Firstly today I'd like to say a great big thank you for all the good responses to my blog so far. I'm still NOT A TIPSTER but as @_tips4punters_ pointed out, horses picked and published on this blog can be my 'selections', NOT TIPS! Tips = far too much pressure. I'm comfortable with 'selections' though. A 'Selection' is much more huggable.
Yesterday (09/01/2011)
Well, day one of my blogging went very well with my first 2 selections getting a return, allbeit with KHELEY returning as the favourite. AND I did point out the obvious and give the heads even higher up with DONTPAYTHEFERRYMAN who went about his winning business as suspected, although personally I leave odds on horses well alone as I just don't punt enough to make it worth it. I was a bit gutted as I took 11/1 on FISHFORCOMPLIMENTS in the morning who placed, coming in at a much more generous 14/1. Asides from that, I was rather chuffed. Five out of the six races yesterday at Southwell were won by the short priced favourites and no one likes to back the favourite, let alone 'select' it for a blog - boring! I'll be trying to avoid doing this as much as possible as there are already plenty of people telling us to back favourites.
1.10 Southwell - KHELEY win @ 3/1. 1st Returning @ 11/4F RETURN.
2.45 Southwell -FISHFORCOMPLIMENTS each way @11/1. 2nd Returning @ 14/1 RETURN.
3.55 Southwell - FAIR BUNNY win @ 7/2. 6th Returning 6/1 (Drift alert!). LOSE.
So, so far I've yet to completely shame myself. There's still time.
Today (11/01/2011)
Oh no... today i feel pressure.
I've got quite a few each way picks today, so without any more chit chat, here we go. My personal non tipping bets for today are as follows...
2.25 Towcester - VALSFIRTH @ 8/1 EACH WAY.
2.55 Towcester - AFISTFULLOFPEBBLES @ 16/1 EACH WAY.
3.55 Towcester - REINDEER DIPPIN @ 6/1 WIN.
1.45 Taunton - OLD WAY @ 16/1 EACH WAY.
2.15 Taunton - GEE DEE DEN @ 20/1 EACH WAY.
3.15 Taunton - POSH EMILY @25/1 EACH WAY. (I'm sorry, I always have to!)
And a couple from Wolverhampton too...
2.35 Wolverhampton - DASHO @ 14/1 EACH WAY.
3.05 Wolverhampton - MEMPHIS MAN @ 14/1 EACH WAY.
4.35 Wolverhampton - PRICKLES @ 10/1 EACH WAY.
Pressue pressure pressure.
Off to my studio now to get some WORK done. I'd usually be at Towcester, but have to milk the cows this afternoon aswell, so a full busy day but, hopefully another successful one.
Good luck to you all today, whatever you're on.
