Thursday 9th January 2020 + Summary

TODAY’S SELECTIONS

TRIPLER (Only 2 selections – I guess it’s because a meeting has been abandoned due our our wonderful weather.)

15.00 – Newcastle – Pitcher’s Point – 10 runners. Near the top of the betting but not a clear favourite – SPLIT.

16.05 – Newcastle – Clarey Blue – A short sprint & Clarey Blue is head & shoulders in front. WIN.

OBAD

See 16.05 above.

RATCHET

As usual. 10% of Bank with a stop at 2.5% (or as near as dammit.)

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY

In the 1st race, Mick Pastor was a Win selection & duly obliged, This meant I hit my 2.5% target on Tripler, so no further betting on the Tripler. Slightly under my target on Ratchet and normally, I would have stopped. However, as the 2nd race only had 5 runners & Thai Terrier was highly favoured, I rightly or stupidly, went for a 10% Bank Stake on this 2nd race. Only paid out on 2 places & fortunately, Thai Terrier came 2nd. This produced a wonderful result and gave me a profit in excess of 6%. No 3rd bet on Ratchet. Only OBAD left to round off a terrific day.

The OBAD selection – Soldier’s Minute – was odds on favourite in only a 5 runner race. So, guess what? The dimbo came 4th! How on earth can this happen? Strong favourite, 5 runners & it came 4th? It beggars belief.

So, after nice wins on Tripler & Ratchet, we were let down by OBAD. (I even went for a Split bet to minimise my risk but not eve that was good enough for this bozo.)

    Hi Matt. When I logged on yesterday, there were only 2 selections, both at Newcastle. I therefore placed my bets using those selections. An hour later, I logged on again & there were 3 totally different selections. I stuck with the ones I had already used. I think there was a software/website update which was completed mid morning, hence the different selections.
