naps table Sunday 31st. July

Well am going to bet on Martins selection but he found it first so gentleman's agreement makes me look elsewhere for my nap and there are a couple of animals in the right price range that interest me - one is Harrington's Dreamy Gent in the 4.25 Galway he seems to be an expert from the front in Galway. Has the hall marks of a horse that is ready to win at a big price under a decent jock - will have to front run so the writing will be on the wall as he does lack  finish. He just sneaks into radar at the current 16/1 but with this stable is likely to be much shorter if they agree its ready to win its first over fences
looks like my long shot to me

Check the VFB

Check my Nap in the VFB - I am so confident only VFB members will know it - BIG price

SERIOUS!!!

No kidding, put your last penny on Unknown Rebel 5.10 Chester

Edit: I hope you listened to me!!

Nassau Stakes 3.10

Not much to go on from the ages of winners. 3yo have won 6 of the last 10 but have represented 53% of the total runners.But today there is only one 3 yr old Barefoot lady(was a very very creditable 5th to Blue Bunting) she comprehensibly beat Misty for Me in that contest! and you have to say the 3 yr old's are showing really good form this year and could well be ahead of their older rivals and has an eight Pounds pull in the weights 
All 4 winners aged 4+ were multiple group 1 winners.

Recent Form
9 of 10 winners had won 1 of last 2 starts (exception placed in Eng/Ir Oaks on last 2 starts)
7 of 10 winners finished in first 3 last time (3 exceptions unplaced in a group 1)
8 of 10 winners had run 2 to 5 times that season
9 of 10 winners had won a group race over 1M to 1M 2F (exception placed in English & Irish Oaks on last 2 starts)
7 of 10 winners had won a group 1 (1 exception had finished 2nd in a group 1 and other two were group 2 or 3 winners)
  Am taking a chance on the 3 yr old based  Barefoot Lady on its defeat of Misty For Me who went on to win the irish 1000 gns she looks Taylor maid (sic) for this 1m2f was a very useful juvenile but stepped up on that form when winning the Nell Gwyn over 7f  Up again in trip and grade she ran well, chasing the leadersthroughout and, despite being pushed along some way out, kept on when others cried enough.In touch, ridden and unable to quicken 3f out, outpaced over 2f out, rallied under pressure and edging right over 1f out, no chance but stayed on steadily final furlong (tchd 14-1) She Ran a cracker in the Musidora and has the form for a big upset at a big prices against animals that are more suited by 1m4f Misty for Me would have been the favourite for this race to make me feel even more confident 

 good luck today guys

Horses drawn 20 or higher: 1-8-87
7 of 10 winners (last 6) were drawn 10 to 19
The only horse to win this from stall 20 or higher was Pivotal Point, who won a group 3 and a group 2 in his next 3 races.
No very strong trends on prices as while 7 of 10 winners came from first 5 in the betting, the last 3 winners were priced 40/1, 14/1 & 20/1.
Favourites (2-5-15) have won 2 of the last 10 giving a level stakes loss of 0.36 over the past 10 years.

 Well its a nightmare of a race and as thrilling as you will get for your money - I have a fancy that Kanaf is the great each way shout out of stall 20 has a 6lbs excess to carry today under Chris Catlin for Dunlop -  His run at Ascot  in a class 3 6flngs sprint was electric The stands´ rail did not look particularly advantageous, yet all 15 runners congregated towards the near side of the track, before fanning out towards the middle late on. This looked a good, quite competitive sprint handicap, but KANAF was much the best and  evidently ahead of his mark.  He was a major eyecatcher under a tender ride when well behind on his comeback at Goodwood over an inadequate 5flngs, and again wasn´t given a particularly hard time when going a lot closer at Yarmouth , but he stepped up on those efforts to confirm the promise of his 3-y-o campaign. The return to this  course over the 6flngs out of a decent draw and the excellent form of Dunlop yard and surface probably can give the more fancied runners a fright and the current 25s is being steadily taken.


 Love to hear what you think

Friday 29 July 2011

wipe out day yesterday at Goodwood Friday hopefuls!

 Was full of confidence yesterday  all to no avail as it turned out and fingers burnt big time for me
Its not just me either the track has some Peculiarities  that's for sure but form is almost ignored this year and winners have been hard to find for me and looking at the results most other punters as well. 
 Decent races today so am hoping for better things but drawing my horns in never the less.
in the opener I like the chances of Jukebox Jury a lot its a smashing horse that will give its running likes the track has the speed and likes the track going and distance drawn 1 is a disadvantage but he scorched home last time and that has to have him right for this.
2.35 has some difficult types to weigh up over this mile will take my chances with Questioning who has pace and  dropping back in distance  is favoured over a quite motley crew 
3.10 and a decent race - have been told to watch the betting on Dettori mount Man Of Action currently 40/1  its a nutter that has already been gelded since joining the yard but reports are its calmed down and stopped trying to mount all and sundry gets excited in the Visor but they are using it for the second time (as much to stop it tuning its head for a snack out of other runners) have looked at the stats for the race and found that  its draw is all wrong in 20 ( 9 of 10 winners were drawn in the bottom 6 stalls) 9 of 10 winners came from the first 5 in the betting
Only one winner has gone off bigger than 12/1 in past 10 years. against those odds it seems forlorn but have taken some place odds on betfair and hoping to trade out if the money comes because of one more nugget - Saeed Bin Suroor’s (1-1-2) two runners in past 10 years have finished 1st and 2nd.
here are the stats - Based on trends from the past 10 years you are looking for a horse:
·         Aged 3 to 5
·         Carrying a penalty    Green Destiny -  Namecheck
·         Officially rated 100 or higher  Green Destiny Riggins Cai Shen The Rectifier Dance and Dance
·         Finished in first 5 in a class 3 or higher in the last 30 days
·         Won over 1M or 1M 1F
·         Run in 12 or fewer handicaps
·         Won or placed in a race worth 18K+
·         Won a class 2 or higher
·         Contested a listed or group race
·         Trained by Roger Charlton or Saeed Bin Suroor
·         Drawn 1 to 6
·         Tends to race prominently
·         From first 5 in the betting
 To Be Honest this is too hot to go anywhere but down - the Prob fav Green Destiny has all the stats bar one  Favourites (2-3-10) have won 2 of the last 10 giving a level stakes loss of 1.00 over the past 10 years.-  so its an each way bet for me with Namecheck and the aforementioned Man of Destiny 

3.45 another nightmare to sort out because of tjhe ground though Hannon Yard insist the huge Harbour Watch will handle the g/frm ground he says "He is one of the best that we have got" (and they have won the last three of this race) if hes right then its a done deal 
but finding one to follow him home leads me to Milshakes ride on Saigon - a half-brother to multiple sprint winner Tabaret, had beaten an odds-on shot on his debut on fast ground. He raced on the outside of his field here and came through with the runner-up, then managed to overcome interference from that rival to edge ahead near the finish. He still looked inexperienced and may have more to offer. 
    Good luck Guys
have a great days punting

My four bets today

 14:152:15 Goodwood50 WinChain Lightning 8.5Bet 365
"by far the best horse in the race for me - ran well in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, this longer trip is what he wants. He did well to chase home Oceanway at Sandown last time, and the handicapper reckoned it was a career best as he put him up 4lb to 95. He is well drawn in four and should be right there at the finish."
 14:452:45 Goodwood50 WinAmour Propre 6.5Bet 365
"ran a blinder after layoff last time making his belated seasonal bow with plenty to prove, and he turned in a blinder. He quickened to throw down a strong challenge and was only just denied. It�s hoped he can build on this. This is the candy yard best chance of collecting today"
 15:153:15 Goodwood50 Win NAPChiberta King 13Bet 365
"this horse has been a revelation this year this grade and trip Looking for a horse who has won over the distance aged 6 or 7 who has had a decent run in the Ascot Gold Cup or Sandown last run. Previous winners at Goodwood are a plus. and this one fits the bill to tee"
 16:504:50 Galway50 Win NBDirar 8.5Coral
" Bahrain Storm:Is a non runner the conditions in Ireland make an automatic rise 4lb There fore with the automatic weight rise to horses in the handicap proper Have adjusted the Vfb to reflect the changed weights Dirar for Gordon Elliot looks the one to be on for this as its been his long range target since last year - good dual purpose horse who ran his heart out and used up all his energy against Overturn last year having lost his place early he had too much to do - Will Win today for my money "


 Good luck ALLllllllllll

Have adjusted the Vfb to reflect the changed weights Dirar for Gordon Elliot looks the one to be on for this as its been his long range target since last year - good dual purpose horse who ran his heart out and used up all his energy against Overturn last year having lost his place early he had too much to do - Will Win today for my money 

2miles Goodwood 3.15 Thursday 28th July

The ground is forecast to remain good for this marathon 2nd in prize money only to the Galway Grade 1 hurdle 

Looking for a horse who has won over the distance aged 6 or 7 who has had a decent run in the Ascot Gold Cup or Sandown last run. Previous winners at Goodwood are a plus.
 Favourites have a good strike rate and they have come from the Ascot Gold Cup winners and Opinion Poll chased home fame and Fortune into second this year.
 5 favourites have won in the last five years coming from this form analysis and the current 6.4 betfair is very tempting and will get my pennies –
Chiberta King is in the form of its life and having won round here and the 2miles at Sandown last makes it a contender for me at the current odd of 14/1  and would not put you off a punt on either Aaim to Prosper or Electrolyser on the same form lines

 good luck today - Goodwood is a nightmare too many good animals funny old track and punting mad prices
