Saturday Scoop 6 & Horse Racing Tips

In Fridays racing tips email I wrote "Not a bad day yesterday with best horse racing bet and both top rated winning. That cannot happen today because the first top rated Broomielaw 4/5 4.10 Doncaster, is a ridiculously short price probably because it has been put out as a free email tip by a well known tipster and Tanya from channel four racing also gives it a big write up. At the RP forecast 2/1 it was a possible best bet but now it is included for the jackpot but no bet otherwise. The second top rated Raccoon 6/4 7.10 Catterick gets 4 points win.

I have put up my jackpot tips but the Doncaster meeting looks a veritable minefield with big fields and four maiden races."

Both the top rated horses won very easily unlike my main tips which all failed to win, but yet again my jackpot tips contained 3 winners - one a stonking 20/1 - 4 placed horses and two forecasts - exactas, the first of which paid £153.80 CSF £132.10

So I will sleep on it and consider changing my strategy to stop at a winner or similar but that does pose problems for proofing my horse racing tips, hmmm.

Winning Horse Racing Tip

Just the one today, my first longshot Paparaazi won 13-2, he was held up, made headway over 4f out, then led over 1f out, driven out to win by half a length. The second long shot dissappointed leaving it too late in the race and made no impression final furlong ending up 5th with Blackheath 4th.

Mark johnstons two runners did not run up to expectations so I am half glad that I had too much housework to do to be able to go to Catterick races even though it looked a perfect day to be at the race course.

Winning longshots

...could do with a few at the monment! Moolarman posted some interesting observations about picking long priced winners:

"Here are a few distance switches you should look for. Give extra consideration for horses changing distances from:
1.) 6 - 6.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile or 1 Mile 1/16th race
2.) 1 Mile race 1 Mile 1/16th race to a 6 - 6.5 furlong race
3.) 5 - 5.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile race (this is very powerful!)
4.) 1 Mile race to a 5 - 5.5 furlong race
5.) 2 - 6 furlong races to a Route Grass Race
6.) For Maidens: 2 - 6 or 6.5 furlong races to a 1 mile 1/16 or 1 mile 1/8 race
(super powerful if combined with a drop in class!)
7.) 7 furlongs to 1 mile 1/16
8.) 1 mile 1/16 to 7 furlongs
Well there you have some super-potent trainer distance changes that can produce very big-priced horse racing longshots."

Longshot wins 12/1 racing tip

Despite the weather forcing the abandonment of both jumps race meetings I managed to find a tasty 12/1 winning long shot - Million Percent 1.50 Ling

In my email about the Top rated shorties: Back or lay?.Si Foo 4.05 Lingfield I wrote that "I will be leaving Si Foo alone" which turned out well as it lost at a very short price
