Dave_Og Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 In the apparent absence of a plethora of summer threads about best ever bald players, players called Bob or whatever I thought we'd see if, depsite Harry Bosch's dismal effort at Brighton last week, there was money to be made by backing horses with an obvious relevance to Latics (probably not I suspect.) So on the basis of a tenner to win if the predicted SP in the Racing Post is less than 5/1 and a fiver each was if it is 5/1 or bigger let's see how we get on: Today's bets: Kelly's Finest, 3.15 at Thirsk - £5 each way Atletico, 8.20 at Windsor - £10 Win I expect to see a link here of how Playershare can benefit should anyone open a bookie's account through the webshop.

Wozzer Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Playing the game properly £5 e/w on both scoreline 9:10 pontefract and Vicky Valentine 3:15 Thirsk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Playing the game properly £5 e/w on both scoreline 9:10 pontefract and Vicky Valentine 3:15 Thirsk. Scoreline? Clear Spell? Struggling a bit with the obvious (direct) relevance there and I'm pathologically incapable of backing tww in the same race so Vicky's out as well!

Wozzer Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Think I've explained the clear spell fiasco in my edited post above - if it has to be directly relevant as opposed to the obvious general football relevance I'll replace scoreline with Dark defender in the 2:30 at Ayr - or if the potentially marginally racist allusion to Barrett, Hazell et al is disallowed too Blue Jacket to win in the 4:30 at Ayr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) no links to our players but royal duchess has been backed heavily from majority of punters, me included. Edited June 8, 2015 by 4froale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 14/1 winner for starters I'll probably disallow Dark Defender on the basis that I guess every club in the country has one... Desperately trying to phrase that appropriately and probably failing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Finished nowhere but the 14/1 winner was trained by M Channon and 66/1 2nd by K Dalgliesh.....how's that for football connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy55555 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Castle Talbot 17:30 Lingfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, the original selections didn't fare too well. Both came in third but as nboth were favourites there's not much to be had from that. A small retun on Kelly's Finest as despite the price it was an each way stab so: £20 staked £7 returned Net loss £13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 As a side bet, we could have a book on when the £100 loss will be reached, June, July or Auust...?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 So we have Castle Talbot at Lingfield and Oasis Spirit , 8.15 at Salisbury - £5ew each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Poor racing today but I'll go Todd 7:35 Lingfield So much poor flat racing these days. Was always much more of a jumps fan but the never ending diet of utter dross on the flat (esp AW) has all bu destroed my interest in it.

Dave_Og Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 We're in the money today with Todd & Castle Talbot both placed at 12s So today's stakes - £30 Today's returns - £34 Runing total = -£9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozzer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Westwood hoe in the 3:40 at Haydock tomorrow. There's a horse called Satanic Mills running in the 5:00 at Beverley which must be Oldham (if not Latics) related. It appears to be to racing what Phil Starbuck was to football though - it's no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Beauty's Forte can't really be dodged, 2.30 Beverley I think I can bear to leave SM out on that form so £5 ew on WH and BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozzer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not strictly relevant but just been looking at today's early results on RP app. Usual racing lingo on a daily basis (tracked leaders, made headway, caught and no extra final furlong etc.) For some reason we are advised that the 3rd horse in today's 2:10 at Haydock "wore ear plugs in paddock" - I think they should use stuff like this more often. Smoked cigar in stable maybe, or donned sheepskin rug in horse box on way to track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I had a share in a hurdler a few years ago; she won a couple of races for us and went on to breed a winner; great fun but sadly outside my budget these days. She was virtually inseparable from the trainer’s Jack Russell – he slept in her stable and always went in the van to the races when she ran. Can’t recall why but one day he didn’t go; she fretted all the way to the track and ran a shocker. It would have been useful to punters to have that information!
