Hi
Well if yesterday was a good day at the office for Hopefull’s thread today was a cracker. The “Rolling Maul” wager had two winners and came out with a +4.88 profit. The icing on the cake however was Love Your Work winning at 25-1 in the last bet of the day. This turned the “Each Way” section of the selections into a +30.6 point profit making a +35.48 point profit on the day.

13:42 AYR Crest Of Fortune @ 5-4 Won
14:17 AYR Dance Thief @ 9-2
16:20 HEREFORD Greatness Awaits @ 5-4 Won
E/W AND PLACE
17:05 WHAMPTON-AW Monsieur Beaulieu @ 8-1 for 4 places Placed
20:00 CHELMSFORD-AW Love Your Work @ 25-1 for 4 places Won

I will not be around a lot tomorrow so will post tomorrow’s prices tonight but it’s a hats off to Hopefull day today and well done for sticking with it. It has not always been plain sailingbut I am sure Hopefull is now on top this not just because of today but if you have been following the thread there is no comparison between the early weeks of this thread and the last ten days or so.

7:20 NAAS Switch From Diesel @ 13-8
E/W AND PLACE
16:58 WARWICK Duke Of Deception @ 5-1

Hi
Batman Girac trailed in last 57 lengths behind the field and Queen Of Seduction pulled up for the second time in a row and we could be in spot of bother there. We have one non runner tomorrow and all three of the remaining selections run against each other in the 3.10 at Naas.
King Of The Bronx @ 14-1
Seskin Flash @ 14-1
Comanche Moon @ 10-1
Fortuntely there are 6 places on offer and we have BOG (Best Odds Guaranteed) on all the runners.

Hi
Its been a bit like that lately, but with Grimaud winning along with Innatendue and Joya Del Mar placing we would have wiped our nose on the day so it looks like its all eyes on Cheltenham next week unless I have missed something. ?

[Mike]

Hi
Although there were no returns all of the above ran well and were worth a try as wild card wagers

Gowran Park 2.10 Bop Won’t Stop 20-1 (placed 5th without Grimaud)
Gowran Park 3.15 Cozone @ 25-1 for 5 places (finished 8th of 20 runners at 33-1)
Gowran Park 4.25 Dutch Shultz @ 20-1 for 4 places (placed 5th we needed 4th)

We probably will not be back until the festival next week now where we will be mainly on the threads mentioned on the previous post.

[Mike]

Hi
We have placed quite a few reasonably sensible wagers on the threads such as Speed Ratings Irish Hurdlers , Hopefull’s (hard work) & Ridiculous Ideas for 2025 but have been asked to put a few fun wild card wagers up and these are the best we can come up with today that have not been used on the above mentioned threads. These selections have had input from both Suds and Hopefull who rarely post on the main thread but it can be a daunting task so if they lose it’s my fault for posting them but if they run well its down to the team…lol.

Gowran Park 2.10 Bop Won’t Stop 20-1 but @ 14-1 without Grimaud
Gowran Park 3.15 Cozone @ 25-1 for 5 places
Gowran Park 4.25 Dutch Shultz @ 20-1 for 4 places

Hi
Even though unbelievably “That’ll Do Moss” lost (eventual SP 1-10) by using the Rolling Maul it rather played into our hands and made for a good day at the office for Hopefull yesterday. The Maul made a profit of albeit only a point or so due to rule 4 deductions on the 7.30 at Dundalk but the each way wagers made a +10.4 point profit due to Nobody’s Perfect winning taken at 12-1.
Here are todays prices for Hopefull’s list of selections today.

13:42 AYR Crest Of Fortune @ 5-4
14:17 AYR Dance Thief @ 9-2
16:20 HEREFORD Greatness Awaits @ 5-4
E/W AND PLACE
17:05 WHAMPTON-AW Monsieur Beaulieu @ 8-1 for 4 places
20:00 CHELMSFORD-AW Love Your Work @ 25-1 for 4 places

[Mike]

Hi
Strechemout placed, Kp’s Ladyofknock was a non runner and the other two lost so dropped a few points on the day. But we will go in again with a similar bet tomorrow over at Gowran Park.

2.10 Grimaud @ 7-5
2.40 Innatendue @ 11-2
3.15 Love Me @ 9-1 for 5 places
3.50 Joya Del Mar 7-1 but 6-1 for 7 places looks the best option

[Mike]

Hi
After Tremaine lost the other day we were getting close to the bread line on the thread and after Jaz Forever and Miss Mini Bee lost and Alright Darling scraped a place we are once again staring down both barrels of the gun at only +3.5 points up. We have two going tomorrow and four on Sunday and if we cannot get something in the frame we will be in trouble. Here are tomorrows selections.

Sandown 2.25 Batman Girac @ 10-1 for 5 places
Gowran Park 3.50 Queen Of Seduction 40-1 but 33-1 for 7 places looks the best option

[Mike]

Hi
Now the professionals have placed their bets I will fill in the gaps…lol.

Gowran Park 2.40 Whimsy @ 7-4
Ayr 2.50 Lavida Advida @ 11-4
Hereford 4.55 Gaelic Saint @ 9-4
Ireland -1.5 to beat France @ 1-1
Shane Lowry to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational @ 3-1
Man City to beat Nottingham Forest @ 10-11

The lottery numbers will be 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

[Mike]

Hi
Yesterday was a prefect example of why its nearly impossible to make a profit everyday. Chuzzlewhit without the favourites would have been a winner but the favourites flipped over after we had placed the bet. The point being that to do this with purpose you really have to be available right up to half an hour before each race to watch for market moves. But such is life and here are todays prices.

14:30 AYR Thatll Do Moss @ 1-5
14:50 LEICESTER Fortunefavorsdbold @ 15-8
15:00 AYR My Kiwi Girl @ 2-7
19:30 DUNDALK-AW Valiant Force @ 10-3
E/W AND PLACE
15:10 EXETER Mostly Sunny @ 20-1 for 4 places
16:40 AYR Leading Force @ 14-1
16:50 EXETER Nobodys Perfect @ 12-1 for 4 places

[Mike]

Hi
We are going to go with a hat full of no hoper’s at Thurles today which are as follows

3.30 Love At Sea @ 7-2 without Yoradreamer
4.00 Kp’s Ladyofknock @ 6-1
4.30 Stretchemout @ 5-1 without Beckinstine
5.00 Lady Of The Locke @ 10-3 without Rushmount

Each way doubles and an accumulator look the likeliest option but any return would do…lol.

[Mike]

Hi “Hopefull”
A profit everyday ? now that is the “Holy Grail” but the way your going I would not bet against it…lol.
If you could make a profit every week it would be amazing we set a target of a monthly profit on the site which we have managed but I will admit that has been a struggle sometimes.
All the best for today’s selections and here are the prices but option B involves moving a selction or two around to a larger maul bet.

14:10 FONTWELL Walk On High @ 6-5
17:00 THURLES Crossing The Bar 8-1 but option B @ 3-1 without Rushmount & Betty Dutton
14:50 WINCANTON Miss Altea Blue @ 1-1
19:00 NEWCASTLE-AW Chuzzlewit 8-1 but option B @7-2 without Dembe & Mr Mistoffelees

[Mike]

Hi
Nice to see that it was just a blip yesterday as Hopefull had all three of the rolling maul bets in today which worked as listed below. There were no option B’s so all of the bets had BOG (Bets Odds Guaranteed) attached.

14:12 LINGFIELD-AW Big Sip @ 4-11 Won 1 point = +0.36
15:55 CATTERICK Hostile Hotelier @ 2-1 2 points =+4 = +4.36
16:22 KEMPTON-AW One Horse Town @ (7-4) 3 points 9-4 = +6.75 = + 11.11

The each way bet lost so that makes for a +9.11 point profit on the day. I have posted early in case I do not get a chance later. but well done for sticking with it Hopefull I think we have finally cracked it (Oops.. I just jinxed it again)..lol.

[Mike]

Hi
I had to go and jinx it by saying the thread was on a nice little run but hopefully yesterday was just a blip the option B would have given a 14-1 place on Glory Fighter but would still have dropped over 4 points on the day. Here are todays “International Rescue” (its an age thing) selections and prices…lol.

14:12 LINGFIELD-AW Big Sip @ 4-11
15:55 CATTERICK Hostile Hotelier @ 2-1
16:22 KEMPTON-AW One Horse Town @ 7-4
E/W AND PLACE
16:12 LINGFIELD-AW Rabinal @ 10-1 for 4 places

[Mike]

Hi
Another profitable day which brought up the hat trick so its hats off to Hopefull. Whichever way you played the selctions you would have come out on top as after the option B selection came in without the favourite/s Flash Du Pistolet then won so it was a win win situiation on the maul wager.
Option A
-1 first bet
+6.5 second bet Flash Du Pistolet with 1 point @ 13-2
= +5.5 Points
Option B
+ 1.75 Extraordinary Man
+ 9 Flash Du Pistolet 2 points @ 9-2
= +10.75 Points
You would have dropped -2.20 on the each way wagers but all in all the thread is a nice little run. Here are todays prices.

15:52 NEWCASTLE-AW Glory Fighter @ 14-1 (Option B would be to make this an each way selection).
17:00 SOUTHWELL-AW Bownder @ 9-2
18:00 SOUTHWELL-AW One More Dream @ 4-1
18:30 SOUTHWELL-AW Vaguely Royal @ 4-1
E/W AND PLACE
16:30 SOUTHWELL-AW Mayor Of Maghera @ 12-1
