Nabbed 3 good ones today. And a couple of places. the Miss Cunning I really wish I’d had time to share. But spotted the read up it specifically said it had previous form etc and the weight swung it.
Distinction beaten by 3/4 of a length. But 11.50 will do its profitDistinction in next race at Wolves and for a big priced the 730 Dundalk hot lady (says the stable too good to ignore it).
Probably due to the view bookies are taking that it's a massive jump in class. But like you say 5 horse race especially a chase. It wouldn't take much for one or two to fall so there always a chance.Posting this early 28/1 for a 60% chance to win cash in a 5 horse race? yes please! (It’s 50/1 if you do it outright). Kempton 2:25 tomorrow
You can actually get 4 in 5 chance on betfair it slashes the odds to 16/1 but still pretty amazing (providing it doesn’t come last)Probably due to the view bookies are taking that it's a massive jump in class.

Take a look at Patroclus in the first at Kempton. Very likeable profile. An improver for a top trainer and a very lively 7/2 shot.
Gl with the bet man.
To be honest seems a pretty pointless bet.My main horse bet today. I took 9 places as its smart gives me 9 chances for a return for free.
I got 8.50 back actually. And would have got more had I gone less places. Horse ran 2nd should have had more faith in my nag.To be honest seems a pretty pointless bet.
If the horse comes anywhere between 2nd and 9th you will get not much more than a fiver back. And as you used a fiver free bet it is basically breaking even unless horse wins.
I had my usual Punchestown -loser after loser - so nothing new there.Well punchestown was a washout for me.
Vauban and Epitante should win there today the double pays 5/2 so nothing to write home about.
Shady Operator runs in the first race. 3/1 currently and its interesting Bolger pulled him out of the banks race Thursday to keep him for this. If the forecast had been for rain he would have ran Thursday. So he may be a play today.
In the 2,000 guineas its hard to argue the favourite isn't correctly priced but I wouldn't put anybody off backing O'Briens two.
Luxembourg won all 3 starts last year but may in time find a mile a little sharp. At 5/1 if you can get four places it's a strong each way play.
Point Lonsdale has frankie on board which I always take note of for O'brien and although beaten second on last start as a two year old. Natural progression would see him involved in the finish here also.
Good luck all having a punt.
Would be nice to keep this thread a little lit for Colinsunderland's honour.
