We had a great start to the week with a 5/1 winner and a 4/1 shot beaten by just a short head, but things went downhill from there. In fairness, Saturday's runner-up ran a decent race, but was well beaten by a better performer on the day. The upshot is that we're back where we […]
Saturday's pick was... 4.10 York : Ben Macdui @ 3/1 BOG 5th at 7/2 (Tracked leaders, ridden and every chance over 1f out, no extra towards finish) Monday's pick runs in the... 3.10 Ayr : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Normally, I'll identify and […]
We kicked off the week at -4.67pts for August, but I wasn't too concerned as it was Ebor week. I checked and re-checked my logs and yes, Ebor is a good time for me. I've made good money from the meeting every year for as long as I can remember, especially with two year olds, […]
Saturday's pick was... 5.55 Newbury : Songkran @ 4/1 BOG 3rd at 4/1 (Slight lead, narrowly headed halfway, in front again 3f out, headed over 1f out, no extra in 3rd inside final furlong) Monday's pick runs in the... 2.20 Catterick : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I […]
A brutally honest assessment of the week was that it was dreadful. The only positive I can find about a sequence of results reading 875443 is that they did at least improve as the week went on, but that's about it. To mix a few sporting metaphors, it's now half-time for August and we're behind […]
Saturday's pick was... 3.35 Ascot : Jeremiah @ 13/2 BOG 8th at 10/3 (Raced keenly towards rear, bit closer in mid-division on inside halfway, not clear run and switched left inside final 2f, ridden and stayed on late, never going pace to get involved) - We smashed the SP, but never got a run for […]
A decent enough week last week with two winners and two placers giving us a 2.33pts profit and had Garsman managed to hang on for the win on Friday, I'd have been happily writing about making 8.83pts, but it wasn't to be and once again we got a timely reminder of how fine the margins […]
Saturday's pick was... 8.45 Hamilton : Antico Lady @ 4/1 BOG 10th at 11/4 (Tracked leader after 1f, ridden and unable to quicken 2f out, weakened final furlong) Monday's pick runs in the... 3.15 Haydock : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Normally, I'll identify […]
It's all getting a bit Groundhog Day, I'm afraid as for a fourth week in a row, I can only muster one winner. Thankfully, we got paid out at 5/1, meaning we wiped our faces over week, but the lack of a profit meant an overall loss of 2.3pts for the month. I did say […]
Saturday's pick was... 2.15 Newmarket : Indie Angel @ 9/4 3rd at 5/2 (Steadied start, in touch in rear, wide and headway over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on to go 3rd towards finish) Monday's pick runs in the... 12.35 Redcar : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of […]
For the third week in a row, I can only muster one winner, but at 7/1 allied to two non-runners, it meant a nice 4pt profit from the four that actually ran, which is a decent enough return. It means that whilst we're still in the red for July, we're now within striking distance of […]
Saturday's pick was... 4.20 Haydock : Zlatan @ 11/2 BOG 4th at 11/2 (Chased leaders, not much room over 2f out, soon switched left, ridden over 1f out, beaten 4th final furlong, one pace) Monday's pick runs in the... 8.30 Windsor : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I […]
As with the previous week, it was one winner from six and a small loss on the week meaning we're behind schedule for July. results/performances seemed to get better as the week went on, but July is proving a far tougher nut to crack than June was. We're probably 2 w or 3 winners shy […]
Saturday's pick was... 4.50 Newcastle : Canagat @ 5/2 BOG WON at 6/4 (Quickly away and keen, always close up, led over 3f out, clear lead over 2f out, driven and stayed on well) A welcome winner, that the Geegeez Pace/Draw heat map had spot on! Monday's pick runs in the... 12.40 Ayr : Before […]
Five losers to start the week wasn't what we wanted/needed and July continues to be the chalk to June's cheese (I prefer cheese). Betting on racing is always a rollercoaster ride and good runs will allow follow bad ones and vice versa. That said, Saturday's well fancied winner was a welcome relief as it broke […]
