** 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 coming along nicely 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”: Maureen O’Sullivan. 17.30. Downpatrick. Biko.
Maureen, the star of stage and screen, alongside her best pal, Johnny Weissmuller, is set to grab the headlines today. Maureen has ditched the usual silks and riding kex for a more streamlined look of well-oiled loin cloth. Because of her popularity, Maureen often uses the pseudonym Jane, when out and about with Johnny. (For some reason, Johnny walks around shouting “Me Tarzan, you Jane” whilst out shopping at their local Aldi store in Batley.) Maureen likes to use the whip a lot, but not on the horse. Come on Mo, you always go all the way.
TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS
TRIPLER
14.15 – Sandown – Atalis Bay. (76) – Great track record and has started this season really well. The odds are quite high though, bearing in mind it’s the favourite. The Place Odds are very good. So, it’s a SPLIT.
14.30 – Bath – Clarendon House. (87) – I simply can’t find anything that stops me from thinking this will be a winner. WIN.
20.30 – Worcester – Seinesational. (72) – A very proficient runner on the flat who hasn’t lived up to the promise he was expected to over fences. Decent Place odds, so another SPLIT.
OBAD
14.30 – Bath – Clarendon House. (87) – 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.)
14.15 – Sandown – Atalis Bay. (1.52 – 9 – 3)
17.30 – Downpatrick – Biko.
21.00 – Worcester – Exitas. (1.41 – 13 – 3)
YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY
TODAY’S “JOCKEY OF THE DAY”: Ronald MacDonald. 16.00. York. Duke Of Hazzard.
Summary – Ron was bobbins. I think he was still hungover from the celebrations as per the above photo. Third out of 4 runners means I may switch next time to a Burger King.
A below-average day today. Big Ron MacDon let us down badly in Race 1, but fortunately, the 2nd race was a nice winner. The least said about our 3rd choice the better, suffice to say I really hope the horse was OK and wasn’t injured. The jockey can look after himself; the horse just does what he is told. OBAD was a nice winner but we lost out on Ratchet with Ron’s poor show and the faller in Race 3.
Doc’s Fav Goldmine only needed the first selection to win, which it did. I managed to get odds matched at 1.42, so after commission, I got a day’s profit of 4.12%. Well above my target of 2.5% so I stopped betting for the day. The Race 2 selection was withdrawn and Race 3 was another winner. (No need, thank goodness, to use my Back-Up list. They were useless!)
TRIPLER
16.00 – York – Duke Of Hazzard. (69) – WIN. RESULT – 3rd.
18.15 – Aintree – Koi Dodville. ( 94) – WIN. RESULT – 1st.
