Betfair Kingpin Is Coming... But Is It Any Good?!
Systems, systems, and more systems, dear reader. It seems we're in the midst of systems silly season.
So it is with that sentiment that I urge you to brace yourself for a surge of email spin appertaining to the latest 'killer' product to hit the market, the Betfair Kingpin.
I've managed to get my hands on a preview copy, (Actually, it wasn't that difficult. I just asked for one!), and I'll be trialling it tomorrow - prior to its official launch on Saturday evening - to see if its any good.
There is some established logic behind the approach, but I am little apprehensive as to how it will perform under test.
So hang fire until I've looked at it before succumbing to the hypnotic sales letter you're about to be redirected to in every other electronic missive you receive for the next few days. You might be glad you did!
Day Five with Favourites Phenomenon, and point five on the gravy train. The system continues to accrue it's daily bread with the minimum of fuss. Though, as a means of breaking the lucrative monotony, I did have to enquire about one of the rules today. The answer was that the horse in question did not qualify, but won anyway!
I had made my unit by the second race today, with a maximum liability of a whopping £10.40...
I'm liking FP, for obvious reasons, and - if you haven't done so already - I encourage to check out the FP webpage here. Send your questions to Matt (Watson, the author) if you don't find the answer there.
No luck today using the draw biases, with Quirina well beaten (expected bias did not materialise as the first three were drawn 5, 6, and 7 of 14, and not higher as hoped for). I should have stuck to 'no bet' here!
Over at Salisbury, I again should have avoided the lady amateur riders' race, but didn't and Vanadium is - to the best of my knowledge - still running.
More unlucky for us (and for me personally, if you'll forgive my public blubbing) was Stamford Blue. Yesterday, I'd opined,
Stamford Blue, who won here during a purple patch last season, and is well drawn for Ron Harris, could go well. He has actually won at the track three times; started his winning run at this time last season (here); and is back to a mark below his top winning handicap rating. Current form means a leap of faith is required, but given a fair few positives, he's worth a small each way tickle.
Well, blow me if he wasn't caught on the line by Sheamus Shindig. Stamford was sent off 14/1, and was drawn 10 of 11. The first three home were drawn 11, 10 and 9 respectively, and the tricast paid £393 for a £1!
Regular readers will know that this is not an isolated incidence of draw bias monopolising the podium positions, and I'll continue to scout the favoured sides for you.
Finally, a quick line on TrainerFlatStats which, after another trough in the feast-famine cycle that perpetuates throughout the season, has enjoyed another banquet today.

Until next time,
