Hugh Taylor put up interesting points in his column today and has put up two. Best trip and orions bow both from low draws. Traditionally high draws are a massive advantage at thirsk over sprint trips, as Hugh says today last week the reverse was true and low numbers held sway. Now that could be a one off but if it isn't there could be an angle.

I quite like kommander kirkup at 50s  (66s sportsbook) 10 each way. Drawn in the one box.

John Davies used to be an owner with Michael dods and has now gone alone last few years. He has done ok but the small number he has had run this turf season have all gone well.

The horse has horrid form figures but since a 2 year old he has been inconsistent. Finally the mark is back below the last winning one and Phil Dennis is a much improved claimer.

Horse could be gone e.t.c and if draw does reverse to the norm won't have much chance anyway.

I am willing to take a small  chance at 50s.

If anyone could get me a tenner each way personally at 66s with sportsbook  I'd appreciate it.

The horse is the only one to run well this year, has a liking for softish ground.  Because of that the place price must be value.  Fwiw both win and place beat betfair because of the shape of the race.  The favourite is supposedly wearing a tongue strap first time which must be a worry.  Pricewise came out for it last night, but I was always backing it at this price even before that.  

I note b365 had matched.  Meh.  Think I have done enough for thread on that score.  Hills are still a good price and we should take it.  

I have also backed Galileo Gold at 14/1 e/w.

Jockeys only recently seem to have latched on to the fact that the far rail is quicker. I'm pretty sure it has been since they changed the watering system a lot of years ago but field splits have still been rare, even when 16+ line up.

Low numbers are definitely best when they split and a group of six or more head over.

Not a bet but worth posting. You might well have seen the news about the NFL Draft and the lad who was held in many quarters as the best player in this year's crop of college graduates, Laremy Tunsil.

The NFL being American, the whole draft first round thing is done up like the Oscars, with a red carpet, the top players all dressed up and sitting in a green room with cameras on them all night until they get picked.



Then, just before the first pick was announced, he got told the news that his twitter account had just posted an image of him smoking marujuana:

It's something the NFL takes seriously and teams are not likely to risk huge amounts of money on players with drug problems.

Over the next couple of hours, as teams picked other players, including guys in Tunsil's position of Offensive Tackle, the cameras came back to have a look at this young man's face. Tears in his eyes and a look of a mixture of fear and embarrasment on his face.

He was eventually taken at 13 by the Miami Dolphins, which the article below puts into financial context:

The story is quite something. It even made it to the broadsheets here:

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/28/laremy-tunsil-gas-mask-tweet-nfl-draft-miami-dolphins

If he is clean and stays clean, he could be the steal of the draft.

Apparently he was short of work for the Craven, if that's accurate he's an even better bet, I think he's very solid. Walker also thinks he'll improve on the better ground.

Stoke drifting and now 9/4 with BetVictor. Go in again?
