Lumped on Reality Show in the 9.10 @ Haydock. Hmm could've ran a hell of alot better race.

Re: More betting here : Fri May 28, 2010 9:23 pm  

Does anyone have a jockey, trainer, or both that you just can't seem to do the right thing and win with??

Always pay close attention to anything the Fahey yard has at any Northern track...followed him when I went to York a few weeks back (without success) and again tonight at Ponte (again without success)

Backed Paul Hanagan in 3 consecutive races tonight (2 for Fahey) then for some bizarre reason just as the words were coming out of my mouth to back him again I had a change of heart and backed against it. The very second I walked away with the printed ticket in my hand I knew what was gonna happen...he went onto win the race at 5's (6's) when I was putting my bet on!

I just never seem to be able to back those two at the right time!

Robinson Cruso in the last didn't half get me out of the sticky stuff!

15:20 Newmarket
Swilly Ferry - Interesting runner for Barry Hills, he's had just the two starts this season and both have been over course and distance (behind Pastoral Player in April and behind Jack My Boy on Guineas weekend). His first start he got no sort of run when hampered and finishing 2nd of 14 in his group with a decent speed figure for a race of this nature . Swilly Ferry saw too much daylight last time out when running behind Jack My Boy - he could do with getting more cover which he should get in the large field at Newmarket today with the form of the two races working out well enough and an extra pull at the weights with both Pastoral Player and Jack My Boy who've both gone up for their two Newmarket runs and with the helping hand from Michael Hills and with plenty of pace drawn low he should be able to get a decent tow into the race behind horses so as not to use up too much energy pulling.

Advice: 2pts Win, 1pt Place @ 20/1 (Ladbrokes)

I never back anything that Hanagan rides anymore. I've seen him ride too many good horses poorly for my liking so decided to give him a miss. It's definitely paid off not backing him recently, he's been woeful on a few rides and it's always nice to see when his ride allows the one I've backed to win!

Back to Beverley again tomorrow, have a few fancies but not had an in depth look yet. Anybody else like the look of anything?

King Of Swords in the last is slipping back down to near a winning mark mate, could run a decent race at an e/w price...

Re: More betting here : Sat May 29, 2010 11:17 am  

Lord Shanakill should win today. Main Aim has the talent but also is very quirky and finds trouble in running. Lord Shanakill is very capable and looked as good as ever on his first start for Henry Cecil last month, dropping down to 7f should play to his pace as well.


Short price but Carraiglawn will take all the beating in Ireland for the Bolger and Manning team. Has looked a winner waiting to happen twice and they seem to have found the perfect opportunity.

Wigan +6pts the call today.

Leeds have picked up of late but on sound surfaces. The rain may work against them and in theory (and looking at the league table) Wigan are the better side. The start makes them an attractive proposition.
