Bets 14/07/2012 - July Cup Day 3

Argh. Lost £80 on accumulators, £100 on Golden Lilac and lost out on £50 by betting with 888.com and not getting Best Price Guaranteed. However, I stuck with Segal, like I always do, and I backed 4 horses in one race, kept to Elusive Kate and Gosden so I came out with some nice winners and on top. Today is mental. There are a lot of horses not getting their usual jockey today due to ‘Super Saturday’. Another one of days were could all go stoned pete tong. I’m off out for day now and gutted to be missing all the action!

Longchamp 6.50pm – Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped Last Train 12/1. Ladbrokes are dodging Imperial Monarch 9/4, which means only one thing. I think he is top class as well the way he finished his last race and tempted to wedge it.

Newmarket 1.40pm – I have a free bet with Bet365 on this race so use it on Bronze Angel 7/1 who I backed at Ascot and reckon will go close again and also Sir John Hawkwood 7/2.

Newmarket 2.10pm – Olympic Glory 7/4

Newmarket 2.40pm – Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped Bonnie Brae 10/1. I’ll leave it there although pundits and Hughes whisper Belgian Bill 14/1

Newmarket 3.20pm – Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped Sepoy 10/1. I’ve backed Bated Breath antepost so hope he runs.

Newmarket 4.30pm – I have a note saying back Rated 13/2 in my calendar. No idea why, but I’ll do it.

Newmarket 5.05pm – Local Hero 15/2 probably needs a break now, but has a good chance either way.

York 1.55pm – Common Touch 16/1 has best record here. Silvery Moon 7/1 has made me some good money this season too and 6lb may not be enough to prevent another win

York 2.25pm – Western Pearl 20/1 was 3^rd in this last year and could have won it if ridden earlier. Out the handicap this time but good each-way value with 4 places. Crackentorp 9/1 C&D specialist should always be feared.

York 3.00pm – Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped Media Hype 8/1. Navaja Chief 14/1 is far too big. License To Till 20/1 might tempt me but the favourite Mijhaar 4/1 actually looks solid, very solid. You’ll notice Nathanial, Fury and Gatewood form lines…

York 3.35pm – Hayley/C Lady were mighty impressive last time out, but reckon the C&D factor make this a win Hamish Mcgonagall 11/2. Last year’s winner Masamah will go close, but ground may go against. Hope it does!

Newbury 3.10pm – Soul 2/1. OR say so.

Newbury 3.50pm – Hototo 9/2 all day long. Solid, honest race last time. No reason to see why any horse would reverse placings.

Newbury 4.20pm – Retrieve 3/1. Weighted to reverse with Qarabaa. Poet looks regressive. Expense Claim is biggest threat but not backing as well.

Chester 3.25pm – Majestic Myles 7/2. Have never worked out when to back Our Jonathan so will just avoid, but will now no doubt win.
