We had a decent Xmas with Kauto Star and Rochdale winning.
“It's a bit depressing when you're going to the 4th last and you hear the jockey outside you saying "whoah" McCoy yesterday – what a great quote!
I'll be cheering on Geeveem today at 25s and Homer Wells at a less edifying 12s – the less said about all the non runners the better...
For the challenge it was a toss up between Kruguyrova or Voy Per Ustedes who both look to have a solid favourite's chances and are priced up similarly this morning. Both look to have only one credible rival. I'm inclined to think Ashley Brook may be more of a threat than Mr Strachan. The clincher though is that the rest of Kruguyrova's opponents look hardly anything, whilst VPU has to take on some decent, if second division types.
I was very impressed with Kruguyrova the other day at Plumpton. She was backed then and is noticeably weak right now. I'll hope she's sneaked under the radar, and that my old theory of getting value on selections that punters can't pronounce, let alone spell, holds good.
£500 Challenge
Kruguyrova £15 win at 4/5
Cheering on Geeveem too Toots..
ReplyDeleteTaking your recent advice and trying some festive placepots on the All Weather.. gathering some good data in contentious races..
:-) ... thanks for the pointer..
ho hum. Krugyrova was an amazing price in the end.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with those placepots Toad.
£100,000 pools at Wolves on a Friday night - must be some mileage.
The southwell placepot paid £1083.00 today. "we finks there is gold in the sand of the all weather tracks if you dig deep enough".
ReplyDeleteYours truly failed by a short short head in the 4th race but such is life playing exotics. Still need to be selective but 2008 will be the year of the placepot on the all weather surface.
