Horses I Got Wrong & Right

Right
Jezki
Vautour

Wrong
Everything after Tuesday :(
I have a sneaky feeling I was unlucky in backing Djakadam and probably the same with Briar Hill too, but we'll never know. I think Djakadam will prove to be really classy.
 
With the worst week I've ever had up there in over 20 years I got everything wrong!!

Grasshopper....I was hanging all weekend, shivering, shaking, sweating, drinking pint upon pint of water without passing any of it.
 
Right,
The Fly
The County winner (season plot), and the 2nd.

Wrong,
Vautour (Not sure how I managed to talk myself out of this one as I love the horse).
Felix (though adamant he would have won the Arkle).
Double Ross / Rajdhani Express (both placed). Both ran way above I expected.
SDG (Thought he would find one too good).

Unlucky,
Southfield Theatre
Claret Cloak

Thought I'd nailed the forecast with Diakali too. There's not too many better feelings at the Festival, than picking the winner of the County.

Blatant after-timing (although not a bet you'd advertise beforehand) but I managed to land the tricast in the county Grassy. Picked 4, first 3 home and Cheltenian. 0.75c stake. Erased 3 days losses and some.

Sweet. :cool:
 
Right

Wonderful Charm
Backed this fella early doors for the RSA but the owner was always keen on the JLT. Never had the pace for the latter but staying on at the end

Ballycasey
Told my mate this one wouldn't stay 3m at Cheltenham and he didn't

Fingal Bay
Would have won cosily IMO but for clattering the last

Wrong

Sire de Grugy
Had a sniff at 16s after the Tingle Creek but didn't think he'd act on the course/ground so never topped up

Bobs Worth
Believed NJH when he said this horse was much better on good ground

Virtually every other horse

Carlingford Lough-gave him no chance

Wrong
Bobs Worth
Nearly everything on Tuesday & Wednesday.I wanted to go to bed after the bumper.

Horses I fancied all along but deserted
Jezki
Holywell -not only deserted him but place laid him at 1/2.
 
...in fact, I'll start with it tomorrow. I find erasing huge chunks of my life quite easy these days [worryingly].
 
Too many to put up for right.

As for being wrong. Some french thing. Can't even say it let alone spell it.
 
Not done too much wrong so far.....set out with the idea to cover my ass if either Faugheen Sprinter Sacre or Peace and Co won

Didn't have quite enough to on Faugheen but a place lay on Jezki fixed that...plus I backed Ruby to ride the treble and that not only covered my bets on SS and Peace and co but also
covered my bets on Windsor Park 12 and MaFilliule 11.5

Woke up after a poor nights sleep all excited to see SS run

Had all my other bets lines up but head was def up my ar$se................not ust the money I stood to win but seeing him back on course.......gut told me it wouldn't happen but still hoped it would

Windsor Park ended up a major bet for me because I backed him again and again.........Pissed up so I was indestructible

Stuck another bet on King Palace when I already had enough on (Greedy) not too much harm done I just wasn't prepared to risk too much.
but brought me back down to earth..............originally Don Poli was going to be a banker for me........no idea why I never backed him instead......stupidity comes to mind.

Sprinter Sacre over and done with took it on the chin time to move on......could have been a lot worse can't win them all.

Attitude: hate that Dodging Bullets overrated piece of manure.was shouting for Somersby all the way up the run in.

Had already backed Duke of Lucca for small money had a bigger bet on some French Dude......only watched the end of the race BORING

Had my 5 ew bets earlier in the day thought about having a bit more on Box Office thankfully never.

THEN CAME THE FCUK UP THAT WASNT A FCUK UP

I had just about had enough for the day and decided to turn my bot off and catch up with some work I needed done

At the very last minute I notice on Oddschecker the money is pouring on Pipes horse in the bumper who I had really fancied.

Fook it jumps on at the very last minute has *** quid on he wins................all chuffed and happy as a pig in **** turn the racing off had a great day.

an hour or so later I go back on might have a few quid on the sand thinks me..........my account is way over what I thought it should be??

Turns out I thought in my rush to get on I had cancelled an unmatched bet but it was actually matched and I had backed the Pipe horse twice;) The luck is def in long may it continue

Now I could rest on what I have won and come out miles in front no matter what........BUT this is Cheltenham and it wouldn't be without at least one major boo boo

Finding something else to get stuck into is the problem
