Morning all, another good start yesterday. I'm trying something a bit different today. I've split my tips into 2, main chances and ones i think have a chance. We'll say 2pt and 1pt and see how it goes, it can hardly do too much damage to this months stats.

Well, after a positive start yesterday, a few places and a 9/2 winner, we had to sit and suffer the rest of a tricky day! Hoping for a bit better today, we'll have to see what happens. I've a fair few to put up. 18 in exact, I'll set a target of 4-5 winners. Fingers crossed.

Morning all, a much much much much better day yesterday, 5 winners from 18 for a 16pt profit. Hopefully we can find more of the same today, I've got another 20 picks today across the 5 meeting, probably best not to get carried away with stake as it's a Monday but this is my tuppence worth as to some you should at least factor into your calculations, it's not been a good month for those who follow me blind, and i apologise for that, there's 3 days left and then the calcs get reset to zero and we have another stab at getting our betting accounts closed. :-) Bring it on!

Morning all, A positive start yesterday limped out with some poor performances late on, I think Lightning Cloud was unlucky coming home 3rd but well clear on his side of the track, well done though if you aren't as arrogant as me and backed him each way. Just 7 horses for you today, and then what I'm betting on in the NFL and EPL, how unlucky were yesterdays football bets, late goals where we didn't want them, and a failure to get one where we did. Right I'll get on.

Friday 19-10-12

Morning all. A couple of winners in newbie corner yesterday, but unfortunately only the NAP could oblige on the advised bets. Hoping for better today. A nice meeting at Cheltenham to enjoy, usual Friday night AW fayre from Wolves and Dundalk and Fakenham and Haydock support nicely.

FAKENHAM

1200 OPERATION TRACER (NB)
Stayed on well into second after being hampered on the run in last time out. Travelled nicely for most of the race and looks a nice hurdling type.

130 QUINSMAN
Very progressive type, looks to be on a fair mark and step up in trip shouldn't be a problem.

HAYDOCK

225 BLUE LOTUS
Didn't get home in much hotter race last time out. Back down to winning trip today and reunited with pilot of that victory. Overpriced due to potential hotpot at top of market.

300 BRAVO YOUMZAIN
Race down to 4 now and this one sets the standard for me. Been very consistent and 3/4 runs at 6f he's done his best work late on. Tried at 7f for the first time today, nothing to suggest it'll be a problem.

WOLVERHAMPTON

550 WILTSHIRE LIFE
Back down to same mark as when victorious at Kempton over this trip, struggled up in grade since then. He likes to do it upfront and a very capable jockey for that, especially in this sphere.

650 STARLIGHT ANGEL
She has a tough draw to overcome. She does look very overpriced to me though. Luke gets on with her very well and I think you'll get a run for your money. It's her first go on the polytrack but no real negative on breeding for that.

720 GUNNER WILL
This one is certainly becoming a cliffhorse, I keep backing and he keeps running poor. But he's in my notebook, there has to be some ability in there, right? He had some decent 2yo form but really has been poor this year. Mark has tumbled though to say the least and this is by far the weakest race he has contested.

850 DARNATHEAN
I honestly thought he had won last time out, until the judges saw the photo differently. He's due to go up 2lb for that marginal defeat but comes out here on same mark. Certainly a worthy favourite if in the same frame of mind.

CHELTENHAM

245 DOMTALINE
On a hattrick although somewhat fortunate to win last time, the second that day however has gone on and won twice since, so there'd have been no damage in defeat. Ruby climbs up today and that's a massive positive.

430 BIRZALI
I've been following this one in Ireland and interesting they've bought him over here for this type of race, travelled nicely last time out before failing to see out the trip, this is shorter and he has a chance at a big price.

540 CONSTANT CONTACT
Potentially found weight/grade too much last time, this looks as competitve mind, although with the handicapper taking 4 off and Callum Whillans claiming 3 he's half a stone lighter than last time. He was behind a couple of these last time and has been given a more than fair pull in the weights yet they are both half his price.

DUNDALK

730 CURIA REGIS (NAP)
He's made the frame every time he's been here, and seems to have a chance at the weights with those reopposed. My system makes him my best bet of the day and as it's had 3 in a row i'm going to trust it.

900 SPRING HAWK
Has a fair few placed efforts at this track, she has been going very well over hurdles this summer and looks a decent price.

Morning all. Lots studied this morning and ran out of time so I'm typing this on my phone at work! My NAP was due to run at Punchestown so only a NB available now. Loads in newbie corner, that's what took the time. 3 Street Cry progeny out today and your notebook horse.

Personally I prefer the filly (anjaz) at the bigger price, and the legup of William Buick certainly boosts that view, but both have won on polytrack and both look on reasonable marks for this race. NOTEBOOK HORSE HUNTSMANS CLOSE next engagement WOLVERHAMPTON 18/10 14:30 This one is progressing well and should have won before now but offers little off the bridle. Form of last time out second was boosted yesterday by the winner going in again in a better race. Worth a couple more chances in my opinion. That's it. Hopefully this will post okay.

Tuesday 16-10-12

This is a very poor run. I'm considering a break next week, after the Champions Day meeting at Ascot. If I can't turn around my luck then this is looking a grand possibility. I have a few today, I've tried to broaden my system a little in the bid that more darts = greater chance of a bull. Technically it's right but the flipside of the coin is more bets = more losers! Anyway I have 14, 2 with dangers and 10 newbies. My first formbook horse for you, No Street Crys entered today, but there is an interesting one going at Haydock on Friday, out of a Sadlers Wells mare and holds a Derby entry.
Right, to it

With Pricewise sharing his secrets, ahem, I figured why don't i get in on the act. I'm not sure I could charge £16 for a book that tells you not to back every favourite and to pick 2 or 3 big prices that look to have a chance, but heyho. What I will do is put up one horse for your notebook that the previous days racing has highlighted, and when (if) it has it's next engagement. This will start tomorrow. If anything turns up.

Thursday 11th October -

Morning all, a nice winning NAP yesterday, pushed us back towards the breakeven. A pretty cagey day today really, I've only 4 bets and just the one Street Cry runner, and I'll be honest it's not one I really like.

NAP - FAUSTINA PIUS 245 TRAMORE
Other than a below par effort on bottomless last time, this one has been generally running well. Potentially exposed but very much sets the standard here. May well find one from nowhere but as long as available at a sensible odds against price, worth the risk, in my opinion.

NB - RUN MARY 345 TRAMORE (33/1 Boylesports)
Still has to get into race, 1st reserve. Has shown little to get excited about but given an ease by the handicapper and toungue tie will be used if lining up.

CELTIC CHARLIE 850 KEMPTON (8/1 bet365)
All decent efforts have come on the AW from this gelding. Last won off a mark of 49 in February, today races off 52 but the very good Jemma Marshall takes off a useful 5lbs essentially making it 47.

GRAPHIC 750 KEMPTON (16/1 Ladbrokes, BetVictor, 365, William Hill)
Bare record reads 2 wins from 10, delving in removing better races than this it becomes 2 from 6, both of those wins have come at this track, and 1 over this trip. A big ask with some of the animals he's up against, but worth a play at this price, in my opinion.


STREET CRYS
Just the one today
CHATTERATI 510 AYR
I'm not going to lie, I don't really like this filly one bit. Showed absolutely nothing for Godolphin, Mark Johnstone managed to somehow make her briefly look like a racehorse when she first moved to Sheikh Mohammed's son. No interest at all. In fact  might even place lay.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Wednesday 10th October -

Good morning all, a blank yesterday but could have been so much more with 20/1, 14/1 and 14/1 places!!! Talk about hitting the crossbar. I've only 7 today and a bit of time so I'll do a little write up on each. Plus I'm introducing #teamstreetcry. Street Cry is my favourite sire, and I generally back each runner to varying success, I've found the female progeny to be more profitable but haven't really kept a log.

NAP - KING OF DUDES 535 NAVAN (12/1 365,Coral)
Formally with Sir Henry Cecil, now resides with Thomas Carmody and represents the Andrew Tinkler operation. Has some solid form in the book, including a soft ground win at Leopardstown in July. Todays pilot has twice had him placed in Apprentice events and takes 10lb of the allotted weight which itself has an age allowance. Where he should be carrying topweight effectively he slots in somewhere in the middle of the pack and if the first time blinkers have the desired effect this is a prime opportunity for this runner.

NB - ODDYSEY 400 NOTTINGHAM (3/1 Paddy Power, BetFred)
Micheal Dods' filly has been very consistent, last 6 figures read 122133, having a third crack at current mark whilst being reunited with the jockey responsible for the two 1's, who just so happens to be able to relinquish 3lb. This horse has seen significant support overnight and most form suggests that the step up in trip will suit nicely.

SEPTEMBER LILY 305 NAVAN (4/1 365)
This filly has had a lot of chances but generally given a decent account, placing 6 times, dealt with a few of todays opponents last time out and has blinkers fitted for the first time today. Maybe this is final chance saloon for her in my book but she'll sure give a run for our money.

FORRAY 300 NOTTINGHAM (14/1 Widely available)
Has been running in better races than this and will handle the cut in the ground. 4 starts ago was not beaten far in secod by a horse called Body and Soul who has really gone into orbit since. A few less exposed types to deal with here but this looks a realistic engagement and the price looks too big, it may get more realistic if the favourite doesn't line up.

GANGSTERBANKSTERS 600 KEMPTON (14/1 365,Sky)
Like September Lily this one is a bit of a #cliffhorse for me. I think his opening handicap mark was very harsh, even though the form of his maidens has held up, probably more reliable to look at the first one only. Looks on a nicer mark now and with one hell of a jockey booked. Martin Harley often does well when teaming up with Elaine Burke and I'm hoping for a big run this evening.

LETSTALKABOUTMONEY 800 KEMPTON (20/1 Coral, Stan James)
Well face it that's what it's all about anyway, right? Strong form in lower grades, was out of depth last time out but this looks more suitable on handicap debut. Can be found as short as 10/1 elsewhere so certainly value in the price if nothing else.

DAZZLING VALENTINE 500 NOTTINGHAM (14/1 Pretty much everywhere!)
This filly always travels well, and she finally got her reward after a racewinning jump onto the rail from Natasha Eaton, Natasha continues her affiliation with this one in this apprentice event. Chances are she won't give us a huge amount in the finish but she should come there with something in the tank. Worth a play at the price.

That's my bets. Onto the Street Crys

BERKELEY STREET 330 NOTTINGHAM
A newcomer for the Queen and Sir Micheal Stoute, 3 parts brother to a useful group filly trained in France, may well prove to be one for the notebook. Watch the market.

STREET POWER 730 KEMPTON
Jeremy Gask's 7yo gelding has 6 of his 9 career wins here at Kempton, 4 over todays trip. Partnered tonight by one of the elite AW jockeys George Baker I think he has a real chance at a decent price.

In the football I'm having a speculative play on Stockport to beat Wrexham.

Morning all, will have to be a quickie today, wanted to bash out a few thoughts but time is against me this morning, if i get time later I'll tweet some. The racing is surprisingly better than muck for a Monday. Okay I'm not getting carried away and suggesting it's good, but there are one or two reasonably competitive races to get teeth into. 11 bets today, I think that's the most I've put up on a Monday since I used to do every race!!! I'll get to it.

Sunday 7th October - Arc day.

Well the Arc is upon us, Camelot gets a second chance to prove greatness, I think the pressure is surely higher after excuses appeared following the long odds on defeat in the Leger, I don't think he can win the Arc, but that's just me. Antepost I think I only have St Nicholas Abbey lining up for me, so hopefully he can find his way into the frame somehow. I like Godolphin's 3yo Masterstroke who has raced, and beaten, his elders this season already. I've had a few bets at Longchamp today, mostly for interest, I'll add them on here but I really haven't studied just picked some out that I like. Other than that a pretty cagey days racing, I've just 4 bets, 4/4 would be nice.

I think perhaps I've been trying too hard, overlooking things, reading what's not there? I don't know. Normally by now I would be well in profit but so far have only landed a couple bets and if i was broke even I'd be happy! So just 2 bets today a mix money-spread acca, and a points acca.

Morning all, yesterday I did all the backwork, picked out my bets, my newbies, placed my bets, entered my tipping competition. The forgot to actually write the blog! I would love to tell you all I got 10 winners at double figure prices, but I didn't. I didn't get bugger all, I got 1 second I think from 5 bets, I did have 2 decent fancies at Sligo but that went by the wayside anyway.
Onto today, I have 7 bets and 3 newbies.
