77 Years Ago Today

Nothing but awe, admiration, and inspiration for all the brave men and women who gave everything they had – and more – 77 years ago today.

Without them, we wouldn’t be here today doing what we love. Hats off to every single one of them.

** House Notes** Be careful if races start close to each other. You may not get the results of the race you placed a bet on before the next race starts, so do try to either watch a Live Feed of the race or “watch” the race in real-time at Betfair. **

For Tripler, OBAD, and Ratchet, I use the 3 selections generated by the HRP software, assess each one, and then say what I am going to do. Obviously, you can make your own decisions as to what you think the outcomes will be. Sometimes, the result of a previous race will dictate whether I stick with my predictions or not.

My new system, Doc’s Fav Goldmine, is showing plenty of promise and I have had several winners on the spin. My small stakes are increasing in size, due to a constant supply of winning selections 🙂 My DFG Bank is now really building nicely. As it’s 10% of the Betting Bank, any losses do hit hard but have always caught up rapidly before moving ahead again.

I stop betting if I hit my target of 2.5% (or as near as dammit.) Use your common sense – if you get close to your personal target, it’s your decision as to whether you want to carry on & go for it. Personally, I learned the harsh lesson of being greedy, and many times, when just under my target, I have “Gone for it,” only to lose the lot chasing bigger profits.

It’s your call as to whether you take the early odds, hoping they will then go down, or wait until nearer the off hoping the odds have increased. The key thing to remember is a winner (or winners) at odds totaling 1.25 or above will hit your Daily Target. A profit of 2.5% per day will double your Bank in a month.

STAY SAFE FELLAS.

TODAY’S “JOCKEY OF THE DAY”: Silvestre De Sous Chef. 16.40. Goodwood. Tiger Beetle.

TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS

TRIPLER

14.00 – Perth – Will Carver. (104) – Massive HRP score and ran really well last time out. Quite a trek from his home stables so hopefully, the trip doesn’t affect him, WIN.

15.45 – Perth – Beyond The Clouds. (72) – Only 5 runners and ours had an excellent run last time out, scoring well. I’m going for my second WIN.

16.40 – Goodwood – Tiger Beetle. (72) – This one is a bit harder to call. Ours looks to have all the credentials but may be edged out for the tape. SPLIT.

OBAD

14.00 – Perth – Will Carver. (104) – See Above.

RATCHET – Instructions for use: http://bit.ly/35tpfR

DOC’S FAV GOLDMINE – All selections are in the PLACE market unless otherwise stated. Stop at a profit of 2.5% per day. (Or as near as.) Use 10% of your Bank as stake. If a loss happens, keep to the last stake and not 10% of the new, reduced Bank.

I am also showing the early Place Odds in brackets and the number of runners and the number of horses to be placed. It’s your decision as to whether or not you take the early odds or wait, hoping they will increase. The key thing to remember is a winner/winners at odds totaling 1.25 or above will hit your Daily Target. A profit of 2.5% per day will double your Bank every month.

Please be prepared to change your line of thinking – “on the hoof” so to speak – if the odds move dramatically. They may drift, thus making the selection a “No Bet”, or the odds may steam in, making it not worth taking the risk.

If you want to, you can omit any bets with odds below 1.25 (or thereabouts) and just concentrate on the bets over those odds. This reduces the number of bets but means if you get a winner, you have hit your target and can stop betting for the day, not having to risk any more money on another race. (It also means, however, if you get a loser, there will be fewer races left to recoup any losses.)

14.25 – Kilbeggan – The Getaway Star. (1.20 – 9 – 3)

15.20 – Listowel – Emporio. (1.13 – 12 – 3)

15.30 – Goodwood – East Asia. (1.36 -8 -3)

15.45 – Perth – Beyond The Clouds. (1.29 – 5 – 2)

16.40 – Goodwood – Tiger Beetle. (1.18 – 8 – 3)

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY

TODAY’S “JOCKEY OF THE DAY”: Phil Mitchell. 13.55. Doncaster. Gorgeous Star.

Big Phil, the soft-spoken Hardman of East Nation Street’s Enders really came good for us today. Phil’s horse whispering technique proved mighty effective as he romped to the chequered flag in first place. Top man Phil. Have a lager.

I predicted 2 wins and a split on Tripler and hit the nail on the head. It, therefore, meant wins on OBAD and Ratchet.

Doc’s Fav Goldmine almost put me in the cardiac unit. After the Race 1 win, I was just under my target. I was proud of myself for being disciplined, but I stupidly went for the next selection because of the recent run of wins. Sod’s law – it came 4th! That put me in a negative for the day, so I had to bite the bullet and carry on. I forgot Race 3 followed almost straight away, so I never placed a bet on it. Good job as it fell! (I hope the horse was OK.)  FORTUNATELY, they both came in. I ended up at 1.73% on the day. If I had stopped after Race 1, it would have been 2.35%. I WILL NOT do this again. But a profit is a profit at the end of the day.
