Missed abaout 8-10 lengths at the start and ran on pretty well at the finish. Was fancied in the markets today as well.

[Fadetoblack]

Entered tomorrow at southwell...F/C 6-1. Sure he'll hack up.

[tophatter]

intresting that - I will have a look at that cheers Fade.

[Fadetoblack]

No probs TH, I really think we could a really nice priced winner here.

[Fadetoblack]

Drifted like a horse that was never gonna win, and never got a mention. This is a horse who's always well backed when a win is expected...as soon as he drifted I knew the writing was on the wall

[tophatter]

Its always worth a look FTB. I had a look, weighed it all up and decided on this occasion the horse was not for me. Your report was only one factor and I took it as a positive, but the positives were outweighed by the negatives and so there was no bet.

Just because it did not win this time dont mean it wont win in the future so if you see something it is always worth recording either on paper or mentally as there may be a situation where that positive is the deciding factor between a bet or not bet.

[Fadetoblack]

Out again today. 33-1, too big of a price methinks.

The Vegy-ometer will take a look and tell you whether it will win,
using next years racing almanac given to me by a future version of myself

[vegyjones]

Replaced the pudding with Michae Hills which is a positive.
Stepped up to 7 furlongs, which I'm unsure as to whether this is a pos or a neg.
Has raced recently over 6 (and won once) and before that mostly a mile (some good runs)
Only 7 furlong run was at Lingfield, and finished 4th in that!

Possibly worth an EW bet if backed in as Fade says!
Others I would prefer though! :)

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks Veg. It was penultamite run that caught my eye and if he reproduced that one, from a level break, he must have a place chance! Poker Player FTW

[vegyjones]

Definitely an eye-catching jockey change,

I don't rate Hills on the sand as much as i do on grass,
but none-the-less sometimes, I think he could make a
paraplegic win a wheelbarrow race!

[Fadetoblack]

Ok we'll scratch poker from the list.

[mathare]

Runs tomorrow in the 4.10 at Lingfield and on paper looks to be well beaten by much of the field

[Secret Squirrel]

And was!

[Fadetoblack]

Ok, we'll revive this fella for one more run....

Poker player had his last win in October last year in a Class 5 in Windsor.

Today he goes back to Windsor for a similar contest and where that day he was 2-1, today he's 33-1. It's possible that he could do a lot better on turf and we don't want to miss out in case he does.

[vegyjones]

33's My ratings had him at 150-1

Only kidding!

[Fadetoblack]

AW ratings....

Back to turf today...this is how you find a big priced winner Mr. Jones!!

[vegyjones]

I shall watch and learn Mr. Black! :D

And then go and listen to Shaggy does Let It Be on my Ipod!
