Ally Bongo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Like many others i won today but it feels as if i have lost. Annie Power was an absolute gut wrencher It would indeed have been the day of all days gambling wise Whats worse is that it was not just the bookies that were trying to jinx it but also the professional pundits who had appeared on the tv the last 2-3 weeks trying to talk everyone off the favourites I had ante post trebles & accumulator - Douvan, Faugheen, Annie Power & Peace and Co on Friday Put another one on yesterday with Douvan, Un de Sceaux, Faugheen and Annie Power It would have been brilliant seeing the bookies well and truly skelpt - you could see the fear they had around 1pm when quizzed about the 4 of Mullins horses winning Even worse was i had an e/w lucky 15 - Shaneshill 14/1, The Druids Nephew 8/1, Arctic Fire 20/1 & The Pirate Queen at 25/1 in Annie Power's race. So when Annie Power fell i had a couple of seconds of saying if The Pirate Queen (which was now in 3rd place) stays there i'll get £500 for my wee lucky 15 placer I had the placepot for 60p as small compensation FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got £2.5 ew on it and got in an ew treble. Might stick £5 outright too I'm no a big horse man but got a couple of tips today and got a wee buzz out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might stick £5 outright too I'm no a big horse man but got a couple of tips today and got a wee buzz out of it I'd never talk anyone out of betting their fancy - especially when it's a Mullins & Walsh horse My thoughts are that it's a two horse race Don Poli is thought of as next year's Gold Cup winner and has the beating of Adriana des Mottes through their form with Apache Stronghold but Kings Palace has been really impressive against lesser opposition this year especially at Cheltenham on goodish ground. Only thing that's putting me onto Don Poli is that the form of the horses Kings Palace has beaten is not so good now Vivaldi Collonges & Return Spring were both unplaced in handicaps today However 25/1 is a good e/w on your fancy so fire in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Other than Don Poli, I like the look of The Young Master in this one. Wouldnt put you off - handicap form going into novice chases usually stands up well The difference is that King's Palace has won Class 2 and 3 novice chases whereas Don Poli has won a Grade 1 novice in Ireland beating Apache Stronghold That horse has form with Valseur Lido and Vautour Nonetheless i can remember when Harcon came over from Ireland with the same credentials as Don Poli ...and got pumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Like so many other people Annir Power turned what should have been an excellent day in to a disappointment. I had the first 4 winners but was only 80 quid up as Douvan, Un De Soceaux and Faugheen were accied with Annie Power and would have returned me about 800 quid. I was sitting with my thumb poised over the cash out button the whole race and if I'd had any indication she didn't look like winning I'd have taken the money and ran. The only time I relaxed was about 3 seconds before the fall when it looked like she was cruising. It's the most gutted I've ever been losing a race. Between all of us watching it in th boozer it cost us over £5K. We then had a speculative group bet on the last and picked Irish Cavalier so that softened the blow a fraction. To have 5 out of 7 winners and only be just over £100 up is a bit galling though although I suppose a win is a win. Got money rolling on to Spriter Sacre today for about £300 so hopefully that'll get me off to a flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Got 4 £1 - £1.25 e/w trebles on the go and stuck £2 on Walsh's Adriana des Mottes at 25/1. Surely I'll get something back?? I've had a good season on the beautiful game so I'm just experimenting with the ponys. Nichols Canyon 7/2 Don Poli 7/4 Sir de Grugy 3/1 £1.25 e/w treble Sprinter Sacre 3/1 Parlour Games 5/1 Don Poli 7/4 £1.25 e/w treble Sir de Grugy 3/1 Nichols Canyon 7/2 Goodwood Mirage 12/1 *5 Places on Betfred £1.21 e/w treble Nichols Canyon 7/2 Adriana des Mottes 25/1 Champagne Fever 5/1 £1 e/w treble Surely I'll break even if nothing else Edited March 11, 2015 by DoonTheSlope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
