Weekend Racing

Oh, and at Market Rasen, an unimaginative trixie on Vision Des Flos, Romain De Senam, Silver Streak Faith with VDF to take to chasing, Silver Streak is OBVIOUSLY well handicapped and The New One has to stop winning at some point and RDS is a rightful fav!
 
Good write up Kev and best of luck with your selections.

The first race is a strange one, it’s a small field dominated by a clear favourite. Flag of Honour seems to have been backed in but doesn’t relish the ground by all accounts and has something to find on Stradivarius anyway. Sir Eric is the next but doesn’t inspire me - I think he 9/1 around Thomas Hobson is a great EW price but when looking for a winner I just kept going back to the favourite which is why I’ve gone so heavy on it. Famous last words and all that!

I left the 2.00 alone as I couldn’t find a horse in the long list of runners that I was confident enough on, Harry angel is a big enough price at 13/2 for plenty of people to be getting involved at this stage and I might have a 1pt EW on it if Stradivarius scoots home in the first.

I can’t look past Lah Ti Dar in the Mares and I think it wins it regardless of ground.

Like you, I’m on Roaring Lion in the 3.15 and I backed it primarily after the summer it’s given me as a punter. Having said that, I actually really fancy Lord Glitters now - it ran a stormer at York this summer and likes this soft ground, I think Roaring Lion is the best horse in the race but everything conditions wise seems to suit Lord Glitters.

Good luck today - here’s to ending the season on a high

Nice to celebrate the end of the flat :highly_amused: Had an enjoyable season personally, after today there is only really the BReeders CUp and Melbourne Cup I'll pay any attention to and they're both 'one-off' events that don't clash with the National Hunt.

Doesn't start off with a bang though for me in the 1.25, small stake on Thomas Hobson at 9/1 - I expect Stradivarious to win but I don't fancy the AOB horse much and 9/1 seems a big price for a clearly talented horse in a 6 runner race with question marks over the fav.

Brando each way in the 2.00 looks like good each way value...but that term is thrown around too often, and I can't confidently rule out any horses in the field so there are no such things as "good each way bets" when I feel like the whole field could place... that said, Brando always gives his race and is cloesly tied with The Tin Man and I'll chance him. No result would shock me in this race. I may back Harry Angel if he gets to 7/1 as a win only. (Currently 11/2)

Mares at 2.40 - I like 3 of them with Lah Ti Dah being the first leg in a trixie. Hydrangea looks a good price at 12/1 and I think Kitesurf will go well on the ground and is a solid each way selection but I'll probably only add Hydrangea win only as a big of a saver (as the previous winner) ...

3.15 - Roaring Lion is a big horse for me tomorrow. Rolls onto Cracksman at 30/1 and is also the second leg in my Trixie that ends with Crystal Ocean (at 40/1) .... The 5 places are brilliant with WH and Sky but if I think Roaring Lion is much the best of these. Laurens at 8/1 is too big a price with 4 or 5 places on offer so I have backed her each way... you can make a case for loads of them and it is a deep race, and I'm starting to worry, but those two will do, with a ready poreference for Roaring Lion!

3.50 - I really, really do NOT like Cracksman. I did back him in a treble with Enable(arc) and Roaring Lion, so hopefully I'm waiting on him at odds on for a nice payoutt, but I have gone right off him. I think Crystal Ocean should be loads closer in the market and I like that he's come here as a target rather than an after thought. Monarchs Glen gets a decent mention on FFP and RP podcast and I might back each way if 14s are still available when I wake up

4.30 - Two darts South Seas and Safe Voyage - here is to hoping to end the flat season with a bang,

and good luck all :)

Detorri given 3 day ban for checking Thomas Hobson within the last furlong. I can’t moan as I had a lot riding on that race but it was as clear as day he shut that horse off!

Best horse still won though, well done OP, I very much hope both your doubles land :triumphant:
 
It's all gone a bit pear shaped at Ascot ., but still have R.lion , Cracksman to come and Humbert in the 4-30.
 
I’m a fool

Thought Roaring Lion was the one to let Gosden down so rather than backing 3+ winners at 7/2 I did Stradivarius/Lah Ti Dar double and LTD single

God I hate the flat

Thanks FM, likewise Kev - 30/1 for that treble is great going!

Had a smaller speculative 2pt treble today on the following:

2.00 Kempton - Quel Destin
3.05 kempton - Itchy Feet
4.10 Kempton - Verdana Blue

Verdana wins for me and the other two should be there or there about - good luck to anyone having a go today.
