Saturday Punt- 5Th Sept...

[Spicerack]

Alright chaps. Sorry I missed you last week. Had a date with a Bunny Girl. Racing was dire anyway.

[Spicerack]

Anyway, your mate P J MacDonald rode a lovely race on Ifraaj? to give me a 33/1 winner, late Tuesday. Next bet, early Wed, had something I've never had before in a lifetime of betting.
Have a guess. I'll buy the nearest a pint if we ever meet.

[Spicerack]

I think the boys snuck off to Kempton without me.
Don't like Ascot at the best of times but I've been following these 3. 3.05 Kipps 7/2
3.40 Gulliver 10/1
4.15 Arbalet 20/1
+ Reshoun 28/1 2.50 Haydock
And The Tin Man 14/1 3.25 Haydock
Think I'll just do a small stakes L31 and watch an old film.
I like 3 of the sprinters at Navan + Walkabout there. Might listen to them. Good Luck.

[Spicerack]

Oh, and a small e/w on Enable. ;-)

[Togo]

Afternoon all done the ITV7 as below with a £1.00Trixie on the *** and a 4 timer with e/w Doubles and trebles on the other 4⁕. I was loath to leave Reshoun and Tabdeed out of my original bet up at Haydock, so I have done a little e/w double on them @ 28/1 & 12/1. Had to do Kipps as well later, I have just about followed it off a cliff this year. Great racing by the way up at Haydock and the sprint race should be a cracker. I can only think that you had a bit of luck with the ladies on Wed Spice. They were banging the winners in and Hollie Doyle was immense at two different meetings.

Al Dabaran* @4/1 2.15H.
Future Investment⁕ @ 8/1 2.50H.
Kipps* @4/1 3.05A.
Art Power⁕ @6/1 3.25H.
Golden Apollo⁕ @8/1 3.40A.
Danzeno⁕ @15/2 4.00H.
Society Lion* @5/1 4.15A.

Afternoon, gents, and good luck to you both. I'll have a guess at you getting a placepot up, Spice?

ITV 7; Arthurian Fable, Rhythmic Intent, Shandoz*, Hello Youmzain*, May Sonic, Came From The Dark* & Queen's Sargent*. £1 e.w. acca.

*Denotes 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. Poss £28 for placed, £3,544 for win. Placed with SkyBet as they are going extra places in all 4 races.

Main bet;

1.55 Asc; Rose Hip @ 6/1
4.35 Hay; Star Of Valour @ 12/1
4.45 Str; Jamacho @ 7/1
5.20 Str; Atlantic Storm @ 9/2

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £40, 4 winners = £,5354.

£1.50 e.w. on Reshoun @ 22/1 - Sky going 5 places.

Note that Hayley is 100% when teaming up with Charlie Felloes at Asc, with 3/3. They team up twice today, Perfect Inch (2.30) and Via Serendipity (4.15). Pondering a small stakes win single and e.w. double on the pair.

[Togo]

There was a 100/1 winner at Uttoxeter as well on Wed. That would have been nice.

[Togo]

Hollie Doyle will have her fans at Haydock as well Ken. Well fancied to be the first lady group 1 winner on Glen Shiel in the mad sprint.

[Ken4155]

Followed by a 40/1 shortly after. Nice double :-)))

[Ken4155]

Horse needs to improve a tad, Togo, but it's not beyond HD to boot this one home, given the season she's having.

[Spicerack]

Togo sort of won. I bet Lough Swilley? and it won at 100/1.
Had at least two 50/1's over the years but not 100/1, never. Lol.

[Ken4155]

Just logged into my 365 account to put a couple of quid on Khaloosy - 7/2 in paper - only to see the restrictive price of 5/4. So, I've done it to reverse places with My Oberon in a S F/c.
Hope you've kept the pin you picked that 100/1 winner with, Spice.

[Ken4155]

Reshoun never got out of reverse gear!!

[Togo]

The ground is carving up at Ascot. Be like a ploughed field at the end of racing today.

[Ken4155]

Idiot on tv just had me checking the price of Hollie's mount in 3.25. He said it is "Fancied by many" so i thought it was being backed. It isn't!

[Togo]

She went very well Ken had no chance with the winner but beat everything else. Rode well again.

[Ken4155]

Agree, Togo. However, having checked the price as I mentioned above, I wasn't tempted as the stats pointed elsewhere. And, as you know, the stats are my main reference point when picking my Saturday losers ;-))
Actually, the stats hold up quite well, as a whole, it's just that I choose the wrong one from the qualifying list. Take the 2.50 at Haydock; having studied the stats, I was left with a choice of 3 horses - Euchen Glen, Reshoun and Rhythmic Intent - and I chose Reshoun as a past winner of the race :-(

[Togo]

Yep Ken and I chose William Buick on Danzeno and he rode a race that was well short of his best. The horse looked like it could run the race again.

[Togo]

Thank gawd that's over...let's just say I have had better days. Time for a glass of Rev James and a look in on the football.

[Togo]

Kane to score first and England 5-0 @45/1 maybe.

[Togo]

Yep done that and Sterling first goal and 5-0 @60/1 Adds a bit more interest.
