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.

The rest of todays horse racing tips are on my site now

Winning horse racing tips Wednesday

I am seriously considering making some changes to my betting strategy, my jackpot placepot tips are throwing up a fair few winners and even more placed horses even though the jackpot race meetings do not always feature what are considered "good" betting races.

Take today's Salisbury races for example, the first three races are maidens with 14 horses racing in each of them of which about a third have never run on a racecourse before. So with very little form to go on, to pick a horse to back the most relevent stats available are trainer and jockey course statistics and recent stable form. Alas these may mean nothing when racing against an unraced hotpot.

This does however mean that there is more chance of longer priced horses winning which, if you get them right, means higher returns and especially a higher return for the jackpot placepot as less people are likely to get a share of the pool. Yesterdays results at Salisbury back up this theory with only one favourite winning and only one favourite being placed! Not a favourite backers day there then. I tipped up one winner, one second and 3 thirds so backing place only would have shown a tidy profit.

So is place backing my jackpot placepot tips the way to go?

As I write at Salisbury I tipped the horse that came second in the first race and the winner of the second

Wednesday Racing Woes

Why oh why did I nap a Jamie Spencer ride...betty turned up today and has let a lot of punters down..gggrrrrr

I still have a couple to run and fingers crossed for the placepot today, two placed horse so far, early on the race card but still in the game at least

Tuesday Horse Racing Tips

I had really high hopes of my next best racing tip today, Lindens Lady was declared last night at Thirsk but did not run at its local racecourse. The trainer Weymes who has been in great form recently chose instead to send Lindens Lady 296 miles down to Brighton racecourse. She not beaten far her only previous try at Brighton races four years ago and had a decent apprentice,Patrick Hills,up today but she didnt even manage a place!

Very dissappointing indeed, maybe time to put Weymes on the cold trainers list? I really hope not as I also chose a Weymes horse for my second longshot tonight, Drink to me only at Musselburgh.

Listening to Will Hill radio as I type I just heard that the other northern raider at Brighton won easily - Ishebee for a Duffield,5/1. Doh! Thats racing and gambling for you, so many factors to take into account a case of the right factors here just the wrong race.

How to Create Your Own Winning Horse Racing System

A useful article for newcomers to horse racing systems:

Most people think that you need to be an expert to produce a successful and profitable horse racing system which produces winner after winner.

However creating your own winning system is not difficult if you follow these 9 simple steps.

Let’s consider a hypothetical horse called ‘Old Nag’ and see if conforms to these 9 steps!

All the relevant information on ‘Old Nag’ can be found in the offline or free online version of the ‘Racing Post’ which is the industries leading newspaper.

* The number of runners in a race will obviously affect the chances of ‘Old Nag’ winning. A big field means more competition. It follows that it would be difficult to pick a winner in a race of more than 12 runners.

* The type of ground a horse is running on is one of the most important factors in the outcome of a race. The ‘going’ should be good or good to firm. If the going is soft or heavy then the outcome of the race could well only depend only on the size of ‘Old Nag’s’ feet!

* When a horse ran its last race is also important. If ‘Old Nag’ has not run for a while it would be difficult to judge its present form. Its last race should have been run in the present season, and no longer than 28 days ago. The shorter the period from its last race the better.

* Of course it would not be a good bet if the horse ran a few days ago only to come in last! It follows that its form or where it was placed in the last few races is important. Ideally you would want ‘Old Nag’ to have come in first or second in the last 3 races.

* The distance the race has to be run is also important. If the race is too short ‘Old Nag’ may not have enough time to show its true form. On the other hand if the race is too long anything could happen… the apocalypse might come, or the jockey might fall asleep! A safe distance would be between 5 furlongs and less than 3 miles.

* The ‘Racing Post’ is the countries leading newspaper on all things to do with horse racing. Only the top tipsters appear in this paper. Their forecast for the winner of each race appears in a part of the Racing Post called ‘The Selection Box’. If 60 to 80% of them tip ‘Old Nag’ as the potential winner then its time to sit up and take note.

* The letters C and D sometimes appear in the horses form. The C means the horse has been a winner over this particular course at sometime in the past. The D means he has been a winner over the distance the present race is being run. If C or D (or preferably both) appear then this is a strong indication that the horse should be considered.

* Handicap races are notoriously difficult to predict as theoretically all horses should pass the finishing line at the same time. So choosing non handicap races means even ‘Old Nag’ might have a chance.

* Finally favourites win around 33% of the time. So look out for favourites especially if they are 3/1 or lower in the betting.

Of course even if ‘Old Nag’ meets all these criteria there is still no certainty that it will win. There is a way, however, where you will ALWAYS profit from a race. You can email me at ian.paton3@btinternet.com for more information on this.

Winning Jackpot tips Newmarket Races

Sods law strikes again! In yesterdays email I wrote:

"Good afternoon,

apologies for the time but the Newmarket Jackpot meeting is particularly fiendish today I think."

So then what happens? Yup, all my main horse racing tips let me down but 4 winners and two placed from the Jackpot selections, sods law again i did not pick a winner or placed horse in two legs.

Saturday horse racing tips are online now - first winner in already for the jackpot.

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.

Racing Tips 7th August Catterick & Chepstow

Where do the minutes, hours, days, weeks go? Or in other words why am I too short of time to blog? Well, as a full time housewifewho hates housework it seems to take up an inordinate amount of my time and the space in my head yet can never be said "to be done". I guess that is just the nature of the beast.

Racing today is at Chepstow and Catterick and both look very tricky race meetings indeed. The tote jackpot is at Chepstow - another jackpot winning day would be just the best possible result right now.

Anyway on to today's free racing tips as sent in my email earlier today:


Just two meetings today but hey both look very tricky. Mark Johnstons horses seem to be firing again so the top rated Osolomio 11/10 3.30 Catterick is passed over in favour of his Frosty Night at 4/1, 3 points win and a one point double with my nap also a 2yo Johnston horse.

Mark Johnston has a 40% strike rate in 2yo non-handicaps at the track, for a profit of £30.48. Mark Johnston also posts a profit in handicaps for non-juveniles at Catterick, especially with 3yo against older horses, a profile fitted by Frosty Night.

Best bet: Miesko 9/4 3.00 Catterick 6 points win

Next best bet: Attilas Peintre 10/3 &2.30 Catterick 5 points win, 1 point double

Two pts each way & 0.5 ew dble: Paparaazi 7/1 4 Catterick, Throw The Dice 8/1 5.30 Catterick

Combination Exacta: Throw The Dice, Ballybunion, Blackheath 5.30 Catterick

Top rated shorties: Osolomio 11/10 3.30 Catterick

July RAcing Profits

A good days racing results for my tips away from the big meeting at Newmarket. David Barker, a local racing trainer, did me a favour by winning with Choysia 4.40 Catterick which was 20/1 when I picked it and won at 14/1. My other longshot, Fifteen Love 10/1 4.20 Newmarket, managed 2nd at 12/1 and is one to follow for me.

Oh, and later on 8.20 Kempton my nap, Electric Warrior wan at a very nice price of 7/2 taking my tips into a profit of over 53 points for July so far.

So to conclude my tightening up of my selection system - and not having to go out to work - has lead to increased profits from my racing tips

Winning lay tip

Just the one winner from my main bets yesterday - Drastic Measure 3/1 3.05 Catterick Lay advised, 9th @ 5/2

I am going to be applying more filters to my system for picking horses and hope to increase my strike rate.

So far today my first two tips in my placepot won - the first at 6/1 and the second, also my top rated shortie tip at

Racing profit July

Ah, sunny July at last...in between the deluges and have crept into profit for the month with two nice priced winners yesterday at 11/2 & 7/2. When I selected those horses however they were Lytham 5/1 6.30 Lingfield & Mayadeen 7/1 3.15 Hamilton so both were heavily backed to almost half the opening show. Pleased I put my bets on early!

May Racing Update

Poor old neglected blog, just shows how much my little part time job is interfering with my real interests, ho hum, decision time I think...

Have had a few good Saturdays at the races recently, making a profit on the day for the last three weeks. My offical stats are not so good but taking into account some nice each ways doubles, Exactas etc not too bad at all.

I found this article really useful when making up my own ratings:

Ever wondered how a bookmaker ‘makes’ his ‘book’? When you visit a race course and look along the rows of bookmaker pitches, just how do they come up with the different prices? Surely the figures are not just plucked out of thin air, because its not often you hear the sob story about a poor bookmaker!

Normally the prices for any given race are settled around 4pm the day before a race. Every major bookmaker will have a team of five or so odds-compilers, one working on each race on the card. These odds are then delivered to the trading team, and the rails bookmakers at the respective courses. Once a market opens on track, the individual bookmakers will keep an eye on what the others are doing as the market unfolds. Each will be competing against the others, trying to attract business by offering the best prices. At the same time they need to balance their books and make a profit. It’s certainly no easy task!

When pricing up any event, the first thing a bookmaker will need to consider is the amount of profit to build into his prices. If he wishes to make a 20% margin he will need to price the race at 120% of the natural odds. Calculating the profit margin is made all the more difficult in the UK because it is one of the most over-populated betting markets in the world, and consequently very competitive. Margins too high and you will be uncompetitive, but cut your margins too much and you will make less profit.

Playing The Percentages

Here is a little game you can try, to help you understand how prices compare to the chances of a horse winning a race. You will need a pack of cards.

First, place the four Ace cards face up in front of you on a table. If you can imagine, these will represent the four runners in the starting stalls of our ‘race’. Now, shuffle the remaining cards. Next, deal twelve cards off the top of the deck, down one side of the table. These cards will represent the 12 furlong markers on our ‘race-course’.

In my example, the 12 ‘furlong’ cards comprised 4 clubs, 3 hearts, 2 diamonds, and 3 spades.

Start the race by turning over the first card off the top of the deck. A 'horse' will move forward one furlong each time you reveal a card of the corresponding suit. So, if the first card is a club, move the Club horse out of the stalls and forward one furlong. Repeat until a horse reaches the twelth and final furlong - you have a winner!!

So, how should we have priced up each of these 4 horses before the race? Well, first you need to consider these figures: with 4 Ace cards, and 12 further cards already dealt from an original pack of 52, there are 36 cards left in the pack. Diamonds is the favourite with 10 cards left in the pack, followed by Spades and Hearts with 9 cards each, and finally the outsider Clubs with 8 cards.

Calculations go something like this for Diamonds: 10 cards in a pack of 36 remaining cards, so 10 divided by 36, times 120(%) profit margin, equals 33.3(%) which in fractional terms means odds of 2/1

For Spades and Hearts: 9 cards in a pack of 36 remaining cards, so 9 divided by 36, times 120(%) profit margin, equals 30.0(%) which in fractional terms means odds of between 9/4 and 5/2

Finally, the calculation for Clubs: 8 cards in a pack of 36 remaining cards, so 8 divided by 36, times 120(%) profit margin, equals 26.7(%) which in fractional terms means odds of 11/4

Adding up the percentages you can see the total is 33% plus 30% plus 30% plus 26% equals 119% which gives you your 'over-round' profit margin of 19%

Given that 67% of all races are won by the favourite, a bookmaker might well shorten the price of the favourite, and then add some value to the other horses, to balance his book.

This was obviously a simplified example, with only four horses in the race, but hopefully it highlights some of the reasoning behind pricing up a race.

Winning Racing Tips April

Poor old blog, have been feeling pretty poorly so Gambling Housewife blog always seems to be the first to suffer, the good news is that so far April is going well, +41.45 points profit on singles to date...

The email tips are doing especially well, yesterday I wrote "Hope you are full of the joys of spring after a long weekend and some good results yesterday with both the best and next best winning plus the first long shot and the first top rated followed by the top rated lay as advised.

Today’s top rated should win easily but the Johnston hot pot will only get 5 points of my bank if I can get evens and Blackthorn similar at 11/10 or better but I will double them up with my best and next best."

Shame about Augustine but still a profitable days racing tips...

Fellow tipster blogger

One to watch? Yippee off to the bank

Winning email tips

Blimey, a full week of tipping to catch up on, will have to complete later. Just to say the email tips are doing quite well ..Mondays read 'Lester Leaps In, the first top rated should win easily'..made a tasty win double with my racing nap: King of The Beers 9/2 4.10 Kempton 5 points win...better crack on and get picking some winning horses for today...oh to get the Tote JAckpot up again!

Sunday nap & next best bets won

Tasty little win double for Sundays horse racing tips

Best Bet: WON Euro American 7/2 2.00 Carlisle 5 points win

Next best racing tip: WON Harry Wood 2/1 4.40 Carlisle 5 points win, 1 pt double

The win double paid 13 points to each point bet with the singles returning a profit of 17.5 and 9.38 respectively for 22.88 points profit on the days singles alone.

Shame I can only proof singles as they are not always where my best profits really come from. For example my winning jackpot tips in January paid over 18 thousand pounds so for the rest of the year I only need to make about 40 pence a day to stay on target for 50 pounds a day...

Cheltenham winning racing tips

Oh dear, failed to find a winner away from Cheltenham yesterday but made a fair few points profit from the tips advised in my email:

'First day of Cheltenham and my main bets are elsewhere although I will be playing small stakes on some of my Jackpot selections, my main fancies being 3.15 Sublimity, 4.40 Spot Thedifference and 5.20 Madroos, two points each way and a small round robin.

I will also be laying My Way de Solzen 3/1 2.35 Cheltenham and Exit Swinger 5/2 4.55 Sedgefield plus a 5 point win on Rebel Army in the latter.'

The main dissapointment was My Way De Solzen which I reckon only won because my fancy Don t Push It fell.

Today I will be hoping for a big day for my Cheltenham tips, especially in the bumper...

100% strike rate continues

The lay tip wins again! In yesterday's email I wrote:

"Shame about the short price for Zaham as that makes it a no bet for me apart from for the Jackpot. The other top rated - Risk Accessor 11/8 4 Leicester – merits a 5 point lay risk with 5 points on V Williams Holy Joe to win. The lays for Feb & March have had a 100% strike rate!"

Monday Winning Double Racing Tips

Not too bad a day yesterday, I got it right when I wrote "Surrey Spinner 6/4 2.30 Ling is worth 5 points win bet' then I got the lay selection correct but not the winner of that race..." but I reckon Climate will beat Blue Sky Thinking today."

My "Next best: Three Thieves 3/1 2.20 Wolverhampton 5 points win" also obliged but my two longshots both just missed out on the places as both came in fourth..

Off to check out Newcastle and Southwell for today...

Interesting article in The Guardian about how greedy punters looking for an edge almost got stung big style.

They thought they "had stumbled upon an edge. The first goalscorer market on Betfair for the Coca-Cola Cup final appeared to be no less than 40% overbroke on the lay side, suggesting that anyone with half a brain could lay every eventuality for a guaranteed profit.
The good news was duly relayed to the rest of the forum, to general rejoicing and cries of "let's get stuck in". Which plenty of them duly did, laying the market for all they were worth - in fact, significantly more than they were worth, because Betfair's software recognised what seemed to be a locked-in profit and did not deduct it from their balance.....

....The problem arose because bets on players who do not start, or have not joined the game as substitutes by the time the first goal is scored, are cancelled, as more experienced Betfair players knew all too well. The market was not overbroke at all, it just looked that way.
The original thread tells the story best of all, in dozens of short episodes penned by those involved, which turn from smug backslapping to shock and embarrassment as it becomes clear that they might, in fact, be neck-deep in doo-doo. Had Betfair not decided to stand their losses, in fact, a number of them could have been several thousand pounds down."

Hilairious although the author does conclude that there are indeed adges to be had but not usually so apparently obvious.

Winning Treble Racing Tips

Well, pleased black February is behind me and winning racing tips are starting to flow again.

In saturdays email I wrote "Big roll over on the Scoop Six today, can I do a Haddock? For short priced fav backers La Dame Brune should boost your bank in the opener at Newbury, Karello Bay is a 5 point lay with 5 points win on Golden Child in that race. Please note I have changed back to 2 points each way on the long shots…

Best bet Saturday: Coach Lane 2/1 3.30 Kempton 7 points win

Next best tip: Maljimar 3/1 2.10 Newbury 5 points win, 1pt double...

My best bet and next best tips both won nicely and my email tip, Golden Child won at a very nice 4/1 with my singles, doubles and treble boosting my bank by 200 points!

Nap won 9/4

Found a cracking horse racing blog by the owner of a few race horses, reckon I will be checking it out frequently.

The winners are starting to come back to me - heres hoping for a cracking Sunday to build on Saturdays winning best bet WON Sweet Pickle 3/1

Big Jackpot rollover Lingfield today

I must remember to put it on and repeat my winning jackpot selections!

"THE totejackpot went unclaimed at Towcester on Sunday to ensure a rollover of £206,436 starts the day at Lingfield on Monday.

A victory at Fontwell for 33-1 shot Whitford Don in leg four - paying 45-1 on the Tote - did the damage knocking out the remaining 145 tickets. Paul Petrie, totepool spokesman, said: “The big hitters got involved today and with an odds-on favourite winning the first things were definitely looking good.

“However, a 22-1 winner in the second leg and then a 33-1 winner in the fourth proved too difficult and there is a massive jackpot up for grabs to get the punting week off to a flyer.”"

I wish!

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

Racing tips February profits...

Finally, 5 minutes to catch up with my raicing tips blog...only five racing days into this month and already showing 44.11 points profit at advised stakes. The extra email shorties are going well - yesterday both won...the email tip alert advised 4 points on each..

05/02/07 Hexham Bedlam Boy Win 4
05/02/07 Wolverhampton Canadian Danehill Win 4

Johnston did me proud putting in my nap, News of The Day at 9/4 for 22 points profit.

Strange days racing today as both jumps cards have been abandoned so all my tips will be on the all weather racing at Southwell. I quite fancy Barron to put in a 1 -2 - fingers crossed!

What a week of winning tips

Just about recovered from the excitment of tipping up the jackpot on Thursday, only managed to get the placepot on Friday - but 8 times mind you....along with a couple of decent winners yesterday. I wrote in my email:

Winning horse racing tips Saturday

What a great days racing last Saturday! In my email I wrote "I hope you all enjoyed watching yesterdays racing as much as I did. The highlights for me were Celtic Major who was given a superb ride in front from the off and although the favourite loomed up close to the finish he won in good style. Malettons race was a real nail biter but Sam Thomas did us proud despite pausing to look back through his legs. Johnstons two disappointed hugely."

The tips were:
"Gambling Housewife best bet Saturday: WON Maletton 3/1 3.50 Wincanton 8 points win

Next best tip: WON The Sawyer 9/4 3.30 Haydock 5 points win, 1pt double

Top rated shorties: LAY WON No Guarantees 11/4 2.15 Wincanton, Melpomene 11/10 6.20 Kempton Back or lay? Find out in my email alerts.

Sadly, after a cracking week Sunday and Monday fell far short with just an exacta and short priced winner but I am still top of the backing tipsters for the past month on Racing Index.

What a week of winners

143.93 points profit since last Saturday! Friday I had a touch of seconditus but still made a profit on the following tips:

Four to one winning tip

Just the one bank saving winner yesterday but I learnt a couple of lessons..

Avoid any race meeting where an inspection has been held - the later the inspection the stronger this advice.

Listen to myself (again) Tuesday night I pencilled in the Prescott runner as a long shot, forecast to go off at 8/1 and with the profile of a Prescott plot horse. I discarded it because the morning betting showed it at around 7/2, 4/1 so I binned it. It later drifteed back to sevens and won..Grrrr

Yesterdays tip alert email read:

"lets hope to improve on yesterdays good results.
Unfortunatly I have say that I will not be betting on the top rated shorties today and could not find a win or place alternative so no bets in those races apart from for the jackpot. However Edin Burgher merits a 5 point single and 1 point treble with my nap and next best.

Best bet Voss 7/2 12.20 Lingfield 8 Points win

Tuesday winning email tip

Another good day for my racing tips yesterday + + 26.25 on just the singles!

best bet: WON Come Bye 9/4 2.20 Folkestone 8 points win

Next best bet: WON Topiary Ted 9/4 1.40 Wolverhampton 5 points win

Top rated shorties: WON Melpomene 13/8 Superrollercoaster 13/8, WON Hurlingham 1/2 3.30 S

Not too bad yesterday with only one tip failing to make the frame, shame the placepot went down on one leg, here's hoping I do better today.

Three top rated but I will be betting Melpomene & Superrollercoaster as 10 point singles and in a 2 point double plus a one point treble but no straight bet either back or lay on Hurlingham. In the 3.40 Wolves Glenviews Youngone could be the dark horse, 1 point win 4 points place for me.

Monday racing winnings

Another good day for my racing tips with only one from seven failing to make the frame for a very tasty 21.70 points profit plus a small exacta win to provide the icing on the cake.

Email subscribers did especially well if they followed my advice:

"Hope you had a great weekend, it certainly made mine when we came back from the pub to see that my nap and next best both won.

The two Barron shorties today were pencilled in as my nap and next best but are too short to qualify, however I rate them as 10 point back selections and will make a great treble with Maletton, also a 10 pointer. BTW both Barron horses are in Betfred best odds races.

Gambling Housewife's best bet: 2nd Running Hot 3/1 3 Plumpton 7 points win

Free racing tipsters tip (next best): PU Raki Rose 2/1 2 Plumpton 5 points win

One pt win 4pt place 0.5 ew dble: 3rd Ebony Jack 9/1 3.30 Plump, 1st Players Please 6/1 4.40 Wolves

Top rated shorties: Won Pietersen 5/4 2.10 W, 2nd Rafferty 4/5 3.10 W, won Maletton 6/4 2.50 Fakenham

Winning double, nap and next best racing tips

Yesterdays email didnt have any extra tips but I did ask if " you all took the hint and backed the two shorties yesterday for a profitable day?"

Pleased with yesterdays results, on singles alone the two winners returned 39.50 points profit and the double another 29.25 points profit. The winning horses were:

Best Bet: Josh You Are 4/1 4.45 Kempton 6 points win
Next best racing tip: Louphole 4/1 3.45 Kempton 5 points win, 1 pt double

Off to make todays racing selections - and decide if the top rated shorties are to be backed or layed for my email list.

Winning double racing tips

For Saturdays email I wrote

" I hope to start the day with a winner in the first at Lingfield, Johnstons Boscobel doubled up with Areyoutalkingtome later to pay for the rest of todays bets. Betfred is still showing Pietersen at 9s, mostly 5s and Racing Post forecast 3/1…very strange.

Best bet Saturday: Madison Du Berlais 7/4 3 Warwick 8 points win"

Very nice win double advised in the email and trebled up with my winning nap!

Bank boosting racing winners Friday

In fridays email alert I wrote "I fancy my three short priced selections today to keep the bank topped up and Buscador to add a ninth course win to his record.

Best bet: Finished Article 2/1 2 Wolverhampton 8 points win

Next best: Lambrini Legend 9/2 2.50 Huntingdon 5 Points win

One pt win 4pt place 0.5 ew dble: Buscador 20/1 3.30 Wolves, Millagros 7/1 4.30 Wolves

Buscador won very nicely as did Climate & Chopneyev - a feel a mega 4 timer coming soon!

Weekly tips round up

Bit up and down this week, started well with winning tips Monday and Tuesday but blank Wed & Thurs except for my private & email racing selections...Thank heavens for Schuh Shines win yesterday to cover the loss on the other woeful nags, the last one of the day just about summed it up when at the off he ran sideways into the rails instead of ahead up the course. Lets hope for better today

Thursday I wrote: shame Catterick has been abandoned but the weather here is really foul - I am only 15 minutes away - looks like a few weekend meetings may go the same way.

Both each way selections are best odds with Betfred today, as is one of my favourite horses Shuh Shine at Hereford, too short to be an official bet but I will be backing it.

Similar story Wednesday when I emailed;

Hope you all profited from the 10/3 winning nap yesterday. At first look at ratings for today I penciled in New York Oscar as my nap but the price is just silly and with two non runners I cannot see it drifting so no bet in that race for me although many businesses would love that sort of return. Closed shop I may back if I can find evens or better.

Winning Friday Nap

Not too shabby with my racing tips today, especially if, as I mentioned in one of my emails, you back my tips using stop at a winner method. The nap of the day, Cumbrian Knight, was the first chronologically and won nicely at 9/2.

In todays email I also wrote "From todays shorties I will be backing Cherri Fosfate myself but will not be taking the way too short 4/7 for Jass." I managed evens on Cherri and a tasty double with Cumbrian Knight.

Off to continue reading Mark Johnstons bio and another general book about gambling on racing from which I hope to incorporate a few more filters into my syste,ms.

BBC SPORT | | Horse Racing | Fallon will not ride in Kentucky: "
Very dissapointing that Kieren Fallon will miss the Breeders' Cup meeting after opting not to proceed with his application to ride in the US. This follows him being stopped from riding in the Arlington Million recently.

He has scored two wins from ten rides at this prestigeous horse racing meeting - Ouija Board in the 2004 Filly & Mare Turf and Islington, 2003 Filly & Mare Turf.

RaceHorseMagazine-Fallon Withdraws Attempt To Ride In Breeders' Cup: Fallon is still "allowed to ride in several other countries, including France and Ireland"

Guardian Unlimited Sport | Horse racing | Ron Cox's betting week

Who wants to be a millionaire? Winning the Scoop Six this week could be the best chance for small stakes horse raing punters but if last weeks results are anything to go by form books are out the window and long shot winners the order of the day.

Guardian Unlimited Sport | Horse racing |: "Channel 4's six televised races from York and Bangor on Saturday could make someone a millionaire. The Tote's multiple bet, the Scoop6, has not been won for the last five Saturdays and this weekend's pot is forecast to top £600,000. A lucky winner would then be chasing a bonus in the region of £400,000 a week later."

The article states that 50% of large pools like this are won by syndicates - I have not looked at the fields yet but lets hope they are large so that the syndicates cannot cover all combinations for profit and give us £2 a go punters a chance, even if it is a real outsiders chance.

Guardian | Horse racing | Sheikh snaps up bargain

The high cost of rivalry in the horse racing world....

Guardian Unlimited Sport | Horse racing | Sheikh snaps up bargain: "Sheikh Mohammed's decision to boycott the offspring of the Coolmore Stud's stallions has cramped his style somewhat at the bloodstock sales over the last 12 months, but he found a lot to like at Tattersalls yesterday, as the auctioneers opened their important October sale.
Lot 17, to be precise. The son of Pivotal, a half-brother to both George Washington, this year's 2,000 Guineas winner had been marked down as a possible sale-topper from the moment the catalogue was published, and less than an hour after business got underway, he was knocked down to John Ferguson, Sheikh Mohammed's bloodstock advisor, for 1.2m guineas."

But, oh, the high returns from stud fees..are these the real riches of horse racing?

"Two years ago, George Washington was the most expensive yearling sold at auction in Europe, when he made 1.15m guineas at the same sale. He is likely to be a Coolmore stallion this time next year, repaying his purchase price many times...."

The bet I would really love to win is the Tote Scoop 6, I know from experience that many tote scoop 6 slips only have the racecard numer and not the horses name which makes it a devil to check.

WTO Weighs In On Online Gambling - Forbes.com

All European businesses involved in online gambling in any way will welcome this move to curb the powers of the US to interfere in their trading...

WTO Weighs In On Online Gambling - Forbes.com: "Aggressive moves by the U.S. to thwart online sports betting within its borders may spark a broad trade dispute with Caribbean and European nations that provide homes to the $12 billion Internet gambling industry....

The BBC reported Tuesday that the WTO was setting up a committee to study Antigua's claims and has 90 days to report on the U.S.'s compliance with its earlier rulings. Members who fail to comply with WTO rulings face the possibility of sanctions, like higher tariffs on non-related items.

While casino gambling and state lotteries, even interstate lotteries such as Powerball and Mega Millions, are common in the United States, gambling is regulated at the state level. Federal laws, such as the Wire Act, prohibit interstate gambling. Online gambling, particularly sports betting, would fall under the prohibition.

But the laws have not kept individuals in the U.S. from opening accounts at online betting sites, which are legal in most other areas of the Western world."
