Hi
While that was close but no coconut today Bannow Blaze did come second having drifted out to 16-1 so still made us +4.40 points on the day. This puts us on +154.30 and means that Bannow Blaze is now not the worst horse on the list. The bad news is Power of Words (our selection for tomorrow) is now one of the worst horses at just over -5 points and although we are waiting on the BOG offers before placing the bet it is looking likely to be a 3.5 point each way wager tomorrow at the current price available.
Roscommon 4.38 Power Of Words (currently 7-2)
I will update tomorrow if anything changes drastically.
Hi
Power Of Words did us proud winning for a +16.20 profit on the day and takes us onto a running total of +170.50 which I am more than happy with as this thread still has five months to go. We have just the one going tomorrow which is over at Wexford.
Hi
Doctor Confusion lost and unfortunately cost us -4 points so drops us back to +166.50 but optimistically we hope to get back on track tomorrow over at Sligo.
Hi
A minimum stakes bet today so we only dropped a point which leaves us on +165.50 but with three going tomorrow it could be a fun day over at Wexford.
4.18 Fool Me Once 5-2
4.18 Prince Inger 33-1
7.13 Charlies Gift 6-1
We will hang around as there are no BOG offers on at present and update later tonight or first thing tomorrow.
Hi
Having become somewhat overconfident as the thread had been doing so well lately I was brought down to earth with a bump today as all three lost and dropped a whopping -12 points which has knocked me back down to +153.50. Fortunately I do not have a runner for tomorrow which is probably just as well.
Hi
Although we had a winner in Leave In Secret today it was definitely squeaky bum time as we would have dropped 12 points if he had not finished in the frame. As it stands however we made +12.60 which just cleared a +10 profit on the horse but does cast doubts over the logic of automatically backing short priced runners each way especially when they already amassed a deficit.
However we are now back up to +166.10 which is more like it and with the next opportunity likely to be Thursday gives us a few days for reflection over the staking plan.
Hi
No joy with Benzine but he ran better than expected and was in the money for us all the way round until the last 100 yards.
We have one going tomorrow which hopefully will give us a good run over at Killarney
5.07 Come On The Lads @ 3-1 for 4 places (no BOG attached)
Hi
Apologies (old age does not come alone) but no bet today for the thread as Come on The Lads won for us last time out. Therefore we are finished with him with regards to the thread. It does not mean I will not be backing him but he will not count on here win place or lose Iwill update the full list soon.
Hi
Zillow did us a favour toady as until he won we were- 8 points down on the last three selections but being + 12 points today leaves us at 170.10 points up overall.
