TODAY’S SELECTION
Today, I’m gonna take a bit of a “Flyer.” I have to go out all afternoon so I can’t monitor the racing. I’ve looked at the races and all the odds are really low on our selections as they are the odds on favourites. I decided to miss Ratchet altogether today because the Risk/Reward element is too low. I’m the cautious type & don’t want to lose 10% of my Bank to win a tiny amount. I have however, decided to “pre-back” the first 2 races. The 14.00 at Sedgefield & the 14.20 at Fontwell. I have backed both to WIN.
I didn’t do Race 3 as there are tons of runners & the “Risk/Reward” is too low.
Here’s hoping!!
YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY
13.20 – Uttoxeter – Hazzaar. Favourite but Cook The Books is a strong contender. WIN. Outpaced on the run in . LOST.
14.40 – Doncaster – Lady Buttons. 2nd Favourite. Very close. SPLIT. The horse won & gave me a win on both the Win & Place elements of my bet.
15.35 – Cheltenham – Paisley Park. Highly fancied & good pedigree. WIN. Paisley Park won despite being given a good run by a 7/1 shot.
TRIPLER – Because of the loss on Race 1 and the Split win on Race 2, I did calculations & a Split bet on Race 3 would give me my target if it won. Which it did. Despite the loss on the 1st race, the last 2 races gave me a nice profit, above target.
OBAD – Race 2. My Split bet won.
RATCHET – Because Hazzaar came 4th, I made a small loss despite races 2 & 3 coming in.
The profit from TRIPLER & OBAD exceeded the RATCHET loss so not a bad day at all.
I always think of the lousy interest rate my Bank would give me. I think it is 0.01% A YEAR. Any profit on HRP is good profit & way better than leaving it for the grubby Bankers to use.
