After many years of studying the form I've come to the conclusion that it's purely and simply down to your luck on the day...it really is that simple.

It's extremely satisfying when you spend ages reading a race and come up with a conclusion and a result like CP did with Makfi..

Over the years though I've spent hours and hours looking at races and thinking I've found real good things and had decent 3 figure bets and they've been beaten out of sight, and on the other hand there's been times where I've nipped in a bookies with a couple of quid in my pocket and without much thought or attention quickly picked three out and had a treble and won 3 figures!

The most frustrating game in the World at times, but also the best game in the world when things go right.

I'm Ponte bound tomorrow night and am just about to start my work now for the next few hours to see if I can find a winner or two. Our lass and the young un are both coming and will still probably have more joy than me.

The Racing Post is a good site - didn't become a member because can see everything I need to on the free video sites and reading the form for free on the site or on the ATR site.

There's plenty of good trainers for landing a touch and some who gamble everything and it gets stuffed out of site.

Personally don't like backing short-priced horses, would much rather back 33/1 and 25/1 shots each-way with a bit more on the win part than a 4/1 or 9/4 horse as the same things can go wrong but you get less for your stake

A cool 15/2 @ Ladbrokes for Batley to win. Tempted. I am.
