Bit of a lottery that race, why Emirates Roadshow?

 

Union Island (EW)

 

Otherwise Bombina in the 20.15 Doncaster and Jimwil in the 16.40 Warwick

 

Was impressed by his run at Ascot last time despite only finishing 7th and just think the 14/1 on offer at Hills earlier was too big a price, it's a sporting bet granted but so was Lady Darshaan yesterday who ran on well to finish 3rd at 16/1. I notice Union Island has drifted from 22/1 out to 28/1 on Betfair in the last 30 minutes which is either very ominous or means if you're confident you can get an ever bigger price!

Ta, I had a quick look at the race on At The Races (good site - thanks for the tip whoever it was) and OLBG, it seems there are too many with reasonable chances.

Probably me, I mention ATR quite a lot TBH. I noticed now that Hugh Taylor has tipped Emirates Roadshow and he is better than most tipsters you would pay good money to, eg Tommo, need I say more ;)

 

Edit: No actually you would not pay good money to them if you had any sense!!

Channel 4 races, typically very hard to make selections in such competitive races but:

 

1.30 Crackdown Ran prominently last time out only to get collared late on. Hopefully the same tactics will be used today.

2.00 Emperor Claudius may well win but makes no appeal at around 13/8. I prefer Lord Zenith which has some ew appeal at 8/1

2.35 The sort of race I avoid like the plague with 19 runners over 7f. If I was forced to make a selection I'd go with my old favourite Plum Pudding or Al Maheer.

3.10 Scenic Blast- Not a great price. JJ The Jet Plane at around 10/1 might be worth a small interest

Archers Road running tonight, got my Horse alert. worth a 5er

 

Tough race to call even with 7 runners. 13/2 seems to be best price and is available with several firms.

York 2.35 Flawed Genius ew

York 3.10 Sweet Lightning ew

Ascot 5.10 Pic Up Sticks ew

 

1 x ew treble

3 x ew doubles

 

Small stakes only, a typically trappy Saturday.

I might go to Windsor races tonight if I get home from work in time.

 

Been looking at the card, can't find anything I really fancy. Maybe Just a Monkey at 50/1 in the 8.00 !

whoooooaaa.

 

Big crash at Ayr. 7 fallers out of 12 in a 12 furlong flat race..

 

And your tip managed to avoid it - but still didn't win!

Blimey, never seen anything like that before. Seems Ballweerie(sp) slipped on the ground and caused the carnage. Could be the end of racing at Ayr today.

3.00 Brighton

Northern Empire

 

Well that could be an omen. 7 fallers in the Ayr race, 7 finishers in the NA race and Northern Empire is number 7 in the race. Lump on I say, though it will now probably finish 7th !!

I will be very impressed if it manages that in a 6 horse race!

Yeh, and it didn't rely on 7 horses falling for it to finish second, either.

 

It takes immense skill to chose a horse that knew how to avoid a pile up.
