Hi Rob
I think the surprise there was surely Reach The Moon not coming home but the placed options kept you honest on the day. This means you have stayed ahead of the old enemy on all three days of the Ascot meeting, which is no mean feat in itself. 🙂
I will be having a dabble myself tomorrow at Ascot, albeit I am out of my depth with the dreaded flat racing but with no Irish NH racing in sight, think I have developed withdrawal symptons…lol.
So in the 3.05 I am interested in two outsiders both making there seasonal reappearance. The first is Zain Claudette at 33-1 for 6 places, but this one may become a non runner due to the trainer having stated last time out, that the really fast ground was her undoing.?
This leaves me with the 66-1 shot Hala Hala Athmani one of three runners being thrown in the deep end by trainer Kevin Ryan. This one would have had much easier comeback options and with William Buick booked I am interested enough to try the 27-1 for 10 places and the 33-1 for 9 places. (there was also 40-1 for 8 places on offer which would obviously make the bet up to my usual 100-1 shout. But that type of long shot option is for mugs such as me to waste my money on). 🙂

Hi
I had been hoping to go out with a bang as this was probably one of the last opportunities for a footie bet until the season restarts at the end of next month. 🙁
But it was worth a punt. The Netherlands v Wales game paid out on the 4-1 and the big 250-1 wager missed out by a whisker (well a corner kick to be precise).
Both teams scored in both halves both teams recieved 20+ booking points and the Netherlands had 2+ corners in each half it was just the Welsh corners that let us down. 🙁

Hi
It’s hats off to Rob today with two winners Dramatised advised at 5-1 and Little Big Bear at 11-4. Also a not too shoddy place return on Bless Him advised at 33-1 (its always worth those extra places).

It’s nice to have a high percentage tipster on hand to take the pressure off, whilst us long shot amateurs try and set the site up.  🙂  Thanks Rob !

Hi
Firstly has anyone had any issues, either logging in or trying to post comments on any of the threads. ??
We are trying to eradicate any issues before we reset, which we hope to do by approx the 1st of July.
Rob was the only winner today and although both Baaeed and Coerebus were both favourites a short priced winner is better than a long priced loser.
Macilgoney is proof of the pudding here, as mentioned previously he drifted alarmingly before the off never got involved and was pulled up halfway round. 🙁
Rob has has some issues getting on so has text me his tips for tomorrow at Ascot which are as follows.
2.30 Dramatised @ 5-1 for 5 places
4.20 Mother Earth @ 5-2 (Best odds guaranteed)
5.00 Bless Him @ 33-1 for 7 places
5.35 Little Big Bear @ 11-4 (Best odds guaranteed)
He has made a decent case for the outsider Bless Him with the obvious caveat that at those prices you get what you pay for. 🙂 I will try and fill in the details from Rob’s text later, time permitting.
I have not had much to put up for about a week now and with no Irish NH racing on the agenda until next week I will not be on this thread for a few days.

Please though do report any issues as soon as they happen, with any details you may think relavent, such as time it happened and any error messages recieved. I hope to fix them all by this weeeknd.

Hi
Just to keep the ball rolling we will try one of our long shot’s tonight with the following.
Netherlands v Wales (Both teams to score and have 2 or more corners in both halves with both teams to have 20 or more booking points in the game). Worth a punt at 250-1. ?

For the more serious, how about the following: (Both teams to score, 1 corner each team each half and 10 or more booking points each team). This comes out at the following prices for the home nation fixtures.

Netherlands v Wales @ 4-1
Ukraine v Republic Of Ireland @ 4-1
England v Hungary @ 6-1

Even this bet has odds of a 174-1 if you went for the treble and you know we love these especially for there cash out options.

[Mike]

Hi
I still cannot get any each way extra prices for College Causeway and the ground may have gone against Cullagh Star, so I have only taken the following for tonights Roscommomn meeting.

5.25 Macilgoney @ 16-1 for 4 places
5.55 Cedar Rapids @ 10-1 for 4 places

These are not what you would call high expectation selections, especially as Macilgoney is drifting like a barge in the betting markets. However both of these are low grade races and it will not take a superstar to win them. With that in mind I just fancy that with decent claimer Shane Mulcahy onboard, we could get one of these home with a slight preference for Cedar Rapids.

[Mike]

Hi
Although I believe flat racing to be the invention of the devil..lol.  🙂  I will in the spirit of the day enter up two selections at Ascot using a rough adaption of my NH system criteria.

2.30 Sir Busker 66-1 (no hoper) but taken @ 10-1 betting without Baaeed for 2 places
3.40 Arecibo 50-1 (grasping as straws) but is taken @ 20-1 betting without both Golden Pal and Nature Strip for 3 places

Sir Busker is not in the class of Baaeed and Arecibo should not get near either of the globetrotting front two Golden Pal and Nature Strip. However both are solid performers who have track trip and conditions to suit. If either gets in without the favourites I would be over the moon. Realistically both being placed without the favourites would be the hope as a cheeky each way double would still show a nice profit.
I have already put on the placepot using last nights selections as placepots will now be an integral part of this thread.
I will update tonights NH racing when I come from the garden this afternoon.  🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Well close but no coconut today Legacy Of Dreams got sixth Griffiths Park needed 8th and got 9th  🙁
but Chief Seattle kept us honest by coming second advised at 28-1. 🙂
I do have a few at Roscommon tomorrow namely as listed below but will be checking out the extra markets before deciding which ones to dabble with.
5.25 Macilgoney 14-1 for 4 places
5.55 Cedar Rapids 10-1 and/or College Causeway 66-1 (each way extra price required)
8.00 Cullaghs Star 10-1 for 4 places
Hi Rob
Thank for the tips they will make a nice base for a placepot at Ascot tomorrow.
2.30 no 2 Baaeed
3.05 no 10 + no 11
3.40 no 10 + no 15
4.20 no 6 Coroebus
5.00 no 1 + no 4
5.35 no 9 Juan Elcano
I will join in at Ascot as I am off tomorrow but will be looking for betting in the extra markets such as betting without Baaeed, however will update the thread in the morning as usual.

[Mike]

Hi
If you anyone is still having problems posting on the site let me know.
Whilst I am on, here are the extra places for tonight at Kilbeggan if you fancy a dabble.
5.30 Legacy Of Dreams 20-1 for 4 places or 14-1 betting without both Breffni Brave and Somme Soldier.
6.00 Griffiths Park 20-1 for 8 places
6.00 Chief Seattle 28-1 for 5 places
I will be home for the 8.00 race and see how the day goes.
The 5.30 race is for horses that have not placed and according to my records Legacy Of Dreams has clocked the fastest time so looks overpriced.

[Mike]

Hi
I am just posting a few thoughts for tomorrow night’s racing at Kilbeggan to test a reported problem.
If anyone is having any problems posting on the threads just drop me a line.  🙂

5.30 Legacy Of Dreams 22-1
6.00 Griffith Park 50-1 or Chief Seattle 28-1 both available for 5 places
8.30 Slate Grey 11-1

I will update the thread tomorrow lunchtime to see if there is a possible bet in the extra markets.

[Mike]

Hi
Well we did not get a return and the lottery ticket lost so it was a boring score draw on the day. 🙁
But hopefully it has shown those of you who have not been on the site before how it works and also links up with both the Goalpost Tips and Winning Post Tips tips pages.
This competition will be tried once more before the reset just to see if anyone else is likely to join in and we will look to trial another competition in the next week or so.

[Mike]

Hi
Willyouwalkwithme did what I thought he would, but obviously was just not good enough on the day. Mandoob in reality never got into it but as all six the runners finished within 4 lenghts of each other it was tight enough not to write him off next time out. (Rob’s) Findono wore his heart on his sleeve and led from the front but the weight for age probably told in the end. However as he held on for third place, each way backers would not have lost out.
As I have pointed out on the other threads today hopefully this has given you an idea of how the revamped site will be interlinked and you still have a window of opportunity to have a dabble if you are unsure, whether or not to join in. The site will reset in a couple of weeks when it is glich free.

[Mike]

Hi
Firstly thanks to three brave souls Rob,Joe and Andy who stuck there head above the trenches and joined in. I am sure there are one or two others who maybe, are looking on to see how it works (as the site had over 150 hits yesterday). The competitions are free and just a bit of fun so next we time we try it if you want to join in just drop me a line on or off the site.  🙂

The lottery ticket has been purchased and the bet placed. The stakes are nominal (in accordance with the competition rules) involving trebles and an accumulator which would pay a maximum total of just over £1,193 if they all came in.

Best of luck boys and girls  🙂

Hi
Here are tommorow’s tips taken from the Beat The Lotto (£) thread.

2.20 Downpatrick Willyouwalkwithme @ 11-2
It will be tricky to beat Uncle Gerhard today and the safe bet would be betting without the favourite. But I believe my course specialist will sit in behind Ingenous Stroke before taking it up just over halfway and hopefully will slip enough of a lead to hold off the favourite.
3.05 York Mandoob @ 9-4
Mandoob and Kemari are the only proven stayers in the field but with Kemari having been off the track since January, I am expecting my selection to edge this in what on paper looks a tight contest.
4.35 Sandown Findono @ 11-2
FINDONO is the only 4yo in the race so has to give weight for age to all of his 11 rivals in this race, but has finished third on both of his starts, so he clearly has ability, whilst Jamie Spencer is just the jockey to navigate what could prove to be a tricky draw in Stall 12. (Robmull)

[Mike]

Hi
Thanks gents and unless there are any late entries the selections will be as follows 🙂

Goalpost selections
Belgium to beat Wales + both teams to score @ 11-4
Germany to win both halves @ 12-5
Ireland v Scotland to draw @ 2-1
Winningpost selections
2.20 Downpatrick Willyouwalkwithme @ 11-2
3.05 York Mandoob @ 9-4
4.35 Sandown Findono @ 11-2

The lottery numbers will be 4,5,14,27,31 and 47

I will be transferring these tip into the relevant tips sections on the main page with a few extra notes on my flights of fancy. But fear not we will be resetting the whole site when the gliches are ironed out and only the tops tips will remain on view. 🙂
