Saturday 11th April
2009 Challenge Fund (£13180 - £240 in play accounted)
Current stake - £120
Thank god for Morecambe yesterday.
I'm off out today so just time to try out a new idea for the big flat handicaps and do the football draws.
Middlesbrough/Hull draw £45 to return £150
Stoke/Newcastle draw £45 to return £145
Villa/Everton (tomorrow) draw £45 to return £145
£15 treble returning £550
Kempton 2:05 Dutch Cordell/Checklow £60 to return £300
Kempton 3:45 Dutch Flowing Cape/Pravda Street £60 to return £240
4 x £10 doubles.
And the scoop 6, and silly acc. Totalling £40.
Barking Bets (Banked £1375/Current fund £2045 – 1 bet in play unaccounted)
This fund and rugby. No more! There's something about these TV ties as well that I need to investigate. Meanwhile the fund is licking its wounds.

ReplyDeleteThink Tiger's going to fall just short.
Kempton 14:05
ReplyDeleteShortlist: Extraterrestrial, Saltagioo, Cape Hawk
With a 3-0 record on the All Weather and a wide draw, winning is not impossible but highly improbable for Extraterrestrial. Saltagioo is on an upward curve and course and distance specialist Cape Hawk is always one to back first time out after a break.
Dutch: Saltagioo and Cape Hawk @ best price
Kempton 15:45
Shortlist: Al Muheer, Red Somerset, Flowing Cape
I was at Bath to watch the recent run of my virtual stable horse Red Somerset. In discussion with the head lad after the race, he would only be entered today if there were no adverse effects. Better over 8f, in a race where I predict a fast pace his stamina may come into play at the end or he may empty after a long winter campaign.
Flowing Cape is the dark horse and has that “Listed class in Handicap Company” feel about him. Though top weight, Al Muheer ran well behind Red Somerset two starts ago and is well drawn.

Danger: Al Muheer
Kempton 16:15
Shortlist: Royal Dignitary, Alfresco, Prince Of Thebes, Forgotten Voice
After a 535 day absence, why is Forgotten Voice a very short priced favourite?
Royal Dignitary will dominate the pace, however bitter experience has taught me that it extremely difficult to make all at Kempton over 8f. Recent form suggests that Alfresco is primed for a win and as the race unfolds pace wise he should from stall 8 get first dibs on Royal Dignitary in the final furlong.
If the pace collapses completely then I like the look of Prince Of Thebes who ran a quick time recently and drops in class today.
