Sunday

Finally got a day off not exactly the day off I was hoping for lol!!

Started last night watching match of the day was then gonna watch Harpers Island and fell asleep sometime during match of the day and missed Harpers Island so watched that in bed on the iplayer this morning then got upto look at the days racing got ready to go out do weekly shop and go to bookies to watch some races to find when I go outside the few sheep I have where I live have escaped and one is rather ill so then had to spend a hour so fuckin about with them!! RAAAA theyre not in my good books!

Anyway after that was all sorted it was just a quiet day down the bookies with the usual crowd and banter theres nothing better on a sunday afternoon than a laugh with the boys down there!

As far as the racing has gone past few days had a few big bets go down the swanny and more proof that I really should avoid claimers/sellers even if it looks like a horse has got in at a low weight eg Diamond Laura on saturday night kempton massive shock!

STICK TO HANDICAPS!!!

Anyway a few nice bets tomorrow hopefully

Good luck

Chris

Tues/Wed/Thurs

Sorry again been a mad week with work dictacting little time in front of the pc with feet up, still ploughin and pull land apart and still praying for some rain!

As for betting turfs bets are going extremely well considering the time of year when things usually start to decline. As for the all weather things are quite so rosy and it may just be that form lines are stretched and weak at the moment and maybe more to come in the months to come!

An added bonus ive had this week is that I can now get on early prices rather than SP as now have a rather smart phone with speedy internet on it which should improve our profit margins!

Good luck with a nice few days of racing from Ascot this weekend!

Monday

Another dry day and the need for rain is getting pretty desperate now and I shouldnt think the scottish are saying the opposite!

Spent the day ploughing with a press which has to be the most annoying bit of kit ever if it happens to drop off in wrong place you cant pick it up next time and becomes extremely frustrating and I had to keep the pace on as boss has decided to drill straight behind the plough as we have let out other fields get far to dry and cannot get them down into a seed bed now!

As far as bets went today was bit hit and miss but luckily the hits were 1 big and 1 small the biggy was shy glance at hamilton who won nicely at 33/1 which looks a huge price for a horse running of its last winning mark only 4-5 starts ago and since been running on unsuitable conditions but anyway at 33/1 I dont mind if it was over priced lol!

Also milton of campsie also won nicely at 13/8 which was handy to just boost up the few losses.

Good luck

Chris

Short Update

Apologies for the lack of updates this week but my phone line went down at start of week and was fixed quickly but for some reason it messed my internet connection up for 5 days making dial up fast and was extremely hard work doing my research so updates were unlikely.

In brief I have struggled with the all weather this week especially at Wolverhampton until last night where things did pick up a bit. As far as turf goes I have had a brilliant run of things this week and hope that can continue to the end of the season. I had a quick work out of my ROI since starting my website and it stands at an impressive 19% which I am more than happy with and long may that continue and just shows hard work does pay off.

As far as personal life goes little to report this week just extremely busy at work ploughing and cultivating although desperate now for some rain to freshen our grass up for the autmun and also give the stubble turnips a much needed drink.

As far as social life done very little was able to spend an evening down the pub on wednesday catching up with a few friends who havnt seen for a long while and watch the footy, and as for women and love life well you know those ones that mess with ya head well I certainly seem to be picking them lately but thats a story for another day!!

Good luck

Chris

Wednesday/Thursday

Wednesday started fairly well got out of the yard after feeding to finish ploughing my field only to get a call hour or so later saying that the mechanics were coming to put new oil seals in the wheels fair enough. Trouble was when they started taking the wheel apart they found a lot more problems so she was out of action for the day so then had to get on boss's newer tractor and finish his job trouble is its suppose to be the newest most comfiest tractor but its is so fuckin uncomfortable its unreal!! But atleast we finished early and home to watch the footy and were going to SA come on boys!!

As far as horses did well on turf with Akhenthan winning at 10/1 and funday at 4/1 and the tatling ran his usual solid race at 5/1 for 3rd!

All weather in the evening went well as well with Miss minnies sticking out most and could be interesting on Sat night if she remains entered for 1 of the 2 she is entered in!

Today was much the same my tractor stil sitting in workshop in pieces so back on boss's just cultivating rather boring mundane day to be honest when 6 oclock hit home and hit a corner I called it a day!

Its gotta be said Radio 1 playlist really can be very repetetive!! Come on guys lets play Esmee Denters!! Flippin love that song!!

As for bets quieter day with Five cents winning on promise I noticed last time out otherwise other turf bets were disappointing Sesenta just looked totally out classed sadly and Theatre street just couldnt cope with the rise in handicap.

All weather went well again, with come on buckers and Rose row both winning well for us.

Tuesday

Nice day at work to be honest didnt pick up a single dead turkey which was pleasing and then just had to pull my breast back round on me plough and put a new shear bolt in. Then off to plough for the day didnt quite go to plan with something wobbling loose over night making the plough dig rather deep going up the field and shallow going back down so had to call boss to help assisst in getting it level btu we got there and he buggered off and I cracked on for the day doing nearly 20 acres!

As for racing today was little disappointing on turf with general tufto looking a little tired and pegasus again ran ok but could only manage 4th.

As for the one race I played on the all weather was ok with Regeneration a non runner just left me playing with Santefisio who looked to piss his opportunity up when breaking badly but showed great turn of foot to finish strongly and could still be well treated in coming weeks, as for buxton was heavily backed but just never got into it!

But luckily scrapped back some losses tonight on a nice double on greyhounds which I had recieved tips for earlier in the day, connections do pay off nicely sometimes!

Sunday/Monday

Sunday was a rather quiet day really just had a quick flick through the form of York and had a couple of bets but nothing returned, just then did some housework and went down the bookies to watch the races.

As for today spent the morning waiting about for alorry to unload, then went to plough which was something a bit different for me was going extremely well till i sheared a bolt so now gotta spend tomorrow morning putting a new one in rubbish!!

As for bets had a much better day, Sendali was backed off the boards into 9/2 and went on to win, as far as micks dancer ran a cracker behind what looks a useful sort to claim 2nd at 6/1 for us, and mayoman won nicely for us at 7/1. Pinball probably needs 6f to see him to his best he ran on well.

Saturday- RIP Jamie Kyne & Jan Wilson

A extremely somber affair at all the races today as it felt the shock of the news of the death of Jamie Kyne and Jan Wilson in a fire in the early hours, Jamie Kyne was a very impressive young jockey with a lot of talent, I dont know much about Jan Wilson but my thoughts go out to all those connected and families awful news and I hope when they get the person that done this is burnt alive aswell sick bastard!! Its unbelievable we live in a world where things like this happen. RIP!

From a betting point of view was an extremely busy day and just about broke even with the last race at Wolverhampton to go. Again my best wins have come on the AW and the 5 bets on the turf just Tom Tower ran into 2nd place @ 16/1.

And to just bring more sad news on racing community a favourite among Cumani's yard Curtain Cal had to be destroyed after suffering an injury there was also a nasty incident involving Harleston Snake and really brings home the risk these amazing animals go through to bring us enjoyment!

Friday

So the day of reckoning for Keiran Fallon, could he be as good as he once was?? I dunno before my time in horse racing so hard to judge but he failed to get the winner he was desperate for but does hold some good rides tomorrow so dont write him off just yet!

As for my day well it was yet another frustrating day (really do need to find a new job) spent the day moving the sheep we moved yesterday because boss got fed up with the ol boy where weve got em moaning about them getting out! They dont go far its just a couple of lambs that have worked out how not to get a bite off the electric fence they just potter about in hedge but anyway boss throwed toys out of pram so all work we did yesterday was a waste of time!

By the time we done that it was 3.3o and way past my lunchtime so had quick lunch and just washed the trailer and put plough on back of tractor to be re-metaled over weekend and day was over thank god lol!!

As for horse racing what an awesome day for me!

Turf saw 2 out of 3 bets coming in with puy d'arnac winning well at 9/4 aswell as promise maker at 9/2. Bonnie prince blue was well beaten do happen to think this horse is hit n miss and seems to need a strong ride!

Then onto the all weather at lingfield where jaconet got us off to a cracking start winning at 8/1 then fitz went on to win at 10/3 then bab al salam went in aswel at 2/1 adv. Then brief look won well at 10/11 general ting seemed to need a run and may be better next time out, then drew a blank in last at lingfield with six diamond only managing 3rd.

Candyfloss girl drifted badly and fate was sealed before off, struggling in nursery's at the moment and maybe something I need to leave alone for now. Rock anthem travelled well but lacked when came to finish but bomber command won well for us at 8/1 and spirit of a nation ran well at 7/1 3rd and could be much better next time out after stripping fitter!

Sounds of jupiter was just totally outclassed and jabal tariq went much better but went up front with jupiter and the race was in a very fast time and would suggest maybe went off to fast in front!

But all in all showed a massive profit of 8.52pts after staking just 11.25pts!!

Brilliant card at Kempton again tomorrow and wolverhamton in the evening aswell as a couple cards on turf so make sure you check Horses4Punters.com for my tips!

Thursday

What a totally miserable day, now we were desperate for the rain but still say it should only rain at night lol, but add the wind and I fucking hate it!

Was just one of those days trying to catch up on those 'rainy day jobs' mmmm didnt get too far as per normal when boss is involved most things take far too long so successfully just moved 1 lot of sheep to a new field and washed some turkey drinkers up, the 'rainy day' list is growing not shrinking one day we'l finish it!

As for the racing today:

Only had 2 bets on the turf and both were disappointing, so then it was on to Wolverhampton tonight and was much better.

Lithaam was going well but just faded in last furlong could just be held on current mark on the AW, Admiral bond was given an awful ride never getting on terms. Bertie southstreet won nicely making all from the front and was given a strong ride by holland in the closing stages, could be held next time. Dear mr Fantasy was just out paced and then never got into the race. Leahurst won comfortably and impressively comng from mid division to win well and just maybe capable of a lot better, more time tim also kept his good record on aw going coming 3rd behind Leahurst

All in all the day showed a nice profit so happy that finally getting somewhere with the AW

Onto Kempton and Lingfield tomorrow for all weather action

Chris

Wednesday

Yet another frustrating day, I really do have to wonder why I bother getting up so early every morning to piss about like this, get going on me cultivator after feeding the turkeys get to the field do a few acres and the oil seal which had been leaking for months and boss been told needs replacing for months completely goes and dumps all the oil!! Tractor off the road now until someone can fix it!! Why on earth didnt he get it fixed before it went completely wrong I will never know so then spent the rest of day cleaning all the oil of me ol besser!!

As for racing tough on the all weather racing today but only had one bet on turf and that was a winner, so pleased with that @ 6/4.

Flamsteed ran a solid enough race and should be capable of a win but perhaps the 7f was a little too far.
Baby josr ran a stonker and just seems to lack the spark to run a race, but the winner did have aw form good enough on the day.
Desert streak ran awful race probably racing to keen for own good and maybe take the cheekpieces off again next time out would help.
Supernoverre ran a fantastic race but just struggled to carry forward the effort to the line and haafhd time was disappointing being well backed before the off.
Six penny was never on terms and you need to be, and yawary maybe found a mile just a little too far.
Cool hand jake was backed off the boards and came a good enough second for us at 14/1 and striding edge drifted slightly and came 3rd for us at 14/1 aswell so happy with that would have preferred the winner aswell lol!!

Anyway on to tomorrow with couple goodish cards on turf and evening meeting at Wolverhampton

Chris

Tuesday

Got to be one of the most frustrating days at work ever, started with just changing a few points on me cultivator and getting out onto the field but then boss wife comes back and says we have a cow calving!

So of we trundle to catch it and bring it home easy peasy I had been luring them into the pen for a few weeks as we knew she was close, got there only to find they had been moved onto the other field where the pen wasnt so we had to stir them up to get em near the pen so just a nightmare finally got her and had the vet out to get to bugger out alive and well!

Then back to me cultivator and struggled and argued the fucking toss with the boss who will insist on re using rusty old bolts to save 1 penny but what he dont realise the time we struggle un doing them next time or doing up this time costs about 40p in labour grrrrr frustrating!

As for the racing extremely frustrating:

Norcroft travelled well but slowly faded and may just need a rest or a trip on to the all weather, also not to concerned as this was a step up in class and ran ok for that. General tufto ran a solid enough racing finishing 3rd for us but left his run maybe far to late and may need a strong ride.

Wingplay disappointed badly just never getting on terms, and mystified ran his usual good race coming 4th but not good enough for us and may just need a 1lb or 2!

All weather starts tomorrow so fingers crossed for a good winter!
