From the wilds of deepest Norfolk, currently grappling within Kathleen’s wild embrace, I bring you my stormy Sunday nonsense, knowing that as a punter with lots to say, I’ll admit to very little punting acumen. As the old saying goes: ‘Empty vessels make the most noise’ but in writing my blog, I hope that the racket I make will have some resonance with you as I share my punting hopes and frustrations.
Today I’m taking a Quixotic tilt at three unfortunate beasts.
William Of York - 3.22 Carlisle 7/2 Win
I was deeply impressed by this one when he beat Hello Judge last time out after a protracted, thrilling duel up the Carlisle home straight. As you may know, I’ve been a big a big Hello Judge fan for some time, for his exceptional jumping ability. That day, after watching the race again, I had to concede that William Of York’s jumping matched him at every turn.
Today they reoppose and it’s a tough call but I felt that William seemed to have a little more up his sleeve that day and he’s my pick. I’ll cover my bet with a little r/Fcst.
My next is:
Conkwell Legend - 3.35 Exeter 11/4 win
I won’t forget this one’s unfortunate fall over the course earlier this season, after he’d taken it up three out and looked to have the race in hoof.
He’s back at Exeter on similar ground and looks value enough here to warrant a bet.
Lastly, I rely on another of my noted horse:
Breeze Of Wind - 3.57 Carlisle 9/2 Ew
I locked on to this one early doors this season after he was given the chance to prove his staying credentials. He’s carried on improving and won well last time out over 4m at Hexham. Yes he’s burden with a resulting weight hike but I’m not done with him yet and am pleased to see that he’s back able ew at the price.
So there you have it: three horses carrying my modest end- of - season stakes. I hope they provide me with some reward accompany the sport.
