    When not entered by the the trainer ?????????

    If you are suggesting that within the 4 day declaration period ( which gives you a choice of around 900 horses)you cannot come up with 2 horses that might win or be placed in a race then i think that you may need to consider taking up a different pastime.

    Harry. Mark Presscott is keeping South tipperary going with all his greyhounds[Marshell prefix] a real nice guy.An outdoors man is at lot coursing meetings in Ireland.

    Sting, I don't doubt that Mark Prescott is a nice guy but he usually has a habit of initially running his horses over the wrong distances in order to get them a decent handicap mark. I don't mind backing his horses in Group races but I wouldn't back them in handicaps.

    Looking at tomorrows Bangor card I can see AP having 3 or 4 winners.

    And at the likely prices I'd rather avoid them

    If Interested look at the maiden win of Learn at leopardstown and pay special attention to the horse that finished 4th,Akeed Mofeed.I was there to back a withdrawn horse in the race but I was totally blown away by this horse.Murtagh never had the horse in the race he was so far back comming into the straight and to finish where he did,wow.He runs next Sat in Leopardstown in a hot maiden[Athens for AOB].Up in the first is good so is the beautifully bred Wading.

    If you had done one of my trixies you'd have had a nice little return.

    What I've noticed is as follows,

    1) If there is a handicap race during the week where it looks as if there about 5 or 6 horses that could win it and are listed at big odds then the favourite always wins.

    2) Mark Prescott horses seem to go from nothings to wonder horses in the space of two races over 1.4 1.6 furlongs.

    3) Popular horses rarely win and are just there to detract from favourites.

    Dandy Nicholls is usually good for a winner at Southwell.

    Follow the money on an Alan McCabe runner
