    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Nothing much to glean from those two Stratford races on Sunday so weather permitting, it will be feet up in the garden all day. If anyone is bothering there, i thought Bridget Mary was the one to beat in the 2.35 race. And in the 4.05, the money will obviously come for Iorens and he has to go...

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    I dont mate. Like i said earlier, i dont use them but barjon says that Nag Me are the earliest so i would give them a bash. I'm sat here watching for tomorrows prices coming out for a race at Bangor and hopefully someone will go up soon. So as you say, getting notification at 5 or 6pm is of no...

    I do like irishracing.com A very useful site.

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Its a useful feature mate along with the various trackers that are around. But for people like myself and a few other that i know who do similar to me. the timing is wrong. I am currently doing a couple of races at Stratford for Sunday and i will know in a couple of hours time if there is a bet...

    Nothing could be simpler mate. Just go to a race, any race, click on the trainers name, and then scroll down and click on "entries" and hey presto. :)

    Good stuff chaumi and keep it coming. You are in no way hijacking. It is all relevant and as they used to say on the BT advert many years ago, "Its good to talk". To be honest, i would never pay for a subscription to anything horse racing related. Never have done, never will do. Everything we...

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    A "dark" horse that was in my list is entered at Hexham on Tuesday but is not so dark now. The horse is called Batman For Ever and he is trained by Stuart Coltherd. He had shown very little in his two races for him although there was some improvement on his latest run and he was nibbled at in...

    One tip i would give you, and other lads and lasses on here might add some of their own, is when you are watching "your" trainers and/or the specific horses, ALWAYS keep an eye on the entries and check every day. You'd be amazed what it can tell you. There are so many examples from the past that...

    If its the "gamble" side of things you are looking at, the ones as you put it that have drastically shortened, then its the smaller trainers you need to be focusing on. The ones who NEED to do it to survive. And there are plenty out there. One trainer up north who knows the time of day is Grant...

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    I very much doubt you will find the sort of information you are looking for on "Horseracebase" (Whatever that is. I assume it is some sort of stat site). I have a list of trainers who i watch very closely, some more closely than others, and can gauge with some success when the "time", the day...

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Bourke actually has two in the race and they are both not without chance. But not enough to tempt me in the slightest to get involved. Safe to say that he went for it last night with I Doubt That who looks the proverbial "job" horse. I have no doubt whatsoever that he will recoup his losses...

    Are you talking Game Beaaa ? That was just mentioned in conjunction with Daragh Bourke, the trainer of I Doubt That. Game Beaaa was a lovely touch at Market Rasen last year.

    Matched at 60 pre race mate. I saw it and tried to get money matched at 46 upwards but nobody was playing ball. Plenty of money to be made that way. Not to worry, there is always tomorrow. Well not for me actually :) but perhaps Saturdays decs will have a lurker.

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Well this one isnt a dark horse any more. Every man and his dog know about it now. Looks like a better showing was expected but to be fair, it wasnt really settling. They will get their money back one day but probably not at the sort of price i play at.

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Good stuff chaumi and thanks. I see it is out to 20's now but i am in no way tempted. That could mean that today is not the day and it could also mean they are just waiting and waiting. I have a feeling it is the former but only time will tell. But my eyes will be glued to the horse when the...

    My "Dark Horses" to watch.

    Its on the drift now and out to 14/1 with one fraudster as i type. But with a stable like this, it doesnt mean anything at this moment in time. They could just be biding their time before diving in. Only time will tell. No bet for me though. I thought there were four or five with a chance but...

    The worlds worst bookie

    Back in my working days, we, along with a few other bookmakers, would accommodate the owners to whatever bet they wanted. We knew what their usual stake was and were more than happy to lay them and at prices that had maybe already gone. And we would lay them the fractions as well. And because...

    So, opens at 12/1 and is cut to 15/2 within 2 minutes. Not for me. Have a good night all.
