Title: tonights sky dogs wimbledon st leger Post by: turny on October 27, 2009, 12:13:46 PM my appetite for greyhound racing is growing again. i have not been able to watch much since rodders died but am hoping to record and watch tonights wimbledon card later.
although obviously a bit out of touch i spent a few hours last night studying tonights tv races and feel theres some great value on a cracking card. 7.40pm cant see much past westmead carl trap 2 but at 4/7 its a watching race for me 8.00pm think the 4 dog will struggle to lead 3 which he prob has to do to win this race trap 6 plassey has a beautiful draw and although 4 months ago i cant forget his win over this course and distance beating bandicoot tipoki in the derby heats in may. 5/1 looks value 8.15pm a tough hurdle where in my opinion any of the dogs could win. im a lover of the 1 dog winkys don but although well drawn i dont think its in such great form as it was when last racing here. the 4 dog is running well but i think trap 6 barnfield chubby can start releasing its potential away from romford and win this. small stakes playing at 3/1 i think. 835pm another excellent race. t3 should lead but i think most of the field will be queueing up to take it on in the later stages. my moneys on trap 5 brimardon star. he loves the track and if he can get flead 6 on the outside he should get first crack at the 3 dog. 8.50pm the race of the night imo. 872 metres contested by some of the best 8 bend dogs in the country. wimbledon need commending for getting this race together. the best stayer of all is in this race in flying winner but i still think it will be a few runs before he gets back to his best. his participation though gives some outstanding value to be had in his opposition. with this in mind my fancy is trap 6 vatican iona. nicely drawn and if can hold its position round the first 2 turns could go close. none will be staying stronger and im hoping she will get up close home. 14/1 is a spot of value in a good race. 9.10pm the nap of the night for me here. trap 1 jolly poacher. forget his trial, he obviously missed the break. his early pace is his forte and his form at oxford is exceptional. this is a fast animal and if getting on the bunny will go well. available at 4/1 thatl do for me! 9.25pm a watching race rather than a betting race with trap 1 eye of the storm my pick at 13/8. in good form and well drawn. 9.45pm st leger final. its trap 4 lorrys options for me. a dog that can win both ways. a clear run and he wins for me. 4/1 looks fair. so my selections are 7.40 westmead carl 4/7 8.00 plassey 5/1 8.15 barnfield chubby 3/1 8.35 brimardon star 5/1 n.b 8.50 vatican iona 14/1 9.10 jolly poacher 4/1 nap 9.25 eye on the storm 13/8 9.45 lorrys options 4/1 good luck to anyone having a bet, post your picks here. Title: Re: tonights sky dogs wimbledon st leger Post by: Karabiner on October 27, 2009, 12:32:18 PM I still have both of my(heavily influenced by PM) ante-post bets live in the final of the St Leger.
Kinda Easy @ 25/1, and Westmead Wings ew @ 50/1 so a nice sweat for me this evening. After the semis I was so impressed with Kinda Easy's run that I decided not to lay off as I'd rather be a player than a layer @ 3/1 and I only need WW to be in the first four to kop the place money which will hopefully be some kind of cushion.

Title: Re: tonights sky dogs wimbledon st leger Post by: Karabiner on October 27, 2009, 10:03:29 PM well done Ralph, shrood. Cheers Brent, had a nifty on Zach @ 3.2 just in case but this was one of my best outcomes :) Title: Re: tonights sky dogs wimbledon st leger Post by: action man on October 27, 2009, 10:05:52 PM had £25 sfc on zach to beat easy, ridic sick.
Title: Re: tonights sky dogs wimbledon st leger Post by: turny on October 28, 2009, 01:24:24 AM wow a few weeks away and how out of touch am i!
3 winners from 8 all at no prices. plassey a little unlucky but other than that nowhere near. after missing the break my nap jolly poacher never picked up a stick and both lorrys options and vatican iona were run off thrir feet in their respective races. brimardon star was a little disappointing but after swift ninja managed to lead the 3 dod there was to be only one winner. kinda easy was sensational but what a race zach ran to nearly get there. nice result ralph! track record for the very impressive lenson bolt but the most impressive result imo was the 28.48 by eye on the storm. at just 2 years old that time would win many a derby! nice to see midway skipper back to its very best and i think will now run up a sequence in the sky long distance races in the next couple of months. noted still in front at the pick up no mean feat with winner and iona behind. oh well newcastle next week, lets see if we can improve. |
