tripple alliance 1,040 Report post Posted May 8 OK here goes , I rate my chances at about 70% and my home work is a bit limited so race 9 Rockabury a place . A good draw and a fully experience jock must help , this horse was formerly in the north and showed promise , a nice big athletic type who has previously won 3 , by a good stallion who's progeny like wettish ground, his first up run for Myers was bold , carrying a big weight he just faded the last bit, $3.3 fixed tomorrow , I doubt it will be $3.30 tomorrow . Next R 10, Glorifilia , comment Say's luckless last time , I haven't watched the replay which is a mistake but it has won on the track from a limited career and has a very smart trainer so why not , this is possibly the weak part of my bet hence the 70% chance of success .

Trips. You are tipping horses saying 'why not ? Sounds like you treat this the same as your own health.. not impressed...to rate yourself 70 % on a whim makes me wonder. You must be a jammy individual in Punting and life generally....good on you but shame on you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a jammy individual in Punting and life generally....good on you but shame on you I rate the bets chance of success at around 70% its Realistic note the potential return , basically Rockabury 95% chance Glorifilia about 50% , Glorifilia is an up and comer this isn't a whim it's judgment and all punting has an element of risk that's why they call it gambling , as for my health I know very little about cancer that's the way I like it but those in charge of my health are the experts , I listen to them then I walk out the door and do as I'm told life's easier that way, no mental stress not bogged down with debatable detail , a golden rule for me for the first three years was stay away from Dr Google he would destroy me mentally and make me miserable , that hasn't happened .

Gruff 2,834 Report post Posted May 8 Experts they do their best given their restrictive parameters Yeah right, trial and error and no two people are created equal. Whatever blows your hair back. I actually like Glorafillias chances ahead of Rocabury but a case can be made for a few so good luck to you. Roughie ..Bespoke in Race 6. Lily must of been given quiet ride instructions first up. Expect better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Consolation sorry Trips i havnt found one I can back with 'Confidence yet.Be Patient Brother... I didn't Mind Bespokes run after being checked back to last on a dawdle..all 3 hampered finished last 3..I also didn't mind Glorifillias run and expect a form reversal, always seems to finish with more in the tank....You need to be more selective, surprised you are winning but hey lady luck can help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you were good and my father was the same.Thanks TAB () Problem here Triple is I wanted to see your thought process, the fact you jumped straight in and chose that meeting had alarm bells ringing early, the fact you failed (thats racing)isn't my concern but will be looking forward to your next selections...relax, it's not worth getting your back up over but need your best work me ol China Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend Family 195 Report post Posted May 10 You guys should just switch to sport as there are way too many variables in horse racing (130 in every race and Bill Benter the worlds best ever punter named them once but I can't remember half of them ......just agreed with him at the time and nothings changed). In sport you have far less variables and all you have to do accept the fact that your 'pay-dirt' will be a little less but your hit rate will go through the roof if you stick to the sport your good at and not wander off the beaten path. Hell its hard enough to pick a winner ....let alone deal with 130 variables as soon as they jump. FF .....just telling it like it is.....and good luck to you both going forward.

Gruff 2,834 Report post Posted yesterday at 09:26 AM Was going to label Full Noise at Te Rapa, luckily i missed out posting , the Horse looked fine and only Kennedys Ride cost it Top 3. Early Races at Te Rapa are Notorious for producing on pace inside runs yet he chose not to follow Bosson (on a firm market shift) got checked ran wide and gave room to a horse inside costing it Second... Very Surprised. Put Doyle on and get the Chocolates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
