Cracking shout, Danny. Good to see you compensated for keeping the faith.Originally Posted by Danny
I haven't really got time for write ups this morning and tbh In the end despite giving it a good go I haven't come up with any proper bets. The first 2 that took my fancy yesterday were Shelir in the big sprint and in the 3.50 at York Victory angel I did have an e/w double on the pair even though I wasn't 100% convinced on either I thought both would have solid place claims. Unfortunately their respective prices collapsed before I got anything proper on them. Another one I was quite keen on in the 4.25 york was Taabhy but his price went south as well. I gave up on the big sprint although I get the feeling that low draws will come to the fore today and my attack for the race will probably just be picking the best of the low drawn animals and trying a combi t/c or trifecta. I did spend a fair bit of time on the 3.50 and aside from Victory Angel I thought Barrington was worth a second look and in that 4.25 despite Fahey more or less saying that Lucky Lucky man is gone at the game I can't help but think he's just starting to look well handicapped and Fahey decides to put a claimer on him. The only one I will probably have a solid bet on is in the 4.00 Newmarket. I put Data Protection up on the long shot thread the other week at Epsom and said that I certainly thought he'd got a win in him at this trip. I think everything I said then still stands. He did manage to snaffle the place money for me that day in 4th so he owes me nothing but I was a little disappointed with him that day. I think he likes his own way in front and there was a lot of hustle and bustle. Today might be easier for him to dictate things or at the very least a bit less rough and tumble. He's also had a wind op in between so as long as he's fully recovered from that he's worth a shot. Thrave looked quite an interesting outsider in the same race but a bit too chancey for my tastes. Of others, I watched Ulshaw bridge run a decent race at York last week dropped back down to 7f for the first time in a while and with a first time tongue tie I was surprised he was as big as 9/1 ish but I get the feeling he'll find this a bit sharp and probably be staying on for place money at best. In the 3.15 at York I thought Irv was a fair price at 12's after winning this last year but did have his 3yo allowance is another to have had a wind op and could be more to come but again I felt like I'd be just playing for places and even on bare form Easterby's Just hiss 25/1 is 19lb better off for just 4 lengths with Irv in this race last year which sort of shows the task Irv faces as a 4yo and although that makes just hiss sound appealing his two runs this season have been awful.
Sorry nothing more concrete I'm struggling to find bets since I've come back I have a lot to catch up on. I thought I'd flag a few horses of interest and if anyone fancies taking a closer look and can get anything out of them then great. I'm just putting a few of them into some multiples for a bit of interest.
Best of luck.
I see it's entered in a race at Goodwood on Tuesday which myself and Outsider have commented on in the long shot thread.
Won
