    Was looking at the 3.15 taunton for tomorrow, 8 runners, sp's look evenly matched.
    inspect 7.30, should be safe though.

    Cheers Brian. I make this a very tight handicap with not a lot between at least 5 of the 8 runners. I am favouring course form, so Railroad Junkie is the narrow pick for me.

    RP: 5/2 Cracking Destiny, 3/1 Spring Wolf, 4/1 Railroad Junkie, 5/1 Midnight Chill, 13/2 Cigarisi, 10/1 Minellatillmorning, 25/1 Drops Of Jupitor, 33/1 Legend Lady

    My prices : 7/2 Railroad Junkie, 4/1 Cigarisi, 9/2 Minellatillmorning, 11/2 Spring Wolf, 6/1 Cracking Destiny, 15/2 Legend Lady, 17/2 Midnight Chill, 25/1 Drops Of Jupitor

    Current prices : 9/4 Cracking Destiny, 7/2 Spring Wolf, 4/1 Railroad Junkie, Midnight Chill, 13/2 Cigarisi, 10/1 Minellatillmorning, 25/1 Drops Of Jupitor, 40/1 Legend Lady

    My revised prices after the non runner

    3/1 Cigarisi, 7/2 Minellatillmorning, 9/2 Spring Wolf, Cracking Destiny, 6/1 Legend Lady, 7/1 Midnight Chill, 28/1 Drops Of Jupitor (price should have read 33/1 in my earlier post)

    Brian, I see the main difference between our forecasts is the contrasting prices of Midnight Chill and Cigarisi. I did not factor in chasing experience in my pricing, if I had then Cigarisi might have been a little lower in the list having first run over fences.

    Interesting to note there is a bit of early money for Drops of Jupitor on the exchange, 6% of total money has been traded on this horse which is a bit high for an outsider, to make the comparison, almost exactly same amount has been traded on Spring Wolf which is joint 2nd fav.

    Well spotted, Calvert. 2 of the 4 winners of this race had previously won at the course (that’s 2 winners from just 3 runners), and another winner had previously finished 3rd at the track. That’s why I thought Railroad Junkie would have had a good chance as he likes it here, but going change made them pull it out.

    I noticed that my tissue and yours, both add up to roughly 115%.
    i've adjusted this one to a 100% book (app).
    the value would seem to be minellatillmorning but the ratings and class would make
    me follow my tissue.

    Hi Brian, yes I have been adding around 15-20% overround to my prices, so that I can better compare with bookies prices.

    I was wondering about a couple of columns in your table, Psp, Wgt, Rpr are obvious, and I now know that Ts refers to trainer’s rtf. About the 2 Betfair columns, do you take those price readings at a certain time of day, and what do the * and x next to some of them denote?
  • brian1147
    180
    normally taken at 9am and an hour before the 1st race, the * comes from a dobbing site (where i get the bf odds) it denotes a horse who has been running well for dobbing purposes, the x denotes horses who have not been running well.

    Cigarisi being gambled before the off into 5/1 from 9/1
  • AKD

    SP: 6/4 Cracking Destiny (3rd), 3/1 Midnight Chill (2nd), 5/1 Cigarisi (4th), 6/1 Spring Wolf (Won), 13/2 Minellatillmorning (fell), 33/1 Drops of Jupitor (last of finishers)

    Race of changing fortunes, Midnight Chill touched 1.20 in running, Minellatillmorning (1.75) & Cigarisi (2.28) but it was Spring Wolf who prevailed in the end having touched a high of 24.0 in running. Winner was only 4th best (in tight betting) on both our forecasts and 2nd best on RP’s.

    I am looking at 4:30 Market Rasen for tomorrow.

    Bit of a nightmare of race tomorrow, it’s a handicap hurdle but so many of the runners have had so little racing, it’s difficult to get a handle of form, but this is what I have come up with. I make Treasure Dillon a narrow favourite in a very open market.

    RP: 4/1 Loch Linnhe, Notachance, 5/1 Tikk Tock Boom, 7/1 Corinto, 8/1 Treasure Dillon, Eur Gone West, 10/1 Oscar Ceremony, 12/1 Very Extravagant, Wasdell, 33/1 Minella Gathering, Slanemore Hill

    My prices: 6/1 Treasure Dillon, 13/2 Notachance, Minella Gathering, 7/1 Tikk Tock Boom, 15/2 Wasdell, 8/1 Corinto, Loch Linnhe, 9/1 Oscar Ceremony, 10/1 Very Extravagant, 11/1 Eur Gone West, 16/1 Slanemore Hill

    Time for a re-think , up to now it's been look for any horse with a better price than i have
    made it, without looking to see if the horse has a realistic chance of winning.
    Todays race throws up a decent chance NOTACHANCE (apart from the name) joint top rated,
    highest class rating, TS figure is good, morning price slightly better. (fingers crossed)
    going to have a look tru' the others to see what turns up.

    Good luck, Brian. Interesting that both of us have Minella Gathering so short, recent form is poor but one of only 3 to have actually won a race.

    I am finding that the winners have come from the ones we have priced closer to SP (last couple of days at least) and not from the ones where SP is a lot bigger or shorter than our prices. But there haven’t been enough races to draw any conclusions yet, will analyse results after we have gone through at least 10 races.
  • AKD

    Lots of changes in market, Oscar Ceremony (7/2) and Treasure Dillon (4/1) have gone to top, both were 11.0 on exchanges earlier, OC has taken about 1.5 times more money than TD on Betfair so far.
