Ridiculous Ideas for 2026

[Mike]

Hi
We have three going tomorrow all are extra market options but I am happy enough to go in with two of them tonight for the usual 1/2 point each way albeit for just the one extra place.

Punchestown 3.07 Fairlander @ 10-1 for 5 places
Punchestown 4.52 Accustomed 12-1
Navan 4.37 El Regalo @ 28-1 for 5 places

We will look again at Accustomed in the morning. !

[Mike]

Hi
Fairlander did us proud winning at 10-1 we let Accustomed go and El Regalo lost so we ended up +5 points on the day. We now stand at +29.24 and have just the one going tomorrow which is a “To Follow” horse and we can get away with 1.5 points each way on that one at the 13-2 for 4 places showing tonight.

Rosscommon 7.18 Struck Oil

[Mike]

Hi
I guess that’s just the way it goes as I was convinced Struck Oil was my best bet of the week and he fell at the last having jumped left most of the way around. But such is life we dropped three points and now stand at +26.24 as we go into tomorrow.

Southwell 5.05 Fighting Falcon @ 15-8 3 places
Sligo 7.00 Timurshah @ 4-1 for 5 places
The above are a done as a 1/2 point each way double.

Sligo 6.30 Hopeful Hero @ 10-1 is a “To Follow” horse and we will go 1 point each way.

[Mike]

Hi
Timurshah won but Fighting Falcon Pulled up which meant we dropped a point on the double. However Hopeful Hero placed so we picked up a point there and came out even on the day. We have nothing for a few days now so will play catch up with tidying the site up.

[Mike]

Hi
We currently still stand on +26.24 and think it is worth a 1/2 point each way on Jr Mahon @ 40-1 as we can get the extra place with bet365 in the 7.20 at Fairyhouse tomorrow. The horse is no world beater but has shown a bit promise in both codes and this trip just might be the answer. The jockey ran well with this one over hurdles and gets the full 7lb claim here in what looks like a weak race.

[Mike]

Hi
This will be a bit of a first but we are going in again on tonight’s selection as it has has drifted to 18-1 for 9 places and I cannot resist a bargain. We have already taken him for 5 places @ 40-1 but have put another 1/2 point each way.In hindsight I would have just gone with the second option but I really did not think he would drift this far.

[Mike]

Hi
Well that was disaster as I dropped 2 points on the day as having pushed my luck and gone in again hoping that the selection pulling up last time out was a one off but unfortunately it appears he has lost his love for the game. ?
This leaves us back down at +24.24 with two going at Kilbeggan tomorrow.

6.42 Dearg Mor (To Follow) which placed for us last time out so will only cost us 1.5 points each way to clear the 10 point profit required and we get 5 places.
7.12 Charlies Gift 20-1 for 5 places which we will take at 1/2 point each way tonight unless the extra markets offer us something better in the next hour or so.

[Mike]

Hi
We took the 20-1 but if anyone is still pondering the options Charlie’s Gift is being backed this morning and looks like developing into a gamble. ?

[Mike]

Hi
Well I guess Charlies Gift did not know he was a gamble as he pulled up…lol. However Dearg Mor placed for a nominal profit so we ended up losing 0.90 on the day. This leaves us on +23.34 as we play a strange one today at Royal Ascot. We do not get many here as Irish hurdlers are few and far between in meetings like this but we are following a system so here goes.

5.00 Tim Toe 1/2 point each way @ 16-1 for 6 places.

[Mike]

Hi
A little bit better with the last one with Charlies Gift placing third for a +1.1 profit on the day. This takes us back up to +24.44 in total.
We have one going tomorrow o the flat at Leopardstown who is going to back to the flat after half a dozen runs over hurdles.

7.20 Crypto Crash 1/2 point each way @ 25-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
Crypto Crash let the side so we bounce back to +23.44 but it could be an interesting day tomorrow at Ballinrobe as three of the threads have selections all in different races.

6.25 Coul Dreamer
6.25 Big Dispute
The above are mine where we will be looking for a bet builder.

7.27 Sands Castle In for a penny in for a pound

8.30 Switch From Diesel QUALITY RACING 2026

[Mike]

Hi
Bit disappointing as I can only get 21-20 for my two for a top 5 finish but it is what it is and it is a weak race.

[Mike]

Hi
Big Dispute ran a stinker so we dropped a point last time out and start July on +22.44 but a positive is that the Irish NH racing is back so we hope it will on wards and upwards from here. We got to Limerick today with the following

6.23 Micky Cohen @ 7-1 for 4 places
6.58 Illtakehimmyself @ 10-3 for 5 places

The above will be taken as a 1/2 point each way double to see if we can get back on track.

[Mike]

Hi
Mickey Cohen was a non runner and Illtakehimmyself placed for a small 0.17 loss on the day which means we go into tomorrow on +22.27. We have bypassed the bet on Can Happen as the price was not inspiring without the favourite.
We head over to Wexford tomorrow for another 1/2 point each way double on these two chancer’s.

5.20 Lakota Blue @ 14-1 for 4 places
8.00 A Snow White Park @ 13-2 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
Lakota Blue let the side down as a Snow White Park ran a cracker but its still a one point loss which takes us back to +21.27. However we finally have a “To Follow” horse going today over at Bellewstown.

5.48 Hopeful Hero (To Follow) @ 10-1 for 4 places (Sky)
5.48 Whats New 12-1
We will also do both of the above in a bet builder when the markets are available.
7.48 Accustomed 1/2 point each way @ 10-1 for 5 places
