nap for tommow newmill at leopardstown to upset that talking horse mark the man

evillive

here's my tips for today, i'm sure you all can make up your own minds though

1.05 Arch Rebel - backed him at xmas and couldnt have been more impressive on his first spin in public over hurdles - we all know noel meades horses are out of sorts but this one is classy
1.35 How is Things - ok tentative choice
2.05 The Railway Man - won his maiden hurdle here in fine style
2.35 Mark The Man - if arch rebel goes well in the first get on , last race too bad to be true - if arch rebel flops stay away
3.05 Victram - ultra consistent
3.40 Rule Supreme e/w - as an alternative to beef or salmon, if his jumping holds up he'll be at least second, his finishing burst behind baracouda was impressive even though it was over hurdles
4.15 Never Compromise - obvious choice
4.45 Gday Mate - JP Magnier being let loose on someone else's horse other that his fathers' mus be confidence behind both

Tough day I think...



Lots of "bankers" at miserable odds...

I've started at 1.05 with Strangely Brown, banking on Arch Rebel messing up.
1.35 Reine Des Reines is tipped all over
2.05 Sweet Klin is suggested, but I might skip this on
2.35 Carrigeen Victor e/w but no real value, perhaps skip this race
3.05 Loughanelteen e/w long shot
VICTRAM (3:05 Leopardstown) @ ~ 9/2
NATIVE STAG (3:05 Leopardstown) @ ~ 7/1
Maybe decide what to do there...

3.40 Rule supreme tempinting e/w, as is Pizarro So maybe just take short odds on BoS ... maybe take a miss here
4.15 Never Compromise ... weak odds

English Bets:
SHES OUR NATIVE 3-20 Hrfd e/w ... dunno where got this tip ...
Taranis 2:20 Hrfd
Goblin 3:30 Muss
Carte Diamond 3:00 Muss
Pewter 3.50, Hrfd

All weak odds but the last fella,

Still haven't decided how am gona play todays bets, will see how it goes!

Best of luck folk

Some excellentwork there chump...super selections. You should have more confidence in your choices though, forget the price.

Well Done.

Just one for me today.

Cash and Carry in the 3.05. An imroving horse who looks a bit too big for this.

Rule Supreme.....you need to learn to trust yourself Chump!!

chump

ah yea!

Terrible result that for me... as had a forecast... ah well!

Things I had though...
3:50 Pewter Light ... I foolishly took him at SP and lost out on 7/1, but still won well here
3:20 Shes Our Native ... Nice priced winner again
3:05 Loughanelteen paid up at 12-1 coming in 4th
2:35 Carrigeen Victor ... sweet litte win
1:35 had both Court Leader & How Is Things e/w ... 2nd and 3rd, shame didn't win it
1:05 Strangely Brown, nice winning start to the day
If only i JUST betted on these ones...

but
Big losers were:
I've learnt today to stop doing those stupid forecasts, especially when the weathers bad... play to win, even if it's crap money
I lost a lot on forecasts today... on mostly whims... but overall came out well on top

But Never Compromise and Beef or Salmon had terrible days and really let me down! Shame on them

And my little brother ended up doing better than me by playing the cards straight... he had a few late uk wins too

ran an absolute stinker.did anybody hear if there was something amiss with the horse?
i think they should drop him back to 2 miles as he pulls too hard for anything further.
