Backed Lost in the moment again to try and make a profit for the week

Watching the head on again it couldnt of had a worse run, should of won that and been in the Group 2 race before this, runs to 115 or better an it will have 10lbs in hand

Lonsdale Cup 8/1 - Blue Bajan EW

Blue Bajan is twice the price of Opinion Poll yet last time they met there was only half a length between them and Bajan had to give away 3lbs, price is wrong for me.

your not wrong with blue bajan... ran well at york last time it was there when beaten by duncan.
they were happy with its last run at goodwood too

Good luck finding the Futurity winner at the Curragh. AOB mob-handed with little separating the three - with his two yo's second/third strings often proving anything but that, as well as a couple of other smart horses from top yards.

General Miller - 3:45 Perth - 7/2

Cracking jumps race for this time of the year and some good horses have turned up. He was a very talented Novice hurdler before he went AWOL, even beating Menorah in the process now rated 150. Australia Day and Overturn will be the biggest dangers running from the front but I just don't believe they have the class to give away 15lb and 10lb respectively to General Miller. Henderson will have him ready for this race and I've got a decent bet on him.

Also had a bit on Mount Athos in the Ebor.

How in Gods name did Fame And Glory get beat by a plodder like Fictional Account?

Rated 19lb better than Fictional Account, yet he was only carrying 4lbs less. So either he has dramatically improved or O'Brien has had Fame And Glory a stone off his rating. FA has been beaten twice already this year in Ireland by F&G, who gave her more weight on those occasions than today.

O'Brien is a joke, the form of his horses of late has been absolutely rubbish.

Used to be a sure-fire way to make money, following O'Brien's big guns at short prices but this year it has been anything but that.

Liberate, like Fame And Glory, was absolutely rubbish. Thats me finished with horses for a long time now.

Never seen two worse favourites in my life.

Had one decent horse over the past week, Blue Bunting, the rest have been absolute pigs.

Got better things to waste my money on than poop like that.

3.00 Newton Abbot - Mamlook 7/1 EW 4 Places.

Hopefully the 16 run so we get the 4 places in this, Mamlook has run very well on the flat and hurdles before starting over fences early this year winning 2 novice races before a good 4th in a Grade 3 at Aintree on its fourth start chasing, its 6lbs lower from that race and would think its open to improve again.

Spurs 5/1 anybody!!??!!

Re: Betting Chat : Mon Aug 22, 2011 4:15 pm  

If I was betting I'd have a small bet on the draw.

De Gea has been very dodgy so far and could take a while to adjust and settle in.

Spurs have had extra time to prepare for the start of their season, and tonking Hearts (albeit with a good few regulars missing) will have them confident and ready for the season. Looks like Modric will be staying now too, which will be a big boost.
