5.20 Pontefract BAILIEBOROUGH

I have posted this horse plenty of times before, both in this type of thread as a selection with a detailed reason, and in my 'system'. It is stuck in my system today, but I think it deserves a bit of an explanation...

I love this horse, and I missed it last time out due to a crazy sleeping pattern, where it won very convincingly @ 12/1. Last time out, it was running in a tougher class than this, but was running a furlong shorter. If any of you watched the race that day, which I could on the ATR day's recap, it could have won over another furlong against that opposition. In the race previous to it's last, it also won very very convincingly.

So, today it comes here, in an 8f race against class 5 opposition. Just check it's previous form, it has won over this distance in this class, this distance in better classes, and in worse. When it won in Beverly in a very similar race to this, it was carrying alot more weight than it is today, thanks to a claimer on board today.

It is entered in a class 4 8f on Sunday in Hamilton.

Now, I am a small bit biased towards this horse, but it has proven it is well capable of doing the business, and if it is anything like it's forecasted price of 13/2 then get on each way.

Opinions anyone?

Missed it myself last time to Jonesie .... will definitely be on board today.

Also like the look of another one of your previous tips "Archimboldo" in the 3.00pm at Yarmouth today <fingers crossed>

Just after taking him @ 9/2. If he wins, it's all goin on Out After Dark on Saturday

scojones · 15-09-2005 3:12pm

I got on @ 13/2 with VC Bet. Here's hoping anyway, knowing my luck, he'll lose today and win at the weekend

masterK · 15-09-2005 3:30pm

I'd say you'll be looking a decent sized rule 4 if you got him at 13/2. 3 other fancied horses have come out. It's one tough race to call. Bailieborough is undoubtably the form horse but note the going has changed to good to soft and all Bailieborough's wins have come on Good or firmer ground.

If I were to oppose Bailieborough I'd be tempted to have an each way bet on Hulla Ballew who is currently 10/1 although the race looks too tricky to have a bet on.

looks like we all have different opinons.

im on measured response. in pontefract

4.10 james caird is currently 10/3 and i am really thinking of putting a huge amount of money on him.

i had money on him in his last race and although he came third i was very impressed with him.

scojones · 15-09-2005 4:08pm

Don't kill me if it loses, it is raining pretty hard over the otherside of the Irish sea!

iloveireland · 15-09-2005 4:09pm

lets hope he wins i put a few brick on him

no one is perfect and you never said he would definatly win.

iloveireland · 15-09-2005 4:16pm

i cant watch the 4.10 race and it takes ages for the result to show.
if anyone is watching it could they please post the result and please say james caird won.

sector · 15-09-2005 4:18pm

sorry man

1st 3 Isidore Bonheur (IRE) 8-1
2nd 4 Climate Change (USA) 6-5 F

iloveireland · 15-09-2005 4:20pm

a bollox.

i had sawwaah earlier and put all my winnings on him.

well thats a typical gambler

scojones · 15-09-2005 4:23pm

The 4.10 was very close, Climate Change being beaten on the line in a photo, the rain did the damage there.

ye i probably should have bought my girlfriend something nice instead.

i got over excited.i couldnt believe saawwah was 8s

fade2black · 15-09-2005 5:18pm

i'll stick in my two cents worth...

I'd like to see Ballieborough do the biz for ye...

But one I think is a little overpriced is Bridgewater Boys. There's no doubt that this is his company and he always runs his race. 14-1. Each-way will do me.

iloveireland · 15-09-2005 5:22pm

post the result please when its over

fade2black · 15-09-2005 5:24pm

Get in there....

Ballieborough does it in fine style

scojones · 15-09-2005 5:24pm

Get in there you beauty, drifted to 7/1 too. Well done to everyone who was on.

Sneaky6 · 15-09-2005 5:25pm

BAILIEBOROUGH wins

Thanks again Jonesie!

hefty_langer · 15-09-2005 5:30pm

masterK · 15-09-2005 8:27pm

Good call sjones, looks like there are one or two boards members who owe you a pint.

Neil_Sedaka · 15-09-2005 9:57pm

Yeah, I'll buy you a pint allright, I had a bit of bad luck earlier but Bailieborough saved the day, thank you
