Don Poli, 50's for Sizing John

[Istabraq]

Minella Rocco drifting like a barge all day on betfair....

[MrMcGoldrick]

That 50's from half an hour ago looks big now

So what do we take Cue Card and Yanworth on with ?

Nothing. We put them in a double, load up the wheel barrow and shout goonyagoodthing.


I actually really like sceau royal and 4/1 is a fair price. Will hold off

[MrMcGoldrick]

This National trial looks like a decent race, quite fancy a couple, Vieux lion rouge won the Becher and the form looks to have worked out pretty well, the fourth horse chased home Champagne West in the Thyestes, and the fifth won a nice race at Warwick, has been kept back to protect his mark for the biggie, decent ew price.
The other one is Vintage Cloud, appears to have a good racing weight and an interesting jockey booking, stable jock is on Wakanda, might throw that one into a tri cast

[Faugheen_Machine]

I like Chtibello today. I'm not convinced by Yanworth so will have a small bet on Chtibello.

Mainly a day for watching rather than betting for me.

[Istabraq]

[MrMcGoldrick]

Had a few quid on Bachasson at Gowran, last minute thing, just watched the race and he was excellent, really got his jumping together, just got in a bit tight to one but other than that he was foot perfect, worth keeping an eye on for the spring meetings

[mayo]

A small bet today on supasundae - that supreme form and favourite may bounce
