Bets 27/12/2012

Long Run finally came good for me and must add was uber surprised to see Captain Chris up there. Dynaste was as good as I thought. Darlan, despite being one of my fav horses was not on my bet list and ended up being the difference between a losing day and breaking even. Class prevailed. Katkeau made another costly error and none of my long shots came close. The market is generally accurate a few months into the jumps seasons an favourites seem to dominate the big races. From what I remember anyway! Henderson cleaned up as the stats suggested he would!

Tom Pricewise Segal has had a couple of bets at Leopardstown, but I've missed the prices now:

Leopardstown 3.10 - Glam Gerry 10/1, Ninetieth Minute 28/1

More favourites out to score today I hope:

Kempton 12.55 - Simonsig but can't punt at the odds

Leapordstown 1.25 - Sizing Europe but again can't punt at the odds.

Kempton 1.30 - Swincombe Flame 7/2. Back over hurdles on a decent mark. Hoping the chasing flop hasn't dented jumping confidence.

Kempton 2.05 - For Non Stop 2/1 tentatively. French Opera against Sprinter on paper does not count as Sprinter was trotting but then again Henderson is hosing up and at the weights might be more appealing, but will stick with FNS and hope jumping improves.

Kempton 2.20 - Kumbeshwar 5/1 e/w was one of my horses to follow last year and he was left far too much to do last time. He wouldn't have beaten Sprinter but beats Sanctuaire on that form.

Kempton 3.15 - Spirit River 9/2 was one of my big ante post bets last year. With Henderson's record here and SR's weight has a great chance.

Kempton 3.45 - Pretty tough one, but on previous hurdle form and trainer record, yep you guessed it All The Aces 11/2
