Hurricane fires the Medium back into Profit!!

Hurricane Fly's impressive performance fired the Punters Medium back into a 1 point profit for overall bets posted on this blog. I'm hoping to use this win to build a bit of momentum into some of the betting opportunities today. At Sandown there is a mixed card.

The first bet of the day goes in the 15.55 race at Punchestown. Willie Mullins horses are flying at the moment and I beleive Cest Ca to well handicapped for this race. In his last race he found one better at Fairyhouse but the ground was very heavy and now he goes up in trip and I think that will suit him well.

Cest Ca 5/1 Punchestown 17.35.

Right now to the Football!
I can't see Newcastle losing again this season they are flying and the pressure off them for being promoted has seemed to let them play with more freedom and dominate even more. At home they are very strong and although 1/2 is a short price I'm willing to get involved. Another 1/2 shot but simply must win is Huddersfield away at Stockport. Stockport have been abmissmal and Huddersfield flying beating the most in form team in the whole league last time out against the impressive Millwall. 1/2 put it in the coupon. Next up for is Oldham Southend since the turn of the year have been abmissmal, the club is in turmoil and I think they will go down today. Oldham have started picking up points and put in a very impressive draw against Southampton last time out. On that form this should be a home banker at 5-6 i think that is a very good price. Next the last one for the coupon will be Leicester City away at Preston. Preston haven't impressed me even with Ferguson in charge and I've been impressed with Leicester at 7/5 its one for my coupon.

1 pt
Newcastle 1/2
Huddersfield 1/2
Oldham 5/6
Leicester 7/5

Enjoy a good days sport!

Get Ready for a Hurricane!!!

My big bet today is on Hurricane Fly in the 5.30 at Punchestown. The majority of his rivals all have had tough seasons and Fly has only had one run all be it a poor one at Punchestown but I think you can discount this run due to the very heavy ground. He is now back in the spring on firmer ground back the festival he won last year. Willie Mullins horse are flying at the moment and I expect another Mullins winner in this race. He will regain his form and could hose up today.

3 pt win 7/2 Hurricane Fly 5.30 at Punchestown.

My next bet is a small e/w on Kings John Castle in the 16.20. He refused to run at Aintree and would have been geared up for that race. So although on top weight he will be fresh and raring to go. At 20-1 I think it is worth a couple of quid e/w.

1 pt e/w 20-1 Kings John Castle 4.20 Punchestown.

Enjoy the Racing,
Sorry have been away lately will start to pick it up again.

Right the blog is going to become a little bit breifer as my dissertation deadline looms. Today is the start of the Punchestowns festival Ireland's Cheltenham and I have 2 bets from running here today.

1st is Kandari in the 16.55 Noel Meade has been saying good things about the horse and importantly Paul Carberry is on board who is a master at steering his mounts through these huge irish handicap fields.

Kandari 2 pts e/w 11-1

2nd bet is Kalahari King he fell last time out at Aintree and I therefore didn't have too tough a race. At 5-1 I think it is a pretty sound e/w shot.

Kalahari King 2 pts e/w 5-1

Be Lucky,

Back On- Monday 19th April

Right I had the weekend off to freshen things up and am now invigorated for this weeks racing. Today is a typical Monday the racing is much but you can't complain as racing enthusiasts we are spoilt with our sport being on every single day. Today I'm a bit annoyed I've got up late and missed the early prices but I'm going to put a trixie on which is 1 treble and 3 doubles containing 3 horses. I've been impressed with Mick Channon's start this year and he saddles up two with big chances in the first two races at Pontefract today. With ex-champion jockey Kieron Fallon back trying to reclaim his crown on board I fancy these two runners. I think Born to Perform will complete the Fallon treble in the 15.40 as well.

Silca Conegliano 2.10 pontefract 3-1
Il Portico 2.40 Ponterfract 9/4
Born to Perform 3.40 6/4

1 pt win trixie= 4 pts

All bets put on with paddypower who guarantees best odds (if not on betfair must exploit these best odds offers.

Good Luck All,

Thursday 15th April

Right Newmarket and Cheltenham continues today both quite tricky on the whole. My first bet of the day comes in at Newmarket in the 15.00. Equiano he has ran solid races in group 1 categories and I think he will benefit from this step down with every chance of scoring for the Hills team but is too short for me at 3-1. The Best runner Mulluionileanhour or something like that (awful name for a horse) is an interesting runner after being a bright 2 yr old and injury hampering its development, on its reapperance it ran a credible race. The one I'm going to back however is the Stoute runner Golden Stream at 17/2, he is a well bred horse and importantly has won around Newmarket. I realise its his reapperance but I think I'd rather be backing him at 17/2 e/w than the others in the race.

1pt e/w Golden Stream Newmarket 15.00 17/2

My other bet of the day again at Newmarket is Tranquil Tiger in the 16.10. He seems to regained some of his past form on the all weather over the winter and previously has really mixed it with some good grade races. At 10/3 I think he is good value for his return to turf.

1pt win Tranquil Tiger Newmarket 16.10 10/3

Enjoy the Racing !!

Back into the Profit!!!

Duc de Regniere battled well to win for me at the 6-1 I got this morning, which drags me to a +1pt profit. I'm not going to have a bet on the footy tonight looks like a bit of a minefield. If I was going to have a little flutter it would be on a draw between Aston Villa and Everton coupled with an Arsenal win. Tottenham have been awful of late both in the cup semi and away to Sunderland they were woeful. I know Arsenal got a spanking from Barcelona but lets just say David Bentley isn't going to cause as many problems as Lionel Messi. Arsenal with a few players out but Van Persie will be on the bench and that could lift the team. Villa have a good home record although crashing out the FA cup they put in a credible performance and Everton have been playing well in 2010 so I think they will cancel each other out. As it happens I've convinced myself to have a couple of quid on that.

0.5 pt double Arsenal 5-4 and Villa Everton draw 23-10

Enjoy the sport!

Wednesday!!

Right Newcastle's win last night helped with some damage limitation getting the total back to -4 pts. Today we have interesting race meets at Cheltenham, Newmarket and Beverley as well as a bit of footy to get our teeth into tonight.

Boychuk is my first selection in the 14.45 at Cheltenham, importantly he has won over course and distance. Its had a relatively long lay off and has been freshened up for this race at 4-1 I think it is an e/w shot to nothing.

1pt e/w Boychuk 14.45 Cheltenham 4-1

Duc de Regniere is my next tip in the 15.55 again at Cheltenham, I think he is well handicapped and has handled fences very well this season. Again at a price like 6-1 looks like a solid e/w chance.

1 pt e/w Duc de Regniere 15.55 Cheltenham 6-1

Now to Beverley where I fancy the Fahy runner Glenn's Princess in the 13.30. Richard Fahy's horses are flying at the moment and I think in this maiden if Glenn's Princess is primed like the other runners it will have every chance.

1 pt win Glenn's Princess 13.30 at Beverley 5/2

Enjoy a good day's racing everyone!
