BEST of the BETS

So young at 40 and my thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time.

Eurowork - Again another one trick pony for the useful Conditional Kieren Buckley taking 7lb off and I note has been a bit of overnight support for this horse. Current odds: 11/1 -LOST :down:

Truckers Highway - Ran yesterday a tUttoxeter when Held up in rear, hampered 14th, weakened home turn, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out over 3miles.Quick reappearance out today over 2m 3f.Current odds: 12/1 - LOST :down:

Oishin -
Kane Yeoman (7) 11/4 in the betting. 4TH :down:

Very well handicapped horse today and low mark than when winning this race last year with the additional 7lb off, but made no difference. Simply a case of a horse just not on his game at present.

One Trick Pony in the 4.00 at Carlisle.

Oishin -
Kane Yeoman (7) 11/4 in the betting.

Useful Conditional this lad.

Unfortunate seagrove.

I did not do the One Trick Ponies today because it is jumps now until Friday but am keeping an eye on them with the flat grass due to start shortly. Sometimes a man can get bogged down following too much.

However, there are three one trick ponies gone in so far today.

One For Rosie
4/7F

Smooth Stepper
9/1

Brayhill
20/1

Wish I had of posted them now. :groan:

Perfect racing ground today and looks lovely at the Curragh.

Yes of course seagrove. So when the wheel comes off, then we stop and look for the different angles. :up:

JT

Oh yes seagrove, I always back them. Not silly stakes but enough to draw a smile on my face. :wink:

JT

I think there is seagrove. I have been trying this for a while now before posting anything. If you work out the stakes and dutch them but use a common sense approach i.e.

* good claimer booked..
* money in the market.
* low stakes on the journey men/woman and I mean that with total respect to the jockey.

Then it does pay dividends..

As a punter I am always searching for an angle outside of the box and this does seem to be a decent angle.

7.45 - Lewis Edmunds - Better By Far - 16/1 - WON 12/1 :up:

Half the battle is knowing with a degree of certainly at what race the horse is really being aimed at.

Just take Royale Pagaille as an example, had two choices, more realistic and preferred choice would be to go against the hugely talent Monkfish, It is now no secret that owner Ricci chose to avoid the clash for the owner reasons and go for the Gold Cup which let's face it, the horse was not ready for based on todays running. In the future yes but not today.

As a punter, we can only speculate on this but reading between the lines I felt Venetia Williams wanted to go against Monkfish but the owner did not want to. So they threw him out of his depth into the Gold Cup. This decision was made last Sunday.

Now we do not really know. It could be that they felt the horse has a real chance in the Gold Cup but we now know. :wink:

However it is a lottery those type of bets and is probably worth a fiver for the fun of the bet in the hope everything drops into place. :up:
