You gonna post selections anyway XP?

You done well today.

x PyRo

I'll stick up a few mate, won't get to see them run though.

Didn't do too badly - staked 7pts, returned 16.62pts with a profit of 9.62pts. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! I always do crap the day after making a profit so it may be best to lay anything I put up. :pac:

ft9

Are you going away for a while or whats the crack?

In other words, am I gonna miss out on your selections for Wed and Thur in Galway ?

x PyRo

I'll be partying hard at a function (:pac:) tomorrow night. I highly doubt that I'll be fit enough to get things up on Wednesday, but Thursday will be covered. I've little else to be at!

A day without looking at a race will do no harm anyways, the oul' brain is fried into a million pieces at this stage! I'll definitely be cheering on Canford against Frankel. Can't wait for that, should be beyond epic.

ft9

Can't wait for it myself, but i'll be roaring on Frankel!! Hope he takes off like a train again

x PyRo

If he takes off like a train then I'll eat my own leg off if Canford can't catch him. That would be playing into CC's hands big time and I doubt it'll happen. Although every way I look at that race I fail to see how Frankel can beat Canford.

I'm blinded my monetary love though. :pac:

ft9

Yeah, restraint is key on Frankel this time, I just love the sight of him bolting on though. Should be class!

Fingers crossed it goes a little better than the king george, devestating stuff.

ft9

Ya might get a chance to do a bit of investigating into the plate for us XP

x PyRo

Anyone wanting my advice in a NH race should be shot! Bar that hurdle winner today, I just can't pick 'em. Will take a look anyways.

ft9

I never said I'm gonna back them, I like to take your views, and other tipsters and mash them up against my own and maybe take 1 or 2 reasonably confident bets for the day.

I wouldn't have asked ya only look at your poxy start today!

+9.62pts yesterday after a 9/1 winner in the first, followed by 20 & 25/1 places in the next couple. The other four were poor enough.

Same thing again, either 1pt win or 0.5pts e/w. No time for reasoning (thoroughly studied all the races though, God help me), although a couple of the Goodwood ones are posted in my challenge/log thread.

Goodwood

2:35 - Hurricane Higgins - e/w @ 28/1

Galway

5:05 - Raggletagglegypsy - win @ 8/1
5:35 - Sarteano - win @ 6/1
6:10 - Dusty Trail - e/w @ 16/1, 4 places
6:45 - Lightening Stricks - e/w @ 14/1, 4 places
7:15 - Skipping this one
7:45 - Footprint - win @ 8/1
8:15 - Also skipping this, fav should win but terrible price.

Looks like a bookies benefit day for sure.

Good shout on Namibian lads. Hurricane Higgins went out early and was in second but couldn't stay the pace the last couple of furlongs unfortunately.

Derek!

Third place, brilliant :rolleyes:

kippy

Great call on Requinto Lads!!
"invested €100 today on a selection of the tips above (that was the first race I bet on) and got 73.60 back!

UrbanSea

I make a small profit if my double loses. Waiting for the second part of it,if it wins I earn myself a fair few squids

Only 4th. Raging.

realdanbreen

I think 'Miss Mary Mac' @9-1 in the 5.35 is good e/w value.
