IIIIIIII HAVE A DREE............... THEORY!

Yeah. I have a theory.

The Green and Yellow theory (No manc green and gold shite)

Jockeys with Green/Yellow silks have finished in the top three in something like 8, out of the last 10 Nationals.

So with that in mind, I went out earlier today, and spent £70.

I put £10 on the nose of all seven starters in green/yellow silks.

Winner coming home at the odds I took @ 14/1. So I doubled my money.

We-hey !

Green/Yellow.

Works for me almost every year.

Well done winners

Was on Killyglen myself at 66/1, was travelling really nicely out front with Ballabriggs until he fell with 3 or 4 left, if he ran again next year he'd be worth backing.

well its national week and i've got my 4 horses for big one

ballabriggs to place. as always i do the previous winner to place but e/w is probably more logical
west end rocker to win
chicago grey to place
according to pete to place (this ones a longshot by the way probably not going to do it)

Waterloo Phil · « **Reply #181 on:** April 10, 2012, 10:52:07 am »

All sorted for Thursday again. cant wait only downfall at the minute looks to be the weather.

For the National im on

Ballabriggs
SunnyHillBoy
Cappa Bleu.

Had a little look at Thursdays card fancy a couple but ill have a proper look tonight.

INABITSKI · « **Reply #182 on:** April 10, 2012, 12:23:02 pm »

Got 4 for the win and 4 each way odds. one of those is above Ballabriggs.

Might pick out one or two more on the day see what I fancy.

Red Viper · « **Reply #183 on:** April 10, 2012, 01:58:20 pm »

Can't bloody wait for this. Gonna go balls deep on West End Rocker and Chicago Grey.

Undecided on the rest as of yet.

Djibriliant · « **Reply #184 on:** April 10, 2012, 02:30:31 pm »

I expect Calgary Bay to go the distance so I'll be backing each way.

aggerdid · « **Reply #188 on:** April 10, 2012, 10:52:32 pm »

right lets talk about free bets. what free bets can i get that can be doubled up within 24 hours (so the free bets aren't recieved after settlement) and can be placed on the same event?

paddypower 50 (for placing 50)
coral 50 (for placing 50)
bluesq 25 (for placing 25)
totesport 20 (for placing 10)
boylesports 40 (for placing 20)

Marty 85 · « **Reply #189 on:** April 11, 2012, 03:45:40 pm »

Off tomorrow so i'll be nicely settled for agood days racing. Been looking at the cards and here's my picks:

1400 - Big bucks with an ew bet on Poungach.

1430 - Pearl Swan. Fell last time out but there'll be value there.

1505 - Burton Port but i'll keep an eye on the prices. Tough race with Henderson having 3 runners. I backed Riverside theatre most of last year but wrote him off my docket at Cheltenham. Hope i don't regret again.

1540 - Cloudy Lane with an ew bet on Sizing America

415 - Tanks for that.

450 - Pepite Rose

525 - Gullinbursti

Fontaine · « **Reply #190 on:** April 11, 2012, 04:38:37 pm »

The most interesting race of the meet is the 15:05 tomorrow is you ask me.

Riverside Theatre vs Burton Port vs Medermit vs Hunt ball.

Burton Port regular at this distance and has an advantage there
Riverside & Medermit first time at this distance so an unknown, but both ran cracking races at the Cheltenham shorter distance.
Hunt Ball ran this distance starting out and didn't really set the world alight, but connections fancy him for the Gold Cup Distance which is just over this.

My money is on Hunt Ball €50w @ 6/1. Also just did Hunt Ball Ante post for the Gold Cup next year €40w @ 25/1

Going on Friday for a mate's birthday, should be decent! What are some decent websites for tips/predictors that i can use on me phone? racinguk.com's app seems alright i think, but looking for some other options? Cheers.

I have done mine online, just due to the odds coming right down on many. I only use Bet365 and Ladbrokes but chosen between the two on who given the best value.

I'm doing most of my national bets online, just so if I win I don't blow it all on the night out in Liverpool.

Will probably bet on a few on the day as well.

Already stuck a £10 free bet on Seabass as its drifted to 20/1, seems a good price considering it's form and the fact it's strongest on heavy/soft ground.
