MikeKeymasterHi
On a positive note thanks to bet365 but (strangely) not so much Betfair as I had all my stakes refunded on Shing Shilla from our previous race as the jockey should never have tried to remount after the flag had gone up.
As for yesterdays race although the each way extra bets would not have come in the race market predictions were pretty much spot on with the exception of Chapter Thirty.
Ma Bess 2nd
Vasda Queen 3rd
The Sugar Hill Lady 4th
Chapter Thirty (ran a stinker)
Miss Dishy 1st
Blue Mosque (Non Runner)
Hats off to Suds for picking up the baton I dropped…lol.MikeKeymasterHi
Well that went down like pork chop at a bar mitzvah with me. 🙁 Come On The Lads rider pulled up after two fences when the saddle slipped on the horse and Shin Shilla’s jockey was not even in the saddle when the starter let them go. What possessed the jockey to then remount the horse and try and make the thirty lengths he lost I will never know. But that is racing for you I have just spent two days doing all this work for nothing. 🙁
However there is a race tomorrow and Suds has decide to give it go and will post something a little bit later.MikeKeymasterHi
The predicted markets worked out really well with the notable exception of Come On The Lads currently priced up at 66-1 and Shing Shilla at 80-1. Therefore we will be looking to back both of those as each way extra’s or without the favourites when all the markets are published.
We will be looking to check for market movers overnight and will update the thread tomorrow morning. Here are tonight’s opening prices.
Mr Percy 1-1
Korea 7-2
Kazakh d’Arthel 4-4
Banana Three 11-2
Rapparee Champ 15-2
Balko D’ange 14-1
Yarraman Makarrata 20-1
Herbies Rover 25-1
Jerrari 25-1
Grey Fable 33-1
40-1 barMikeKeymasterHi Suds
I will fill in the blanks with a few weird ones but occasionally its the only way to fly.
Leinster -6 to beat Connacht @ 10-11
CHI Bulls +5.5 to beat CLE Cavaliers @ 10-11
Taylor Pendrith to win the Shriners Open @ 16-5
Brentford to beat Man Utd @ 7-2
Limerick 1.35 Banana Three @ 6-1
Fulham v Aston Villa both teams to score in both halves @ 10-1
The accumulator comes out at 5303-1 and any treble would be welcome.The lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,31 and 50
MikeKeymasterHi
In a couple of hours it will be crunch time for the market predictions and tomorrow will be the day of reckoning result wise so here goes with our top ten.

There are several flies in the ointment in this race notably Balko D’ange whose runs have been on Heavy ground and is difficult to assess (unless the heavens open up before the race). Jarrari as mentioned has not run a race yet and could be anything but this is where tomorrows post including market movers comes in. Finally there is Come On The Lads who has yes to step over an obstacle but this horse is of particular interest due to the ratings we are working on.MikeKeymasterHi
Without giving the whole game away the next step with our little trial run would be see which horses have already proven there quality by being profitable. Mr Percy, Rapparee Champ and Korea head that table.
The next obvious step is Trainer form and Balko D’age, Kazakh d’Arthel, Come On The Lads, Shing Shilla, Herbies Rover and Jarrari are in that list. The obvious two to add but separately are Korea and Mr Percy who also appear in our previous list.
Mr Percy ++
Korea ++
Rappari Champ +

Balko D’ange +
Kazakh d’Artel +
Come On The Lads +
Shing Shilla +
Herbies Rover +
This will now impact the tissue odds and for the Racing Post list you would have to make your own adjustments but I would now suggest the following update.
Banana Three TS 102 RPR 125 = 227
Balko D’ange TS 102 RPR 117 = 219 +
Kazakh d’Arthel TS 90 RPR 109 = 199 +
Korea (Joint TS+RPR rating=169) ++
Mr Percy (unrated) ++
Herbies Rover TS 85 RPR 108 = 193 +
Shing Shilla TS 83 RPR 103 = 186 +
Come On The Lads +
Rapparee Champ TS 99 RPR 118 = 217 +
Yarraman Makarrata TS 80 RPR 103 = 186
This gives us our estimated top ten using the Racing post ratings which are available to everyone so you should be able to rate your own races in future.
How you work out or award points/value to the Trainer form and profitability of a horse is down to each persons individual opinion but thats the name of the game.MikeKeymasterHi
I have been asked how the bookies make there markets up in Maiden races with little or no form to go on and in truth I don’t know…lol. But this is why we tend to dabble in said markets and attempt to form our own as they can offer the biggest opportunities if you can spot something they miss.
I will give a second estimated market which anyone can do by using the Racing Post ratings which are readily available as soon a the initial declarations are made.
In tomorrows race I would suggest that judging by there ratings the following group would head there tissue odds.
Banana Three TS 102 RPR 125 = 227
Balko D’ange TS 102 RPR 117 = 219
Rapparee Champ TS 99 RPR 118 = 217
Kazakh d’Arthel TS 90 RPR 109 = 199
Herbies Rover TS 85 RPR 108 = 193
Yarraman Makarrata TS 80 RPR 103 = 186
Shing Shilla TS 83 RPR 103 = 186
The Mullins horse Korea could well be in there as it was well fancied first time up and the unraced Jerrari plus flat raced converts Come On The Lads and Mr Percy are also candidates for the top half of the market.
I would also point out that for those starting out there is an article Forming Tissue Odds that may be of some assistance.MikeKeymasterHi Sudsie
Thanks for having a go its always tricky and usually the kiss of death when you stick your head above the trenches by posting and although it didn’t work out this time. Another Glendars finished fifth and was a huge drifter ended up 80-1 and would have be a cracking each way extra shout had you known. Also Ta Na La finished fourth which would have made the frame dependent on which you bookie you used. So no great loss as it was a straight each way treble and well worth a punt.MikeKeymasterHi
We are going to have a dabble with a new twist on one of our previous “Ridiculous Ideas” and take an 18 runner maiden hurdle race, namely the 1.35 at Limerick this Saturday which has a mix of speed ratings and attempt to price them up. The horses involved are a mix of runners which have times ranging from Flat and/or NHF form only, through to flat and hurdle times and includes one newcomer who has never seen been seen out before.
This opens up a whole new bag of worms but it should be a bit of fun if nothing else. We will adjust the markets to include market moves this time.
We have placed them in the first instance using the speed rating multiplied by the weight carried Saturday less any jockey claims (already declared).

The — dividing lines indicate the groups of horses where the times are very similar and tricky to rate. This list includes the reserves and we will update it with trainer form and going etc when the final declarations are made. The main purpose of this exercise is to determine whether you can rate a horse that has never run over hurdles before by his Flat or NH times. we have thrown Jerrari at the bottom of the middle group as he has no form to go on but rates from a decent yard.MikeKeymasterHi
Not a bad shout last time but our boy Chris Gotterup faded out of contention late on.
We have left him alone for a while but at 110-1 for 10 places bet365 he looks worth a punt this week in the “Shriners Childerens Open” with most of the big guns playing elsewhere.MikeKeymasterHi
With no premiership football on due to the international break and little or no interest lately in the thread we decided not to bother with it this week but may be back next week. Here are the results for last weeks selections.
Stormers -9 to beat Zebre @ 10-11 Won
Zach Bauchou to win the Korn Ferry Tour @ 5-4
Burnley to beat Preston +Burnley to score 0ver 1 goal @ 5-6
Newcastle to beat Everton @ 5-4
2.30 Gowran Park Apples Of Bresil @ 8-11 Won
3.05 Gowran Park Talk In The Park 3-1The lottery ticket did not win so once again we had a no score draw on our hands for the competition.
MikeKeymasterHi G
I see you left the house before posting to play safe. I knew you were only after my database…lol.
I may have taken a while to get around to compiling a database but what’s with all the emojis you will be getting a remote control for your tv next. 🙂MikeKeymasterHi
For those who followed the link or actually read the threads we put up Mount Mandela in the 2.05 at Tramore last night. He led over the last only to get mugged on the line and end up second but at the 50-1 available last night and the 10-1 for 6 places we put him up at this morning we were more than happy. 🙂
As explained in the Ridiculous Ideas thread we are considering changing the way we place tips in the future due to the lack interest in site participation but such is life.MikeKeymasterHi
As “Ridiculous Ideas” go that was not so crazy Mount Mandela came second and should have won having gone two lengths up jumping the last only to get mugged on the line. However having taken the 50-1 myself last night and put the 10-1 for 6 places up for the site I am more than happy with the outcome. 🙂
Of the + positive ratings we posted two placed one fell one was a non runner.
Shining Silver 12-1 14.58 + Fell
Mount Mandela 50-1 14.77 + Placed Second
King In Love 25-1 15.71 /14.49 + Non Runner
Truckers Cruising 11-2 15.32 /14.99 + Placed Fourth
Of the ? ones who could benefit from the jockey claim one fell one won one placed
Polly Poppins 9-2 Fell ?
Halla Paroisite 12-1 Placed Third ?
The Blaggard 4-1 Won ?
As mentioned earlier the site is going through some transition as it has become apparent that although receiving between 30-40 hits a day (when tips are posted) the lack of people actively taking part has sadly dwindled. 🙁 Whilst on the subject a big heads up goes out to Sudsie who has over the last year been there to help compile a data base of speed ratings of over a thousand Irish hurdlers which will now form the vast majority of our forthcoming wagers.
With this in mind we may remove the tips page altogether and concentrate on the articles such as these in the hope of rekindling some interest. -
