Hi to Sportz and Co.

I am hopless at systems and the like but have been interestingly following the forum for a few weeks now.

I am usually able to select a winner or two each day, but ultimately dont come out on top as i have too many bets.

I have gone through my records and have found that if i stick to my better bets (or Bet) of the day regardless of price i would come out on top.

I thought i might place some of them on the forum and see if you can let me know if you agree, give comments or even suggest who might beat it, I would really enjoy that.

Dalmacia


Todays bet

Wyong 4 No.1 Rose of Kings ($2.50) start with a shorty

Looks pretty good to me, but you may even struggle to get $2.50.

Yes, very good idea to try to restrict the number of bets. On Saturday, I actually liked about 15 races, but when it came to my 'best bets', they were Lad Of The Manor, Regal Roller, Raid The Royals, Red Oog, Shania Dane and Celtic Trial, so 5 wins and a 2nd from 6 bets. If I had stuck to just these 6 horses, I would have been WAY in front, but of course I couldn't do that. :o

I agree, restrict yourself to your best bets. How good a thing was Celtic Trial Sportz, i was certain he'd be odds on.

got on celtic trial as well. good price, if only they all won like that.

Better than bank interest Dalmacia. Goodonya!

well done Dalmacia !!

i used to back a million races a day...now i only back at the most 5 races a day...and they have to be in my stable..
great record on trifectas and trebles...which i think is easier than alot of people think..

You've come to the right place Dalmacia...good luck

Yeah, well done Dalmacia. As I said, you might struggle to get that $2.50. :)

Beginners luck
 

Yes yesterday proved to be a typical punting day, tell me if im wrong.
You pick a best bet for the day.

You have a few bets until the race so you can have more to bet on it.

The race arrives and you see the price at $1.70.

You spew becaue the money you have to back it will not recover your losses for the day.

So you take a trifecta and miss out with 3rd place.

You say to yourself why didnt i just wait and back it like i was going too this morning.

Sound Familiar.

Under Pressure
 

Thanks to all the replies yeterday and its allways good to pick a winner.

Today is a more difficult assignment.

I will again pick only one and again try to stick to my guns.

However please feel free to add comments , prices and reasons why it cant win or will be beaten by another horse.

Kembla Race 6 No.8
Ponte Picollo

PS.
Sportz i liked your comment yesterday about my selection and the price, so i was not surprised when it came up so short. I think it ran a track record as well.

But i did back it.

Hello Dalmacia:

Welcome to the best horseracing message board in Oz. Even us yanks come here to try to learn Australian horseracing and to get a pick or two.

Good pick yesterday. I always have an extra hard look at anything Beadman is riding. He handicaps his own riunners, and only takes rides he thinks he has a good chance on. He won both of his starts at Wyong yesterday.

I like Dr. Green, the # 1 horse at Kembla race 7. Also like Peace Ruler, #3 in the 5th at Sandown. Probably no decent odds to be had on either, and I am a terrible handicapper. Still I must post my best bets now and then to keep my humility. At least my picks entertain the folk here, since I usually lose. Maybe I'll be lucky and get a scratch on one or both.

Again, glad you're here. There are some excellent handicappers here, which you will see in time.

Regards,

Glenn
