Well, it had to happen. Today was a total washout, nothing even close to finishing in the frame, let alone winning. Didn't have time to keep a running track, but fortunately enough in the initial list turned out to be unbackable to limit the damage. Final total -8 on the day. So, that makes...

I forgot, some of you are just too young :-)

Nice win, and 15.8 on the exchange.

Not sure what you mean, Jay. But that wouldn't be heading in the right direction.

Chaumi comes from Chaumiere. A bragging prize for the first person to explain. But your associative skills are second to none, Dan. I'll take that with great delight.

Aye. Those. And many other factors besides.

Ah, there's very little 'studying', GC. As in what anyone might consider as 'traditional form studying'. I'd say the bottom line is a substantial part of it is instinct born of betting in, watching, and knowing the results of (tens of) thousands of races. Maybe hundreds of thousands, I'd have...

Total running on to 6th March : +127.6 After yesterday's excitement, it's not easy to see where a winner will come from today. Suspect the best chances might come from Dubai, if it's on, but maybe one of the others can spring a mild surprise. Not hard to see a potential blank day all round, and...

Not a million miles (well, actually less than about 3 inches) off a 250-1 winner today. Super exciting finish, the win was potentially on throughout the final two furlongs. A protracted adrenaline release, to be sure. Day summary: Francisco 1.53 Ling Not big enough, no bet. Maybe...

I could see the case for Moretons. Personally, I'm always dubious about anything on a stable move first run. Came in from around 100 to 60 over the last 5 mins pre-race and, I would say, ran promisingly front rank until the others got away from 2f out. Let's not forget this one. Next time...

Running total going into 5th March : +109.6 First pass on today's runners. I can name a dead cert today: following this list blindly is extremely unlikely to result in a clean closing line. Many of these will need much deeper consideration race-by-race. Having said that, one or two look...

You can't ask for much more than the chance to go to bed chuckling. Thank you, Mister Davies

Updates: Several to watch 11.55 Le Mans Narrowed this down to two and the more I looked the more confidence grew, such that I ended up breaking a rule and betting single figures. Stupid boy, Chaumi. But it paid off. Couldn't split the two with a mild preference for the A Fabre runner, both...

Running total for March to level stakes +42.8 I don't bet level stakes. Nor percentages, progressives, or anything like that. Stakes vary depending on several/multiple factors, no hard and fast formula. This level stakes tracking is just an interesting exercise to see whether bank size at...

Diamond Kal/Courageous Cleo 1.55 Leopardstown May have enough to get in the places, hard to tell if they'll be big enough to risk Diamond Kal got the 4th, but only around 4 for 4 places. Cleo went off around 13 for 4 places. No bet there, decided Kal was much more likely of the two. But...
