Fucking stinker there from Apples Shakira
Apple's Shakira continuing my bad run of betting this week. Any chance on Whiskey Sour in the 2.10, anyone think?
Finished strong there but maybe left with too much to do at the end?
great day for the bookies so far.wankers
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
Ah well. My awful Gold Cup record continues
Our Duke ran no sort of race. Was never going well.
Some punters think bookmakers are up or down based on the SPs returned. If a few well fancied favourites win people go 'oh a bad day for the bookies' etc or the bookies are smiling now when a 33/1 winner lands.Maybe so to an extent with the independent layers in the ring but the thing is nowadays with the exchanges and so many of the big firms in bed with each other they have all their potential losses well covered and are already hugely in profit from vast over-rounds in each race especially in these big meetings where they clean up every year with the 'mug' punters who only bet on the big meetings etc.There's little to trouble them in today's markets.
Anyway back to normality today and I fancy Get On The Yager to win the Midlands National at Uttoxeter. He’s got a lovely profile for the race and both times he’s run at 3 miles plus over fences he’s won including on heavy. He had a spin around at 2.5 miles which I think was just a prep for this and ran very creditibily. The Skelton horses are running well enough and they’ll be on a high after landing the county hurdle yesterday. 13/2 will do for me.
I quite fancy Silsol in this mate, got a fair wager on him EW but I'll have a saver on your selection due to your superior knowledge
Ante post wager for next Saturday in the Lincoln. Escobar is 33/1 with Paddy Power, no idea why they have him at such a big price. It’ll be his first start for O’Meara who won the race in a similar fashion with Bravery. He’s been transferred from Hugo Palmer who thought he had classic credentials leading into his 3 year old season. He’s off a mark of 97 which should see him get in right at the bottom of the handicap. I fully expect this to be his big target for the season with anything after being a bonus.
