The epitome of an average punting week. Had a few
write offs, but all were limited, and a few cheeky wins to level it out, so a £4 loss this week! Segal cost me £120, but I can’t stay mad at him and with Flat racing back I’m far too
excited to worry about a few lost pounds. O’Brien started the season poorly
again and anyone who backed any of his horses yesterday needs a history lesson.
He will pay you back in a few weeks time - let him warm up. The most
interesting aspect about his losses were the number of races Joseph was on
board. I wonder whether Joseph O’Brien is an interesting price for the Irish
Flat Jockeys Title. The Racing Post Pundits have convinced me it is!
Camelot’s doubt for the Guineas was inevitable. Ladbrokes
and Coral’s prices few weeks/months ago would have told you that as we know
about their connections with Ballydole. New Approach’s baby Dawn Approach
hacked up and his babies might be worth looking out for this season!
Just three big jump events left @ Aintree, Ayr and
Punchestown and then it’s all about the Flat! I can’t wait, and although there
was no stand out 2 year old last year, there are some very exciting prospects,
and one point which was cemented on Champions Day last year, is it is all about
the class horses in the bigger races. It sounds obvious, but if it was that
obvious we’d all be minted. Don’t be clever and try to take class on. It often
pays off, but in the long term, nah, it really does not.
