7:15 Bath - JLow. 6/1- 2 points.

Absolutely magnificent man, Reet! 20/1 too. Never in doubt.

I’m tuning into these races, Hobbits, just to cheer your horse on! “On” to lose, of course. Loved the O’Brien horse losing in the 1:50 at Donny.

Oh well - great start 🙄. In fact, I’m not sure any of the jocks rode a bad race. Universal Story might have been a bit closer, but I don’t think he was good enough to win. - 3 points.

Thank you, Ian. Yes, the greater variance in ability in the lower ranks, is my exploitable angle.

Thanks, Jinny, and I knew your input would be spot-on! I must admit this is one of my shortcuts-to-riches schemes (similar to the backing of high numbers in combis at Newcastle!); so, I don’t dwell too much on the detail. The bare, standout numbers are what draw me in - we then go into battle...

Thanks, Ian. I’ll run the thread until it runs out of steam, but your contributions will always be welcome.

As some of you will know, I have a theory that you back the jockey, not the horse, in an amateur jockeys’ race. The more experienced the jockey, the greater their edge over competing rivals. And I don’t think this is always priced in with the bookies. You won’t come across an amateur jockey...

A late NR. Is there a story, Slim? There’s gotta be a story!

I’m doing the high numbers thing in combi forecasts, for the first three 5f-7f races at Newcastle tonight. Let’s see how we get on.

5/1 win. There’s definitely an angle.

The 1:45 is a ladies’ amateur race. On the basis that you back the jockey and not the horse in an amateur race, I am backing Revich and Walsingham. Neither of their jockeys has ridden a winner in the past two weeks, but these two have had the most rides (only 4 and 5 in the past 14 days). On...

I think Slim just told barjon to f%*& off his own thread.

I’ll tell you what I have been watching - the beeb drama series from the 70s, ‘The Brothers’. Absolutely riveting! Well, ok, “habit-forming”, if you must! And we’re nearly at the end - all 92 episodes, over six series. Great cast, too. Colin Baker, former Dr Who, plays heartless and soulless...

Beautiful burst of mid-race acceleration! Left them all flat-footed. Fierceness is my new favourite horse.

Nice touch again, Ian - thank you! You know your American racing too, marvellous.

You and Dessie are my Saturday handicap people. Slim rules midweek if he has a cert. I even do my own homework sometimes, honest!

Excellent work, Ian. And thank you ☺️. I was on at 35/1.

Honesty delivered with a baseball bat. Love it.
