Big 'Pot Hunting & E/W Winning Tips Selections
Big Festival meetings are always the places where I like to try to grab a slice of the tasty placepot pie.
For some reason, I've always been better at finding placed horses than winners, and so I usually get close (if often, with no cigar).
[Incidentally, I was told the other day the etymology of 'Close But No Cigar'. Apparently it comes from the US fairgrounds of the 1920's and 30's when prizes for the skill games included nice Havana's. If you were unlucky, you'd be 'close but no cigar', so there you have it.]
I'm taking a fair few chances today, as I think the insoluble handicaps are wide open. With a big dollop of luck, this 'pot will be worth having, and I'll have a slab of it...
2.15 Full House / Great As Gold / Kayf Aramis / Secret Ploy / Noble Minstrel / Commemoration Day (I've gone down on the 1st leg with more selections than this!!)
2.50 Ellmau / Rio De Le Plata
3.30 Ramonti (best bet for me today)
4.05 Mariotto / Eradicate / Celestial Halo / Rosbay (cracking e/w wager) / Man Of Vision
4.40 Baltic Belle / Fongs Gazelle / Rhuepunzel (if I'm still going before this leg, I may wish I hadn't been so ballsy...)
5.10 Kashoof (IF - bigger 'if' this time - I'm still going before this leg, I'll lay her for a place to guarantee a return)
180 x 20p = £36
The E/W Winning Tips Selection today is Asiatic Boy in the 3.30 Goodwood (7/2 Totesport) You can use Betfair win(4.8)/place(1.65) markets, according to Paul.
Personally, like everyone else, I think Asiatic Boy could be a superstar, BUT he could flop on turf, and be much better suited by the Breeders Cup Classic on dirt, where I'd love to see him run irrespective of what happens today.
You can see the history of these selections at:

It's the number one service on the Backing side.

By the way, did I mention I'm running a Fantasy Football League this season... ;)
