There is no doubt that last week was one of the worst weeks in my betting career to date. My bets over the course of the week resulted in a net loss of over 20pts and that quite frankly is unacceptable. I spent the majority of my Sunday tinkering with my selection process and studying my betting journals and I can promise my readers that we won't be experiencing a loss like that again any time soon!
Due to the adverse weather conditions elsewhere I will be concentrating my efforts on the jumps card at Southwell today.
12:40 - Tatispout (3/1) - 3pt win - Not a great little race this but the Longsdon horse does look like a value bet against the current favourite. The horse has been out of sorts recently but I'm hoping the combination of a return to good ground and a small field will spark a revival. He is definitely more than capable on his day and Longsdon has targeted the course at Southwell to good effect in recent times. On the pick of his previous form, he clearly well handicapped and providing he stays on his feet, he should run well.
1:10 - Legendary Hop (11/2) - 1pt e/w - I'm taking a punt here on the top weight who in my opinion has more room for improvement than most of his competitors To date this horse has only had 7 career runs and this race today is only his second over fences. His previous experience came in a class 3 beginners chase and it was no surprise that he was outclassed. Today's race looks more realistic, he should be race fit after his previous outing and his trainer has a solid strike rate with his chasers and is 4 from 18 at the track in recent seasons.
3:50 - Ballyalton (1/1) - 3pt win - This is a horse from my to follow list and it's one which I fully expect to win today. I have heard some very positive things about this horse over the last few weeks and the rumours circulating are this one is going to be the subject of a major punt by it's gambling connections. All things considered it would be a very brave man who opposes this horse today.

I have also established links with a number of stables, and receive regular info which I will share on the blog as and when I receive it. For me horse racing is a passion and I'm always looking at ways to improve, both as a tipster and as an equine enthusiast.

Hi, Jordan.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bad week, but we all have them every so often. Still showing a decent profit though and that's the aim of the game. Keep up the good work and the winners won't be too far away.
