hmph.

Cinders and Ashes was written down next to Galileos Choice in the first race on my notepad. I changed my mind/didnt bother.

At least my placepot is going (2/3 Cinders and Ashes and Darlan - Galileos Choice was dissapointing) AND I had a small each way on the third placed horse. But I am still a bit miffed.

They are very bullish mate! They have sorted his jumping out and I think it's got a great chance.

I'm of the opinion that Long Run and Kauto might not be at their best for this race. I've been looking for a horse which is a fair price for an each way bet. Midnight Chase I thought was a fair ew bet last year but was incredibly dissapointing. The race requires pace and he likes to lead - esp at Cheltenham where you could consider him to be a course specialist. There may have been niggling problems though. I remember something being said about him so I might have to do a bit of research.

Oh and the Gifford yard have a very talented horse called Utopian. One to watch out for. Next appearance may be at Aintree in the bumper at the National meeting.

Fruity o'rooney might be a good ew bet.

Remember 12 of the last 13 winners have carried weights of 10-12 or less. A big negative for 4 out of the first 5 in the betting: Quantitiveasing, Hold on Julio, Our Mick and Tullamore Dew. The Package being the exception.

But as Ted Walsh said about stats: Horses can't read...

2.40 - The Package 6/1 to win

3.20 - Hurricane Fly 8/11 E/W

4.00 - Sizing Australia 9/2 to win

£5.00 on the wins, 2.00 on the E/W.

My bets for today :D

Ted Walsh is wrong. Horses can read. Alfie Sherrin 10-0.

Fruity got second. That'll do I suppose. The Package got fourth (both are in lucky 63s ew and my placepot). Oh and I had a microscopic ew bet on Our Mick as well (3rd). Where the f#ck did Alfie Sherrin come from?

Makes you laugh, JJ and JP should be asked where the sudden improvement in this horse has come from.

Someone's put £110k on Hurricane Fly to win lol ridiculous.

I need it to win. Don't mock them...

Anyone else had a very small cheeky ew on Overturn? 25/1 earlier.

Good lad. How much did you have on it?

not much. not enough. should have put more on... hahaha

I'm doing quite well for big price second places so far.

Hurricane Fly in a place does me ok. Placepot still going. Also had it on my l63. Obviously place terms is microscopic but it continues.

I would laugh but for e/w on overturn, fair play! How much did you put on?

Hurricane Fly was the weak choice with regards to the short priced favourites today. Whenever bookies advertise prices and encourage certain types of bets- look into it. There is a reason. Hurricane Fly winning would have been preferred for my l63 but they were ew so I'm ok. The third for my ppot was good as well.

Overturn - McCains horses are doing well at the moment. I'm also a fan of it. The crucial factor is its a front runner. Front runners as you might have noticed are doing well today (Fruity o'rooney).

Scotts Irish in the cross country. Went the wrong way earlier in the season, jockey eventually got the sat nav going, and it finished strongly. Finished fourth that day. Travelling like it was a contender. Same weight as well. Ric Flair on here knows a bit about Mullins yard. I think he may have mentioned its chances.

Charlie Brooks arrested. Haha. Perverting the course of justice.

edit: Allegedly. ALLEGEDLY

Also a 7 day ban for Jamie Moore for whip use on Fruity O'Rooney.

My wife needs Our Girl Salley to place in the next to scoop the placepot.

She picks them on names, she had....

1) Duran

2) Cue Card

3) Our Mick

4) Rock on ruby

5) Balthazar King

6) Our Girl Salley

No single bets though on any which is a shame. So finger crossed for the placepot.
