Something I came across some time ago, but while it went on my ‘to do’ list, I have never found the time to have a look at it. However, I did finally jot down the results for yesterday’s handicaps, which make pretty interesting reading:
Exe 3.00 Baccalaureate UNPL / She’s On The Case UNPL Exe 3.30 Ammunition W 16/1 / Vamizi 2nd 13/2 Exe 5.00 The Fox’s Decree 3rd 9/2 / Tavalu UNPL South 1.40 Flying Applause UNPL / Bold Diva 3rd 9/2 South 2.10 La Capriosa UNPL / Incomparable 2nd 8/1 South 3.40 Irish Jugger W 11/8 / Mexican Jay UNPL South 4.10 Olympic Dream 3rd 7/1 / Lindoro W 16/1 South 4.40 Elusive Flame 3rd 7/2 / Trans Sonic W 4/1 South 5.10 Chateau Zara UNPL / Angelena Ballerina W 7/1
Now that’s 5 winners and 6 others placed out of 18 selections in 9 races, or 31.375 pts profit on the day to 1 pt win stakes.
While I don’t expect such fantastic figures to occur again, I did think it was worthwhile giving it a whirl again today, especially as I had a little spare time to work them all out.
Catterick 3.20 Rhyton / Mardood Catterick 3.50 Bardolet / Go On Be A Lady Fontwell 4.00 I Can Run Can You / Hurricane Electric Fontwell 4.30 Marigolds Way / Investment Affair Lingfield 2.10 Humor Me Rene / Where’s Susie Lingfield 3.10 Stoneacre Gareth / Tudor Prince Lingfield 4.10 Athwaab / Lithaam Lingfield 5.10 Prince Apollo / Fashionable Gal Kempton 6.00 Rezwaan / Stoppers Kempton 7.30 Shades Of Grey / Visions of Johanna Kempton 8.00 Exceedingly Bold / Al Aqabah Kempton 8.30 Lilli Palmer / Aggbag
That’s a lot I know, but it will be interesting to see how they get on – even if they all lose, you’d still be up over the 2 days!
Bringing in one extra filter though reduces them to just these:
Font 4.00 I Can Run Can You Ling 3.10 Stoneacre Gareth Ling 4.10 Athwaab
Might be worth a small e/w patent, if the prices so permit that is.

As was to be expected, we didn't quite get a repeat, although results were not as bad as they might of been and it's perhaps worth following for another day or so.

Prices not conducive for E/W patent, but 4 pts lost on 1 pt win patent Oldtimer

Although yesterday was by no means as successful as Tuesday there was enough encouragement to continue for another day or so. Plus, I have now had a little more time to study and tweak a couple of things, which would have increased profits on both days – yes, a small profit yesterday as well; still hasn’t cut the number of selections down much though!
So here we go with today’s hopefuls:
Winc 2.30 Robin Will / Rayon Vert Winc 4.05 Rivermouth / Miss Miracle Carl 3.45 Its Teescomponents / Billsgrey Carl 4.50 Against The Wind / Daytime Dreamer Folk 4.30 Portrait Royale Kemp 7.00 Galiotto Kemp 7.30 Double Carpet / Dvinsky Kemp 8.00 Running Mate / Stonecrabstomorrow Kemp 8.30 Space Station / The Scorching Wind
Something else from the same source that I checked on yesterday, which at least cuts down on the selections, although the prices might be a bit cramped on occasions as it takes no account of number of runners or type of race.
Folk 2.50 Erzen Folk 3.55 Betty Browneyes Folk 4.30 Portrait Royale Kemp 6.30 Midnight Rider

Back on track with what was a good day, and would have been unheard of had Rivermouth won instead of finishing 2nd @ 25/1!
Winc 2.30 Robin Will 2nd 15/2/ Rayon Vert UNPL Winc 4.05 Rivermouth 2nd 25/1/ Miss Miracle 3rd 9/2 Carl 3.45 Its Teescomponents UNPL/ Billsgrey 2nd 7/2 Carl 4.50 Against The Wind W 7/2 / Daytime Dreamer N/R Folk 4.30 Portrait Royale UNPL Kemp 7.00 Galiotto UNPL Kemp 7.30 Double Carpet 3rd 7/2/ Dvinsky W 10/1 Kemp 8.00 Running Mate W 15/2/ Stonecrabstomorrow UNPL Kemp 8.30 Space Station UNPL/ The Scorching Wind UNPL
3/5/15 for + 9 pts
The other four did so-so as well

After a half-decent day yesterday, I’m interested to see how things go today, although time constraints may prevent me from posting the selections prior to racing on Saturday.
So with no more ado, here are today’s hopefuls:
Ayr 3.20 Parc Des Princes / Lewlaur Supreme Ayr 3.55 Soprano / Sundown Trail Ayr 4.30 Miss Abbey / Lahib The Fifth Ayr 5.05 Palace Merano / The Whisperer Sand 2.20 Verteuex Sand 4.05 Time For Spring / Educated Evans Winc 4.20 Senses / Allformary Wolv 5.50 Efistorm / Kylladdie Wolv 6.20 Three Scoops / Burnem Green Wolv 6.50 Russian George / Cobo Bay Wolv 8.20 Chocolate Caramel / Dart Wolv 8.50 Kingdom Of Munster / Alternative Choice
Quite a lot I know, but a sprinkling of decent priced winners – or a 25/1 shot! – would show a profit. Actually, the N/R meant I had to cut a few races!
I’ve split the other approach into two groups, those running in decent sized fields and those running in small fields where the price may be a little cramped – Midnight Rider was such a horse at Kempton yesterday, starting at 4/5 and coming nowhere; I personally wouldn’t consider a race where the selection shortens to less than 9/4. So here are the blue chip selections:
Winc 4.20 Senses Wolv 6.50 Russian George Wolv 8.50 Kingdom Of Munster
And the small field ones: Ayr 2.45 Cool Mission (5 Run) (4/5 ??) Sand 5.15 Rebel Rebellion (6 Run) Leic 4.15 Cesium (5 Run) Leic 4.50 Bradford Boris (5 Run)
So a lot to look at today, which rather interrupted my continuing work on Cheltenham, which I’ve been at for over 3 weeks now!

After the way it’s been going I made sure that I had enough time to at least get the basics down – just hope there aren’t too many N/R today.
Sand 1.55 Cucumber Run / Skint Sand 2.25 Five Dream / Circus of Dreams Sand 3.00 Tito Bustillo / Ronaldo Des Mottes Sand 4.40 Alesandro Mantegna / Craiglands Wolv 2.45 Kingscroft / Bosambo Wolv 3.20 Tartan Gigha / Prime Exhibit Wolv 4.25 Jimmy Styles / Little Garcon Wolv 4.55 Record Breaker / Sherman Mccoy Ayr 2.50 Seven Is Lucky / Rebel Swing Ayr 4.30 Double Eagle / Chester Lad Chep 2.35 Ukrainian Star Chep 4.45 Loco Grande Chep 5.15 Oscar Gogo Chep 5.45 Lightening Fire
Perhaps surprisingly, there aren’t too many of these blue chip variety today – I’ve ditched the small fields.

Well at last I've managed to get things down in the semblance of some order and weeded out one or two errors.
So from the start on Tuesday through Saturday's racing, sticking with the main selection idea and forgetting all about blue star selections and the like, the figures areas follows: 'A' (first-named) selections 11/54 for + 22.625 pts 'B' (second-named) selection 11/41 for + 46.0 pts which if my maths is correct means 22/95 for + 68.625 Pts
Now having broken my arm patting my own back, watch it all fall apart today!
Not many today I’m afraid, plus I’ve lost one to the curse of the N/R. Hope there are no more!
Warwick 2.05 The Laodecian / De Welsh Wizzard Warwick 4.05 Shammy Buskins Mkt Rasen 2.20 Quilver Tatou Mkt Rasen 4.25 Crazy Eyes / Pegasus Prince Mkt Rasen 5.25 Sun Tsu / Overbranch

As with every form of investment, what goes up can also go down and a market correction is always likely after a good run. Well, that’s my excuse for yesterday’s blank and I hope that it won’t carry over to today, which is another poor day’s racing, as befits the day before Cheltenham.
