I Love Punting , Providing Selections & Chatting Gibberish ; & I Intend To Do So On Hyah

:(

no good there

4th Golden Gal was best what could be mustered from three picks ☹️😓

4.00 Catterick

Good to soft

in this almost bang on 6fs race, the well-punted jolly Special Mayson ~11/10, is not w/o obvious claims. can win over 6 & 7 furlongs, and is a seven furlong course winner. has a nice piece of form from last Oct on good Leicester ground. is a smidge out of form lately, and that Leicester win saw him pretty much make all. Leicester a sharper track methinks, so am thinking that fav could well be nabbed over this Catterick 6fs trip, if planning on a make all bid. even if he's held up, i think he's well vulnerable

not liking low draw (mebbe it's just selective bias there 🤣) neither

anyhow, have chanced in-running lay at short odds. put up ~ 1/10 in hope. may chance place-lay yet come show

conspiracy theorist in me reckons books trimmed the jolly just to get more money for him, hahahaheehee ;)

only two places, but I think ROUNDHAY PARK ~ 14s EW NAP has outstanding claims under the prevailing conditions. 6fs on stiff track on goodish is good enough for me. is also down in trip from two goes on heavy ground over seven furlongs. 'Green Shoots' aplenty imo

Motawaazy's ~ 5/1 win claims are obvious too, So will have saver on Connor Beasley's mount

:)

thankee j@u 😊

bestest winner i've had in long time - yippee 😁

best of luck to us both with Windsor Pass 🙏 😊

an outsider wins

Princess Karine in the van , fades , but holds on for third

other pick - Ventura Flame - never involved

Dandy Dinmont only 4th

loss of shrapnel incurred - not 2 bad all told

enuf racing for me today

😊

just shy of two hours til first race at Donny: Good-good to soft in places were t;Going stated for Donny, when y'day me glanced at card

just as well me no wasted me time studying, cos it's now Soft - good to soft in places

some persistent rain here last night / late last eve, but i didn't notice it being that heavy - mebbe cos i were mostly indoors

must've been similar, or a lot worse across t'pond, to change the going

#have noticed "trap 4" won last two renewals of the Doncaster 7f opener - both were on Good to firm and in fields of 11 and 14 runners tho, if that makes a diff

looked at the one drawn 4, the lightly-raced and first-time cheekpiece wearing El Royale ~ 10/1, and it's hard to make a case for Appleby horse in 1.40

Hoots Toots ~5/1 fav/joint fav #don't scream winner to me. lightly-raced, and has hit a purple patch recently winning his last three races. the 2nd and 3rd last ones were over 1m on AW at Southwell, and t'Grey's lto did come on the turf, and over 7f on soft going at Thirsk, but in a slow time. hard to find fault with that form - time notwithstanding - as horse travelled like a dream throughout

#but what do I know!

only looked at a few here in 1.40, and they're mostly all-weather merchants in t'main, so perhaps i were 'asty discounting 'oots Toots. try going WIN only on HOOTS TOOTS in Doncaster 1.40 @ ~ 7/1 on exchanges.. might've been race ran in slowish time, but can only beat what's in front of yer, and horse looks on t'improve

HARD !

both finished in bottom half of field - luckily enuf I didn't watch the race 😪

apologies to anyone what followed :(

it's a sign methinks - enough for today

have backed two of miss j@utis' three picks - all bar the one in the ~2m race, and dat'll do me

g'day all :)

ta j@utisee 😃

no joy today, but not much losses neither 😊

5 flat meets on tomorrow - 2much to study

what with the drastic going changes, it seems pointless bothering to look until a race or two into ye meets

not gonna force meself into picking a pick just for the sake of things

me brain hurts, 'nd me noggin's groggy too 😁

if i see owt tomorrow, i'll put it up, but no study tonight. usually find nighttime is best time for study, in general, but this heavy weather just has us plum tuckered out 😓

hope you've an enjoyable wkend missus 🤧

l'OP numero deux 😋

Morning j@u 😊

bit sickened at the difficulty levels of racing meself - omens is telling us "don't waste our time"

Looked at Al Mubhir's (10/11 fav in Leicester 3.05) race , and thought I could find chinks - not really, but i tried finding a better priced alternative

pen tentatively (not an assured stayer o'er 1m) on Wobwobwob there, who's not an assured stayer, but was 10s in paper, and tho heavy ground is also a concern, a moderate staying on 4th lto at Redcar over 7, looked respectable enough in context of race

checked prices a few mins ago, and he's into ~ 15/2 from 14s! might've had a lil win at 10s - he don't really seem an each way pick -esp as it's 7 horse race

Maysong ~7/1 has similarish claims to me pick, but don't really appeal neither, at prices

no bettee there

F'SAKE

might as well leave dis racing craic off

:)

5.15 Ripon

looked at a few of them. I think Isla Kai ~ 9/2 , and Darkness ~ 10/3 are opposable

not too bad thought I - might get one at a price

Looked at Harker's Scottish Summit, and thought: "albeit a 10yo, he's got 'back in day' soft ground form, so will do"

price gone on that one too - 12s from 18s :( 😒

small each way on SCOTTISH SUMMIT 12/1 regardless. aint got a bad draw neither (box 8) ,, last two winners came from boxes 7 & 6 (altho they were on top o' 'ground)

looked at very few else of them

😊

:(

Intrinsic Bond goes close, but was nabbed late on 😓

Mondammej out da places

sarcasm so 😋

didn't see the race - stone last the 13/8 j/jolly finished

John McConnell doing very well lately,, another 25 Bags for coming second there with Anna Bunina - ata big price

was wrong about Isla Kai (being opposable) - wins at 6s :(

Scottish Summit places @16s (3rd) so dat's summat - summit - "summat" heheheh 😋

not seen the race. will watch replay later on

disgusting when a horse isn't "given every opportunity" 😒

in 9,o'c Wolves DEW YOU BELIEVE 17/2 EW , has no obvious chance on recent poor form, but wasn't unfancied lto over c & d. former CD winner persists with the extended mile, and will do me here

Okeanos ~ 7/4 fav is opposable on account of his being stepped up in trip, imo, but does look most likely

Inexplicable ~ 9/4 will surely be there or thereabouts, but has had thirteen runs since his last victory (over CD) in November gone - with 5 of those over course and distance, and a fair few 'crossbar jobs' amongst them

g'luck

Morning 😁

very tired is me, just looked on hyah for inspo.

Mystic Pearl well supported. Sire has 2 turf winners in times recent, but they was over 6furlongs on soft. leave that one off - hope it wins for ya missus. in that race, I looked at one I backed before: GOMETRA GINTY 20/1 EW. has gone well in the past over CD - has a win and a second from back in 2021. mainly been campaigned over 7furlongs since - will do me. drifting like a barge tho, but I'll not let that worry us

Muzaffar ~ 12/1 EW 5,15. had very quick look, and his 2nd and 3rd last runnings on t'Tapeta over 11 & 12 furlongs at Newcastle and Southwell looks good enough for me 😊

in 4.45 Mystic Pearl race, thought it strange Haggas sending one up north for a Class4 were a bit unusual. checked it out and he's some strike-rate since 2010 - 41% win record in that timeframe, with twenty winners from 49 runners sent to Scottish venue

barring ur two missus, i've not had a look at owt else. too wrecked me

best of luck with yours j@u 🤣

on that 4.45 Muss race:

Gometra Ginty just off the pace early - in front rank and travelling okay ~ 3fs out. looking ominous (well he was ~ 20/1 🤣) at around the two pole, and fades...

well-backed jolly Elim wins, the Dalgleish/Fanning horse made a race of it in second, and got close without ever looking likely

first two , then everything else nowhere; looked about 10lgths back to the third on original viewing - in a mile hcap !!

mebbe it's a bit worse than Good to soft - either that, or the first two was waay better than rest,,, was a Fillies' Handicap tho, so there is that 😝

t'Wench's pick come fourth

too good is ire j@u to be stuck on 'lukewarm' list

better days ahead 🙂

! Hon Muzaffar !
