My picks for the "big six" on day one.

Precision Break
Winter Memories
Evening Jewel
A Z Warrior
Midday
Blind Luck

I like the look of Precision Break & Midday but I'm starting to get put off for two points

one: Everyone else seems to fancy Precision Break aswell, tipped up in racing post


two: Ladbrokes seems to be out to get Midday, went 6/4 this morning and now stan james/betpack have her 6/4 for the next hour. Why so big

They must fancy her not to act on the really firm ground and expect her to jar on it

I'm always pessimistic when ladbrokes go really big on a horse

9/1 on Precision Break is a good price (on PP) but I'd be wary. Worth an e/w bet but I'd keep my eye on the markets too. I suspect that the backing of Precision will begin to waver soon. Some good place value bets going too: Acoma in the 11.30 is 14/1 and Harmonious is currently 7/1 in the 22.50.

that caught my eye also when lads were biggest as i was planning to have
a decent bet on midday and then i go and look at the racing post and
their lay of the day is midday so ive ended up laying rather than backing it.
Theyre saying the ground and the fact that its a stronger renewal
this time around as their reasons for laying it

they got it right but only just and they saved me a packet
midday looked unlucky though

the magic sign got it right again
it always makes me sit up and notice
got a horrible run through alright though

shaggykev

they are going top price the big three today

zenyatta/goldikova/workforce

I can see Goldikova getting beat alright, Workforce wont suit the track either but might win as the field looks compeletly inferior to him and Zenyatta again its only the surface that can beat her as she's well clear of these horses on ratings

Hoki

Its not often i back horses but iv seen so many videos of Zenyatta put up on facebook over the last 24 hours that iv gone & stuck a score on him @ 2/1!

Goldcupfav

Master Of Hounds
Boys At Toscono
Proviso

5 ew treble pays around 1100 if they all win. All get placed pays 60 ish.
Get on !!

OutlawPete

Just seen this thread today after starting the webcam threa.

Had Midday last night .. thought he had it

On Uncle Mo tonight in the 7.55.

mailburner

a massive rule 4 in the first one

Gavin "shels"

Paco Boy and Beethoven for me in the 8.40.

mailburner

bloody hell

that was easy

OutlawPete

EASY!!!!

Go on the Uncle MOoooooooooooooooo!!

5/2 with Hills ..

x PyRo

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

OutlawPete

Small bet on Paco Boy there, left it too late.

Win for Ireland though

Fav backers are doing well too.

mailburner

goldi is the real superstar tonight no matter what happens
i don't think ive ever lost a cent on her.

ive a nice sweat now on bekhabad and im struggling to find one
to beat it in all fairness especially without workforce there and
i think it looks to be in a different class to the rest of that field

Nulty

Debussy (6/1) & Zenyatta (2/1) double for interest 20/1

savers on Al Khali (13/2) and Musket Man ew (25/1)...desperate to get a winner in the BC

argosy2006

good luck nutly, Zen for me

mailburner

seriously disappointing run by bekhabad

Nulty

(x 1,000,000)

Better off putting a flame to my money

argosy2006

i have dangerous Midge and Zen in a double,

ft9

Small bet of 5quid on Looking At Lucy, random selection for the crack, know nothing about any of the horses hence such a small stake.

Nulty

Happy for Meehan. I'm a big fan of his.

EDIT:
Also Martin Dwyer deserves a mention of course. Mixed emotions I'm sure

mailburner

not sure what to think of this race

i dont know the opposition and zenyatta didnt look great
winning her last race

either way i cant lose on her thanks to pp

ft9

Who won?

Nulty

Oh dear!

What an effort though. Such a big field aswell.

argosy2006

wtf , so far back, yet flyings up,, but jockey at fault, really trying to be to clever, should have been few lengths closer going into turn,
