go on, do your worst


winners, dark horses, avoid at all costs please

First race Alberta's run looks quite nicely priced at around 7-4..all the other races I would avoid though...it's all good racing but nothing stands out for me.

Tricky card, nothing stands out for me.

My feeling is to avoid any horses which won at Cheltenham if the jockey picked up a whip ban.

I'm not a layer, but if I were, Captain CeeBee meets those criteria.

I think Albertas Run is a good thing in the first up against horses that have had a long hard season. I'm very keen on The Tother One in the next,Thomas gave it a poor ride at the festival and i expect Ruby to sit and wait a lot longer today.I may have a small punt on an outsider in the next just in case Master Minded doesn't stay.The Topham usually goes to a light weight but i don't know which one.I think the Nicholls/Walsh horse is the only danger to Captain Cee Bee who is very short imo. Maybe Boychuk or Alderburn in the next and Call me a legend in the bumper.

off down the bookies shortly to place today EW lucky 15

Will share my selections on my return

Right mission accomplished, here are the selections from the Colchester Jury

2.35 Souffleur
3.45 In the high grass (EW NAP)
4.55 Kings Euro
5.30 Ravello Boy

drew £17 and change from yesterdays, so reinvested the stake and took the £2 profit LOL

50p EW lucky 15.

Best of luck to you..I personally think Souffleur is a tremendously dissapointing and dodgy sort...so it will probably hack up :)

OK, wasn't going to post them for fear of bokking, but Kev insisted.  Go ahead and get yer laughs over with now:

2:00 NOVICES' CHASE 3m1f
Big Bucks - FTW

2:35 NOVICES' HURDLE 3m110y
The Tother One - wee each way because I'm chicken about win only bets

3:10 MELLING CHASE 2m4f
Voy Por Ustedes - wee each way for reasons stated above

3:45 TOPHAM CHASE 2m 5f 110y
Bothar Na - E/W (notice a trend yet? lol)

4:20 NOVICES' HURDLE 2m110y
Pierrot Lunaire - FTW (broke the trend on this one)

Went a little mad in the next race:

4:55 HANDICAP CHASE 3m1f
New Little Bric - E/W

and

4:55 HANDICAP CHASE 3m1f
Boychuk - E/W

Last, but hopefully first in the race is:

5:30 NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE 2m1f
Call Me A Legend - E/W

Big Bucks

Gone to Lunch

Tamarinbleu (having a punt on Master Minded not staying, certainly unbackable at 2/7. Tamarinbleu also 9/4 in the without the favourite market, which I liked)

EW on Bothar Na

E/W on Alsadaa (Captain CeeBee opposable at those odds)

and all in a EW Lucky 31


Lay all these quick, I am the posh Glasgow Bandit

Gone for a lucky 15 too

2.00-  Albertas Run     
2.35 - The Tother One    
3.10 - Master Minded    
4.55 - New Little Bric

Do I need one winner for lucky 15's ? Do places count?  I really don't know.  I was going to do a yankee but I read that lucky 15's may be better :D  Could some kind soul explain both bets for me please  :kiss:

lucky 15 is a yankee but the singles count. (A yankee is only doubles/trebles and a 4 fold)

it depends on the odds of your picks whether a yankee or lucky15 is better. If your horses have short odds a yankee is better and the lucky 15 doesn't do anything for you really.

oh ty.  I guess having Master Minded in wasn't a great move then, not so good odds on that one.

So it's wins only, no places? 

some lucky 15's pay double the odds one winner too

if you have your lucky 15 EW then places count as well.

You have picked several fairly short priced horses (Alberta's run is only 7-4/2-1) so I would have gone with a yankee instead.

Tighty is right..some firms (most, I think) pay double the odds if you only have one winner in a lucky 15. some firms (Betfred) give you a bonus if you get all your selections correct (win) in a lucky 15 (25% I think)...so a horse like Mastermind makes sense in that scenario as it's a nice little booster.

TY,

It was with Blue Sq and it did say about a bonus.  Will go for better priced horses next time, but if you're picking the winners, you can't help the odds eh :D

;goodluck; everyone, here's to another great day of racing :)

If you're picking the winners any odds are good mate :) Good luck!

It's a 10% bonus for an all correct Lucky 15. Most small independant shops (are there any anymore?) used to offer treble the odds on one winner.

n1 Laxie ;applause;

TYVM...could feel it in me bones.  Happy Birthday Tighty   ;D 

cheers

class horse that

very nice job Laxie

Nenuphar Collonges

Apologies to the layers!!

the world is flat and made of bananas after all!

Sigh...this horse betting stuff is such an easy gig.

amazing..my whole belief system just came crashing down.

good thing you're not in the tipster comp..us guys wouldn't stand a chance.  :)

ditto. I'm the new Glasgow Bandit

fk my life

Lads, lads, lads...sometimes you just have to think outside the box.  My mom always said, 'Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't mean you have to.'  Also applies which horse you bet on.   rotflmfao

lol..why is it that as soon as a woman lucks out and is right about a thing or two they start acting all smug and clever? ;)

Now..pick me the national winner Laxie!

When's that on?  Haven't even thought about it yet.  Will have a look later and get back to ya. 

Tomorrow Aintree 4.15. Thanks :)

Pierrot Lunaire purely because I like the Nicholls/Walsh combo, but will also have an E/W on Pigeon Island because I like PJ Brennan too. 

My life Sucks.

I cant back a loser at Cheltenham, the opposite is true here.

Got heavily involved in Battlecry & Gone To Lunch at 7/1 and 10/1, both 2nd obv.

Need Theatre Knight or Nice Try here or im gona kill myself.

I have a small e/w on Nice try

currently voodooing to the strains of my singing "bothar na,nannannananannana"
s,

What belief system is that?

That the world is round, that there is gravity, that the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west and that you can't back a winner...you know..what we all hold to be true.

3 out of 4 up in the EW Lucky 31 here, the EW part!

all riding on a huge priced nag in the 4.20

off to prostrate myself at the feet of the equine gambling gods

And Pharalashan was going well there should have got a place. 

I'm just curious...why did you choose that horse?

*Cough...nothing to see here

Will have to re-think that race after today's events.   rotflmfao  Will let you know tomorrow.

In big handicap chases I like to go for jockeys who  are good over the big fences and yards thats have good form in chases Johnson/Daly meet this criteria and the horse had a half decent effort in the Racing Post Plate at Cheltenham.

Well, the 4:55 went radically wrong.  Fingers crossed for the last one.
