** Club 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 the race Live, or watch it on 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. The automated HRP spreadsheet determines your next stake, based on the result of the previous race and is geared at helping you hit your daily target.
My new system, Doc’s Fav Goldmine, is coming along nicely and I have had many winners on the spin. My small stakes have increased in size, due to a constant supply of winning selections 🙂 My DFG Bank is now really building nicely. However, as the stake is 10% of the Betting Bank, any losses do hit hard but I have always caught up rapidly before moving ahead again.
I ALWAYS 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.
2.5% A DAY??? Currently, the BEST Bank savings interest rate on offer is 2.02% A YEAR!!!
As a non-horse racing expert, it still amazes me that in a race with only 4, 5, or 6 runners where there is a massive favourite, you can still occasionally pick up superb Place Odds in excess of those required to hit your target. To my horse racing thicko’s mind, this is what I call a NO BRAINER.
I am trying out a NEW FEATURE – The “DFG ONE BET A DAY – OBAD” This is for those people who don’t have time to wait for several races and where I select ONE RACE A DAY which I think is the best bet for a good return. So far, things are going exceptionally well. 🙂
As Albert Einstein allegedly said: “Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder Of The World.”
** NB. A SPLIT bet is normally divided into 25% for the WIN and 75% for the PLACE. (ie. 1/3.) If I mention a 2/2 split, it means 50% for the WIN and 50% for the PLACE. (ie. 2/2.) **
I will also be adding the current prices available for Tripler & OBAD.
For those who may be a little more cautious when using Doc’s Fav Goldmine, you may want to follow Dave & Gav’s C20 staking plan:
- Divide your Total Betting Fund into 4 equal segments. (25% per segment.)
- One segment – (25%) is used as your Frontline Betting Bank with either 10% or 20% as your stake. (Your choice.) 75% is held in reserve in case of a major loss.
- Any winnings are added to your Total Betting Bank and then the whole process of splitting into 4 segments starts again for the new day.
- You will need to use Gav’s Spreadsheet in order to calculate the stakes for bets. (If not a VIP member, you may want to stick with 10% of your Betting Bank as your stake, then follow rules 1 – 3 above.)
TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS
TRIPLER
There’s not much to go at today. As a non-horsey person, I don’t know if it’s the usual thing, but Tuesdays always seem to be the poorest day of the week for racing. Having said that, let’s have a pop. 🙂
14.10 – Beverley – Lady Hollywood. (49) – Some pretty average racing today & this one is no exception. Nothing outstanding, so it’s a SPLIT. (3.15 & 1.43)
14.30 – Bath – Polly Pott. (44) – Only three runners, so win or bust. (2.20)
14.50 – Dundalk – Brushwork. (39) – Why do Irish races have such massive fields? I’m going for a 4 TBP SPLIT. (3.80 & 1.40)
OBAD
14.10 – Beverley – Lady Hollywood. (49) – Some pretty average racing today & this one is no exception. Nothing outstanding, so it’s a SPLIT. (3.15 & 1.43)
RATCHET
Same selections as Tripler but in the PLACE MARKET. Instructions for use: http://bit.ly/35tpfR3
DOC’S FAV GOLDMINE
- All selections are in the PLACE market.
- Stop at a profit of 2.5% per day. (Or as near as.)
- Use 10% of your Bank as a stake.27
- If a loss occurs, keep to the last stake and not 10% of the new, reduced Bank.

I am showing the early Place Odds in brackets together with 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.
From now on, I will now show the odds for the EXTRA PLACE (and occasionally, 2 TBP) if the prices have merit. This is for those who want a little extra security and are prepared to accept lower odds for the Extra Place, and better odds if it’s well fancied on the 2 TBP market.

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY
A proper mix today. Race 1 on Tripler finished in 2nd place as I suggested. Badly let down in Race 2 and a 1st place Split win in Race 3, OBAD lost but all three won for us on Ratchet.
Two dreadful results cocked us up on Doc’s Fav Goldmine, but we did get 3 other winners at very good odds. Hopefully, you got close to your target on race 1 & stopped.
DFG OBAD was a winner.
TRIPLER
13.30 – Newton Abbot – Fortunate Fred. (64) – There are three at the top in this 9 runner race. I’m not over confident about a win, so it’s a SPLIT for me. (3.20 & 1.38) RESULT – 2nd.
16.15 – Newton Abbot – Come On Du Berlais. (77) – Not the strongest of races and ours, driven by that legend of comedy, Jim Bowen, is by miles the most likely to triumph. WIN. (1.90) RESULT – 2nd.
17.35 – Windsor – Eminency. (57) – 14 runners in this helter-skelter 6-furlong sprint. “Anything can happen in the next half hour.” SPLIT. (2.92 & 1.39) RESULT – 1st.
