Good Morning, Friend
You can read today's musings on my blog HERE >>>
In today's post there are x3 tips from myself at 9/1, 11/1 and 15/2. And x3 from resident pro-punter for the season, Adam Norman... at 9s, 14s, 5s.
All come with write ups to muse over and a quick note on 'betting banks'. There are a few 'stats qualifiers' also, which continue to highlight winners.
I can't say I woke up in a great mood this morning! Anyone who bothered reading yesterday's write ups will know why. My word.
When you home in on a shortlist in Race 1 of The Hollow Ginge/Lord Accord, and Race 2 of Rapid Flight/Sounds Russian... and you don't come away with any official profit for the 'tips', there's only one thing for it - a beer, glass of wine, something stronger, or all three!
Still, I'll cling to the positives, the write ups were decent, i know some backed them all on that basis, and I wasn't that far away. But the final decision making left a fair bit to be desired. That could have been a +24 point day with my staking plan, instead a -5. Fine, fine margins in this game.
However, I'm saying that with hindsight of course - The Hollow Ginge jumped as if he'd never seen a fence in his life, scrappy at nearly all of them. I'm not sure if the new white skirting put him off, or a problem with his back or something will come to light. Odd. 'Total times' can mean sod all, but when he was second last year, he ran it in a time around 70 lengths quicker than Lord Accord, on what was apparently similar ground. In any case, he didn't run his race, Lord Accord did, for all, famous last words, I think that's as far as he would want to go on a stiff track. Rapid Flight over jumped the first, jockey out the side door. I wish they'd have both jumped to their best and then I could see if I was just wrong, full stop.
Hopefully you may have had a better day! Although I do know of one respected podcast who do some 'tipping', who were a combined 0/16 on the day - who said this game was easy?!
Hopefully you may have found a winner or two somewhere!

It's one of those days, either a find end to the weekend incoming, or the drinks cabinet will need re-stocking...
