    Investing is also gambling, just with smarter suits (occasionally) and slower outcomes (usually). :D

    Long term investment= a 3 mile chase
    Short term investment=5 furlong sprint

    Giving Sixties Queen 9/1 (Lingfield 2.30) a shot today. That price is on Boyles

    Recently moved to a new yard, and today a brand new jockey is aboard. The first race out for the new yard (on 24 March) looked very much like a feeler race to me (odds drifted on course that day too if that means anything). Was held near the back all race, and was only asked to push very late on. Full effort was never given IMO.

    The bad thing though is that the horse has a huge history of giving up in the final furlong. So I am kinda hoping a month in a new yard might have help change this.

    The old yard has a horse in the race too (Jessy Mae), so part of me wants the new yard to stick it to the old one! :p

    hey tinodz are you backing bertie blu boy again today?

    Missed out on all racing yesterday, so never noticed. To be honest, I think I would have had a small bet after the last outing if I was looking!

    Sixties Queen was only 3rd in the end. Sorry Clareman - or anyone that else that was on for it to win.

    Don't think the horse ran out of steam in the last furlong though this time as it was still pushng - so maybe the new yard is helping.

    You should never apologise for giving a tip/fancy, it's not giving them that needs to be apologised for. 10s are normally my limit for an each way bet, don't know if that's right or wrong

    Hoping for a French invasion at Aintree with the first 3 picks. And sticking with the home team with the last one. Not a lot of thought gone into these, just done a L15...

    Clarcam
    Was knocked about a bit at Cheltenham and jumped a few badly that did not help things. However, he enjoys this track, and came a really close second in a Juvenile Hurdle here in 2014 (video here). Ruby is aboard now too for the first time, and should give him great ride

    Bristol De Mai
    Interesting they chose to sidestep Cheltenham even though the horse was fit (I believe). Also, the fave is too short for me to consider even though it is top quality.

    Silviniaco Conti
    3 out of 3. No problem :pac:

    Rock on Ruby 3/1
    Cannot be on Arctic Fire - unproven for what is needed here. Can not bring myself to back Jezki. So, decision made

    PS I am ready for all four to lose - as Aintree and me are not friends!

    It actually paid back €39... not amazing, but good for just 2 winners in a L15 with just a €1 stake

    €4 and €7 Single on the 2 winners €28 Double

    If Rock on Ruby won the last race, then it would have been €200ish, and if all 4 won it would have been €2000+

    I actually have no idea how much a EWL15 would have paid here though.

    Think today is a minefield compared to yesterday, open fields all over the place.

    Tiny, small, little stake EWL15 on...

    Theinval 8/1 (1:40)
    Based purely on going/distance stats there are a ton of plus points, so I think he should well up for this

    Cardinal Walter 8/1 (2:15)
    Think he might be a low enough weight to have this - even though the fave is very solid

    Ainsi Fideles 9/1 (2:50)
    Saphir Du Rheu was not amazing at Cheltenham IMO (Even though he finished 2nd). Zarkandar would have knocked him down to third too, if he did not get hampered. Also, he is back over fences today again, and he has a history of not liking those. Cannot bring myself to back Saphir Du Rheu, but Ainsi Fideles is both an experienced chase horse, and has won over this distance in the past too. Only horse with those two plus points in the whole field.

    Darna 16/1 EW (4:05)
    Thought the effort at Cheltenham was great, but watching a replay of the race mistakes were made . If today is a clean run, and a similar effort, I could see it placing at least.

    Main bet of the day...

    Champagne Fever 7/2 (3:25)
    He has this surely?

    Not a great day...

    Theinval won, but was only part of an EW L15, so not a big return. Everything else except Darna (who was a faller) was 4th!

    I'm just back from a week travelling for work with lots of rich meals, wines, brandy and stuff, just a couple of bottles of beers to finish it off will do fine. Unless you have more tips :D
