As you know, I'm not that hot on systems generally, but this plucked at a few strings so I decided to have a go with this and as it's still showing a profit after the first few days I thought I'd post it on here. I can't claim full ownership by any means, although I have amended the rules slightly, hence the name Something Borrowed System!

Quite a few today too, though perhaps not as many as might have been expected.
Muss 3.45 Alaskan Bullet 1 pt win 3rd 7/2/ Jofranka 1 pt win UNPL Muss 4.10 Mishaal 2 pts win UNPL Nwmk 7.05 Outlawed 2 pts win W 11/4 Chest 8.30 Tidentime 2 pts win UNPL Nwcs 9.20 Rozene 2 pts win UNPL

With it being Saturday we've got a bunch, but what we need is winners in the plural!
Nwcs 2.05 Kimberella 2 pts Nwcs 3.15 Dream Walker 2 pts Wind 4.10 Ashpan Sam 1 pt win / Gamesome 1pt win Chest 5.05 Cheworee 2 pts win Ling 6.20 Indian Tinker 2 pts win Ling 7.25 Mr Win 1 pt win / Newton's Law 1 pt win Donc 8.15 High On Life 2 pts win
So 14 pts staked today, which could do some serious damage to the banks, which currently stands at 96.10 pts

Having a slowdown at present, as after none yesterday there's only one today!
Ham 4.15 Master Bond 2 pts W 11/8
Bank starts the day at 98.60 pts So 2.75 pts win on the day moves the bank into positive territory at 101.35 pts

Post by Old Timer on Jul 2, 2014 12:27:40 GMT
After a good day yesterday we've got two today

Been on a bit of a run of late, so let's hope it continues.
Haydock 3.20 Eland Ally 1 pt win / Brother Tiger 1 pt win Newbury 8.10 Frangipanni 1 pt win / Alzanti 1 pt win Epsom 8.50 Good Luck Charm 2 pts win
So 6 pts staked today with the bank at 109.35 pts

It is indeed Kimmy and this is starting to show some promise!
One winner helped limit the damage!
Haydock 3.20 Eland Ally 1 pt win UNPL / Brother Tiger 1 pt win UNPL Newbury 8.10 Frangipanni 1 pt win UNPL / Alzanti 1 pt win W 4/1 Epsom 8.50 Good Luck Charm 2 pts win UNPL

Got quite a few today, so I hope there's a sprinkling of winners among them!
As seems to happen when there's a lot of selections, winners become scarce - just the one today!
Warw 3.10 Kiss From A Rose 2 pts win UNPL Donc 4.00 Outback Traveller 1 pt win UNPL / Invincible Fresh 1 pt win W 7/2 Warw 5.25 Whipphound 2 pts win UNPL Donc 5.35 Serenity Spa 2 pts win UNPL Hayd 6.45 Perfect Blossom 2 pts win UNPL

Almost afraid to put them up today after yesterday's success, but got to keep plodding on as it won't even be 3 weeks until tomorrow, but 22 winners from 56 races so far ain't too shabby.
I rather expect a correction today but with 4 races we shall see
Catt 4.30 Imperator Agustus 1 pt win W 4/1 / Abraham Monro 1 pt win UNPL Catt 5.00 Running Reef 2 pts win 2nd 9/4 Kemp 6.20 Secret Success 2 pts win W 6/4 Kemp 9.20 Dutch Interior 1 pts win 3rd 9/2 / Spellmaker 1 pt win UNPL
Better than expected, with a 2 pts profit on the day lifting the bank to 137.85 pts

Post by Old Timer on Jul 10, 2014 14:00:38 GMT
Just the one today (race that is)
Nott 4.45 Sunrise Star 1 pt win 3rd 6/4 / Amahoro 1 pt win 2nd 5/1
So 2 pts lost on the day drops the bank to 135.85

It's with trepidation that I put these up today, as there seem to be N/Rs left, right and centre - soft ground is the problem at Newmarket, while it's fast ground they don't like at York. I guess today's mollycoddled racehorses can only run on good ground!
Still in hopes the fields don't drop below 8 runners, or any of my selections drop out...
Seems my fears were partially justified, particularly with the night racing as one race became a 7-runner affair and then one of my selections was a N/R. Not the first time that's happened, and it's one of the reasons I dislike night racing. N/R selections are particularly galling, as it would have meant double stakes on the other selection!
York 5.10 Shot In The Sun 2 pts win UNPL Chep 7.05 Rambo Will 1 pt win UNPL / Dark Lane 1 pt win 2nd 4/1 Chep 8.40 Postcript 2 pts win UNPL 7-horse race! Ches 8.50 Dr Red Eye 1 pt N/R!/ Repetition 1 pt win W 3/1
So a 3pts correction on the day leaves the bank at 132.85 pts

Post by Old Timer on Jul 12, 2014 12:03:31 GMT
Surprisingly, only 5 races today, though any more N/R in the Bunbury and it would qualify!
Chest 2.50 Pushkin Museum 2 pts win 3rd 2/1 Salis 6.25 Vallarta 2 pts win W 10/3 Ham 7.10 Aya's Boy 1 pt win UNPL / Straits Of Malacca 1 pt win W 15/8 (7 runners again!) Ham 7.45 Salvatore Fury 2 pts win 2nd 4/1 Ham 8.15 Monsieur Royale 1 pt win 2nd 7/1 / Gambino 1 pt win 3rd 15/2
Nearly another great day, but still satisfied that it ended with a slight profit.
2.55 pts profit on the day leaves the bank at 135.40 pts

With no UK flat racing today there will be no selections.
Hopefully back tomorrow (Monday)

Post by Old Timer on Jul 14, 2014 13:11:05 GMT
Yes, back in business today, though sadly three are tonight so I worry about N/Rs reducing the fields to less than 8 runners.
Ayr 4.00 Jinky 2 pts win 2nd 2/1 Wind 6.00 Joyous 2 pts win UNPL Ling 6.50 Putin 2 pts win 3rd 8/1 Ling 7.20 Tyrsal 1 pt win UNPL / Thanks Harry 1 pt win UNPL
So the long-awaited major correction finally arrived and with an 8 pt loss on the day the bank dropped back to 127.40 pts

Post by Old Timer on Jul 15, 2014 12:55:55 GMT
See if we can get back on the winning track today.
Bev 2.30 Hazard Warning 1 pt win 3rd 7/2 / Lees Anthem 1 pt win UNPL Thir 6.10 Les Gar Gan 2 pts win UNPL Yarm 8.20 Roring Samson 1 pt win 3rd 4/1 / Swiss Lait 1 pt win UNPL
The dry spell continues with the losing run up to nine, but fingers crossed it's only a temporary correction.
However, the bank is now down to 121.4 pts

Midweek and the number of selections slows again.
Catt 4.00 Dark Castle 2 pts win 3rd 2/1 Ling 4.10 Majestic Song 1 pt win W 8/1 / Kodafine 1 pt win 3rd 5/4 F
So the losing streak ended at 10, though many made the frame in between.
HOwever, with 5 pts won on the day the bank goes back up to 126.40 pts

Right, now for the rest:
Ham 4.45 Pull The Pin 2 pts win Leic 5.25 Penina 2 pts win Epsom 8.25 Compton 2 pts win
The bank starts the day at 126.40 pts

Bri 2.05 Tigers Home 1 pt win 3rd 5/2 / Johnny Splash 1 pt win W 5/2
After a bight start things took a definite turn for the worse!
Ham 4.45 Pull The Pin 2 pts win 3rd 7/2 Leic 5.25 Penina 2 pts win UNPL Epsom 8.25 Compton 2 pts win UNPL
So a loss of 4.5 pts on the day drops the bank back to 121.90 pts

Let's hope there is a winner or two in today's bunch!

Nott 3.30 Barracuda Boy 1 pt win UNPL / Fast Edge 1 pt win 3rd 10/1 Newb 5.15 Ray Of Joy 2 pts win UNPL Nwmk 6.50 Baltic Brave 1 pt win W 7/2 / About Turn 1 pt UNPL Pont 7.30 Singeur 1 pt win UNPL / Fitz Flyer 1 pt win UNPL Nwmk 7.50 Commanche 1 pt win UNPL / Light From Mars 1 pt win W 7/1 Pont 9.05 Makin The Blues 2 pts win UNPL
