Comments from Alan King below

Inchicore could do with the rain returning as she is a mare who revels in the soft. Last week 10.4mm fell on the Rowley Mile, but it has been a dry October so far and 5mm of water were applied on the course on Wednesday and Thursday.

However, there is precious little of the wet stuff expected there today – maybe (1-3mm) late afternoon or early evening – and, with Newmarket describing the ground as ‘good’ for today’s racing and with a dry forecast tomorrow, underfoot conditions won’t be ideal for the mud-loving Inchicore, who won on easy going at Goodwood in May and ran well to finish third when last seen at the Doncaster St Leger meeting.

🤔

She is Galileo offspring so we might get away with it anyway 7 places so fingers crossed

rotten luck with Dragons Call in 6f sprint del 😪 might have been involved; high numbers fared well in that race.

Yes a day to forget two bets = 10pt loss

Bank +24.2pts

Ffos las 3.45 ROBBIE DAZZLER 2pts e/w 16/1 Hills 4 places

OK can I just explain something here, I have been called an "clueless idiot" for losing 30% of my bank on a 30 runner and 23 runner handicaps.

Lets take a look at the type of horses well some of them we back, I am looking for what I think are well handicapped horses at the moment I back them and with that comes the type of race I back in (mostly handicaps) and the price of the horse.

Again lets take a look at the horses I picked

3.55 CUMULONIMBUS 2pts e/w 8/1 skybet 4 places 1st won next time out 11/8

5.10pm Miss Down Under 1pt e/w 14/1 skybet 5 places 1st won next time out 7/2

8.15 Sterling Knight 20/1 1pt e/w 4 places powers unpl won next time out 18/1

7.30 STRIKE RED 2pts e/w 13/2 4 places. 1st won next time out 12/1

I am looking to try be ahead of the crowd I am trying to see the future improvement in the horse before the horse actually shows it. With this way of betting we will have horses that run stinkers and have crap losing runs.

Regarding the bank comments if we ever get to the dizzy heights of +100 pts I would never back 30pts of that bank in one day but when its early and you are only starting to build the bank we have to

speculate to accumulate

Hope this explains our train of thought on here.

This is true however you have to take what your punting experience has thought you and there were other factors

National hunt trainer which normally do well in this race. 11/20

only 5/20 mares last twenty running's 17/44 in the first four places last 9 years

although the 2nd fav (4/1 won and fav (7/2) was 5th....4 favs from last 20 running's indicate to me its a race worth chancing an outsider just picked one that ran on ground it didn't like which was unusual for a Galileo off spring.

Yarmouth 3.00 Marquis of York 1pt e/w 22/1 skybet 4 places

I am only risking 1pt e/w on this one as he can pull hard so if the jockey can't settle him thats game over however he ran a decent 4th at Nottingham as a 2yr old finishing 4th to 76..73..73 rated horses, on this similar track in a handicap where anything can win it 22/1 seems ok.

Fahy has sent 37 horses to Yarmouth over the last 5 years with 5 winning and 13 placing.

The jockey has been riding a few for Fahy (strike red 😀)

Alot of these will find this race too far though our fella night be one I will take the chance at 20s

1.15 makingitup 20/1....2pts e/w Skybet/Hills 4 places

First time cheek pieces, the drop back to 6f, and this kid taking 5LB off makes this interesting add the fact there is rain expected to hit the course overnight so I am willing to play at 20/1.

The kid riding has has 13 rides in the last fourth night and been in the first four 6 times, I know you say what's that got to do with anything however just pointing out he is decent enough plus the fact Andrew Balding uses him a lot so that's good enough for me.

Makingitup finished 6th beaten 4L in a 0-75 handicap at Newcastle last month with 77 and three 75 rated horses in front of him so same rated horses tomorrow hopefully some rain arrives

1.15 makingitup 20/1....2pts e/w Skybet/Hills 4 places 3rd 28/1

I thought for a minute we might get there but too late.

3.00 Marquis of York 1pt e/w 22/1 skybet 4 places 5th 😕

very unlucky not to collect on both bets today with Marquis getting caught for 4th right on the nod but still 4 pts profit on the day.

Bank +32.6pts

Str

yes I only got 20/1 also as skybet do not give greater odds on races they pay extra places

Nottingham 5.15 High Opinion 2pts e/w 14/1 Skybet 4 places 2nd 22/1 nutted by the 66/1 rag 😥 😥 😥 3.6pts profit

Bank +32.2pts

I don't mind looking at a race again after we have had a bet in it but in general I don't discuss how the horses ran when they lose or run terrible as punters seem to look at there losers thru rose tinted glasses however sometimes you need to look at the way the horse ran.

Take CAPTAIN VALLO Tuesday evening, his race comments for Newcastle Prior to Tuesday were

Tracked leader, pushed along 2f out, ridden when close up 1f out, kept on and led inside final 110yds, no extra towards finish, headed final stride (op 3/1) 2nd first five horses home were rated 89..73..86..88..73

Midfield, headway from over 2f out, ridden to lead 1f out, kept on (op 3/1) 1st first five rated 73..66..68..73..73

Towards rear of midfield, pushed along 2f out, headway and close up 1f out, ridden and went second inside final furlong, kept on (op 15/2) 2nd first five rated 76..72..76..69..70

Comments for Tuesday race below

Took keen hold, prominent against near rail, ridden and went second over 1f out, lost position inside final furlong, soon beaten (op 7/2 tchd 10/3) 8th first five rated 62..72..64..55..64

Now we all know some horses fall out of love with racing and regress but I think Captains run on Tuesday was more to do with "not our turn tonight" rather than the horse not holding his form but we shall see over his next few runs at Newcastle

Saturday Leopardstown 5.30 LAELAPS 2pts e/w 16/1 skybet 6 places

Laelaps has only tried the 1m4f trip once but he gave a very good try finishing a flying 4th up the hill at Galway. Race comments below

Dwelt start, held up in rear, pushed along 2f out, still plenty to do 1f out, kept on strongly inside final furlong, went fourth final strides, nearest finish (tchd 16/1)

Ok he is racing against classier types tomorrow but the way he stormed up that hill at Galway bodes well for tomorrow in my view. He has a dosage of 0.64 Has run well on left handed tracks, cheek pieces first time tomorrow plus now back down to

He has raced 20 times and has finished in the first four no less that 11 times, only one of the 20 races were at Leopardstown when he was a 2yr old on heavy going he finished 6th btn 5 and 3/4L. Although the trainer has two horses in the race I am not too keen on 3yr olds in this race so will leave her other horse alone.....watch it p!ss up on the bridle now

Wolverhamton 8.30 BIRD FOR LIFE 2pts e/w 20/1 skybet 4 place

🤣 🤣🤣 10/1 now Bird for life.

Lets hope its the stables money and not some poxy tipster 😄

Ascot 4.40 Casanova 1pt e/w 33/1 skybet 6 places

On the off chance that the draw will favour the low draw on the far side I am going to chance CASANOVA ew. Back in 2019 on heavy going it did favour high drawn horse best. There is rain expected at the course this morning and early afternoon CASANOVA has always looked to me softer ground would suit him. The kid riding him takes 7LB off which puts him on 8st 10LB, he was badly hampered at Galway where he was 5/1fav and believe me stables that go to galway with horses that are favourite in them big handicaps always think they have a few LB in hand so at 33s and 6 places I will take a punt.

at last we bag a big priced winner BIRD FOR LIFE 20/1 2pts ew won 9/1

That's the type of bet we have +42pts profit today loss of six points previous two losers

anyway that brings our bank to a very useful +76.4 points

I thought LAELAPS ran a very good race considering the horse fell a sleep in the stalls and then the stupid jockey tried the inside route at Leopardstown as all the rest of the field flew down the outside.

anyway on to today
