Couldn't pick in the 2.25 between Captain Chris, Medermit or Nadiya De La Vega.

Captain Chris is well fancied in the RP, Price Wise selection too. Hobbs rates him as better than Wishful Thinking, which won well at Cheltenham last Saturday.
Medermit was just short of top class over hurdles and should make a good chaser.
Nadiya De La Vega is game as they come, nothing was gonna stop her winning at Kempton LTO. This demands more but her allowance and courage will definitely count for a lot.

Moose Moran is being thrown into these hurdles... Might have worked throwing Master Minded at the fences when he was labouring at Ascot the other week, but I don't think aggressively riding a horse into hurdles on his hurdling debut would be the best strategy from Mr McCoy.

Wasn't a great first run over obstacles, wouldn't give up with it yet. Looks like the one to blow my acca though.

Sprinter Sacre wins easily.

Burnley, Sheff Wed, Rotherham, Birmingham, Man Utd 8/1.

Two sucessful lines on the footy last week along with a duff horse choice, so we'll leave the horses this week and go for:-

Man Utd, Torquay, Northampton 4/1
Man Utd, Torquay, Northampton, Leeds, Hull 16/1.

Very impressive ... as opposed to Binocular who again made hard work of winning the Contenders Hurdle.

Re: Betting Chat : Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:09 pm  

Binocular can be lazy though, a good race will bring the best out of him. Like Hurricane Fly, the stronger the gallop, the faster they jump, the better he goes.
Today was a muddling little race, he maybe didn't jump as well as usual.

Bloody hell, how poor was Barizan? He's a better horse than that, surely?

Re: Betting Chat : Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:10 pm  

Looked like loose horse shafted Frankie Figg's chances . With Midnight Drive winning & Captain Chris 2nd that would have been a nice little earner (although admittedly there was a way to go but appeared to be going well up front).

Re: Betting Chat : Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:38 pm  

Did a stupid acca this morning

Moose Moran 4/5
Binocular 4/5
Sprinter Sacre 1/3
Lord Ragner 1/1
Oscar Whisky 1/6
Shoegazer 1/1
Valley lad 11/10
Wayward Prince 1/1

3 1sts, a 2nd and a no show from Moose Moran so far. My £1 went well!

Villa
Everton
City
Spurs (1/2 With Ladbrokes yesterday :O :O :O )
Blackburn
Pompey
Hull
£1 pays £57.96
Plymouth
Carlisle
Oldham
Yeovil
£2 pays £41.80

Had a placepot of favourites at Lingfield that was ousted by a race with 2 placings and a dodgy joint favourite rule!
