BEST of the BETS

Thanks everyone. Sorry I wasn’t able to update my total, my final selection Bob Ford won @ 11/4, so my LSP for month was +2.25 but yes I agree it was a tough month.

Hi all. Hope everyone is well and backing winners. Sorry for my sudden disappearance, long story but my broadband got disconnected without warning after my contract expired. It took a bit of time to switch service provider and also had some family things to deal with. Will pick this up from tomorrow, hopefully without any more interruptions.

Thanks everyone. Had the race sewn up from a long way out, starting the thread with a winner is hopefully a good omen.

LSP: +3.03 (win), +1.19 (place), after 5% commission

Sorry to see this, Hippo. You are one of the best if not the best posters on here with your selections and also your opinions in general, no one will ever forget that Saturday six-timer (although I wasn’t lucky enough to follow you that day). This is an open forum though, and everyone is entitled to their opinion however stupid it may seem to you.

On Cyrname, you have been quite clear in past that you don’t believe that he is worthy of such a high rating, and I respect your reasons for believing that but in a post on here last season I gave detailed reasons why I believed Cyrname’s rating wasn’t far off his true ability. It’s all about opinions and how we look at things differently, it’s not always about someone being right or wrong. Credit to Altior’s connections for trying a new trip, but watching the race yesterday I felt that Cyrname would have won even if race had been over shorter distance, but again that’s just my opinion, you may disagree with me. Steeplechasers are generally at their peak at ages 7-8, so its fair to say Altior may be past his best as you have also hinted he could be close to retiring. Had both horses been at same stage of their careers, who would have won we won’t find out, but it would have been a great race. They are both very good horses.

Well done.

Well done.

I don’t believe it was a case of just Altior not staying the trip. Cyrname seemed to be travelling that bit better throughout the race, and it didn’t look like Altior will be able to go past him.

Thanks Mugz.

Bet 20

Sheshoon Sonny (1:30 Ascot)

LSP: +1.50

Wins - 5/1, 4/1, 13/2, 1/1

Yes, yours gave it a good go from front.

3rd at 8/1 with main danger winning, so no damage done.

Bet 19

Ready And Able (1:35 Market Rasen)

LSP: +2.50

Wins - 5/1, 4/1, 13/2, 1/1

Guroor won, Abanica 2nd (7/1), so more or less break even on the multiple bet. With exception of Tinkerbells, happy with how all other selections ran.

Thanks Doubler, started well with Kiltealy Briggs winning very easily at a generous price of evens. But 4:55 race turned out to be a bad one with both selections unplaced.

Boy was I getting ready to kick myself for not backing Sebs Star as he almost stole it from the front, trading 1.13 in running.
