Speed Ratings Irish Hurdlers

[Mike]

Hi
At first glance I was disappointed with the results yesterday with only Rockonliam and Knockaneleigh Girl placing but having looked through the replays etc St Anthonys Corner was a non runner and Tir Og was leading and nailed on for a place if not a win when falling in the straight. Howdoyoulikeherhome stumbled on the final bend and (reportedly) hung left throughtout but still finished a length of placing.
So in hindsight we will give this another go as we still have a few weeks to play with the data before our end of season dabble on April 2Oth when we hope to land the “Holy Grail”. Lets hope we do not end up with just holes in our bank balance…lol.

Hi
We are over at Limerick tomorrow where are going to try out a to good to be true idea but as we have a few weeks before our crucifixion we will keep dabbling in the hope of adding another string to our bow.

2.17 Janes Harbour @ 4-5
2.52 Pheonix Cowboy @ 5-1 for 4 places
4.02 Mashalla Habibi @ 6-4
4.37 Slip Jig @ 13-2
5.10 Ixireczed @ 20-1 for 5 places

I would obviously at the prices be looking for each way doubles in this instance with the obligatory accumulator thrown in for good luck.

Hi
I hate days like yesterday when you have three placed second one going down to a first time up 66-1 shot then one placing fifth when you needed fourth and to cap the day your 20-1 shot is well backed all day and then runs wide all the way round and fades away…lol. It’s not the the fact it did not turn a profit but it makes you feel a tad unlucky and want to try it again. It still is too simplistic to be true but I have to go in again just in case. These are all at Ballinrobe tonight and are all reasonable each way prices so we will go with the same bet.

5.12 Holy See @ 11-4
5.47 Zoffanien @ 11-2 for 4 places
6.17 Ladium @ 20-1 for 4 places
6.47 Max Time @ 10-1 for 6 places
7.17 Love Like This @ 10-1 for 4 places

Hi
Today was not much different to yesterday two placed one non runner and the 20-1 shot comes fifth instead of fourth which gave us a return but again no profit. It is tempting to continue with it but we are already working on our bets for the 20th so we will stop dabbling and stick with what we know. We have high hopes for our wagers on the 20th but then again I a putting up Mr Incredible at 100-1 for the Scottish National so what do I know….lol.

Hi
Unbelievable… ! As has been mentioned on numerous occasions over the last few months posts on this thread, we have been planning and scheming our end of season wager for this weekend which was going to complete tomorrow on the 20th which was the last double Irish NH fixture of the season covering all the grades of racing from Maiden Hurdles onwards.
Unfortunately Fairyhouse has been abandoned today and is unlikely to race tomorrow and if it does it will be atrocious ground. This has just put to bed our planned “Holy Grail” wager and apologies to those who were involved but such is life.

Hi
We might as well have a bet even though our original idea went down the river. Sudsie I believe will be posting an alternative viewpoint when I have finished posting here. (but in the same races).

Fairyhouse 1.22 Young Lucy @ 9-1 for 5 places
Cork 2.12 Cathryns Ruby @ 8-1 but without Divaboriva and Colonel Victoria
Cork 2.47 Zoffanien @ 7-1 for 5 places
Cork 3.22 Cullig @ 5-1 for 5 places
Fairyhouse 3.35 Son Of Anarchy @ 11-4 without Good Deal and Icare d’Aubrelle
Fairyhouse 4.45 Washington Parks @ 22-1 for 6 places

Hiya Mike 🙂 here is the alternative. I am going with sky for mine as they are offering extra places on some of the races.
Fairyhouse 1.22 Young Lucy 7/1 for 5 places
Cork 2.12 Colonia Victoria 9/4 for 4 places
Cork 2.47 Zoffanien 13/2 for 5 places
Cork 3.22 Cullig 9/2 for 6 places
Fairyhouse 3.35 Icare D’aubrelle 4/1 for 4 places
Fairyhouse 4.45 Aurea Fortuna 6/1 for 6 places
Fingers crossed 🤞 we both get lucky today 😁

Hi
Not a bad set of results today we both used the now standard each way doubles and an acca but I have to concede defeat and Suds wins. I managed to wipe my nose (more or less) with four placed but Suds had four placed and a winner for a profit.
We are both having a dabble tomorrow in a similar vein but the selections will be taken from a mixture of the other threads and the final wager will go into the standard Winning Post Tips thread.

[Mike]

Hi
As a footnote to the last post we have discussed at length the validity of keeping both the main threads going and it looks like this thread may have run its course. We will confirm next week but from now on it looks as though all the bets will be channeled through the threads.
