Weekend Racing

I got 40/1 8 places Cliffs of Dover tomorrow, happy with that.

Great idea OV. The worst part is the excitement I get at a new post only to be left disappointed :highly_amused:
 
As the flat draws to a close and jumps start up I try and be a little more selective with my punting. It has been my best ever 'flat season' and no intention of giving it back now - the racing is interesting enough to just watch for the majority this weekend in my ever so humble opinion....That may be because I've really struggled to find anything I fancy at all tomorrow at Newmarket and York though too!

Some interesting races but nothing is jumping out at me at Chepstow either, it seems to be one of those days/weekends where I just don't have any strong opinions on a race OR I like more than one horse quite a lot and therefore don't see much value. My only bet so far is Stratum ante post win only and Stratum in the 'September Forum Yankee' as I placed it before I was away.

I'll have a bit of a play on Champions Day and I do enjoy the Breeders Cup although I'll be keeping to very low stakes relative to everything else.

I feel like this weekend is the calm before the storm (a 6 month long storm!)
 
No proper bets for me over the jumps until the Charlie Hall. Flat racing will be my focus until the breeders cup.
 
Looking forward to seeing Step Back run tomorrow, massive hike in the weights for his Whitbread win but if he'd been allowed to carry on past the line he would have lapped half the field that day.
Bradstocks get them ready first time so although fitness has to be taken on trust he's likely to be in good order, might have a small National press before the race too....

Same here Ista. I'm interested to see how the Bradstocks campaign him this season. I wouldn't be disappointed to see them put him over hurdles before the national weights are out.
 
EW Trixie tomorrow

Newmarket 15.00 - Too Darn Hot
Newmarket 15.40 - Stratum
York 15.15 - Terumtum Star

Have an awful feeling Limini will beat Stratum tomorrow after mentioning it in the ‘horse I can’t wait to see’ thread.
 
I've just seen a horse called Warnaq is running 16:20 at Fairyhouse today - I was hoping he was related to Rawnaq (the 100/1 certainty in the Stayers a few years back :P) in some way, but doesn't seem to be by breeding/ownership at brief glance :(
 
3 darts thrown at the Ces, Vis a vis, SDS jocked up, only problem with this is that in a big field lots of horses cross over each other, and SDS is always the first to snatch up, cost me plenty of win and place money this season, great jockey with a clear run though.
Other 2 are Uradel, 20's, and Fun Mac, 66/1 ew 8 places.
Only sizeable bet is on the 2 Sean Bowen rides in the first 2 races at Hexham.
 
Picked out a few singles and a double so hoping for a good day today.

4 pts win - Norway 13.50 Newmarket
6 pts win - Persian King 2.25 Newmarket
4 pts win - Different league 16.50 Newmarket

6 pts win double on Persian King and Different League, I’d initially used this to back Happy Power in the 16.15 who I was keen on but announced non runner.

Good luck chaps.
 
Vis a Vis , Uber cool and Cliffs of dover in the 3-40.
Well done OldPersian, 2 down one to go .wish you the best.

And my day gets even worse when my tracker horse The Young Master wins at 14/1 and I back Rock the Kasbah instead

Thanks, really good day yesterday topped off with a 10 point win double on Yaa Mous & Dame Nellie - paid 63 points.

Taken the winnings out and had a 10 pt double on:

Limerick 13.50 - Getareason
Limerick 14.25 - light of my life

Think Good Thyne Tara will win today but odds aren’t attractive at all, might have a play if the double wins.

Good luck today chaps.
 
Thanks BigChaang - good day yesterday topped off with a double in the evening, hopefully more of the same today. Good luck if you’re having anything on today.
