What A Cracking Day For A Punt!
Its one of those days today, dear reader, when everywhere I look, I think I fancy one. Strange, as the racing is fiendishly hard today.
I'll start at York with a placepot:
1. Dark Angel / Drawnfromthepast (e/w bet) / Dedo / New Jersey
2. Fleeting Spirit
3. Smart Enough / Flipando / Docofthebay / We'll Come
4. Magnus / Moorhouse Lad / Hoh Mike / Kingsgate Native (maiden 2yo in all age Group 1!!!)
5. Mine (great chance) / Dabbers Ridge / Somnus
6. Winter Sunrise
192 x 20p = £38.40
Elsewhere, and up to Chester for the evening meeting. Some biggish fields mean there may be some draw bias to play with (low numbers very strongly favoured, as you probably know).
In the 6.40, a 2yo maiden, the three most experienced horses (Far Gone, Harry Gee and Madame Rio) are drawn 1, 2 and 3. Given that experience in a 2yo maiden is usually worth a couple of lengths at the gate, I will perm these three in a combination exacta to get away and stay away.
Half an hour later, in the 5f sprint, I like Calypso King. He has only been drawn well once out of three starts here at Chester, and won that race. From the four box today, he has a great draw for his style of racing. I'm hoping he can sit in behind the pace, and if/when the split comes, scoot through in the final two furlongs. 10/1 or bigger will be very alluring...
And then we go to the jumps cards. I'm now pretty well advanced with my research for TrainerTrackStats, the jumping equivalent of TrainerFlatStats, and I don't mind admitting that I'm VERY excited about what I'm seeing.
I've currently got just over 275 possible trainer / track combinations to whittle down, and there are some tasty fish in that catch!
At Fontwell, legends Alan King and Brendan Powell are always worthy of respect. But look out also for Charlie Mann, J W Mullins, Mrs A M Thorpe, and Peter Bowen.
Meanwhile, over at Stratford, Jonjo's In Extra Time looks tempting in the handicap chase.
A punting frenzy then for yours truly. Normally, when I feel like this about the racing, I'm happy to break even at the end of the day.... Your card is marked accordingly! ;)
