Ridiculous Ideas for 2025

[Mike]

Hi
Having been worried about today being one of those days it actually turned out to be a good day at the office.

Ballyearl won for a +10.8 profit
Shadow Paddy also won for a +10.80 profit
Doctor Confusion lost for -2
Tremaine lost for -3
Easy Doyen was a non runner

I will update the full list tomorrow when I have a bit more time. We do have one declared Big Dispute at 11-1 for 5 places in the 6.18 at Clonmel tomorrow (but I do not think he will run).

[Mike]

Hi
As promised here is the full update plus a answer to a couple of thread queries. ?

Happy Me -0.2
Big Dispute +0.4
Bishbashbosh =0
Kish Bank +10.50
Aspurofthemoment +10.8
James the Brave – 2
Tremaine -5
Ballybow +13.5
Lakota Blue -4 + -4 = -8
You Done Well -3
Medai Naranja -1
Batman Girac +13.80
Sony Bill -1 = -2 = -3
Willy De Houlle -3 (injured)
Commanche Moon (now) +2.6
Queen Of Seduction +5.5
Mujeres Isla (now) -2
Miss Mini Bee -2
Alright Darling (1/2 point each way @ 25-1) +2
Seskin Flash +12.3
King Of the Bronx +11.2
Gala Marceau +10.5
Ethical Diamond (1/2 point each way @ 16-1) = +1.1
Dream Shaper -1
Bright Legend – 4.65
Hamsiyann -5
Gold Dancer -1
Godblessyourosie -2
Ceol Draiochta -2
Tassarolo +0.6
Grey Fable -1
Doctor Confusion -2
Ballyearl +10.8
Shadow Paddy +10.8
Cois Fharagge +0.5

Running Total is now points +69.05

The query I had that probably needs clarifying is that although we had a few big winners lately we are only backing them to make a minimum of +10 points and back them in 1/2 point increments each way. Hence Shadow Paddy was advised at 18-1 but was only backed at 1/2 point each way (the minimum bet) which made +10.8. We may well have backed these ourselves for a more but the aim of the thread is long term and to a workable LSP (level stakes profit).

Hi
Well we have the feeling we are due some comeuppance after the last few days and we have a freakish situation at Kilbeggan tomorrow as we have four horses all in the same race and not a fancied one among them. But it is what is and you have to stay positive as there are four places on offer….lol.

5.25 Yarraman Makarrato @ 9-1
5.25 Godblessyourosie @ 18-1
5.25 Bannow Blaze @ 22-1
5.25 Gordons Aura @ 50-1
6.00 Easy Doyen @ 66-1

We will be loking for a bet without the favourites for Easy Doyen and possibly Gordons Aura and will update the thread later tonight.

[Mike]

Hi
We are not entirely sure what to do about having four in one race so we have taken the prices on offer and hope to get at least one in the top four to avoid a wipe out. But remember these are to follow horses and with three of them being minimum 1/2 point each way wagers it would not be a disaster should it all go south. Our other selection Easy Doyen we will take at 19-1 betting without both Costacurta and Rapperee Champ.

[Mike]

Hi
Well I had a feeling about today and we had a non runner in the 6.00 then of course we had the disaster that was the 5.25. Of the four runners two unseated thier riders and the other two finished midfield. Fortunately due to all the runners being outsiders it was not to painful (-5 points on the day) but it does add four more to the list. We have just the one tomorrow over at Wexford

3.35 Baron Blake @ 22-1 for 4 places.

[Mike]

Hi
Baron Blake looked to be in contention 4 out but was quickly pulled up leading us to believe there was an issue but only time will tell. We have another problem tomorrow at Ballinrobe as we have 4 horses in the same race again which proved mildly painful the last time it happened but we have to follow the plan so here goes.

7.30 I Am Mimi @ 9-2 for 5 places
7.30 Desert Haven @ 14-1 for 5 places
7.30 Leitzel @ 16-1 for 5 places
7.30 Gordons Aura @ 20-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
That was as they say a tad fortuitous as although we cannot claim it for the thread had you done all four horse in a combination tricast it paid £1,135.46 to pound. So know we are going to be putting up next time…lol. As it stands though the fortuitous side of things we can claim is as listed below.

7.30 I Am Mimi @ 9-2 for 5 places Won 2 points e/w for the 10 point profit became +18 with BOG @ 15-2
7.30 Desert Haven @ 14-1 for 5 places Placed became +2.20 with BOG
7.30 Leitzel @ 16-1 for 5 places Placed also at +2.20
7.30 Gordons Aura @ 20-1 for 5 places Only 1/2 point each way required so became -1.

This means on the day we came out +21.40 in profit and this takes us up to a decent looking +84.50 profit or the thread to date.

[Mike]

Hi
We have one going today over at Wexford which has already been mentioned by Sudsie on another trial thread as was Desert haven yesterday. Todays selection is as follows.

7.00 Banana Three @ 9-2 (BOG attached) it is a drifter from as low as 5-2 last night.

I have had a query over us both coming up with the same selections from time to time but this is because we have jointly created a data base of over two thousand Irish Hurdlers over the last few years hence this will happen from time to time.

[Mike]

Hi
Due to the shorter price we dropped -4 points on Banana Three but such is life. We have one over at Limerick tomorrow.

6.42 Youdonewell @ 20-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
We have nothing for tomorrow but it was nice to get another winner in today with Youdonewell who we took at 20-1. Now although this a big priced winner which normally would have been only a 1/2 point each way bet as the selection was already -3 we had to put 1 point each way on it to clear a our target of 10 points profit per horse. This means a we cleared a +24 point profit then -3 from the losses which means Youdonewell now goes on the list at +21 and is our most profitable horse to date.
This may well be short lived as the profit/loss on these threads can go up or down but this has taken the thread to just over the 100 point profit for the first time since we started this way back in January. It may have taken a while but obviously it is nice to have got there in the end and lets hope it continues.

[Mike]

Hi
We have a hat full going tomorrow of which some will be taken without the favourite/s.

Listowel 3.05 Pistocchi 100-1 but @ 30-1 without Kara Sacre & Sticktotheplan
Listowel 4.48 Alright Darling @ 16-1 for 5 places
Tramore 6.45 Kainsbourg @ 11-10
Tramore 7.15 Benzine @ 33-1 for 4 places
Tramore 7.45 Yarraman Makarrata @ 100-30
Tramore 7.45 Hillstar Blues 50-1 but @ 16-1 without Sunset Boulevard & Yarraman Makarrata

[Mike]

Hi
Pistocchi was a nice winner and even at minimum 1/2 point stake but still made a nice +18 point profit.
Kainsbourg was a riskier option at 10 points but cleared a nice +13.2 point profit.
Yarraman Makarrata was the biggest loser at- 5 with the other three all losing -1

[Mike]

Hi
We have two going in the one race again tomorrow which is another nightmare but such is life.

Clonmel 5.00 Power Of Words @ 7-2
Clonmel 5.00 Tassarolo @ 9-2

[Mike]

Hi
Swings and Roundabouts today Tassarolo won but at 9-2 and although a welcome winner was only a +10.8 point profit whereas Power Of Words lost at 2.5 points each way for -5. But we did clear +5.8 points on the day which takes the thread total to +129.45.
We have a few going tomorrow at Punchestown but I am obviously thinking Power Of Words who let us down by drifting off course will not turn out again tomorrow.

3.00 Power Of Words @ 11-1
3.40 Big Dispute @ 15-2
3.40 Leave In Secret @ 6-1
4.45 Gobblessyourosie @ 33-1 but 28-1 for 6 places looks best

[Mike]

Hi
With three non runners today we have looked through our pending list and come up with the following which we will throw in as replacements.

4.10 Butchers Bill @ 10-1 for 6 places
4.10 Fortune The Brave @ 9-1 for 6 places
