Will pay the heating bill thread

I presume Exeter has no chance of being on tomorrow? There is one I really want to bet and the oil tank is starting to creak.
 
Exeter will hold a raceday inspection at 8am.

Yellow weather warnings for wind and snow are in place from tonight into raceday.

Isn't the storm coming in the south west or something?

If so, they'll cop for all of it - there's two races that interest me, but I haven't bothered looking as yet.

January is a fantastic month to take up other hobbies.
 
Is the oil tank not now overflowing Slim following the sudden importation of what was left in The Marinera? I heard that the Navy Seals in control had berthed it under cover of darkness somewhere in the Emerald Isle and off loaded the remainder for distribution along the lines of a Whisky Galore windfall, (or should that be Whiskey Galore) ahead of setting out again looking for Greenland.

This thread really is the gift that keeps on giving….

Here is a 6 step plan for you to put the pieces together.

Look at the explanation they needed to give at Stratford 3 runs ago and what they did next.


Look at the next run after that. An improvement?


Now watch back the video of his last run. Should the horse have won if not for veering across the track? Is this s winner with only a 1lb penalty?

Go back and look at the form of this run and the ratings of the horse in behind. Was the 117 he was allocated for this win, just one year ago, a fair reflection of his ability?


Now look at his mark today, mix in all your learnings from the above steps and compare your conclusion with the prices available.

And then ask yourself, should you ever question me again.

Don’t be so fragile, people are allowed to ask questions on a forum. Good luck 😎😂
 
I don't fancy that one at all so well done if it wins, I can't say I'd fancy any really but if I had to then Iris Des Issards comes top for me.
 
While I applaud Slim for his "Six Plan Step" (and it's absolutely the way I would look at a race) not everyone on here does know how to analyse a race or runner to that extent. That's why several people come on here (and other forums) to learn from those who dive just that bit deeper.

It's no different to me trying to teach people how to paddock pick although I think I need to learn how to explain my thoughts better!

Share the knowledge, feel the love! :love: :cool:

My record with 'paddock picking' has ended up in court one time too many to make me a good judge.

Regardless, it's got a hell of a lot going for it. This is the type of a horse you have a good go at today and then forget it forever more either way.

Last time I tried to stick up for Slim I copped a bollocking off him for intervening uninvited, so I'll say no more beyond: "I hear you loud and clear, reet!"

It's possible it was just you.

I've topped up at 13/2 e/w 4 places. There's a lump in my account with Wolverhampton off.
 
Whether you think it wins or not, if a pro punter and a proven judge says he’s betting one, you take note of the horse.

Better to judge a judge. Good luck with your bet, hopefully the blanket cupboard isn’t getting emptied tonight and ya can pay your heating bill.

Couldn’t agree more. Win, place or lose, this as well as (for example) Jinny’s paddock picking protocols are very generous insights and gifts to all here. Irrespective of the outcome, it’s a compelling reason I visit consistently. To learn and to be taught freely is a privilege.

I'm a punter. You don't get any extra accreditation for doing lots of it.
