Vill On

Advised bet:

3 Point WIn - VILLON @ 2.56

Last bet of the afternoon. Around 9 points loss on the day so far going into this bet. Will post any evening bets at 6:30pm.

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254792,00.html

A bad result as Villon was just beaten into 2nd. He looked the winner 2 from home but its a loss of 3 points.

Ak is back

4:05 Ayr

Advised bet:

3 Point Win - AKILAK @ 3.9 (Lay stake back at 1.9 in running)

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254770,00.html

Ofarel Dairy traded at odds on and looked like winning but was beaten into 2nd. So no profit no loss on the bet.

Advised bet:

3 Point Win - CLOUDY LANE @ 2.1

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254789,00.html

A good result and a profit of 3.3 points to get Saturday back on track as Cloudy Lane won very easily.

Dirty Den

2:45 Newbury

Advised bet:

5 Point Lay - DENMAN @ 1.23

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,252494,00.html

A loss of 1.15 points as Denman lived up to the hype. I was more than happy to risk a low ammount to find out if he was up to the hype.

Moon Over Milton Keynes

2:25 Warwick

Advised bet:

2 Point Lay - MOON OVER MIAMI @ 3.15

RESULT:

A good result and a 2 point profit as Moon Over Miami was left behind and never looked dangerous.

Ace of Flies - Voy Pur Outstanding

2:05 Lingfield -


Advised bet:

3 Point Lay - ACE OF SPIES @ 2.0 In runnning.

RESULT
:http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254776,00.html

Ace of Spies touched a short of 2.12 in running so we didnt get matched. He went on to be unplaced. No win, no loss.



2:10 Newbury -

Advised bet:

3 Point Win - VOY PUR USTEDES @ 2.4

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254843,00.html

A losing bet as Voy Pur Ustedes was beaten by the 5yo Master Minded in a shock (to me) result resulting in a loss of 3 points.

Oh Gawd

1:55 Warwick

2 Point Win - OWARD @ 3.65 (Lay stake back in running at 2.64)

RESULT:
http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254772,00.html

Oward touched a short of 2.6 in running before being beaten so all lays set up at 2.64 pre race had to have been matched for, so no win and no loss from the race.

Wheres Johnny?

1:35 Newbury

Advised bet:

2 Point Lay - HERES JOHNNY @ 3.15

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254769,00.html

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254772,00.html

A bad result to start the day and a loss of 3 points as Zebra Crossing never touched 1.9 in running.

Friday, 8 February 2008

Mon Petite No more

9:20 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

4 Point Lay - MON PETITE AMOUR @ 1.82

A strange old day that started badly, then became a good day before going downhill again, we are about 3/4 point down going into the final race, so it all hangs on this. If the lay wins its a loss of roughly 4 1/4 points and if it is beaten then its a profit on the day of roughly 3 1/4 point. I really hope it is a profitable end, but if it isnt then I just have to take it on the chin.

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254590,00.html

A bad result to end a rollercoaster day and a loss of 3.6 points. On the negative side thats two losing days in a row and on the positive side after 8 days of February we are in a double figure profit with 20 days of the month left following on from the 103 point month of January.

First Class

8:50 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

2 Point Win - UPPER CLASS @ 6.0 (Lay stake back in running at 4.0, should front run and get matched and will hopefully win)

RESULT:

A really disappointing result as I was expecting this horse to run a big race and am surprised he didnt lead and trade at 4.0 or shorter. He drifted as soon as I posted the bet and never looked like winning and we are in a loss on the day now with one race to go.

Dutched bet

8:20 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

1 & 1/2 pnt Win - MAMBAZO @ 3.75
1/2 pnt WIn - TRISKAIDEKAIPHOBIA @ 13.5

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254588,00.html

It was looking good when Mambazo cruised up into 2nd but he could not close the winner down, and we give 2 points back.

Princess Live It Up

7:50 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

2 Point Place Back - PRINCESS LIVIUS @ 2.14

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254587,00.html

A profit of 2 points on the bet as Princess Livius finished fast and late to win the race.

Mama Clio

7:20 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

2 Point Lay - MAMA LEO @ 3.0 (Lay in running, hopefully will be matched as he can front run).

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254586,00.html

Mama Leo never got involved except for staying on at the end when the race was over so we didnt get close to getting matched. Still I dont lay horses above 3.5 so we could not lay her pre race. Nothing won nothing lost, we needed Mama Leo to be ridden prominently to get matched and she was held up. :)

Dutched bet

6:50 Wolverhampton

Advised bet:

1/2 Point Win - GIFTED HEIR @ 6.2
1/2 Point Win - STILL DREAMING @ 10.0

RESULT: http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254585,00.html

Picked up 2nd and 3rd place but it was 1st place we were looking for. Only a point risked so no real damage done.

Crapidity

4:35 Southwell

Advised bet:

4 Point Lay - RAPIDITY @ 1.46
1 Point Win - TRAITORS GATE @ 14.0 (Lay stake back at 6.0 in running).

RESULT:http://horses.sportinglife.com/Full_Results/0,12493,254727,00.html

A losing bet to end the afternoon with as Rapidity absolutely bolted up and was the days easiest winner. I wont hesitate to lay another horse on its bounce run and fibresand debut that is priced at 1.46 again, so no complaints from me. Traitors Gate traded at 6.2 for a few quid in running so we didnt get our point back from that and lost 2.84 points on the bet.
Still won a small ammount on the afternoon, although its dissapointing as at one point we were in a decent profit but we lost 4.2 points in the first race so have to be happy to finish in front.

Best Lorne

4:05 Southwell

Advised bet:

3 Point Win - WEST LORNE @ 3.4 (Lay entire stake back at 2.4 in running, may even get matched before the race as I expect this to be punted back in but may be wrong).

RESULT:

A loss of 3 points as West Lorne who was backed pre race never got as short as 2.4 in running unfortunately.
