Champion Day (Tuesday, Day 1) 2019

Ok, he might beat 6 or 7 home. Agree to disagree. Different opinions is what makes punting so interesting. Good luck tomorrow.

Nothing for me to disagree with, you agreed with me. :p


Some bookies will price up the head-to-head between the two (Al Dancer and Angel's Breath) ... might be of interest for you? Al Dancer certainly has the more solid profile.

Cheers, Kev.

I've run pretty well, by being able to get out of a fair few bad positions at no cost, thanks to 366. Will have to be much more prudent next year, now that they've closed that loophole.

I've got to sort out my a/r book, which I think has been whacked a fair bit over the last few weeks, too.

All the best, mate!

All earlier non runners are on the ante-post thread. It does look much better without them. Starting well down so probably need 4-5 decent winners to be looking at a profit on the week.

Kalashnikov 4/1

Good luck to all.

2.10 Duc De Genievres, Us And Them
2.50 Beware The Bear, Calipto
3.30 Laurina
4.10 Benie Des Dieux
4.50 Huntsmans Son, Highway One O One, Del Oro
5.50 Impulsive Star, Atlanta Abla
 
As usual, I will be doing the full analysis (warts and all) after the festival ... and I won't include ANY multiples in these daily posts. You'll just have to trust me :p

Supreme
4 pts in non runners (result!)
58.5 pts live
All 17 horses backed.
Cannot make a net loss for the race regardless of the results.

Top result is actually Mister Fisher but Aramon, Klassical Dream and Angel's Breath will all be welcome, with the latter two being my 'main selections'


Arkle
35 pts in non runners (wounded)
31 pts live
Hardline, Lalor, Slate House are profitable alone
Ornua, Clondaw Castle, Articulum would almost wipe me out
The rest are covered somewhat and would require some each way help to get above the line
Most difficult ante post position I am in, hopefully the 3 mentioned can do the business.


Ultima
3 pts non runners (Walt)
12.5 pts live
Coo Star Sivola - ew 45/1 and 40/1
Minella Rocco - ew 33/1 and 22/1
Noble Endeavor - ew 20/1
Royal Vacation - ew 33/1
Singlefarmpayment (10 places) - ew 8/1
Like some others but happy with my spot


Champion Hurdle
3.1 pts in non runners (mainly Summerville Boy who I didn't fancy anyway and some wild ones on the exchanges)
24.5 pts live
Apples Jade - ew 8/1 and 6/1
Laurina - 12/1
Buveur D'air - 11/4
Sharjah - ew 15/1
Melon - ew 22/1
Best result is Laurina in terms of a single win but not a hugely important race in terms of monies


Mares5 pts in non runners (Apple's Jade)
18.5 pts live
Benie Des Dieux - 6.5/1 (rolling from a double)
Stormy Ireland - ew 10/1 and 8/1
Limini - ew 9/1
Roksana - ew 18/1
Mia's Storm - ew 28/1
Elimay - ew 25/1
I know I wasn't including multiples, but if any of the big 3 win the CH, BDD is worth min of 60 pts

Close Bros
2.5 pts non runner (Speaker Connolly - schoolboy error!)
22.5 pts liveA Plus Tard - ew 15/2
Lough Derg Spirit - ew 22/1
Quamino - ew 20/1
Highway One O One - ew 18/1
Cubomania - ew 25/1
Walt - ew 20/1
Red Indian - ew 25/1
Militarian - ew 66/1
Definitely not my best race either... especially as I missed some prices around the favs...



Good luck all :)
 
1:30pm Klassical Dream 15/1 EW, 31/1 (Double with DRF)

Day 1
Supreme - Klassical Dream - hoping the soft weather plays into his hands
Angels Breath - bought into the idea of the flu jab effecting him a lot and he should come on a lot for that run (worried by the inexperience of jumping hurdles)

Arkle - Hardline - no real interest in the race after CE and LR are non runners but like to have a punt in most races, hoping some go out in front too fast and he is sat just off the pace

Ultima - Mister Whittaker & COO Star Sivola both taken from preview nights and managed to get decent prices

Champion Hurdle - flipped between all 3, managed to have all 3 covered, best multiple at this stage would be a BVD win

Mares - BDD - expecting a non event race, happy to let her to go past without much on her

Close brothers - Lough Derg Spirit - alrhoughing drofting a fair amount this morning, if I pick up a few free bets then I will aim a few more shots but no strong fancies probably red indian for me

4 miler - got ok corral at very decent prices but they are all win only, prefer ballyward and have him covered in a few multi’s

Not my strongest of days but if the top of the markets come in then should be damage limitation today
 
...Hugh Taylor has posted two bets so far;

Duc des Genievres (Arkle) and Roksana (Mares).
 
Holy shit, I never saw those results coming in!! Friends are hassling me for justification but I’ve told them to make more effort than just read a newspaper on the day. I don’t have control over the results but just back what I think will win with my own money, if they lose then I lose but I’ll win more eventually......start playing I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses
