Lockinge

I was a bit concerned that Farrh tended not to win but he was taking on Frankel and I don’t see many 1s next to Cityscape’s name either. I reckon whichever of these two turns up fittest on the day will win but the 5/1 on offer about Farrh is screaming value.

Yes, I had already taken the 5/1 early.

Notwithstanding the fact that the main rivals didn't run their race, that was still pretty impressive from Farhh as I thought he was keen enough early and was on the pace too.

About todays performance
It was not nothing new no form but still show some positivies for this season, especially the atittude and how well he left the stalls.


It looks they are going to the prince of wales.
 
Cityscape and Trumpet Major were beaten at halfway . D of War all hype .

Frankel boosted yet again !
 
Impressive win, though with his main market rivals missing or falling in holes, it's probably just another sub-standard Lockinge. Surprised how well Farhh travelled though, and maybe he has improved a little from last year.

you got some lovely chestnuts you wheel out T;)

only value is a winner...a beaut

i guess you would be happy taking 6/4 about horses that only win 25% of the time then?..you could say you have lots of winners..which you would have for sure..but no profit

one of my other favourite chestnuts is..time's only important in jail

these statements take me back to smokey bookies in the late 70's when old lads used to trot em out regularly;)

I'd be delighted to take 6/4 about a winner even if it was the only race he won in a 100 tries mate as there's no horse on the planet who goes off at 6/4 every time he runs.

If I think a horse is truly 6/4 today that doesn't mean he's a 6/4 to me the next.

Anyone can do sums and say what you are saying that does not make an 8/1 shot good value unless he wins 2 races eg from every 8 he runs in but there's absolutely no guarantee he's going to do that.

People who bet like that belong in casinos imo
