two seconds yesterday so no return,in the 4.55 galway going with holeinthewall bar @ 7/1 for 2 points e/w(3pp/1/5/365)this is michael hourigans only runner here and has barry geraghty booked for the first time today,which to me is a big hint given the connections.3rd last time out in galway,should run well & will be very surprised if this one doesn't go off at a much shorter price.

one last one for me in galway,killcara boy @ 12/1(4pp/1/4/gen) looks a bit big in the 6.55, recent hurdle form looks decent including a win in killarney on good to firm(had another ambition in 3rd that day)need to transfer that form to the bigger jumps but reckon there's worse 12/1 shots out there.give him a 2 pointer e/w at the odds

Both horses ran well yesterday with holeinthewall bar finishing 2nd and the unlucky killcara boy finishing 3rd for a return of 12.80 bringing the bank to 351.22.
just two bets for me today again in galway,bob lingo @ 7/4 looks a little big in the 6.30 for a 2 point win,in the 7.00 taking a chance on muzak @ 11/2 for 2 points e/w (3pp/1/5/wh)for a total of 6 out with the bank standing at 345.22Mattie McGrath wanna-be

yup potting away nicely now alright,no joy from bob yesterday but muzak won for a return of 17.20 points bringing the bank to 362.42.ended up having a look at the 2 yo stakes which is off in doncaster at 2.40 with no less than 21 runners left,just the 7 years to look back at in this and sticking with the top rated seems the way to go,but are pretty much priced accordingly and ended up having a pop at tobougg happy @ 16/1,she finished a well beaten 6th in the yearling stakes in york but just a 2 lengths behind the now rated 101 thunder strike.the going here is good/soft according to the bha and with most of the market leaders best form on good/firm,she might have something to aim at,tbh she could get flogged out the gate here but with some(but not all)books paying 1/4 the odds 4 places give her a spin with pp @ 16s for 2 points e/w.

no good yesterday when a 100/1 shot put everything else back in its box.
sticking a point e/w on ambiance @ 11/2 in the first in doncaster(3pp/1/4/bs).the molecomb stakes is a handy pointer in this over the years(finish 3rd when hampered)should be ok with todays going.
in the doncaster cup which is off at 2.40,times up @ 5/2 (gen) ticks most boxes of all the runners so good for a 2 point win
in the 6.15 which is a maiden over 7 furlongs,danseur de feu @ 11/2 (3pp/1/5/cl) for a point e/w.only prendergast trained horse and also mcDonoghs only ride at the meeting,8th start tho, so a touch of a roll the dice about it.
total of 6 out the gap with the bank now standing at 352.42Mattie McGrath wanna-be
Comment

only result today was times up winning at 3/1 so a return of 8 points.
going for a few in donny with Ajjaadd @ 14/1 in the portland handicap(off 2.40) for 2 points e/w,some books are paying 5 places @ 1/4 the odds so obv. i'll stick with those who are which include boyles and powers.
robbing one from rji in the st.ledger (off 3.50)and sticking 2 points e/w on secret number @ 16/1 (3pp/1/4/bs)
bank remains at 352.42Mattie McGrath wanna-be

nothing today,going for a few raiders from across the irish sea in the curragh tomorrow,in the national stakes going with toormore @ 2/1 for a 3 point win,ticks every box in the book and the form got a handy boost with outstrip winning the champagne stakes by 3 lengths today in donny,acts on good/soft if the rain comes.
in the ledger most firms now betting with galileo rock excluded,ahzeemah @ 6/1 for 2 points e/w (3pp/14/sb),again ticks most boxes and never runs a bad one(only outside the top 3 a few times from 17 runs)again a form boost with times up winning the doncaster cup,with the bank now standing at 345.42Mattie McGrath wanna-be
Comment

toormore won well but with a rule 4 of 10c for a return of 8.4,ahzeemah was a well beaten 2nd for a return of 5 bringing the bank to 358.82.just the one tomorrow in listowel, in the nursery(off at 5.15) ruler of france @ 6/1 is where the dart landed for 2 points e/w(3pp/1/5/pp),held lady ultra in gowran last time and that form was well franked today in the curragh worth a pop at the odds imo.

no good yesterday,going to give maggie dalton another spin in the 4.40 listowel @ 8/1(drifting) for 2 points e/w (3pp/1/4/pp).a 2.2 length 4th behind jazz girl(rated 82) last time out in a 50k hcp,(shalaman who was 2nd that day,worth a look here on friday)jazz girl went on to win a 10k roscommon well before getting to within 5 lengths of missunited in a listed in galway and is now rated 97.off 89 again for this and has the first time tongue strap,could be ok with the soft going (ran 3rd on yeilding in sligo/dam won on soft)& bolger won this last year with the bank standing at 250.82Mattie McGrath wanna-be

no joy with maggie yesterday,didn't seem to handle the going.did a point trixie with eye of the storm @ 6/5 (325 listowel),chute hall @ 7/2 (6.10 listowel) & Penitent @ 6/4 (3.55 sandown)
in the kerry national(off 5.10) quantitativeeasing @ 7/1 with paddy powers,who are the only firm paying 5 places for 2 points e/w & flameseeker @ 9/1 (3pp/1/4/sj)in the 4.00 listowel for a point e/w
bank 340.82Mattie McGrath wanna-be
Comment

nothing from quantitativeeasing & flameseeker,got 2 up in the trixie with Penitent & eye of the storm winning,unfortunately chute hall who was hammered off the boards got no run in the race so just a return of 5.5 points
going for 3 in listowel again today with Fulminata @ 15/8 in the 3.35,to me this looks like a penalty kick after the way she won on monday and good for a 3 pointer.
in the 4.35 going with killcara boy @ 12/1 for a point e/w,(3pp/1/5/cl)looked a little unlucky in galway last time when hitting the 3rd last a right clatter but that was on good/firm but did win a hcp hurdle here a few years ago on heavy & trainer won this 2 years ago.
in the 5.35 going with Victrix Gale @ 4/1 for 2 points e/w(4pp/1/4/bv),2nd last year could go one better for the local connections(didnt get in to the kerry national)
and after all that the bank is now standing at 337.32Mattie McGrath wanna-be
Comment
-
Fulminata won @ 5/2 for a return of 10.5 points,Victrix Gale finished 3rd for a return of 4 points(keep an eye to this one) & killcara boy was a nr so bet returned of 2 points with the bank now standing at 353.82.
just a 2 point double for me again in listowel with hail shower in the first,going to let the price go on her,seems plenty of fluff for Snakes And Ladders (into 2/1 from 7/2 with some firms) going to play the ould "back what you see,not what you hear"card in this one,in the 5.45 Diplomat @ 6/4 and taking the price,with the bank standing at 351.82Mattie McGrath wanna-be

zippo yesterday with both horses finishing well back,in the ayr gold gold a few for small stakes with gabriels lad @ 12/1 & spinatrix @ 25/1 for a point e/w on each with most books at this stage paying 5 places at 1/4 the odds.in the 3.30 newbury maarek for a point win @ 7/1 with the bank now standing at 346.82Mattie McGrath wanna-be

no joy from dorothy parker,but time for action won for a return of 8.6 points bringing the bank to 364.92,stuck a 2 point win on royal moll @ 6/4 in the 3.45 ballinrobe with powers,its a bit of a penalty kick about her to win this as trainer(willie mullins) reports that shes had a few "niggly problems" but also said she should come on for the run.

nothing at all yesterday,got a good run from glasgow who were in control only to leak 2 converted tries in the last 7 min. to win by just 7 points.had a good look at the cambridgeshire which is off at 3.50 newmarket and came up with a short list of code Of honor,gabrial the great,tha'ir,sam sharp(scored well but age is a big neg.) & tres coronas.ended up going with gabrial the great @ 25/1 (5pp/1/4/sj) & tha'ir @ 25/1 (5pp/1/4/sj).over the years the zetland gold cup is a pointer in this race and can race with the pace,on the other hand tha'ir came out best in the win adv/live odds so could be a little value at the price.gave them a little poke of 2 points e/w on both with the bank standing at 344.17Mattie McGrath wanna-be

uggh,missed with the 2 darts yesterday,least 2 of the short list got placed the best i can take out of it.going for a punt on Joe Eile in the 3.45 @ 20/1,(4pp/1/4/pp)might be a little value to be got with last years race in mind,the bank now standing at 340.17Last edited by amberleaf; 29-09-13, 10:14.Mattie McGrath wanna-be

june - had 42 bets,investing 94 points,returning 156.25 for a profit of 62.25

over all a total of 203 bets with 507.75 invested over the log with a return of 650.67 for a profit of 142.92 which is pretty good as far as i can tell,but going back to the well a little too often,anyways onwards to october,with the bank standing at 342.92Last edited by amberleaf; 01-10-13, 09:41.Mattie McGrath wanna-be

no good again yesterday with back in 3rd.
spent a while taking apart the challenge cup which is off at 3.50 ascot (sat) and ended up with a short list of 3,Wentworth @ 8/1 came out on top with Sirius Prospect @ 12/1 scoring just behind,the most interesting one was Royal Rock @ 33/1 which scored 3rd best and almost 33% better than Loving Spirit who's best price @ 10/1 ended up sticking a point e/w on Sirius Prospect @ 12/1 (4pp/1/4/sj)(has a class 1 over 7 furlongs on soft in the bag)and a point e/w on Royal Rock @ 33/1 (4pp/1/4/sj) might be a little value there.
in the prix de l'Arc de triomphe,going with al kazeem @ 22/1(3pp/1/4/sj) to get the job done from the carpark,unbeaten in right handed tracks this year and has won a g1 by a decent distance and Novellist @ 5/1 (4pp/1/4/365) for a punt of a point e/w on both with the bank now standing at 330.92Mattie McGrath wanna-be

nothing from the challenge cup,Novellist was a nr but lost the stake as it was antepost,al kazeem finished 6th.here's a handy stat for the prix de l'Arc de triomphe,13 from the last 15 winners had won a g1 by 2 lengths or more that year,4 horses matched that stat this year,novellist,al kazeem,the fugue & treve.novellist & the fugue didn't run which left treve & al kazeem,so la cunt to you novellist,on a good note Hot Streak won @ 9/2 so a return of 11 points with the bank now 339.92Mattie McGrath wanna-be
