Racing Sat. 31/10

[Spicerack]

You boys will have to get up earlier at this time of year. Unless we stick to the all-weather. ;-)

[Spicerack]

I see Tom Queally is riding in a novice hurdle at Ascot -2.32.
Fair play to him. Must be like owning the factory, then returning to sweep the floor.
Was going to do Saint Leo at Ayr, 2:52. I think the owners own the course. ( probably wrong). But it seems to have been the subject of a gamble, probably won't bother now.
That leaves Flammarion in the bumper, Ayr 4:02.
Just like the trainer, O'Meara. Must be a rare 'jump' runner for him. (I'm guessing)

Gerrcha....Up at the crack of dawn here Spice. Just keeping my powder dry to see whether there are any non runners or meetings off due to bad weather or for panned emic reasons. Plus been busy sorting out a stable of N.H. horses for the coming months. Already earmarked Envoi Allen for Cheltenham and Easyland for the National. Bit of a potpourri of racing today ... Spice. Get back when I have put my dosh down.

[Ken4155]

Already had a winner, Spice. Urban Violet in the opener at HQ. Can't beat experience and Buick is the only pilot who can boast a 20% success rate on his Newmarket rides. Never looked like losing :-)

2.45 W; Lisnagar Oscar @ 9/2
3.05 A; Dear Sire @ 10/1
3.20 W; Ballyoptic @ 8/1
3.40 A; Valtor @ 11/2

20p Lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £31, 4 winners = £4,740.

Will decide later whether this is my main bet (and therefore warranting 4 x £5 wins). Not looked at all the cards just yet.

ITV 7; The 4 above plus; Amoola Gold, Verdana Blue and The Storyteller (£2 win). Take out Verdana Blue and i've done a £1 e.w. acca.

Best of luck, chaps :-)

[Togo]

Well we either both win or both lose Ken. Our ITV7 is almost identikit, but I haven't sorted out a punt yet. Done the 6 timer(and the 5s) just like you did and left out the odds on which was turned over pretty smartly distance last time out.

[Togo]

Sorted...ITV7 as listed Trixie⁕⁕⁕and a Yank with Doubles and Trebles****
First up. He's No Trouble* @7/1 1.35 Weth.
Then the ITV7. Good Luck.

Capeland⁕ @ 7/2 1.55Asc.
Verdana Blue 2.10 Weth.
The Storyteller⁕ @5/1 2.25 Down Royal
Next Destination* @6/1 2.45Weth
Scaramanga⁕ @9/2 3.05 Asc.
Ballyoptic* @17/2 3.20Weth
Valtor* @3.40Asc.

[Ken4155]

The 4 x £5 win singles are on the above bet. Only other 3 i really fancy today are, Chocolat Noir (8/1), King's Knight (4/1) and Callum Gilhooley (6/1). Patent and e.w. Treble for a poss £483.

I see Mr Buick won the second race, too. He could have 3 or 4 today?

[Togo]

Ah well said the soul. That was my very own Halloween nightmare. Hopeless.

[Ken4155]

Not all that much better at this end, Togo. Just the 2 win singles and a little double up in a trixie. Oh, plus a 2-1 correct score result in my usual Sat Patent with £2 wins attached - Newport 2-1 @ 8/1 for £22.50 return. Still doesn't cover all today's bets so i/m hoping for a winner or 3 on tonight's a.w. Wolverhampton meeting.

[weecalf]

Need Zeshov 6 30 Wolverhampton for a nice wee bet .Punters amongst is 8/5 Trump tempting ?

[Togo]

Done him at 15/8 to win outright Weecalf. The book is lying on this election. Biden odds on but the stats say that almost 65% of the bets are for Trump to win.

[Togo]

Good luck with Zeshov by the way. We will all be rootin for you on here.

[weecalf]

Ta had Miss mill streak at 10/1 and Calivigny at 10/3 so done okay so far .

[Togo]

Ooh that was hard cheese Weecalf. Hope you were on E/W.

[Togo]

I thought it had run 3rd Weecalf ignore the E/W comment and pass me another nip of Shiraz.

[weecalf]

Never mind cleared my bets and had QPR 3-2 so happy enough .

[Togo]

That is good Weecalf. As long as you had a bit of enjoyment with it.
