Sods law! It's always the way.

I'm starting to think putting my selections up on here is a jinx.





The last three main horses I've backed and were gonna write up on here were Wigmore Hall last week (5/1)...Orpsie Boy at Ponte on Friday night (7/2) and Temple Meads yesterday backed at (6's).



Maybe aftertiming at it's best, but that's how it's been.





As well as having a nice bet on Temple Meads yesterday I did have 5 Lucky 15's throughout the day for interest and only had one winner out of 20 selections though!



Any news on Kings Counsel at Redcar Brearley? Looks to have a chance and is favourite....

One bet today over in Ireland at Tipperary. The first graded hurdle race of the season over there is run and I fancy one at a big enough price:



[u16:00 Tipperary (Grimes Hurdle)[/u

Kotkidy - Ex-French trained 4yo hurdler for Henry De Bromhead. He fell on his Irish debut having built up a healthy advantage before being headed and falling heavily at the penultimate hurdle, he has a similar profile to other ex-French now Irish trained hurdlers in Arvika Ligeonniere, Son Amix and Sweet My Lord - who also flopped on their Irish debuts having built up healthy leads/raced prominently before making amends on their next starts. Kotkidy's next start came at Killarney in May over fences when he proved to be 3 lengths too good for the useful hurdler Flag of Honour (Graded placed) when scoring very easily (IMO). He'll appreciate the better ground today and during his racing career in France (4 starts over hurdles, 1 win, 2 2nds and a 3rd) he beat a number of decent horses - most notably President Jose (G3 placed and beaten just over 5 lengths in a Grade 1), Soleil De Sivola (G3 winner over fences), Saint Macaire (G2 winner over fences) and St Nicholas D'Acy (G1 placed over hurdles). I think he'll go very well at a big price.



Advice: Kotkidy 2pts Win, 1pt Place @ 16/1 (Bet365)

Looks like money has come for it. Can only find it at 9s

Eldalil 9/1 E/W in the Oaks

Had a little on Paramount @ 11/1 E/W in next at Curragh



Been close in a few recently step up in class this though

Seem to be coasting in behind but "Miss M Pisarek" did pretty much fccuk all on it



Whats the point?



Stupid cow

i cant believe how much snow fairy seems to have developed over the winter, as she didn't show a great deal last year on the whole. thats the thing more so with fillies though isnt it, you never know how well they'll train on - some not at all.

Had small bet on Pearl Huntsman in 8:10 improved a lot since the last run.

Thank fully, whilst on holiday the dodgy bookie wasn't taking bets on Tipp!

any inside info on the stoute horses for the king george yet anyone?

Workforce is the best of the lot by quite a long way.... Harbinger isn't in his the Derby winners league, Harbinger is also so short i'm laying him too.



Big bet on Workforce to win, and I expect to see him win comfortably on the way to the arc'.

Each-Way bet on Daryakana at a big price - gets her preferred conditions for the first time this season ie. right-handed, 12f and a fast pace.

Naas 7.00



Bewitched 7/1 E/W



Stepped up its form from last year winning first time out and then beating Rainfall who has since won a Group 3 and finished 3rd to Music Show in a Group 1 didn't fire running at 7f last time so now dropped down to 6f again, came 3rd at Ayr over 5f from a wide draw from that race has come a couple of Group 3 winners and placed horses.



Naas 8.00



Fencing Master @ 1.95 and at evens



Well clear of what these have done so far on form and even its 6th last time out has seen Critical Moment and Wigmore Hall who finished in front come out and win again an in behind it Fair Trade came 2nd to Critical Moment and Miss Starlight won a Group 3 in Germany.

I did try and not bet honest CP

Fencing Master f*****

Probably safe to say after that Fencing Master isn't worth another chance. 1/3 Nice win for Bewitched though. Haven't had a bet for weeks now. Workforce may be the one. He didn't win a great Derby, and Harbinger has done everything asked of him in blistering fashion this year, but Workforce is the apple of Sir Michael's eye and Harbinger could struggle to give him nearly a stone. Although, as I've already said, I wouldn't be surprised if Harbinger wins! www.sportinglife.com/racing/news ... 70657.html Thats why I waiting for the day to bet.

Good win for Bewitched today in Naas - ran a blinder at Haydock and a nice figure too. Looks to be an improving filly and going well for her shrewd trainer

Aye, looks well worth following even now in similar types of race.

All you Abergavenny fans out there.....



Entered in two races for Saturday. It'll probably open up at even money and go off 16/1 this time.

Sandown 15:20 Lily Again 6/1 E/W



Leopardstown 19:30 Steinbeck 7/4

Another good price winner





They all what Famous Name with Steinbeck 2/1 now



Because of age and winner of Group races Famous Name has to give a stone in weight which is massive



They did highly rate Steinbeck at home Famous Name is going to have to do better then its last run when just beating a 100 rated horse and giving it 3lbs

The money was spot on



Famous Name running more like the 120 horse it can be there

Been given Holly Hill 8:35 Leop e/w at 7's
