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

am disgusted missus

doin nowt til Sat'dee, me 😧

brutally chronic is most favourable way i can describe that #"tiktak" of Willie's 😓

#not exactly up there with summat Ryan Moore done years ago on some course what had trees on it - forget the race, but he won from complete opposite side of what t'others were racing on,,, Shoemark, (today) , on the other hand, goes {pretty much} the "WRONG EFFING WAY" for 50yards or so 😲 #that's not any kind of "possible racewinning 'tactic' " what can be explained using any kind of logic known to man 😴

am too traumatised to study for tomorrow - think it's la "BabeNations" nd "A Place in t'Sun" for us in days upcoming, our j@u 😃

btw, that were a "Yorkshire" us in line above , ie "me" is what's meant by us 😊

GL with ur puntees missus anyhoo - hopefully you can treat defeat , victory and crooked rides (esp crooked rides) all with the same disdain and indifference, and no let it affect your racereading abilities in races upcoming thereafter 🤗

tekk us a while to get over that - be at least bedtime before pain eases ;)

no matter what happened or transpired at the start (that us TV/Bookies' Feeds viewers couldn't possible be expected to see) - if indeed he was possibly "forced" to go left - Shoemark definitely owes us punters an explanation

oh, and well done to the horse (or, "punters" who'd have backed said horse, moreso) that placed 10th 😲 - it was enough to win "Match Bet" 'tween him and another horse - latter which did well to lose that match, given it were only a 13 runner field!! had i had backed King Kraken @ ~ 11/8 to "win" a "match-bet" in a 13 runner affair, and le bette was victorious, and my ("winning") pick obliges by coming 4th last , then even if i was losing for t'day, it'd seem like a "winning" one,,,,,

,,,,,, and vice versa, obvs 😃😅😓😪😒

Ascot - Saturday

Soft-heavy in places on round course

2,40 Victoria Cup

allowing for ground no better than soft; for reaons multitudinous, us pen landed on these five

TOTALLY CHARMING 8/1 EW , PEROTTO 14/1 EW , SAFE VOYAGE 16/1 EW , ZIP 28/1 EW & ADMIRAL D 20/1 EW

slightly worried about Clive Cox pair: Kingdom Come ~ 7/1 featuring man of the hour 😂😓 Kieran "Willie Shoemaker" Shoemark , as horse is on upgrade but untested on Soft going & River Nymph ~ 12/1 who's a former winner of this race from 2021, but has had no prep run this year, so jury is out on Adam Kirby mount

even money Taylor picks one o' us five potentialles, above,,, was 11/8, but that was "snapped up" in seconds - some "shrewd oddscheckers" are scratchin' they heads wondering where TF the 'supposed' 11/8 was ever offered up - by any real or imaginary (obvs, as is for purposessss amusemawnt - but ye principle <of prices 'claimed' by HT fanbois/hungry corporate koonts🙄> of the ostensibly "unavailable" prices standeth) layers, was e'er available at - for any kinda coin 😪🙄😒

mebbe go €2 win + €2 each way on ye five picks , but doin' nowt til late tomorrow eve or Saturday - can neither trust the Going nor tipster Hugh Taylor's reputed P/L +Profit figures, being two solid racing/punter maxims; meaning ground could well be Good to Firm yet, so keep powder dry for anudder 24 hrs at least 🤣

weather forecast saying raining today+tomorrow at Berkshire track, and cloudy and sunny come Sat'dee

:)

8,10 Thirsk

SPARKS FLY 11/4 WIN

8,30 Chelmsford

wide open race with not a lot of out and out pace on, so it would seem - KENTUCKY KINGDOM 7/2 EW is one what had an apprentice atop last two rides, but Joe Leavy(7) is now replaced by Duggie - who's a good man on a hold-up ride and has won twice on horse before

t'gambled on Semser @ ~ 7/4 fav appeals if going on last CD run (August '22) when winning Class5 affair in a very fast time. has a tendency to be slow away, and wasn't fast out the gates when gaining that CD success 5 runs back, but has flopped last four starts since then - none of 'em at Chelmsford. would've appealed at earlier 7/2, but with the shrewd Moore coin coming, i think he represents zero value here

:)

Sparks Fly !!

good girl Laura 😁 early doors 10/11 jolly 😮 wins by ~ 6lgths @ 15/8 😁

drift were "wrongk" - ole leff: he knew 🤣 🙂

no good - out money in third; jock finding trouble didn't 'elp :(

ne'er in contention :(

g'nite 'nd guud luck

8.40 Nottingham

Close Quarters appeals on form (4th last time on soft - by Fast Company what thrive on heavy) but not on price : 11/8 from ~ 11/4. only had the six runs but price looks skinny nonetheless

not a massively confident one here: ENDERMAN 11/2 WIN mainly races on AW or on Good ground, but his only win from 29 runs come over the 6furlong trip at Redcar on Soft, and has come 4th before on his only go on proper Heavy ground - albeit way back in Oct '21 at Leicester

would've backed fav if me looked at race earlier , but me didn't , so just small win on t'pick

gl

all told a poor showing by the picks - from about 1/2mile out writing were pretty much on t'wall for t'brace :(

@t'Wench - git ya finger oot and gi'us a few for #2moro 😁

me homework is did - going at Ascot still given as Soft-heavy in places, which seems strange as sun practically beating down here all day in my locality - they do things different across the pond I s'pose ! 😂

only joking above our j@u 😊 lovely weather at out; me hopes u is 'njoying it 👍️ 😆 🎠 🏊️ 🍹

😁

me's prolly gonna be busy "early doors" on t'morrow and mayn't be "threadside" , but let me say: Good Luck with all yer picks j 😊🤣😊

still "soft-heavy in places" on racecarde...

... which is good for me picks ☺️

whether they'll run like i hope they will is anudder ting entirely 😝

anyroad , most books going 5 places - with a few offering 6, so that'll do

Prices current:

TOTALLY CHARMING 5/1 :( , PEROTTO 14/1 , SAFE VOYAGE 12/1 , ZIP 33/1 , ADMIRAL D 20/1

they'll do at them prices for me

won't be going o'erboard on this race, tis wide open 🤣

Totally Charming is probably deserved favourite. can easily enough make cases for four of the single/close to single figures' horses (no's 16, 5, 9 & 2) in betting, here, far as being involved; but it's tough race to solve, and none of them four referenced look like massive value, nor do they look as ones jumping off page as likely winners 🤣

G'l

have done no further homework for tomorrow; am hoping it be too good of a day for to be stuck indoors 😆

STAR SOUND 4/1 EW in 8.10 will do here on her first run in hcap. yet to race on turf so can't be ruled out on soft/heavy ground. favourite is a bit short - has won on Good to firm and on Soft; has won her last four, but no heavy ground form, and perhaps her run will come to an end today. just two places, but very open 6 horsey race

Appleby's Eponina ~ 4/1 won this last year on ~good to firm, and is a previous CD winner on Heavy Going. likes to make all tho, and me no likee make-all type nags

i is stumped for today 😌 🙄

there be better days for losing money 😂

anyroad, gl me and our j@u and @TomEaves and Star Sound in Leicester 8.10

😊

8.25 Warwick

wide open. pen landed on MOLLY'S THIRD MAN 22/1 EW

:)

could have found that 14/1 Leicester winner, King Of Speed, if going back to Nottingham run last Oct - similar Going, but staying on o'er shorter at the minimum trip.. been mainly on AW since 😒

ah well - one more

8.40 Leicester BIG BEAR HUG 3/1 WIN

April Nottingham run would give this filly chance of dropping maiden tag here,,

g'Luck

winner at last 

😏



😊



Big Bear Hug = 1st ,, just holds on - was getting hairy late on with jolly coming fast

well he was no good, that Yaaser - got run when needed, up on t'inside, but was flagging ~100/~150yds from jamstick

had a squizz at Tuesday - looked one race at Wetherby

Going - Good to soft-soft in places

Tuesday

Wetherby

6.30

EMILY POST ~8/1 EW with ye upwardly mobile, Ed Bethell, nowadays, is daughter of Charming Thought. little evidence, but absence shouldn't be a major problemo. a winner on the AW and on Good to firm ground; has not had many attempts on softer going, but a third place last Oct at Musselburgh in a Class3 when a little unlucky in running, would gi'e her claims here

FIRST GREYED ~20/1 EW not a likely winner but goes well in Class5s over ~7furlongs with juice in t'ground. place claims. almost 200 days' layoff do temper enthusiasm a tad

ZUMURUD ~20/1 EW is dropping down weights is le reason here

easy enough to draw a line thru provisional market leaders, imo, if one were minded to 😄

Slainte Mhaith ~3/1. unproven at north of 6fs

Al Baahy ~5/1. yet to win. overall turf form uninspiring

Rocket Rod ~5/1. all three wins come on the AW. aint even raced on turf in getting on for two years

Lilikoi ~6/1. this one looks like it wants a mile on the turf, and possibly also would prefer top of t'ground anyhoo

#Finlandwererobbed#fekkthecheatingassedeurovisionkoonts

no wonder a mediocre song -even in t'context of other mediocre songs- was sent off odds on jolly; it's cos the fix was in

#fkpunting

hard to git up for studying/punting when some events are already decided in advance 😒

🙂

good post missus 😂
