MikeKeymasterHi
Having non runners when things are not going to plan can sometimes seem like a blessing but I always find it disappointing. We have lost both of last nights bets and are now left with the wager on Big Dispute and a last resort bet builder in on the 3.50Humble Brag for a top 4 finish
Maxicourt for a top 8 finishThis one comes out at the usual 1 point bet at 11-5
MikeKeymasterHi
Big Dispute has been taken @ 9-2 for 4 places which just leaves the bet builder but the prices are still not up and I have to pop out but hopefully will get a chance to finalise today’s wagers by lunchtime.
MikeKeymasterHi
Whats New placed but unfortunately so did Portanhapple but at least it was a nominal 0.05 profit as opposed to a loss. This puts us on -3.01 overall and it looks as though we might have (what could be) a make or break day tomorrow over at Cork.2.05 Big Dispute 7-1
3.15 Speakasyoufind @ 33-1 for 4 places
3.50 Humble Brag 10-3
3.50 Maxicourt 22-1
5.00 Journey So Far @ 16-1 for 6 placesWe have gone straight in with Speakasytoufind as this one is a “To Follow” horse and we have taken the 16-1 for 6 places on Journey So Far as that looks generous. The two in the 3.50 are likely to be a bet builder but as usual we will update the others when the extra markets come out.
MikeKeymasterHi
As I continue to get beaten up with only one of the last batch placing I lost another -3.05 on the day leaving us on – 3.06 overall and when your looking for a break having only one runner going and up against two smart horses it is not looking good.
The horse is Whats New and he runs in the in the 1.22 at Killarney North Shore looks the real deal and Portnahapple is a Mullins talking horse who could be the real deal. But it is what it is and we will try Whats New each way @ 11-2 without North Shore (in the desperate hope Portnahapple finds it all a bit much first time over hurdles).
The obvious bet is without both but that would not give us an each way price.
MikeKeymasterHi
Apologies for late posting but I have been down with a virus and fell asleep…lol. But better late than never.Nottingham 2.50 Valkyrie Storm @ 2-1

MikeKeymasterHi
Not an ideal situation to be in today as its now backs against the wall time so we have played the following 4x 1/2 point each way options. We have had a few drifters and the hope is that one of them will get a win and most of the others get a return.Chester 4.20 Hamsiyaan @ 9-2 for 7 places
Downpatrick 5.35 Fool Me Once @ 25-4 for 8 places
Downpatrick 6.35 A Snow White Park @ 9-2 4 places
Downpatrick 7.05 Struck Oil @ 9-2 for 4 places
MikeKeymasterHi
Surprisingly although I only got one of the each way extra places in for a loss on the day of -2.3 points I was actually happy enough as Crypto Crash was only a length of placing at 40-1.
The bad news is I am now -0.01 for the thread and have four possibilities going tomorrow which will take a bit of looking into as three are “Each Way Extra’s” of which one is running at Chester and one who was a “To Follow” horse but has now gone chasing before winning over hurdles which has set the cat amongst the pigeons.Chester 4.20 Hamsiyaan 6-1 for 5 places
Downpatrick 5.35 Fool Me Once 12-1 for 5 places
Downpatrick 6.35 A Snow White Park 9-2 4 places
Downpatrick 7.05 Struck Oil 2-1I am happy enough with most of the prices but will be hanging around for more options before going in and will update later or tomorrow.
MikeKeymasterHi Steve
Great shout with Devious Devan @ 16-1 it looks like all the hard work and patience paid off.
MikeKeymasterHi
I still cannot get any bet builder options on my two “Rags” so will also go in on both with 1/2 point each way @ 12-1 for 10 places.
This could be a bad day at the office…..lol.
MikeKeymasterHi
I am out this later this morning and with little happening in the extra markets the 40-1 being offered for 5 places on both horses is tempting enough to take on at 1/2 point each way. I will try and get on for the bet builder if the chance arises but will be looking for both for 10 places.
MikeKeymasterHi
Well we did a good impression of Custer at the Little Bighorn last time out with all four bets going down and duly dropping 4 points which takes us all the way down to +2.29. This is probably going to be compounded tomorrow as the two runners we have at Down Royal are both on paper no hoper’s.
They are both in the same race and if both lose we will sink into a minus for the first time. This is especially concerning as in last years thread Ridiculous Ideas for 2025 at the start of May we were over +30 points up.Down Royal 2.10 Crypto Crash 33-1
Down Royal 2.10 Leitzel 40-1Crypto Crash looks the bets of the two at the weights but we stick with both as the system puts them both up as “Extra Market” bets. We will update as soon as we have some prices.
MikeKeymasterHi
A bit of a damp squib to finish the competition off with no one scoring any points on the last day but such is life. It has however given me the chance to try out a competition to put up to the other sites later in the year (assuming no one takes up the original TTF competition).
Here are the final totals for the overall competition.
Mgame +268.97
Joe +244.96
Suds +231.40
Rob +224.77
As for the cash (side) competition (winnings on there way).
Suds +£44.88
Mgame +£16.25
As Mgame is actually now also linked with another site it might be we can work a joint venture out next time but who knows. There competition ended at Aintree and was run along the original TTF format but there must be a compromise somewhere. ?
In the meantime I am obliged to everyone who joined in and just sorry I could not get any rival sites to join or take on but maybe with a bit more planning and notice it might be possible next time around.
MikeKeymasterHi
Not that it will effect the competition winner but for bragging rights the only other runner today is Jade De Grugy who takes on Wodhooh in the 4.15.
Rob, Joe & Myself are on Jade De Grugy but only Rob & Joe could benefit position wise.
Matin Midi Et Soir rounds the competition off in the 4.55 all obviously at Punchestown.
MikeKeymasterHi Suds
I forgot to mention I had taken Matin Midi Et Soir @ 7-1 last night. -
