frankel seems much more settled down to get on with the job this year.

as well as being bigger and stronger, he has settled well in both races he's had this year, whereas last year he was trying to storm away after a furlong.

farhh will have to be a good miler to be better than excelebration, and frankel has spanked him twice this season by 11L at ascot and 5L in the lockinge, when he was in need of the run, had missed work and excelebration had the fitness advantage

No arguments with that at all just not a bet I'd want to take 4/6 about but some would and will no doubt cash in later this afternoon.

bit of a kick in the guts today.

backed yellow rosebud, probably would've won in another few strides, and had colour vision (3rd) and hawaafez in as well in an e/w patent, hawaafez just missed out for third.

coulda spat feathers when i seen the result of hawaafez's race, wild coco won after looking as if she didnt handle the track in the race last year or enjoy the ground, which was exactly the same today - only last year i backed her!

also chucked a quid e/w on the meehan horse in the first, looked interesting but lived up to his odds and finished last.

fancy a good day for godolphin tomorrow - dubai prince and gamilati.

smarty socks is at goodwood tomorrow, should be thereabouts, ran well when he went there before

feel hes better at 7 furlong though..and hes had a minor set back thats why hes had a break

rosies lady at thirsk too should go well

Re: Betting Chat : Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:07 pm  

backed nahrain in the nassau, two very high class efforts at the back end of last year and nothing went right on her reappearance over a shorter trip than ideal at royal ascot.

all should be set for a bold bid today after her ascot prep, cannot believe how much bigger she is in the betting than izzi top.

i'm on at 5s best odds guaranteed, hills refunding the win part of win & ew bets if izzi top wins and your horse is 2nd.
backed her e/w 3 places, seems like a bet to nothing if she's on form.

Re: Betting Chat : Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:32 pm  

well that one obviously isnt right this season despite varian giving positive messages in the rp.

had the best form in the race winning the prix opera and just losing out on the breeders cup race she ran in. deflating to see a horse that should be doing so much better finishing a laboured last.

quiet on here of late.

my iffy run of late hit the buffers today thanks to an ew punt on hunters light and a bit more on certify, who defied missing the break and being very keen to settle and assert very pleasingly. excellent ride by silvestre the cat on hunters light, got first run when ransom note was nackered and was never gonna be pegged back.

dont do as much betting as i did, the onlune betting has had to be put to a stop as im after a mortgage and its seen as a risk!

so just the odd trip to the betting shop now for me for the moment anyway

had 3 from 4 on a lucky 15 yesterday though 3/1, 5/2, 6/1.

ah i never known about that. i checked my last 12 months statements after i seen this and, although i'm in a good profit for gambling ins and outs on each statement. however a mortgage advisor would probably have dizzy spells at the figures.


had a free bet on newfangled which went down but hopefully the horse will be ok.

money of my own on the fugue.

i must of hade about 5/6 pages of statements all due to betting transactions....the bank do not like one bit and would not get a mortgage.. im on the 3 months of bet free statements then i can go talk to them again.

doesnt matter if your showing a profit or not to them.
