Bets 06/05/2012

I’m back. Yesterday’s results may not clearly articulate that, but my daily bets produced a profit. My Ante Post bets all failed miserably. Tom Segal Pricewise had a solid place at 25/1 and I’m disgusted no bookie paid 4 places in the Kentucky Derby despite having 20 runners. (Maybe they did and I just blindly missed it). More damning as Tom Segal picked at 25/1 shot which came 4^th! Camelot was a star yesterday. All the hype was real but more importantly we know not to doubt when Ladbrokes are the shortest price bookie. It’s already happened at least 6 times this season. They are shortest again on Maybe today…

Newmarket 2.05 – A lot of the Triumph Crew of 2011 did me proud over the jumps season. Local Hero(12/1) didn’t manage to win, but he can make up for it here on the flat. Looks uberly well handicapped. Tom Segal agrees with me on this fact.

Newmarket 2.35 – Timepiece(7/4) is the class horse here. Cecil had two winners yesterday and TP is taking a drop in class here. This may not be all that easy though. Izzi Top looked mightily progressive but has now been off for a while and will have to concede 3lb today. Khawlah looks an even bigger danger, but will not like the ground. Came on massively from 2 to 3 yrs old and after two huge wins in Meydan last year might be interesting. Reading the notes from when she raced here on good to soft, it didn’t work out, so will stick with Timepiece.

Newmarket 3.15 – Tom Segal has picked Alla Speranza at 66/1 for the 1000 Guineas today! I’ve backed Maybe in a double with Camelot, so won’t go any further than that. Maybe looks like she’ll be tough to beat and Ladbrokes are yet again the shortest firm (Can’t ignore this). William Haggas’ records in big races is insane so Diala (16/1) must get a look. If you watch her 2^nd behind Lyric of Light must have a chance – looked unlucky and ran on. Think Discourse is the better of the two Zarooni runners. The other I’m tempted by is Mashoora (8/1). French Fifteen came close yesterday and their trial times show Mashoora the quicker horse. I’ve lost some Ante Post on Wading (Booo).

Newmarket 3.50 – Tom Segal has tipped Alben Star(14/1) and The Confessor(12/1). If Seal Rock is currently top of the market then Parisian Pyramid(16/1) is a bet to have. Ran massively wide due to stall draw in last race against Mirza and Seal Rock. I have no doubt would have finished very much closer and will do with a better draw this time!

Gowran Park 3.30 – Chrysanthemum looks the part.
