VDW hedgehog/stubble - trying to get lucky

Hello all,

Looked at another race out of boredom

Hamilton 7.00, mujassam, zanetto, hee haw, cameo star

Just getting the winner in this race would be nice but I'll not be betting

Good luck today

Another 1 2 3 but that's not difficult if you pick 4 horses in a 6 horse race. Nice to get the winner though

Good luck tomorrow

Hi hedgehog hedgehog,
just a quick word to say I'm off to Gairloch on a camping trip and won't be posting for at least a week. The batteries are in dire need of a re-charge. Good luck while I'm gone, hopefully you'll get a few winners.

best regards

Hello all,

Have a good holiday Nellsman Nellsman

Thanks Lexicon Lexicon, just got lucky but the wheels fell off my hope 1 furlong out

Curragh 3.10, casimiro, georgian bay, kailee, mayaadeen, red avenger
Curragh 4.55, larchmont lad, so beloved, St Patrick's day
Newbury 3.00, Bacchus, projection, invincible army, equilateral, yafta
Newbury 4.45, rebel assault, homeopathic, ceilidh's dream, melodies
Newmarket 5.10, sea fox, hakeem, rogue

My hopes are with so beloved and maybe sea fox

Good luck today

3/5 in fact 3x1 2 but my hopes were dashed. The ratings are doing fine, it's my form reading that is rubbish. I think I'll be picking pairs until I find out were I'm going wrong

Good luck tomorrow

Hello all,

Curragh 2.55, Caspian Prince, Washington DC, mabs cross, battle of Jericho, declarationofpeace
Curragh 3.30, I'm so fancy, magical, September
Curragh 4.05, terzetto, artistic melody, bona fide
Curragh 4.40, pearl of the west, sandymount duke, cliffs of dooneen, she's a star

Looked at past results and the more qualifiers I have in my shortlist, the less likely it is to catch the winner. I suppose that is just showing the more competitive the race the more likely a unforseen result.

Good luck today

3/4 and 2x1 2. A good day for the ratings

Good luck tomorrow

Hi hedgehog hedgehog,
you're doing well. Just back from my hols and catching up. Looking at the result of the big handicap at Ascot on Saturday, I can't figure why Burnt Sugar was so big in the betting. Was there anything amiss pre-race? I can't see why he was a 20/1 shot.

Thanks in Advance and Regards
Nellsman
 
Hi hedgehog hedgehog,
I've rated the 10 furlong handicap at Goodwood, ratings below.

(1) Dark Red, (2) Afaak, (3) Not So Sleepy.

This race has a few progressive young horses running and I think it would be folly to bet against them. However I'm having a small bet win/loaded place on Not So Sleepy.

Good Luck Today and Regards
Nellsman
 
Hi hedgehog hedgehog, I've looked at the staying handicap at Goodwood, ratings below.

Goodwood 1:50 (1) Coeur De Lion, (2) Kloud Gate, (3) Great Sound.

There is a fly in the ointment in the shape of Lil Rockerfeller. I haven't got an up to date rating for him, but even if he runs up to his old flat form he could go close. And to cap it all there are also some improving 4 year old's in the mix.
Great Sound has never ran over this sort of distance. His recent form is poor, but he has had a wind op and he may be capable of better.
I'm having a small win/loaded place bet.

Good Luck and Regards
Nellsman.
 
Hi hedgehog hedgehog,
pushed for time this morning, but managed to get the mile handicap rated. Ratings below.

Goodwood 3:00 (1) Firmament, (2) Shady McCoy, (3) Master The World, (4) Hors De Combat.

A few things to consider with this race, a high draw seems to be a very big disadvantage and once more there are progressive 4 year old's
to be considered. Firmament is well on top on my ratings but it looks like the stable fancy is Escobar. A fascinating race and one for
watching only.

Good Luck and Regards
Nellsman.
 
Hi hedgehog hedgehog,
I've rated a couple of races today. Ratings below.

Goodwood 2:25 (1) Arch Villain, (2) Soldier In Action, (3) Sir Chauvelin.

This looks a very good race, I have to admit I was surprised by the ratings. Both Soldier In Action and Arch Villain ratings are from last season.
Soldier In Action is trying to win this again and while his form has been nowhere near his best, he has a top pilot and that is a big advantage at this course. While the jockey on Arch Villain ?? well I've never heard of him. After the top 2, the ratings are very tight and it also looks like there are 2 very progressive 4 year old's in the race with very good recent form. I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of them.

Doncaster 4:05 (1) Restorer, (2) Von Blucher, (3) Erik The Red.

Erik The Red is attempting a repeat of last seasons win, he has ran well FTO but has never won FTO. I think the trainer would probably
have liked to get a run into him. I'm not sure if he'll like the drying ground. Von Blucher has not been running well recently. Again there are a couple of fly's in the ointment in the shape of Aasheq who is 4th on the ratings and has very good recent form (I would not be betting against him) and To Dibba who is coming back after being gelded.

Good Luck and Regards
Nellsman
 
Hello Nellsman Nellsman ,

I'm sorry for not responding but I've not been looking at the forum, I've been struggling with my form reading and it isn't going well. Thank you for keeping the thread alive with your ratings and comments, I've not long read them and they are much appreciated. I bet aasheq but it came to nought. Please keep posting while I'm trying to work out when and what to bet.

Thanks again

Good luck today
 
I picked three winners yeterday (ok, I know) (y)
I only backed one of them. (n)
I took 7/1 (good odds) (y)
It was returned at 11/1. (n)

What I want to know is - am I lucky or unlucky ? :confused:
 
Hello Lexicon Lexicon ,

I'd say your lucky to have 3 winners to choose between and if you keep getting 7s you'll be happy with a long term profit irrespective of the sp.

I wish I had those sort of choices

Keep going you're doing well

Good luck today
