Hi
It was a good start to the afternoon when Hello Jumeirah won comfortably advised and taken at 5-1. However when it came to the long shot Woodstream Lad he ran ok but hurdled badly as was eased down along way out. It was a case of the right race as the first three home were priced up at 66-1 50-1 and 22-1 but wrong horse…lol. This means at best we wiped are nose today, but at least didn’t lose any money.
We have a few for Sunday but for tomorrow will concentrate on the beat the lotto thread.

Hi
Just a quick update (as I am currently at work). Wassini Lad is a non runner and Bundle Of Dreams is available at 28-1 for 8 places. That one is a possible but with Woodstream Lad being offered in the each way extra markets we will take the following.
25-1 for 8 places
30-1 for 7 places
For the foolish such as I he is also available at 40-1 for 6 places.

Hi
I finally have a couple of runners tomorrow which surprisingly (for me) includes a tip for the flat.
We will start there with Hello Jumeirah @ 5-1 who runs in the 4.00 at Ascot.
This one was a big fancy of mine at Haydock last week but ended up being a non runner. The same yard won that race quite comfortably with its other runner on the day and I beleive this one will gain compensation tomorrow.
For my next trick I will apologise now as I quite fancy Woodstream Lad @ 100-1 in the 5.50 at Kilbeggan. I would obviously recommend backing this one for extra places or at the very least bet without the favourite/s. This is a very weak race and apart from the favourite there is very little form on offer.The selection has just had a warm up run on the flat and although well beaten the form of that race has worked out well. They have gone with a decent jockey booking and the 100-1 looks overpriced.
Wassini Island 50-1 goes in the 5.35 at Cork and Bundle Of Dreams 150-1 goes in the 5.20 at Kilbeggan but both of these will definately be each way extra bets if we take them on.
I will update thread on the Irish runners lunchtime tomorrow. 🙂

Hi Joe
Thanks for that, and for all those that missed the last few posts on the main threads we will running a ‘Beat The Lotto’ competition this weekend. I know it’s bit early, but there is a bit of footie around especially as the Womens Euro’s will have started and we have a decent selection of Race meetings and some Rugby, Golf and Tennis available. 🙂
The Rules are the same as the test competition in the previous posts. One selection per active member plus one lucky number (not 27 as JoeH has put that up).
You have to be in it to win it. You do need to make a selection that can be used in a multiple bet and that is being played or run over the weekend. If you have not signed up and/or been accepted by Friday the membership will be closing down, so do reply to any membership application replies that have or are been sent out a.s.a.p.  🙂

Hi
Runway Queen fell three out when still in contention, but would never have won the race. I will be keeping this one in the notebook though, especially when over the longer trip and not such a sharp track.
There is nothing of interest on this thread for me until Friday so I will be dabbling on the other threads until then. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Apologies for late update car problems and then Ask The Chimneys became a non runner so I decided not to have a punt at all today. Then bet365 offered 100-1 for 4 places on Runway Queen and being pathetically weak willed I took it. Runway Queen is not going to win this, but as she was running on last time out, over a shorter trip, she just might grab fourth if a couple of these do not run to form.

Hi
Unfortunately I could not stay awake to watch the finish as old age does not come alone. 🙁 However I am glad to report that in the end Chris Gotterup finished a very creditable 4th which means all three of our bets returned a profit. 🙂

125-1 1/5 odds each way 8 places = profit of +24 points
75-1 1/5 odds each way 12 places (no cash out option) = profit of +14 points
100-1 1/5 odds each way 5 places first round leader = profit of +125 points

This makes a rather tasty return in total of +163 points. We try to avoid mentioning cash on this site and the returns here are calculated at a simple 1 point each way bet.

I am obviously on cloud nine as these are the bets you live for and combined with an decent shout on the Winning Post Tips thread at the weekend it has been a nice few days at the office. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
It is getting interesting at the moment as with just a few holes to go our man Chris is now tied for third place which would bring both of our outstanding bets in for place money.  🙂
However, should the front two leaders have a panic attack we are statistcally still in with a chance of a win.
Anyone fancy the 4,000-1 for that to happen. ???…lol.

[Mike]

Hi
It was nice to get one in today as Morepowertoya won and having been advised last night at 20-1 then backed this morning at 18-1 it turned out to be a cracking shout.  🙂
We do not have much on then, until most likely the big race next Friday at Kilbeggan. We do however have a couple of huge longshots to be used in the extra markets (if they run) tomorrow night at Roscommon.

6.00 Ask The Chimneys 100-1
6.30 Runway Queen 100-1

We will be waiting until the non runners and extra markets are declared before deciding on the above, but at present Runway Queen is a possibility, if we can get an extra place or edge somewhere.

[Mike]

Hi Joe
Thanks for the message always appreciated 🙂
I hope you get to join in the Beat The Lotto (£) next weekend, but no pressure you have always been a part of the site so your contact details will be whitelisted. We can’t afford to lose you. !

[Mike]

Hi
Elle Dorado Rock is a non runner but still leaves eight in the field so the three places are still on offer. We have now missed the 20-1 but will take the following bet, as it still offers some value.

Tramore 2.00 Morepowertoya @ 18-1

For future reference we have decided to remove/restrict the membership as the plug in is still causing minor issues. So if anyone is interested in joining in please sign up before the weekend. We wil be running the Beat The Lotto (£) thread this weekend so it is a perfect opportunity to do so.  🙂

Hi
Hello Jumeirah was a non runner and I wish I Elegant Lass had been as having been up with the leaders she went to pieces two out and finshed out with the washing. 🙁
I have a handful of runners for tomorrow to keep an eye on but all are running in the same maiden race at Tramore. This makes tipping one up near impossible but of Open The Gate, College Causeway, Elle Dorado Rock and Morepowertoya we will keep an eye on the latter.
The race is the 2.00 and assuming at least 8 runners stay in the race we will be going for Morepowertoya currently on offer at 20-1. We will update this in the morning when the non runners have been declared.

[Mike]

Hi
I finally have a few days off now and hopefully have a few decent shouts for Sunday but as for tomorrow we have just the two.

Haydock 2.05 Hello Jumeirah @ 12-1 for 5 places
Bellewstown 5.35 Elegant Lass @ 40-1 for 6 places

We are on a bit of a roll this week and have just had a 100-1 winner on the ‘Other Sports’ thread and hopefully will attempt a decent priced wager over here as soon as the Irish NH season restarts. 🙂
In the meantime an extra each way double might be worth a punt on the above selections.
Hello Jumeirah has some solid form and is stepping up in trip on her handicap debut hails from the very shrewd Haggas yard and has Danny Tudhope doing the steering.
Elegant Lass pops up from time to time and I believe a return to Bellewstown where she is one from one might just do the trick. If nothing else she is overpriced and should be there or thereabouts.

Hi
Well better born lucky than rich (they tell me) 🙂 Bet 365 paid out early doors on our first bet.
100-1 1/5 odds each way 5 places first round leader

He is currently struggling (playing in the sand) on the tenth, but with two rounds to go we may still have a half decent shout for our other two wagers.

125-1 1/5 odds each way 8 places
75-1 1/5 odds each way 12 places (no cash out option)

It is really nice when 100-1 shots win  🙂 but do remember, they are not a regular occurance.

[Mike]

Hi
Thanks Joe, now they are running again its nice to get a couple in the frame at a decent price. We just need to get one home now.  🙂
General Clermont advised at 30-1 picked us up a nice few points again today, but in fairness more or less just did what we predicted and got involved without threatening to win.
We do have a couple for Saturday, but as I have a lot on tonight and have a busy day at work tomorrow we will have to give Friday a miss.  🙁
