BEST of the BETS

Favourite won as odds on shots should, but disappointed that my one couldn’t even make a race of it.

Bet 12

Politicise (3:30 Bangor)

LSP: +7.50

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

Backed down to 9/4 fav, but that proved to be a false gamble as all through the race he never looked like going close. Very disappointing.

Bet 11

Valadom (2:10 Huntingdon)

LSP: +8.50

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

Well done Joe.

Thanks, mate. I wish I had a more confident bet on it, would have if it had been a handicap, but it just goes to show that official handicappers get things pretty wrong too sometimes.

Bet 10

Curramore (12:45 Carlisle)

LSP: +2.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

Good call, Joe, won by twice that distance. I feel a bit silly backing against it.

Bet 9

Henry The Sixth (7:10 Southwell)

LSP: +3.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

Backed into 7/2, and not beaten far in 3rd, Burtonwood 2nd. Winner was another course winner but drawn 1.

Bet 8

Gleaming Arch (8:05 Newcastle)

LSP: +4.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

No good from my selection. I was right about one thing though, it was hard to guess who will go off favourite, eventual winning favourite was 8/1 at time of posting, well done to Hugh Taylor, that was a really good selection. Out of 3 highlighted by me, Cedar Cage did best to finish 2nd at 25/1 but I didn’t back it as single so no good.

Bet 7

Thebian (4:25 Chelmsford)

LSP: +5.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

Nice placer, Joe.

Great shout, TL.

Well done Brian with Salamanca School.

Of my two, Phoenix Aquilus (14/1) ran well for 3rd, Witch Hunt was disappointing, restless in stalls and ran no sort of race by staying in last place.

Thanks Brian, and good luck.

Bet 6

Witch Hunt (1:55 Nottingham)

LSP: +6.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

Bet 5

Millicent Fawcett (3:30 Southwell)

LSP: +7.00

Wins - 5/1, 4/1

Nice nap.
