Having a bet on Big Zeb with the money I won yesterday. 4/6. Can't see old enemy Golden Silver reversing the form. For a horse that used to jump very sketchily, that is no more for Big Zeb. Since he was well beaten in the Tingle Creek he has jumped excellently in every race since and that is now probably his biggest asset. Should be a lot fitter now than last time and looks as though he should take this in his stride.

The Moscow Flyer novice hurdle looks one to leave alone IMO, could go to just about any of them.

Big Bucks is now around 4/5 with most firms after yesterday, Grands Crus 3/1 2nd fave.

Great, only thing I want this year is to get a not too skinny price on BB.
Hopefully it will still be there come the day.

Restless Harry is general 33/1 for the World Hurdle but touches 44/1 with 32red.

Can't see Harry winning (famous last words) but maybe placing.

Raptor of Mullins lot is well thought of in the 3.20 at Punchestown 9/4

Big Zeb FML. Don't usually have a go at the jockey but Geraghty went for home far too soon, he should have known from last time the horse was knackered going over the line, it needs kept as long as possible.

This weekend has been a giant case of one step forward followed by two directly back.

Re: Betting Chat : Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:01 pm  

Gagewell Flyer just did it in the big novice race, although anybody who had a big bet on him would've been slightly nervous when they seen Mullins' second-string flying for the line.

Re: Betting Chat : Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:30 pm  

I could cry after that from the Mullins horse at Punchestown. Terrible, awful day.

Mullins horse thwarted me in the first, won plenty back, and a Mullins horse thwarts me in the 320. Jesus Christ.

Lost stupid money this weekend.

Nightmare weekend I haven't had for many months, making me wonder if its even worth having a go.

Avoiding anything on all weather in future, that is where I have lost a majority of my money. So mad with myself.

The way things are going might as well have another one. Things can't get any worse, last three I've had have all been decent size losses, so might as well start next week's recovery mission straight away. Going to be back to normal next weekend, don't know why I've been so irrational and backing/laying on what I generally wouldn't bother with - the AW.

That didn't work either. After today, I hope Willie Mullins never trains another winner.

Unbelievable for Mullins, sensational tranining feat

Re: Betting Chat : Sun Jan 30, 2011 5:02 pm  

Wish I'd been backing his horses and not taking them on. What a crap day. After he won a couple I kept thinking to myself 'thats it from him for today now surely', but how wrong I was.
