Great stuff! I missed the opportunity of putting up a post on the hunter chase last Thursday due to the downtime and managed to fire in a nice winner (took 20s and it came in to 8s) in Java Point. He'd won at Ludlow before (2 or 3 times) and I find it's a course that some horses really love. Plus he had a good lad in the saddle in Freddie Philipson-Stow who is based with Will Biddick and going places.
Anyway I stuck him in as my selection on Gordon's Pointing Pointers website competition and it's whizzed me into the lead!

January is quickly becoming the most horrendous month I've ever had punting.
I backed Jony R (Down Royal 1.20) last night at 11/1 as I had priced him much much shorter. Had a chat with a mate who is much more shrewd when it comes to Irish racing and he basically convinced me it was not a good bet. In fear of continuing my poor start to the year, I cashed out. The horse has just gone off at 15/2 and won easily.
Lesson learned, never listen to anyone about anything.

I took 66/1 Home By The Lee Stayers Hurdle at mid day today, having a little ew on him at Gowran to fund my extravagance and bullock's notions, betting wise.

I'd make him a 200/1 shot.

At least I had an hour for feeling clever(ish) with myself!
My friend Paddy asked me today what I was backing in the big race. I replied that I didn’t know yet but that my methodology given the extreme conditions would be to start with the lowest weighted horse and work upwards. The first horse I thought had a plausible chance would be the bet.
He replied that in that case I might land on Better Times Ahead.
I replied that given the change in Cromwell stable fortunes I would go for Now Is The Hour. It was close between the pair, but the method gave us the exacta.
