No selections for me on Day Two, although that is only my view at the moment.......

Only had one proper bet on Day One (Fair Along,who I feel was disturbed by the two false starts as a front-runner )

Although I did have a saver in the CH (Iktitaf@20/1) without having a main bet as thankfully DC did not drift as expected doing me a substantial favour, however through my rose-tinted spectacles I felt that Iktitaf was not without a real chance of winning when falling three out.

I only have 3 Antepost bets for tomorrow.

2 of them are in the Coral Cup.

Oscatello EW @20/1 (now 12/1)
Copsdale Lad WIN @ 14/1 (now 12/1)

and one in the Kim Muir:

Direct Flight EW @14/1 (now 9/1)


I duno if these will win, i just knew their prices would drop so i would be able to lay them a bit.

Im a big fan of Direct Flight though, and my Dad claims Oscatello wont be far away. 

Ill study all the races properly late tonight/early tomorrow morn tho.

Had a great first day with MY WAY DE SOLZEN.   Had it done ante post, and ended up with about £1180.   - what a horse. Get on for the gold cup next year.

Have a big ante post bet on My Turn Now in the first today and the drying ground will do him no harm.   2nd last time out it was closing on silverburn at sandown when it fell and that was on heavy.   Trainer says it runs best on good ground and gd-soft.  Definately EW claims

I've changed my mind about laying Aran Concerto. I just can't find a viable alternative. I certainly won't be backing it at around 2/1.

I'm still laying Denman and Well Chief.

Today I'm going for places only after my dismal return yesterday

2.00 Silverburn - Aran to short and Silverburn is ok pricewise for me.
2.35 Turko - Can't see past Denman here but Turko is in with a shout of a place
3.15 Ashley Brook - A horse that I always follow as it shares the same name as my wifes late uncle.
4.00 Oscatello - Ta Horneris, good odds for a place here
4.40 Direct Flight - Follow this jockey sometimes as we have the same silly surname.   I wonder if we are related!

Should I get anything back on these, I'm on Mad Fish for a place in the last, purely for it's name :)

Good luck everyone

my 5 quid bet from coral was a non runner as the cricket player didnt play

Had a £2.50 e/w accum as a fun bet -

Fiveforthree
Voy per Ustedes
Verasi
Silverburn

I am on Dangerously good in the coral cup @80-1 betfair (50 and 66 in other places) this horse was decent in 2004 and has been off a while since but came back with a nice enough second on the allw eather a few weeks ago.

coral does 5 places for this race.

I am not encouraging anyone to back it though..it's a very open race but me thinks it'll be a big outsider who wins this. (if you get the forecast or tricast in this race you can retire :)

I've laid off all the big favourites for today. Denman, Well Chief and Aran Concerto. All too short and all beatable.

2 ew dabbles for me today...

2.35   Ungaro
4.40   Bajan Bandit

My Turn Now & Ungaro :)

erm,

2.00 No Bet. Not enough oppopsition to Aran Concerto

2.35 Turko EW @ 20s + Either LAY Denman or BACK Caillin Allin (havent decided which yet)

3.15 No Bet. I like Newmill + Voy Por, but Well Chiefs obviously class. I cant have a bet with that, lol.

4.00 Oscatello EW @ 20s, Oulart EW @ 25s + Golden Bay EW @ 25

4.40 Direct Flight on EW @14s, Parsons Legacy @20s, Patrickninesteeth EW @ 25s

5.20 Aranleigh + got the huge priced Shirley Casper EW @ 50s



A lot of outsiders here, and going smaller stakes after my win yest. Also got a nice Eway double on Newmill + Turko.

Direct Flight + Oscatello my 2 main hopes. Got both at decent prices E Way last week.

2.0 Imperial Commander
2.35 Knowhere
4.0 Oulart
5.20 Tot O Whiskey

Small stake e/w lucky 15

my bet of the day is all star in the 4:00pm e/w

well that's one down :) Arran got beat so that's me up over the first two days thusfar.

Had Catch Me each way in the first - pretty happy.

Have two small stakes on Ungaro and Gazza's Girl in the next (both each way).

nice going...Goodluck :)

anyone laying Denman?  Its far too short a price for me to be even nearly interested in backing it.

Should have probably noticed that Turko cant jump. Messed up 6 consecutive fences.

Not happy coz had Denman to beat Aces Four in an exacta. If only Aces Four hadnt made that huge error 2 out id be quids in. grrrr.

Noticed Turko made a lot of mistakes whilst studying the form  ;)

Surely its got to be a Dempsey/River City double?

Hot tip from the girlfriend - Nation State in the 4 o'clock, she says the jockey's shirt is the nicest  :dontask:

I laid denman..not for too much so no real damage done. Wasn't a great race by the looks of it but he won it well

Well Chiefs gone

Well Chief has fell!

well, hope noone backed well chief at his ridiculous price.

up 300£

On Voy Por Ustedes here, come on!

well done m8!

Boom!!!!

well done!..backed him in running as soon as Well chief fell and Newmill got in close to his fence :)

good day for me so far.

Better if Copsale Lad wins the next!

Well done Scott.

Didnt have a bet, but as soon as Well Chief fell the winner was obvious. Shouldve got on in running.

Class horse.

as long as my 80-1 finishes in the top 5 I'm happy :)

up 350£ for the festival now after backing Voy in running

Over to the 3 real betting races.

very nice.

need copsale lad and direct flight to place in the next two to make it a very good day for me.

Boldie, what's your thoughts on the last?

come on the Vor Puy!

fancied Copsdale Lad in the next but Oscatello is taking my fancy.. moved to hobbs who i think has done quite well in this race.


Gonna have a punt on both and prey. gl gl gl

norrr im edging towards Finger on The Pulse in this race too @ 31 on betfair.

laid well chief for a decent bit, and once it was made in running at betfair I backed it back at the price i wanted to ensure a profit - i think i set it at 7/1. Looked away for a split second, turn back as have no sound and see 7k of green on well chief - knew it must have fallen or pulled up

well chuffed with the lay - stupidly short price

I haven't backed anythign in then last yet..and not laid anything.

cork is going to be tricky to beat but you can do worse than backing Judge Roy Bean i think. Mr O Grady knows what he's got in this horse and 25-1 is surely too big.. some very nice horses in this though..that french horse thatwill move to Jonjo Next season is a nice sort (Berings express)

all star in 4:00

Copsale Lad into 6/1!!!

I'm on at 12s

I've already got small stakes on Judge Roy Bean and Mad Fish.

Also, like Lord of Illusion in the 4.40. Each way.

I hate the 4.40 a desperate race. make sure you stick to front runners or runners that go up with the pace though..horses that come from behind haven't done a lot today for some reason.

bit EW on byron the vepo right now..trainer very bullish so a tenner eW on it

4. Oscatello (R Johnson) 8-1  phew got place at least at bigger price.

well baron the feypo (because that's how you spell it apparently) did get a place..so a small profit on that race.

probably won't be doing a lot tomorrow..Friday is the big day...FALL KAUTO, FALL!!

Phew! Very handy for me that it managed to hold on for 4th.

Thats put me level for the day. Lets win some money now.

pss Brent look at new 7 nights scedule for moortown on live section :)

Had a bit on Oscatello too.

Few bets left: Direct Flight in a couple of each way doubles; Lord of Illusion; Mad Fish; and Judge Roy Bean.

Thats all for today.

Parsons Legacy @ 24s, PatrickNineTeeth @ 33 + Direct Flight @ 14 in the next

Whatuthink @ 33, Aranleigh @ 8-1 + Shirley Casper @ 50s in the last

1 of those winning would make it a v good day.

0 of them winning or placing would make it a fairly bad day.

turthen for me @ 14.5.

2nd. Grrrr.

Hell Yeah ship it on the fav :)

nice little eway bet, came 4th.
