Ok, I have to say that the first 2 days of the Festival, have for me been the worst 2 days of the Festival in terms of betting... EVER. Infact, I can't remember 2 days together that have been as bad as this for me for a long, long time.
Yesterday was a disaster, So Young and Alfa Beat finishing 3rd and 4th respectively, but on win bets! Damn.
Only return was courtesy of AP McCoy on Wayward Prince who finished 3rd in the RSA on an each way bet.
The disapointment of Time For Rupert completely flumping hit home hard. I'd been waiting for this race all season and had a fair clout of ante post money on him (well, fair clout for me anyway). The horse never looked happy, or at all interested in racing. I will be looking forward to seeing him at the Aintree meeting with a race in him, especially as Paul Webber has a pretty good record with runners at the Liverpool meeting.
It seems I'm not the only one in the losing boat, as many others seem to be struggling this time too. All except the Irish of course.
Right, can I pull back some £££££££ today? I'd like to at least get back to square one please God!
MY bets today (choose your own!!!!)
1.30 - LOOSEN MY LOAD @ 7/1 EACH WAY
2.05 - KNOCKARA BEAU @ 16/1 EACH WAY
2.40 - HEY BIG SPENDER @ 20/1 EACH WAY
3.20 - RESTLESS HARRY @ 40/1 EACH WAY
4.00 - PIRAYA @ 33/1 EACH WAY
4.40 - BILLIE MAGERN @ 14/1 EACH WAY
I've gone for all the 'plugging on' sorts today. They are all horses that might be boxing ubove their weight a bit, but with some bookies paying out 4 and 5 places on a couple of races, i'm taking advantage!
I'm looking forward to the World Hurdle. I'm hoping the handsome BIG BUCKS can shake off the impressive looking grey, Grands Crus, as much as I love him too.
Good Luck today everyone!
