MikeKeymasterHi
I think I have been a bit remiss here as I have just had an e-mail chat with Hopefull and he was asking whether the thread was back in profit as we had a bit of hard time a while back. I say remiss as I have not had the time to go back through all the figures or keeping a running total as it was initially a trial thread but the thread is now well up profit wise and here is a quick summary of this month +8.6, +5.6, +5.5, – 4, +11.11, -6, +10.04 and + 35.48 = +65.18 (which is an incredible achievement).
The thread was a slow starter and has had its blips but is now a proven winner as far as we are concerned and it will be interesting to see how far it goes with Cheltenham around the corner as that meeting is notorious for upsetting the apple cart.09/03/2025 at 8:03 PM #19499

MikeKeymasterHi
The inevitable happened yesterday and we dropped -4.5 points but in the light of the start the thread has had this month that is easily recovered. My concern has always been Cheltenham as it is has been a graveyard for some of the guest threads over the years but hopefull has manged not to get drawn into the hype so its looks promising today. Here are the prices…..13:38 SEDGEFIELD Inferno Sacree @ 4-1

MikeKeymasterHi
Both the each way bets went down which made it -4 points but the maul worked out well and saved the day.
13:38 SEDGEFIELD Inferno Sacree @ 4-1 lost -1
15:20 CHELTENHAM Lossiemouth @ 8-11 won +.87 = – 0.13 (stake goes to 2)
16:18 SEDGEFIELD Ladronne @ 9-4 won 2 points + BOG @ 7-2 +7 = +6.87 (stake goes to 3)
19:15 SOUTHWELL-AW Hammer The Hammer @ 1-4 won +0.9 = +7.77 points profit
Which makes a profit on the day of +3.77 points
Here are todays early prices

14:00 CHELTENHAM Ballyburn @ 4-6

MikeKeymasterHi
The Cheltenham curse finally struck yesterday with both bankers going down which was a big factor in the wipeout, but it was only a -8 point loss which can be made up quite quickly.
There are only two going today and here are the pricesLimerick 2.14 Custom Taylor @ 8-11 for the maul.
Hexham 1.05 Royal Deeside @ 14-1 for 4 places is the each way shout13/03/2025 at 7:52 PM #19521

MikeKeymasterHi
I will not be around much tomorrow so will post tonight Custom Taylor won which made a small profit on the Maul wager, but the each way bet went down so we ended up with a small 1.1 point loss which is neither here nor there. Here are tomorrow’s prices…14:22 DONCASTER Reallyntruthfully @ 7-4

MikeKeymasterHi
Reallyandtruthfully won which bought the maul wager in, Coachello was a non runner and Blue Seeker lost so it meant an overall loss of about point which again is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things but it would be nice to see us get one in again and today could be the day.13:27 NEWCASTLE-AW Matwana @ 1-4
