ASCOT R5 & R7,
And these were the races I classed as next best ("B" races):
ROSE R4, R5 & R7,
SAND R3 & R8,
DOOM R5,
ASCOT R4 & R8.
Now, as it is, I concentrate most of my betting on the "A" races, but if I had simply ignored the other races completely, I would have finished comfortably in front today. It's much easier said than done though to cut your betting down to just 8 races on a Saturday.
As I write, I've just picked up a nice little result at Ascot, so after a poor start, things are looking okay.  |
I liked Wire Detonator at Perth... ah well... It was at E/W odds so no damage done
As for cutting down.. you know my theory... Ya need to have a paddle in the water to do any good... I will come out in front today, but Melbourne was pretty damn hard... A couple of nice place getters helped out there along with a couple of winners... but we were heading out backwards prior to the last... that is what I mean by a paddle in the water.. I managed to jag 20/1 the place to save the day... My Thornbird in Perth helped later on as well... I know that it is conventional wisdom/thinking to have as few bets as possible, it's just I'm not conventional....
I missed your q about betting so many races... I am no snob... if the value is there I will have a dip ... the 100 ya might win on a maiden at Albury buys the same as the 100 you might win on a Cox Plate... |
