I think I might have picked the wrong week to start the Daily Podcast.
It has been awful racing this week and I made a point of telling my subscribed members in their morning Newsletter that I was loathe to put the Daily Podcast out on social media yesterday, because I knew how poor the racing was and I was spot on!
I ended up posting it on Facebook 20 minutes before the first of the FOUR FOR FUN went to post, didn’t bother telling our WhatsApp group it was there and it’s very much the same today….if not worse…probably worse.
Subscribed members may have had some joy with GLENDOWN, who was a mover 18/1 > 10/1, hit 11/1, then got punted into 9/1 and won easily.
We have four meetings, one of which is Racing League nonsense (Chepstow), two of which are purely on for holidaymakers at Yarmouth and Brighton, five of the six races on the east coast Class 6, on the south coast three Class 6, an apprentice race, a race confined to horses that have not won a race in 2024, another confined to horses that have not won more than one race…ever….Yarmouth has just 33 horses going racing, Brighton just 42 and the one glimmer of light is Sandown….but they offered me just two races to consider for Rating, one of which is now down to six runners, four of which are 3-y-o’s, and the last race on the card a Class 5 that exceeds the maximum field size for that Class, for Rating
I pointed this out to Sean during the afternoon and he just laughed, said, “and it’s the Shergar Cup at the weekend!”.
It’s simply indicative of the week following a Festival of racing….it was the same after Royal Ascot….and I’m taking things very easy this week.
The only thing I have spotted as being a flash of light has been the BF’s in the OMMS section….last two days, six were listed, producing four winners, two more placing.
So, no Rated races but that gives me more time to follow the markets. Doing that produced good results a few of days ago. Whether we see the same again today, we’ll find out later.
My biggest problem has been trying to work with that Brighton card. Only one runner had seen support there and that has now eased a fraction. You can have that one for nothing….4-00 – OPEN SECRET – 15/8 > 11/10 > 5/4
I’m not even looking at Chepstow, a Premier meeting, run under the farce of the Racing League banner. Racing is not now, nor will it ever be a team sport. How can people bet on it when they have no idea what team instructions are being given? It could well be like Formula 1, when a horse could be going to win but the jockey has been instructed to let someone else in so that points scored improve the chances of winning the league? Not saying it ever does happen, but I’ll not take a chance.
So what am I going to offer you today?
It is extremely light today and I have genuinely struggled to find much of anything I would consider betting myself.
I have continued watching the markets since I sent subscribed members my update Newsletter and note a move for:
BEECHDALE (Sandown 6-45) 16/1 > 7/1
RAIMUNDA (Sandown 8-15) 25/1 > 9/1
A small 20/80 each might produce a penny or two of profit.
