Saturday three

Good luck to anyone having a go on the Guineas but we look elsewhere for our three selections:

Thir 3.30 Glenridding 8-1 Lads

Nkt 4.15 Horseradish 4-1 B365

Nkt 5.25 Black Spirit 7-1 Lads

A rough Saturday although got massive value about Glenridding who then ran ok up to a point before fading. Horseradish had every chance and wasn't beaten far, while Black Spirit was the only one to drift and never looked like winning.

All in all a frustrating start to the month and we hope for better tomorrow.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Glenridding, 12th, 7/2

Horseradish, 3rd, 3/1

Black Spirit, 10th, 8/1


Can I just say as well how much I'm going to miss JP's blog at http://spenner68.blogspot.com/. He's been having a really rough time recently and I do hope things pick up for him soon.

Three with a double

Nothing doing yesterday but we have three today, including a double on one of JP McManus's for this evening.

Muss 2.50 Kassab 9-2 B365

Muss 3.25 Northern Acres 8-1 Lads

Bang 7.20 Franchoek 9-2 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

Good luck to them all...


The month ends with a bit of a damp squib. Both selections which went to post drifted from this morning, and while Kassab ran ok Northern Acres was swallowed up quite readily. Franchoek was a non runner. It means that a couple of points is lost on the day, leaving the April total at 30.6pts of profit, the best month this year by the narrowist of margins, 0.1pts! (January).

Confirmation of results with sps:

Kassab, 3rd, 11/2

Northern Acres, 7th, 10/1

Email service - 16 days until launch

After a cracking day yesterday, it may be a good time to do a quick reminder that we're getting closer to the launch of the email service!

Please do send a note to winningafortune@yahoo.co.uk if you're interested in getting details of selections sent straight to your inbox.

This will be completely free for the rest of the summer and the emails won't be used for any other purpose than to send out selections and details of any news on a new website which is being launched in connection with this blog.

It's been a brilliant 2010 so far and we have high hopes things will continue, and it would be great to have you involved.

As you may already know, come September we'll have a two month break and then crack on with the business of finding profitable market moves from November 1st. I assure you the service at that point will be very reasonably priced. Nobody of course could guarantee a big profit month in month out, but over the course of time, the edge from beating SP on a regular basis will ensure long term winnings.

All the best,
CD

Just one

After yesterday's two winners we have just one selection for you today:

Hunt 8.10 Konigsbote 6-1 Lads

Good luck to that one..

Nope not today, Konigsbote drifting a bit and then not running well. Not sure if the rain got into the ground to change things a bit but the selection was well beaten.

Confirmation with sp:

Konigsbote, 7th, 17/2

Two doubles for Wednesday

A really battling second by the sole selection yesterday, not beaten far after three and a half miles. Looking to go one better today with two doubles, both over the sticks at Southwell :

South 2.30 Mad Professor 5-1 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

South 3.05 Grenoli 11-2 Totesport DOUBLE STAKER

Good luck to them both...


John Cornwall's my new favourite trainer. A brilliant double up, and two very easy winners. Double staking just makes things even sweeter. Mad Professor was the subject of sustained support which was obviously completely warranted. Grenoli was nicely backed too and won literally by a distance. Brilliant. And well done Joseph Cornwall too for a couple of cracking rides - he certainly wasn't stopping on Grenoli!

The only slight downer was a R4 in the 2.30 race, meaning I was paid at 4.2/1 with bet365 but all in all a cracking 19.4pt profit on the day, and a renewed high for the bank so a new stake to be found from tomorrow.

Results with sps:

Mad Professor, 1st, 5/2

Grenoli, 1st, 9/2


By the way, what a terrific match tonight, really compelling stuff from the Nou Camp and delighted for Mourinho, Inter definitely deserved to go through.

Tuesday, 27 April 2010

Just one

Just one runner today so good luck to:

Sedg 7.20 Neptune Equester 11-2 B365

A very decent run here by Neptune Equester, beaten a couple of lengths after looking like he had every chance at the last fence.

Confirmation of result with sp:

Neptune Equester, 2nd, 4/1

Big Monday

After a successful weekend we hit the ground running for the start of the working week with four doubles and a single.

Newc 2.10 Angle of Attack 6-1 B365

Tow 3.50 Gershwinner 11-2 Betfred DOUBLE STAKER

New 4.40 Silly Gilly 8-1 Lads DOUBLE STAKER

New 5.45 Sharp Sovereign 6-1 W Hill DOUBLE STAKER

Win 7.10 Hierach 3-1 P Power DOUBLE STAKER

Good luck to them all...


Ouch, really poor day today, certainly in terms of returns. In the daily pursuit for beating the SP things weren't great either with two value picks and the rest a tie. Overall a nasty nine points lost on the day.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Angle of Attack, 10th, 6/1

Gershwinner, 6th, 11/2

Silly Gilly, 9th, 5/1

Sharp Sovereign, 3rd, 9/2

Hierach, 7th, 3/1

Sunday, 25 April 2010

A quiet Sunday

Nothing fitting the bill today to get involved, so a quiet Sunday ahead. Good luck if you're having a bet.

Another busy week of racing ahead though, so hopefully plenty of opportunities to come over the next few days.

Just to say thanks to everyone who's registered an interest in getting the emails through, please do drop a quick line to winningafortune@yahoo.co.uk if you want them when it starts up in the middle of May.

Four today, one double

Quite a busy day today, prices going quickly in places. All selections are now online.

Good luck to:

Directorship Sandown 13:00 12/1 Coral

Spirit of Sharjah Leicester 15:35 9/2 Bet365

Turn The Tide Haydock 17:30 13/2 Coral

Johnmanderville Haydock 19:05 11/1 Coral double stake

Back into profit for the week with a decent couple of winners, just a slight regret Turn The Tide wasn't a double stake selection, great profile as an unraced two year old, backed all day and then won as expected, great stuff, bet there's some partying tonight in the camp! Eight point profit all told, nice to get back to winning ways after a frustrating few days. Directorship ran well too.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Directorship, 3rd, 7/1

Spirit of Sharjah, 1st, 7/2

Turn The Tide, 1st, 7/2

Johnmanderville, 12th, 12/1

Friday, 23 April 2010

Just the two

After yesterday's disappointments we hope for better with these two:

San 1.10 Invincible Soul 4-1 B365

Per 4.15 Solis 5-1 Betfred

Good luck to them both.


Nothing doing here, though Solis ran into a place. Invincible Soul was a bit disappointing after continuing to be well backed.

Results with sps:

Invincible Soul, 6th, 5-2

Solis, 3rd, 9-2

Thursday, 22 April 2010

Four with a double

A disappointing day yesterday but we have four selections today, with one of them a double so it's good luck to:

Bev 2.30 Haljaferia VCBet 7-1 DOUBLE STAKER

Font 4.30 Hampton Court 4-1 Bet365

Bev 4.40 Tia Juana 10-1 Bet365

Bev 5.15 Dispol Diva 8-1 Totesport

Quite a poor day today, although Hampton Court came damn close to a winner, beaten a head over three miles three furlongs.

But yes not happening today, five points lost, and look forward to better tomorrow.

Results with sps:

Haljaferia, 8th, 11/2

Hampton Court, 2nd, 2/1

Tia Juana, 6th, 10/1

Dispol Diva, 11th, 5/1

2010 stats so far

Evening all, just been having a quick look through results for 2010 so far.

It's been a good year up to now, with a healthy profit and a decent strike rate. The double stake system has made sure that I've added 15pts of profit so that's pleasing as well in terms of staking plan.

This is how it's looking:

213 bets
37 wins (17.37% strike rate)
Average odds: 6.49/1
Average win odds: 6.49/1 (strange coincidence!)
Longest win sequence: 3
Longest losing sequence: 19
Level stakes profit: 79.7pts
ROI: 31.38%

I hope this fine weather continues for as long as possible because that's definitely a help too.

Can I also say thanks to everyone who's asked to be put on the email list, it's much appreciated.

Three at Epsom

Three runners for you today, all at Epsom. Here they are:

2.20 Rocket Rob 9-2 Betfred

2.55 Rajeh 6-1 B365

5.15 Candleshoe 9-1 B365

Good luck to them all!

A couple of near misses today, possibly further strengthening the each way argument! Both Rocket Rob and Candleshoe came late to get their places, but no returns for me as it's win or bust..! Both had to switch left and right to get their runs, and Candleshoe in particular was stone last turning for home but came home really well. Rajeh ran a stinker.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Rocket Rob, 2nd, 4/1

Rajeh, 7th, 7/1

Candleshoe, 3rd, 7/1

Tuesday, 20 April 2010

Tuesday two

Just two runners for us today but one is a double staker. It's good luck to:

Folk 2.30 Whotsit 6-1 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

Bri 7.10 The Hague 9-2 Coral.

Remember to let us have your email addresses if you want to carry on receiving information from the middle of May!

Another good day today, with The Hague battling on really well to win at Brighton tonight. It looked like he'd win comfortably before the second, Blue Tango, came back at him. Kudos to Coral too who have paid out at the full 5/1 (BOG) despite there officially being a 5p R4 deduction on the race. Last summer I remember noting on the blog how often morning gambles are slightly more likely to drift on track when they're running in evening racing than normal day events, although, crucially, the results still remained solid. In my experience it's the morning market which is most key for these events, and it makes me grateful that virtually every bookie these days (on the internet at least) pay out best odds guaranteed. Will keep a close eye on this in the coming weeks.

Otherwise, Whotsit never really was going the pace before staying on at the end a little, but could only finish 5th. It all means a 3pt profit on the day.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Whotsit, 5th, 5/1

The Hague, 1st 5/1

Monday, 19 April 2010

Four today, three double stakes

After a frustrating weekend, it's quite an explosive Monday to look forward to to hopefully start the week with a bang.

It's good luck to:

Prince of Slane Hexham 14:30 7/1 bet365 DOUBLE STAKE

King In Waiting Pontefract 15:40 11/2 coral DOUBLE STAKE

Pearly Star Plumpton 16:55 5/1 bet365 DOUBLE STAKE

Maraksh Kempton 18:25 9/1 vcbet

A nice five point profit on the day with Pearly Star doing the business well, rallying really well to win the 4.55 by five lengths.

King In Waiting ran ok to pick up the place money but Prince of Slane didn't do much at all.

And then on to Maraksh.. Interestingly I was just commenting on unusual drifts yesterday but this one appears very suspicious. Emma Lavelle's runner drifts on course in a matter of minutes from 8/1 to SIXTEEN to one... and then pulls up after two fences.

Surely she has to explain herself to the stewards for that one. I trust nothing untoward went on there but those betting patterns are odd to say the least given what happened, particurlarly as the gelding was well backed in the morning. Leaves a sour note in the mouth but at least the week's started positively overall.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Prince of Slane, 7th, 7/1

King In Waiting, 3rd, 9/2

Pearly Star, 1st, 7/2

Maraksh, PU, 16/1

Two today

Less busy today but a couple to look forward to.

Good luck to:

Ascot 3.10 Singapore Reef 11/1 Coral

Ascot 4.55 Busker Royal 4/1 Coral (9/2 available with Sporting Bet)


Not happening today, though Singapore Reef would have picked up the place money if I backed these selections each way. He led approaching the last but just got run out of things. Busker Royal was going fine when stumbling and falling on the flat.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Singapore Reef, 3rd, 9/1

Busker Royal, F, 5/2

Saturday, 17 April 2010

Yet another big day ahead.

Here are the runners on another busy day:

Ayr 1.45 Ascendent 9-2 VC Bet

Newb 2.00 Manifest 11-2 Lads

Thir 2.25 Wvooka 9-2 B365

Ayr 2.45 Gloucester 6-1 B365

Bang 3.45 Nom de Gurre 13-2 Lads DOUBLE STAKER

Don 5.10 Malpas Missile 9-2 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

Don 7.25 Lady Artemisa 4-1 Lads

All these prices available at time of posting.

**

Not sure I've ever known a day like it. Five second place finishes out of seven. Talk about hammering against the door of a great day. As it was, it ended up being nine points dropped and plenty to stew on tonight. In fairness most of them were beaten at least a length with no photo finish jobs around, but still pretty sickening not to have got at least one or two winners. A note about Malpas Missile, very strange, nicely backed this morning but then the most extraordinary drift on betfair meant the books priced her up at 14/1 on course. The money still didn't really come again but then she ran a very fair race to find only one too good on her racecourse debut. When the layers got stuck in I assumed she's go on to run a stinker, but not to be. Odd happenings there, but would have been a hell of a result with BOG in play! Will hope for better tomorrow.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Ascendent, 4th, 4/1

Manifest, 2nd, 9/2

Wvooka, 8th, 11/2

Gloucester, 2nd, 6/1

Malpas Missile, 2nd, 12/1

Lady Artemisa, 2nd, 7/2

Friday, 16 April 2010

Another big day.

We have plenty of action today, with five runners and as evening racing really gets going there will be plenty more to come.

Today's five are:

New 1.35 Klammer 12-1 Totesport

New 2.10 Meezan 5-1 B365

New 2.40 Sohrab 9-2 Coral

Utt 6.00 Woodcraft 7-1 S James

Chel 7.20 River Indus 6-1 Lads

Good luck to them all..


Well a cracking day, with the first couple getting home first. Sadly Totesport placed a 25p in the pound deduction after a non runner on the Klammer race, so that settled as a 9/1 winner in the end. I do hate it when that happens as I always tend to assume that the withdrawn runner would never have won, but who knows maybe it would have done. With Meezan's win it all means an 11pt profit on the day.

By the way I've had a comment saying that the Totesport price was 7/1 shortly after the blog went up. I should say that the prices I place on this blog are the prices I have backed at, which are normally in the last 10/15 minutes before the blog is put up. Sometimes the prices are actually bigger elsewhere than backed here, but I've not been able to get on with that particular bookie for one reason or another. Normally there are quite a few bookies with the same price as I've backed with, but I just literally reveal the bookie I've backed with. This is because this blog has historically just been about recording my own particular bets, it's only as a matter of interest that has been generated that it is has turned into something more than that.

When I make the changes to the "new era" obviously I'll address this.

For those doubting the 12/1 i backed with Totesport, (and I don't think Alan, the poster, was, incidentally), here's the screenshot of the settled bet.



Will update results with sp later!

Cheers

Email service: 30 days to launch

Just a reminder if you missed last night's post, that from Saturday May 15th, you can have selections here emailed to you completely free of charge, and at least a couple of hours earlier than they'll be put up on this site. This should be useful because the odds are very often quite a bit shorter by the time we get nearer to racing.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to mention why the selection process will pause for a couple of months in September before the planned relaunch in November. Basically looking back over results over the last few years, it is around this time of year which has proved most difficult in terms of following successful market moves. Whether it's the exposed flat handicappers on show and desperate stables looking for one last big punt, or, more likely, the very erratic ground, I've found it's just not a good time of year for following moves. Earlier in the year I took the decision that this Autumn I'll be easing off, and that's what I'll do.

In the meantime there's plenty of profits to be had. I'll be disappointed if I haven't secured at least 125pts of profit for the year before then, and I think that's quite a conservative prediction.

If you'd like to register your interest for the free email service please do let me know by sending a quick note to winningafortune@yahoo.co.uk.

Cheers,

quieter day

It could have been a majestic day yesterday but despite a couple of close up seconds we still showed a profit. Today things are calmer with just two selections but one at a very tempting price.

Chelt 3.20 Magical Legend 20-1 Betfred (had bet limited)

Chelt 3.55 Grand Crus 4-1 Coral

Good luck to both...

Well after the drama of the last couple of days, much more settled today, with just the one selection running in the end. A bit of a shame Grand Crus didn't go to post possibly because he was around 5/2 when pulled out. As it was it was the 20/1 shot which carried the cash, and he ran a decent enough race, beaten around eight lengths in the end to finish fifth of 16 runners in the end.

Magical Legend, 5th, 18/1

Selections by email

I have been following market moves for many years, and have detailed records going back to 2003. It is clear to me, beyond any doubt, that if you can follow certain betting moves in good time before SP, then over time you will beat the bookmaker.

I say certain moves, because there are many false or "wrong" gambles on show. There are certain profile of horses and races which should be carefully swerved, and many gambles which are more likely to reverse, with the price drifting, nearer the off.

This blog has been running now for over a year, in which time I like to think that a lot of people have benefited from the selections posted on a daily basis. Although I've been keen at times to stress that I haven't posted selections for tipping purposes, £50 win singles in that time would have returned a level stakes profit of nearly £8000.

Over the course of time, and with the interest that my selections have generated, I have grown to think more and more about what I can do with the horses that I pick. Certainly my selections have proved comparable and in many cases more profitable than many professional tipping services. Basically I started thinking whether I can I turn all my efforts into any more of a financial reward, other than just taking money from the bookies.

So things are going to change a little, although not for some time.

Selections posted on this blog will remain free of charge until September, at which time things will break for two months ahead of relaunching on November 1st. Details of that will emerge over the next weeks/months.

From Saturday May 15th 2010, selections will still be posted on this blog before racing, but the difference is they will be posted just before racing starts, rather than as early as possible.

Those people who want to get notice of selections in good time (certainly before 12.00), thereby making the most of the best available odds on offer, will have to supply an email address which I will use to distribute the selections completely free of charge. After my two month break at the start of September, it is at present my intention to turn that email service into a (genuinely) low-price subscription from November 1st. Naturally people who give their email addresses before then are under absolutely no obligation whatsoever to continue to receive selections.

So in summary.

Selections will continue to be posted here before racing, unless there are exceptional circumstances, until August 31st 2010.

From May 15th, those people who supply their email address will get these selections around two hours, on average, before those watching out for blog updates.

From November 1st, the service will resume under a new, yet to be confirmed format. Whatever happens I dare say winningafortune will still continue to summarise results.

Needless to say I absolutely guarantee all email addresses will never be passed onto any third parties, and will never be used for any other purpose than to supply the names of horses which need to be backed, or the odd account update summary.

While there is no great rush, if you do want to register your interest for the free email service, please email winningafortune@gmail.com.

I hope you understand my thinking for the changes, and I hope as many of us as possible can continue the pursuit towards "winning a fortune".

All the best,

CD

3.55 Cheltenham - double stake

One more slight addition to the earlier post.

The 3.55 at Cheltenham, I'm So Lucky, is a DOUBLE STAKE selection. Still available at 11/1 with bet365.

Another double stake bet

Just to say in case you've missed it another selection has just been added today to the last post.

Longliner in the 3.00 at Newmarket, taken 4-1 with ToteSport - and it's a double stake selection.

Cheers

Getting stuck in again....

The selections are coming thick and fast as we go into Wednesday with another six horses for you, three of them a double, to follow up yesterday's successful tilt at the ring.

They are:

Chel 2.45 Ouzbeck 7-1 Coral

New 3.00 Longliner 4-1 Totesport** DOUBLE STAKER this has been added at 12.16 apols for any confusion

Bev 3.45 Blue Spinnaker 7-2 Coral DOUBLE STAKER

Chel 3.55 I'm so lucky B365 11-1 DOUBLE STAKER ** this was upgraded to double stake at 12.40, again apols for any confusion

Nkt 4.45 Rumosh 5-1 Totesport

Bev 5.30 Domination 4-1 B365

Good luck to them all!


What a day this could have been. Six selections, two winners, but two double staked seconds, including one at 11/1. A very tidy 6.5pt profit, although the couple of horses who found one too good were both just narrowly beaten. I'm So Lucky the one which caused most frustration, looking the winner going over the last, trading 1.12 in running close home, but just hauled back in to go down by a neck to miss out on 22pts, or nearly £300 in terms of my bank.

Blue Spinnaker was a 1.68 job in running. But still, mustn't grumble, a cracking day all told and a renewed high for the bank!

Results with sps:

Ouzbeck, 1st, 17/2 (best odds guaranteed in play)

Longliner, 10th, 10/3

Blue Spinnaker, 2nd, 10/3

I'm so lucky, 2nd, 9/1

Rumoush, 1st, 7/2

Domination, 4th, 9/2

Yar 4.00 Jack My Boy 6-1 Coral DOUBLE STAKER

Yar 4.30 Bugaku 5-1 Coral DOUBLE STAKER

A day which could have been nasty, but in the end an excellent eleven point profit with a couple of nice winners! Got the value on most of them as well which is all the more pleasing, and absolutely the idea.

Wind 3.20 Smart Endeavour 7-1 B365

Sedg 3.40 Timocracy 7-2 Totesport


Not been a great few days, and another three points lost today, although we had the price nicely on a couple of these, particularly Timocracy who obviously good things were expected of and he failed to deliver big time.

Sunday Double-

One double staker today after yesterday's was backed all the way into 15-8 but could only finish third.

The horse is:

Double disappointment here with Lureyno not running well but also drifting noticeably in price.

One but it's a Double

All eyes may be on the Grand National but in the hunt for winners we head across the Severn Bridge to Chepstow where a selection from yesterday who was a non-runner goes today.

Chep 2.30 Stripe Me Blue 5-1 Betfred DOUBLE STAKER

Good luck to that one and to all having a punt in the National.

Stripe Me Blue was backed all day, and ran pretty well, a bit short of room by the last fence and ended up going down by about 2 1/2 lengths. It's this sort of result which makes me wonder if I should do more e/w betting, but I've found that over the course of time backing selections win only returns more. Sadly it's a more frustrating path to tred in terms of stomaching longer losing runs of course.

Confirmation of result with sp.

Stripe Me Blue, 3rd, 15/8

Friday, 9 April 2010

Three for Friday

A nice 9-2 winner yesterday and another going well when falling. Hopefully keep things going with these three:

Ain 2.00 La Sarrazine 5-1 W Hill

Ain 2.35 Lenabane 9-1 Bet365

Kem 4.10 Stripe me Blue 8-1 W Hill

Good luck to them all....


Nothing doing today much, with two losers and a non runner. Lenabane's jumping clearly didn't help (hit 6th, hampered 11th, hit 3 out) and may be one to watch if things improve there, only beaten just over six lengths in the end.

La Sarrazine, 4th, 5/1sp

Lenabane, 4th, 8/1sp

Thursday trio

We have three today, with hopes of better fortune.

Leic 3.25 Miss Starlight 9-2 Bet365

Taun 4.10 Mon Chevalier 9-2 Coral

Taun 4.45 Prince de Suil 9-1 Lads

Good luck to them all...

A "ticking over" sort of day, with Miss Starlight a nice little 9-2 return ensuring a 2.5pt profit. Mon Chevalier was still going ok in second when falling three out, so possibly one which slipped away there. Prince de Suil wasn't embarrassed but still never really looked like getting close to winning.

The new flat season, as has been the case for the last few years, is proving pretty profitable at this stage of the season.

Results with sps:


Miss Starlight, 1st, 9/2

Mon Chevalier, F, 100/30

Prince de Suil, 5th, 7/1

I'm off to Prague for a stag do this weekend, (could be messy!) but my Dad will continue to place bets and put selections up here. Will update full results when I get back. Snowy Morning for the National by the way!

Two with a double

We have two runners for you today, one of them a double staker so good luck to:

Catt 2.40 Bandanaman 6-1 Betfred DOUBLE STAKER

Nott 2.50 Moorhouse Lad 8-1 Lads

Three points lost today, although Moorhouse Lad ran a decent race to finish second. Possibly unlucky with Bandanaman too as he lost his bit midrace and was eased afterwards, but who knows.

Confirmation of results:

Bandanaman, 9th, 5/1sp
Moorhouse Lad, 2nd, 8/1

Tuesday, 6 April 2010

Just one

Only one going for us today:

Ffos Las 5.05 Second to Nun 14-1 VC Bet

Good luck to that one..


Well Second to Nun was looking promsiing for a while, but then fell away tamely unfortunately. Beat the SP again though.

Second to Nun; 5th, 11/1

Monday, 5 April 2010

Four today

Quite a few horses being backed today, understandably, given it's a busy bank holiday Monday.

But four in particular of interest here so it's good luck to:

Sallys Swansong Redcar 14:00 10/1 ladbrokes

Born To Perform Redcar 14:35 9/1 ladbrokes

Star Addition Redcar 15:45 14/1 skybet

Alfadora Huntingdon 15:55 8/1 ladbrokes

A bit unlucky not to get a return today, with Born To Perform apparently absolutely cruising and trading at 1.10 in running before being beaten a head. I didn't see the race myself but I know the jock Robert Winston's come in for a bit of stick. Elsewhere Sallys Swansong lost realistic chance with a slow start before finishing strongly to deadheat in third. Star Addition and Alfadora didn't do a lot.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Sallys Swansong, 3rd, 8/1

Born To Perform, 2nd, 11/2

Star Addition, 13th, 12/1

Alfadora, 5th, 11/2

Sunday, 4 April 2010

Two for Easter day

We have two runners today, both at Musselburgh:

2.20 Island Chief 5-1 Bet365

3.50 My Arch 18-1 VCBet

Good luck to them both..

A brilliant day with My Arch getting up on the line to win in a photo, fantastic stuff!

Island Chief ran ok to finish third but was quite well beaten.

All in all a cracking 17 point haul on the day to push the month well into profit.

Results with sps:

Island Chief, 3rd, 5/1sp

My Arch, 1st, 11/1sp


It also means my bank's at a renewed high, so stakes from tomorrow are going up to £13.18 win singles.

Saturday, 3 April 2010

Two today, one double

Two today, the price on Iconoclast is crashing.

It's good luck to:


Supreme Keano Carlisle 14:50 10/1 lads

Iconoclast Haydock 14:55 9/2 lads DOUBLE STAKE

Nope, not happening today with three points lost. Supreme Keano looked for a minute like he may stay on well but was well beaten in the end, while Iconoclast also was putting in a reasonable performance before emptying out. Surprised to see him go off bigger than backed this morning, certainly wasn't looking that way this morning.

Anyway hope for better tomorrow!

Supreme Keano, 6th, 9/1sp

Iconoclast, 3rd, 5/1

Thursday, 1 April 2010

Two for today

Two runners today before the Good Friday break so let's hope for the best for these two:

Folk 3.40 Spitfire 4-1 Lads

Folk 4.40 Illicit 12-1 Betfred

An easy win for Spitfire ensures April starts with a profitable day, although the withdrawal of 7/2 shot Harlech Castle meant a rule4 20p in the pound deduction. Illicit didn't do a thing.

Spitfire, 1st, 4-1sp
Illicit, 8th, 14-1sp

Wednesday, 31 March 2010

Just the one

A nice 13-2 winner yesterday and today we have just one runner:

Here 5.10 Ajzal, part 9-2 VC Bet, part 4-1 Totesport


A brave performance from Ajzal who had them well stretched out at one point. Was looking tired when he crashed out at the last fence though when sharing the lead, although you never know, he may have rallied. Got the value again though and that's the main thing in the long run!

Confirmation of result:

Ajzal, F, 10/3sp

Tuesday, 30 March 2010

Back in business

Back in business today with four selections for you, one of them a double:

M R 2.40 Isaquah 13-2 W Hill

Font 3.00 Tanktastic 4-1 Skybet DOUBLE STAKER

Font 3.30 Quarrymount 9-2 W Hill

M R 4.10 Baron de Doc 4-1 Betfred

Good luck to them all...

Profitable day today though of course there's always the sense things could have gone better when the first one rattles in at the biggest price of the day.. Isaquah did a great front running display to win well.

Tanktastic went off half the odds got this morning which is always great, almost regardless of result, but put in a bit of a stinker. Quarrymount unseated when close up and Baron de Doc was always finding it a bit tough.

Anyway a nice 2.5 profit on the day, I'd take that every day of the week if it could be guaranteed!

Results with sps:

Isaquah, 1st, 5/1s

Tanktastic, 6th, 2/1

Quarrymount, UR, 9/2

Baron de Doc, 3rd, 9/2

Monday, 29 March 2010

No selections for us today so a quiet start to the working week.

One today, double stake

Oncle Kid, 4.35 winc. 11-2 double stake will hill. 6s available elsewhere

Sent from my HTC


Oncle Kid ran pretty well, beaten just over a couple of lengths over the course of 2m5furlongs, but no returns sadly over the weekend, frustrating!

Four with two Doubles

A potentially big day with four runners, two of the doubles:

Don 3.40 Diamond Geezah 10-1 Betfred

Strat 4.05 Temple Place 5-1 Bet365 DOUBLE STAKER

Ban 4.20 Thetwincamdrift Coral 5-1

Don 4.50 Aspro Mavro 4-1 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

Good luck to them all!

Had a great day at my brother-in-law's wedding, now back in our room on baby duty while the party continues! How times change..

Anyway was lots of fun but sadly nothing doing with the selections, although a couple weren't beaten far. Didn't see the racing but Diamond Geezah in the Brocklesby sounded like he was flying at the death but couldn't make up the ground lost at the start.

Diamond Geezah, 4th, 11/2

Temple Place, 5th, 7/1

Thetwincamdrift, 15th, 6/1

Aspro Mavro, 3rd, 7/2

Friday, 26 March 2010

Just one for Friday

The return of rain in places is once more causing havoc with the ground and sudden changes in the going is always bad news for punting. As it is there is only one runner for us today:

New 4.05 Buffalo Stampede 12-1 Lads


Well Buffalo looked to be going nicely three from home but then emptied out to finish a fair bit behind the principles. Big drift on him isn't the idea, although would have paid nicely with BOG!

Buffalo Stampede, 8th, 20/1

Thursday, 25 March 2010

Thursday pair

After yesterday's frustrations we have two for you today and hope for better:

Ayr 3.50 Phone In 17-2 VCBet

Chep 4.35 Timetoring B365 7-1

Good luck to them both...

Nope, not happening today.

Phone In went on an extraordinarily massive drift before racing and ran to suit, while Timetoring was there are thereabouts before being touched off for third, but well beaten by the favourite.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Phone In, 7th, 18/1

Timetoring, 3rd, 4/1

Wednesday, 24 March 2010

Wednesday two

A superb day yesterday with a double stake winner backed at 9-1 and 8-1 and today we press on with two more selections for you:

Here 3.05 Skip the Present 9-1 B365

Hay 4.25 Nevetika 4-1 Lads

Good luck to them both...


Well what a farce that was today, Nevetika running a full circuit after bolting and then, incredibly, not being withdrawn. He'd been 3/1 at that moment after being well backed all day and went off at 7s, and promptly pulled up early. The other a non runner, will hope for better tomorrow.

Skip the Present NON RUNNER

Nevetika, PU, 7/1

Tuesday, 23 March 2010

Tuesday two, one double stake

After yesterday's 5-1 winner kept the ball rolling we move on with two for today:

Kemp 4.50 Zafrangar 9-1 B365 DOUBLE STAKER* also 8-1 Betfred

Exe 5.00 Osokenda 9-1 Lads

Good luck to both..

*Updated at 12.09 This is now a double staker, apologies for any confusion


This really is a cracking run at the moment, Zafrangar being given a cracking ride to win by a neck at Kempton! Osokenda was up there for much of his race but eventually faded.

Today's win means my bank is at a renewed high (or was after Zafrangar's win), and sets things up very nicely for the weeks and months to come. Particularly looking forward to the start of the flat season. No doubt any number of stables have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Results with sps:

Zafrangar, 1st, 8/1
Osokenda, 5th, 12/1

Monday, 22 March 2010

Purple Betting Day

Personally I don't use Betfair that much, mainly because I can almost always secure better prices in the morning using regular bookies, with the added comfort of BOG on the rare occassions it comes into play.

But that's not to say I'm not aware of the chronic virtual monopoly the exchange has on the UK market, and how they appear to be acting with a certain amount of a "because we can" attitude with things like premium charging. The lack of liquidity in the morning seems to be something they're not at all bothered about as well, I'm sure they could think of something if they had to, some sort of carrot to the early layers.

So good luck to these boys at Purple Betting Day, anything which may shake things up a bit will get my vote!

http://pbd.weebly.com/

Monday Three

Back in action with three selections today:

Kel 4.10 Humbie 5-1 Lads

Plu 4.30 Pete the Feat 8-1 B365 DOUBLE STAKER

Kel 4.40 Putitawayforayear B365 10-1

Good luck to them all..


Another profitable day, with Humbie doing the business in decent style to secure a two point profit on the day, although Pete the Feat's run was a bit disappointing. Putitawayforayear ran a good race and would have rewarded each way support but it's win only here.

Results with sps:

Humbie, 1st, 7/2

Pete the Feat, 6th, 11/2

Putitawayforayear, 3rd, 10/1

Sunday, 21 March 2010

A great week but nothing today

Well it's been a great week of profit, and would have been cracking to get stuck into another two or three today. But there's nothing about strong enough so a relaxing Sunday ahead.

Good luck if you're getting involved.

Saturday, 20 March 2010

Two today

A couple today to hopefully continue the winning week. Because I was trying to get my bets on Sparkling Zola on my phone I missed 10/1 and then 9/1, so 8/1 the best available at the moment, though Sporting Bet still offering 9/1 for all those who've not had their accounts restricted.

Good luck to:

National Trust Ffos Las 15:40 9/2 betfred

Sparkling Zola Newcastle 17:45 8/1 bet365

Well a really good week continues, with National Trust doing the business by half a length. It's funny how these runs can come, and I've learnt not to get too carried away with success (i.e loosen criteria and try to keep the momentum) as I have not to get too despondent with a run of defeats. Treat those two imposters just the same, as someone once said.

It is though, lovely, and sees my personal bank climb to back above £1000 for the first time in a while.

Confirmation of results with sps:

National Trust, 1st, 4/1sp

Sparkling Zola, PU, 9/1sp

Friday, 19 March 2010

Two today, one double

Off we go to Fakenham today with a couple of selections. The first is being very well backed and the price is coming down quickly, but 10/1 is still available at Sporting Bet (they allow me about 10p bets so don't bother with them at all)

Good luck to:

Bromhead Fakenham 14:20 9/1 bet365 double stake

Prize Fighter Fakenham 16:55 11/2 bet365

Another excellent day, with Bromhead winning incredibly easily after landing a very big punt. No such luck with Prize Fighter, but still a 17 point profit on the day.

Bromhead, 1st, 10/3sp

Prize Fighter, 8th, 6/1

Cheltenham Friday selections

Ok, here goes it then, my picks for Cheltenham on Friday (non account bets obviously!), apart from a couple of races which I really can't work out and will just have to go with instinct on the day!*

13:30 Alaivan; Soldatino
14:05 Bellvano; Tito Bustillo
14:40 Silver Kate; Capa Bleu
15:20 Cooldine
16:00 Trust Fund; Take The Stand
16:40 Fairyland; Always Bold
17:15 French Opera; Oiseau De Nuit; Tataniano

Not sure how many of these I'll do each way, will see how it goes.

Good luck to everyone getting involved, hope we all can end on some sort of high!

* Have now filled in the gaps in the 14:40 and 16:40!

Jan / Feb update

Just a brief update looking back at January and February.

January: 43 bets; 9 wins; average win price - 5.8/1 (three double stake wins); 20.9% strike rate

February: 52 bets; 7 wins; average win price - 6.85/1 (one double stake win); 13.5% strike rate

New layout

Hope you like the new layout, just thought the blog could do with a bit of a makeover!

My baby daughter's taken up so much of my time over the last few months, I've not been able to update things like weekly or monthly running totals as much as I'd like, but I do intend to pick this up again from now on. Am staying at my Dad's at the moment for Cheltenham, so have some free time so will try to do some recent monthly analysis tonight.

My Cheltenham picks

For what it's worth here we go with my bets today!

1.30 Nicanor

2.05 Alfie Sherrin Prince Eric Smokin Aces

2.40 Tranquil Sea

3.20 Tidal Bay ; Powerstation

4:00 From Dawn To Dusk; Song of Songs ; Victorias Groom

4.40 Burren Legend; Ma Yahab; I'moncloudnine ; Hello Bud ; No Strings Attached

Wow pretty hopeless with my Cheltenham selections today! I did Powerstation each way at 40/1 so that was ok, and a few others ran reasonably without me getting returns (did most win only).

Can't believe how poorly Tidal Bay ran as well, very disappointing.

Anyway a great day's racing nonetheless, heading back there tomorrow which I'm really looking forward to.

No selections today

Would have loved to have got stuck in after yesterday's successes, but nothing strong enough today to get involved in.

Will be back later to post my Cheltenham punts!

Cheers

Wednesday, 17 March 2010

Two today

Who needs Cheltenham as it's off to Huntingdon we go for the days big selections!

Good luck to:

Ukrainian Star Huntingdon 14:55 13/2 bet365
Watch Out Huntingdon 15:35 6/1 bet365

Going to the Festival today with my Dad, and meeting up with friends there, can't wait. For what it's worth I've done some trends analysis and these are my picks.

1:30 Mobasher; Poker De Sivola
2:05 Reve de Sivola
2:40 Diamond Harry; Punchestowns
3.20 Forpaddydeplaster; Master Minded; Mahagony Blaze (dubious but huge price)
4:00 Silk Affair; Eleazar; Hampshire Express; Gold Award
4:40 No selection
5:15 Shannon Spirit; Up Ou That

At their prices I particularly like Silk Affair and Shannon Spirit, but I'll be backing all the above! Obviously these aren't "winningafortune" account bets!

Good luck to you if you're getting involved today.

Well an excellent day at Cheltenham, with the perfect start with Poker De Sivola winning at 14/1. Bits and bobs back after that but nothing special, other than just the pleasure of being there. Really good day out.

As for the proper selections, a cracking day. Terrific value and both winning really really easily. Superb stuff and hopefully it'll continue tomorrow!

Ukrainian Star, 1st, 7/2sp
Watch Out, 1st, 10/3sp

Tuesday, 16 March 2010

Nothing for us

Good luck to all those getting involved at Cheltenham but there are no selections for us this morning.

Monday, 15 March 2010

Warming up for Cheltenham

It's the last chance to swell the coffers before Cheltenham and we have two runners:

Taun 4.20 Cricket Boy 11-2 Betfred

Strat 4.40 Just Rob 4-1 Lads

Good luck to them both.

Both ran reasonably well but nothing to write home about value wise with one drifting half a point and the other being clipped in half a point. From this blogs perspective, I'm looking forward to April already, it's been a rotten month so far this March.

Can't wait for Cheltenham though! I know we probably can't all be winners over the next four days but lets just hope the bookies take a collective hammering.

Confirmation of results with sps:

Cricket Boy, 5th, 6/1

Just Rob, 3rd, 7/2

Saturday, 13 March 2010

Saturday pair

Just two runners for us today:


San 2.30 Or Jaune 6-1 Lads

Chep 2.55 Decent Lord 6-1 Betfred

Good luck to them both.

Well got the price on these two but sadly off the mark result wise. I didn't see either race, but certainly more was expected of them in particular Decent Lord who'd been well backed all day and then ran a stinker.

Still, hope for better tomorrow.

Or Jaune, 5th, 7/2sp

Decent Lord, 11th, 11/4sp

Friday, 12 March 2010

Two for Friday

We have just two runners out of the hundreds entered on this busy day's racing:

Lei 4.15 Cordier 6-1 Lads

Win 4.20 Gobejolly 13-2 P Power

Good luck to both.

A frustrating two or three weeks in the main, and things continued here. Particularly annoying to see Gobejolly go off a bigger price than backed at.

Cordier, 4th, 11/2sp

Gobejolly, PU, 15/2

Thursday, 11 March 2010

Double and a single

A third place from our only runner yesterday but today we have hopes for two runners, one a double:

Win 2.30 Rudinero 7-1 Lads DOUBLE STAKER

Carl 4.50 More Shenanigans 7-1 Betfred.

Good luck to them both.



Yet another placed effort today, but no returns and a poor day value wise too which makes it all the more frustrating.

Rudinero, 3rd, 8/1sp
More Shenanigans, 8th, 8/1

Wednesday, 10 March 2010

Just the one

A bit of a wobble the last couple of days and we take it nice and steady today with just one selection as we seek to get back to winning ways:

Catt 4.20 Another Charmer 6-1 ladbrokes


Not a bad run, but no returns as its win or bust here.

Another Charmer, 3rd, 5/1sp

Tuesday, 9 March 2010

One today

A blank yesterday unfortunately and just the one to look forward to today.

Good luck to:

Not Talking Newcastle 14:50 11/2 betfred

Got the price here in no uncertain terms with the selection backed all day. Unfortunately the jock gave him no chance with a weak ride, even accounting for him being a ten pound claimer.

Not Talking, 3rd, 2/1sp

Monday, 8 March 2010

Three more today

After Saturday's double we had a cracking 13-2 winner yesterday which was backed into 3-1 and trotted up.

Today we have three more:

F Las 2.50 Steveys Lad 11-2 VCBet

Strat 3.40 Raincoat 8-1 Bet365

Strat 4.15 She is a cracker 7-1 Coral


Our man who moderates and publishes comments comes back from a trip to Vegas later today and will deal with them upon his return and in the meantime thankyou to the people who have been in touch.

Yep back from Vegas now, what a trip. A highly recommended city! Thanks to my Dad for putting the bets on and updating here, pleased to see a few nice winners after a sticky spell.

Not so good Monday though unfortunately,

A most welcome return to form yesterday as two out of three winners saw returns at 9-2 and 6-1. Three more today as we try to continue the winning trend:

Hunt 2.40 Ackertak 5-1 Totesport

Sedg 4.20 Danse Macabre 4-1 Coral

Hunt 4.40 Porta Vogie 13-2 W Hill

Another nice winner here to cap a good weekend.

Good luck to them all.

We contiue in the grip of a poor run but experience tells us things will turn round. Today's two will hopefully get the ball rolling:

Five runners today

A potentially big day with five runners. The very heavy ground has been playing havoc with selections but it must be hoped that things are about to settle down weather wise to give us a chance.


The five are:

Folk 2.10 Kokkokila 13-2 Totesport

Bang 2.50 Lord Larsson 5-1 Betfred

Folk 3.10 Aboukir Bay 6-1 Lads

Bang 3.50 Panama At Once 9-1 Bet365

Folk 4.10 Ya I Know 9-2 Totesport

Good luck to them all.

Really poor day, poor runs all around and not good in terms of getting the price as well. As I've mentioned before horses do drift and win, and with BOG that's always nice, but it's without doubt a less common occurance.

Hope for better tomorrow.


Kokkokila, 4th, 7/1

Double double

We have two runners today but both are double stakers:

Catt 2.00 Mt Desert 6-1 Bet365 DOUBLE

Catt 3.00 Carrateau 5-1 Lads DOUBLE

Good luck to them both.

Double trouble today, sadly with both selections going down. Mt Desert wasn't beaten far but the other was well beaten. Since I introduced the double stake method back in March last year, it has been profitable, but its annoying to see the losses add up when things go awry.

Mt Pleasan, 3rd, 5/1sp
Carrateau, 7th, 5/1sp

Monday, 1 March 2010

Two to start the working week

We have two runners for us today, one of them a double staker as we set about starting the working week in style:

Here 2.30 Finmere 10-1 Lads DOUBLE STAKER

Here 4.00 Mister Pous 4-1 Coral

Good luck to both

Well on the face of it Finmere looked to have run a bit of a shocker, but he was actually running a reasonable race before clattering two fences really hard which he never recovered from.

Mister Pous was looking a likely winner close to home, backed down to 1.66 in running before going down by just over a length.

It's been a frustrating run just lately, coinciding with a review of the selections in this blog on www.edgehunters.co.uk, which is just typical. But nearly all the selections are going off at a shorter price at post time which is half the battle. Just need a couple more of them to do what's expected of them!

Confirmation of results with sps:

Finmere, PU, 6/1 sp

Mister Pous, 2nd, 4/1sp

Nothing doing

A poor day yesterday and no runners for us today so a quiet start to the new week.

Saturday, 27 February 2010

Four for Saturday

A nice 5-1 winner yesterday and today we have four selections, two of them going up against odds-on shots:

Chep 2.25 Glimmer of Light 13-2 Lads

Kemp 2.30 Mount Oscar 7-1 Lads

Chep 2.55 Itea Du Fau 5-1 Betfred

Kemp 4.10 Sharp Rigging 12-1 Bet365

Good luck to them all.

A blank here, including the ludicrous 2.55 at Chepstow where the selection pulled up when in second place, only to see the leader and then the new leader both unseat their jocks, leaving a 28/1 shot to somehow win the contest alone. Five points gone begging, although in fairness it would have been a lucky winner.

Two today

A half decent run yesterday from Tamerinbleu. Here are today's two:

Hunt 2.30 Lisdonagh House Bet365 9-1

Hunt 4.10 Costa Courta W Hill 6-1

Good luck to them both.


Nothing doing today, although Costa Courta seemed to be tanking along when unseating three out.

Got the prices again though, which is the important thing.

I'm pleased to say that a website by the name of http://www.edgehunters.co.uk/ has decided to review my picks and results over the next few months.

You can find out more here

http://www.edgehunters.co.uk/?p=185

Hopefully this won't put the mockers on things!

Aside of the review of this blog, the chap who runs it seems to have some very good ideas on what it takes to win money at this game. Well worth a look I'd say.

Oh and just to confirm, obviously no selections today with all racing off.

Cheers,

CD

One today

Unplaced effort yesterday. On to today though and quite a few non-runners have confused the picture somewhat, but there's one selection.

Good luck to:

Fredo Haydock 16:10 5/1 Ladbrokes


From today I'm going to try to keep up to date more closely with the days results with SPs. It's been very tough in the last few months because of family commitments, but things are settling down so it should be a little easier now.

Anyway a positive day today, the selection was perilously close to being a double staker but not to be. Anyway will take a 5pt profit any day of the week!


Fredo, 1st, 7/2sp
