Irish Oaks plus the latest 'bot news.....

Today is the Irish Oaks and while the trends aren't that strong for the race there is a horse who looks very interesting to take the favourite on with.

- 8 of the last 10 winners had already won a race earlier in the season
- 7 of the last 10 winners had won over at least 1m 2f
- 6 of the last 10 winners had a top 4 finish in a Group 1 race
and
- 6 of the last 10 winners had won a Group race

-The only 3 favourites to have won in the last decade all started odds-on and had all won the Epsom Oaks
- The last filly to win the Irish Oaks after finishing out of the top 4 at Epsom was Ebadiyla in 1997

As you can see the trends don't look to good for the maiden, favourite Moonstone but Aiden O'Brien has bucked many a trend this season with his Group 1 winners and while I am going to oppose Moonstone I wouldn't be surprised to see her win.

I think the horse to take Moonstone on with is the French Filly Gagnoa. Trained by the French Master Andre Fabre, she ran a fine 2nd behind the wonder filly Zarkava in the Prix de Diane and has a couple of decent Group 3 wins under her belt.The ground should be fine for her and the way she was running on last time suggests the extra furlong and a half should be within her scope.

An interesting outsider is the Rae Guest trained Rosa Grace who has some pretty good place form to her name and battled on nicely last time out in a Listed race at Newbury. Another who should handle the softish ground she could run a big race at a big price.

Selection: Gagnoa
Each Way: Rosa Grace

The latest news on the Laybotpro is that it continues to perform exactly as promised.

I put it through a rigorous test yesterday, changing the parameters and generally making sure all the features worked as they were supposed to. It passed every test and while I didn't go as far as Victor Kiam and buy the company I have now at least bought the product.

There are some Staking Plans built into the 'bot as well which give you the option of recovering losses in future races.
Using a set % of the loss to recover, a set number of races and a set number of cycles to reclaim the losses in, these tightly controlled features will be of obvious use to system users.

I shall be taking a good look at them over the next couple of days.

You can see the Laybotpro here where you can also take it for a 48 hour free trial;

Good luck,
