December 31st

Been a year of ups & downs in the racing world with stars retiring the likes of Frankel & Kauto star who will always be remembered for their sheer determination & heart, then there's the other side to racing a side none of us like but sadly it happens we have lost a few & then got excited at the upcoming new younger prospects! I know my notebooks pretty full already for next year and who to watch where!!

Lets see if I can end the year on a good note although I am in a large enough profit for the year purely from each way betting, it would be nice if some of the longshots bring us a some winners for racings last day in the year 2012.

December 28th Longshots

Todays racing is pretty average with the Hvy going and continuous rain some fav's could be turned over by a big priced shocker or is it a shock!! that's what I look for who in the race if anyone could beat the fav, but never discount a worthy fav so will settle for a decent priced place & if it wins Bonus :)

Today's selections are Longshot e/w chance's as always small stakes advised 0.5 pt E/W

How many courses to study for on Boxing Day!! I've selected a few and gone for a few selections, obviously I have included the king George!  I have selected a decent value (based at time of posting) E/W chance followed by a longshot (outsider with best chance of placing).
Advised betting strategy E/W selection's 1pt e/w longshot's 0.5pts e/w

Kempton

12:50 E/W Rysbrak 4th
          Longshot - Kings Lad 3rd 14/1

13:25 E/W Coole River 3rd 3/1
          Longshot - Grove Pride  PU

14:00 Longshot - Molotov  4th

14:35 Great to see Punjabi out after so long could throw up a surprise but may well need the run!
Brilliant race this and a fair few very closely matched personally I can see Countrywide Flame 4th & Cinders & Ashes 5th fighting out for the Win, with Raya Star being the best value e/w shout 2nd 8/1 & the best outsider longshot chance goes to - Get Me Out Of Here. PU

15:10 Personal opinion Kauto Stone I would personally love to see win and follow in the Stars horseshoes
          E/W Junior 7th
          Longshot - Champion Court - ran a cracking race pure heart this horse ran his little heart out only yo fade at the last and finish a gallant 4th

15:45 I'm intrigued to see who will take the ride on lamps who has won or placed on testing ground in 8 out of his last 9 runs the extra furlong may well be what he needs for another win now. NR for lamps
          E/W Cloudy Bob 7th
          Longshot - Lightning Strike 6th




       

Ffos Las December 17th

Heavy Going

12:45 - everything points to Alborz won 6/4f being a worthy favourite, but it would'nt hurt to do a small e/w saver on Kozima Bay (last of 5) who is a mud lover, whether she likes 16f of heavy though is the ?

13:15 - enchanting smile e/w 2nd 12/1 
        Longshot - Drumadoon PU

13:45 - Bendant Won 7/2 will probably go off fav, last shot has an e/w chance, with captain scarlett 7th being the best outsider who loves hvy ground although he has'nt ran too well lately so fitness may be a concern.

14:14 - valley lad 6th & oscar gogo PU - both e/w
        Longshot - Gormanstown Cuckoo 7th

14:45 - Kaybeew - e/w PU

15:15 - Longshot - Scorched Son 1st 9/2
