LATANSAA finished 3rd (had every chance). If K.FALLON had ridden all the Maktoum horses that R.Hills has I think he would have won more races than Hills has.
Here's the FAIR MAIDEN story so far

Placed 2
U/Plcd 1 (4th)

Todays Selection is
LITTLEPORTNBRANDY 5.40 WINDSOR

Cheers,FR it sounds like you are using a form of retrieve staking,that's interesting as years ago it used to be in vogue,but i have not seen it mentioned for a long time.
As you say the challenge is a bit of fun,but racing appears to be full of aftertimers,and i admire anyone who puts thier selections up before the result is known.Best wishes for continued profits.
Trusted Member
Thank you for those kind words Mick.
What makes this Challenge even more Challenging is that I'm only backing Maidens.

You are very welcome FR,i think it is a good thing to specialise,and your choice of Maidens is interesting for myself as i have never looked deeply into these races.If you felt able starting a thread on betting in Maiden races could make for some interesting posts.Originally Posted by frontrunner

good luck with this thread fr,but i think you have made a small mistake when submariner won. you staked £150 @ 11/8 which would have won £206.you have added the stake to the profit which works out at £356 so instead of the balance being £1,190.26 it would have been £1040.26
tl;dr specialist
There's a minor mistake before that too with the balance decreasing from £886 to £834 after a £50 losing bet - there's an extra £2 floating around somewhere?
Trusted Member
Your request has been noted :)
I'd like to be able to do a lot more but due to work commitments I simply don't have the time.

I managed to get 3.15 on Betfair a few minutes before the off as my price for it was 5/6
Everything is going in the right direction & it's nice to know that you're taking a interest in what I'm doing Headmaster :)

Fascinating! Especially as the 10l's 4th to Afsare won yesterday too.
Only you can get 7/4 & 2/s on Betfair now, would seem on the drift as money comes for the Balding horse...
Bizarre staking - does that mean you're confident or quitting if it loses?
Trusted Member
It's the end of the road for me
I would like to thank those of you have shown interest in this thread.
Everything was going so well for a while then it all went pearshaped. I finished with a respectable strike rate of 37% despite losing the FANTASY (remember that) £1,000.
BANK - £1,000
SR 11/30 (37%)
bye for now

It ALWAYS does seem to go pearshaped doesnt it ?
Forum Member
Can I take this over? Like the title & shame to lose a thread?It's the end of the road for me
But while I'm supposed to be concentrating on h'caps I often see things worth a go in maiden races & while I do like H Cecil first time out I think his runner in the first at Nottingham is a little short & would have to be something pretty special to turn over:
Notts 2.05
Catalinas Diamond 6/4 Win but we'll count at SP
Start again with a £1000 - £50 Win or £25 EW

I have had some success on my site today with a 9/1 relay and one from Pricewise at 13/2, i have subscribed to many of these paid for services and am finding that not very many are giving value for money, hence what i am doing for all
