15/2?

That can't be right can it? - Even if it was 2 places you'd fancy Benbatl is a better horse than any of the others?

The dead 8 now, Rostropovich at 33/1 could improve for AOB again



I am not going to get carried away, as strictly I have never heard of some of the runners, but that does seem a bet too good to resist?

I'm thinking:

2 pts e/w 15/2 Benbatl
1 pt e/w 33/1 Rostropovic

Well played Kev - Benbatl ran a good race but ran out of steam towards the end. I’d like to see Winx come and race the best we’ve got but I can’t see it happening.

It's hard to pick at her performance today, she was far superior. Benbatl ran a great race though and was the ew bet to nothing that Kev and MrM suggested.

Agree Winx was clearly the superior horse in the race - great EW shout from Kev and MrM.

I had one of those days yesterday, the cash out on all bets was sat at 56 points and I decided to hold my nerve on Sebastapol (which was in all bets) only for it to finish 4th!

Unlucky OP - I thought he struggled at his hurdles yesterday and never really got into a rhythm. The winner looked a really nice horse and I'll be following him closely, especially if he is stepped up in trip.

That's a good read Archie.

She was impressive today and looked comfortable at every stage of the race. We'll probably never know just how good she is but, forgetting the level of opposition, it is some training performance to get her to win 28 straight races.

That's the one thing I will give my Aussie friends. Much the same achievement as getting Best Mate to Cheltenham in top condition 3 years in a row but it doesn't put Best Mate in the same league as Kauto or Burrough Hill Lad.
I don't think that Winx would beat Cracksman even with the fillies allowance.
 
I'm not a great reader of flat form but I can't see how Phoenix of Spain can be backed at 5/1, and 10/11 to finish in first 3, in the big race at Donny today.
I'm not sure I've seen a better performance than the one Too Darn Hot put in at Newmarket 3 weeks back and PoS got to within 1.5l of that one at Donny 2 weeks prior to that.
Has to be the standout piece of form in the race ?

Darts today include:

Cheltenham
2.00 Callet Mad ew
2.35 Gumball win
3.10 Modus ew
3.45 Notwhatiam ew

Newbury
2.20 Morando ew
2.50 Dirty Rascal ew

Donny
1.45 Breath of Air ew
3.25 Tarboosh and Holmeswood ew
4.05 Phoenix of Spain ew

Good luck all
 
Took the odds a few days ago and fairly happy with my position at the moment, 1pt win on each about from dinons which is 3pt

Modus 7/1
Gumball 4/1
Dinons Evns
Monbeg Legend 3/1
 
Small pre holiday play of

2:00 West approach
2:35 Redicean
3:10 Modus

In a trixie


Was in between Callet Mad and West Approach. So picked CM in the ITV7 which I’m clearly going to win aswell
 
Had 2pts on Modus and 2pts on Tarboosh. Good day. Same Newport are about to let me down for a 13/1 acca
 
1st and 5th.

Project Magic Wand continues this week.

Win Yankee for tomorrow: Young Rascal 6/4, Chairmanoftheboard 7/4 (NAP), San Donato 5/2 & Magna Grecia 6/4.

Couple I like @ Cheltenham too: Modus 9/2 - Goes incredibly well fresh. Rejaah 25/1 - course win and has a good record going on left handed tracks & Perfect Man 16/1 - Same race as Rejaah, will do split stakes. Dinons 11/10 (NB) - Looks a class act, would be unbeaten over hurdles but for falling when some 8 lengths clear on hurdles debut, has gone from strength to strength since and another victory awaits tomorrow.

5 from 8 today. A nice solid, profitable day :)

Flying Angel in the Old Rowan on Sunday 25/1.

Paisley Park is interesting in the Pertemps qualifier, but he also has a entry on Sunday at Aintree.

I thought I posted up, obviously not. I backed Flying Angel aswell at 25/1

Think he's that well handicapped that he could win this Sunday and go onto winning the Betvictor :devilish:

There's a chance he goes off favourite today.

Hopefully he'll be the one to kick my bad run into touch.

Had 1pt e/way after reading this thread, managed to get the last of the 20's available with SkyBet, so fingers crossed lads!
 
Quite fancy Pendra, Ain 1.50, to run a big race today so have had a few quid on at 4's, plus doubled him up with Mick Thonic in the 4.30 at Wincanton, 7/4
