Another successful afternoon here ... and very close to getting the placepot up again which paid nearly £200 also shows that regardless of price (66/1 shot in race 2 and nice forecast there even with the odds on fav going in) we can select and back without fear. 

Next Meeting is Tuesday 21st May in the evening. 

PONTEFRACT RACES -- SYSTEM TEST DAY 2 -- MONDAY 22nd APRIL 2013

MONDAY 22nd APRIL

2nd meeting of 2013 and we continue to study the effect or results of draw 1 and 2 here. 

6 races, we start at 2.10

2.10 -- LADY LIZ [13th 33/1] / HELLO BEAUTIFUL [2nd 9/2]

2.40 -- NOBLE BULL [2nd 6/1]  / BLUE WAVE [WON 2/1]

3.10 -- GALICIAN [2nd 4/1] / AL'S MEMORY [3rd 17/2]

3.40 -- RIPTIDE [3rd 6/1] / STICKLEBACK [2nd 7/2]

4.10 -- BASTION [2nd 5/2] / ANDERTON [3rd 15/8] 

4.40 -- SHADOWTIME [2nd 17/2] / GREEN HOWARD [4th 4/1]

Plenty of places today with the system, the Betfair place markets would have been hammered. Sadly just the (one) winner so far but clearly it's still working and worth looking at next time at least. 

We would also have had the place pot up too £45.20 to 8 lines. (£64 staked, £361.60 returns). 

Next meeting will be on Wed 1st May. 

PONTEFRACT RACES ... A SYSTEM TEST FOR 2013 FLAT SEASON

PONTEFRACT RACES
It's been brought to my attention that over recent years stalls 1 and 2 have been performing remarkably well at this course and seems worth following for this season too. 

Now of course past performance doesn't mean squat and all runs come to an end but having witnessed the run continue at their first turf meeting this year I will keep a blog going throughout 2013. 

TUESDAY 9th APRIL 2013
Results

2.10 -- 1. Snooky [3rd 11/4F] / 2. Dolphin Rock [WON 9/2]

2.40 -- 1. Libertarian [WON 15/8F] / 2. The Welsh Wizard [2nd 2/1]

3.10 -- 1. Polish Max [WON 11/4] / 2. Flashlight [2nd 7/4]

3.40 -- 1. Ctappers [7th 14/1] / 2. Wily Fox [2nd 10/1]

4.15 -- 1. Warlu Way [10th 14/1] / 2. Kingsdesire [2nd 7/1]

4.45 -- 1. Auntie Mildred [9th 11/1] / 2. Next Door [WON 13/8F]

5.15 -- 1. Syncopate [6th 4/1] / 2. Six Silver Lane [10th 20/1]

A good start, and results are SP so assume possible better on Betfair at least, with the added option of following the place market too and picking up the frequent places on offer. 

NEXT MEETING: MONDAY 22nd APRIL

AINTREE GRAND NATIONAL SAT 6th APRIL 2013

One of the biggest betting days of the year is upon us the Grand National now over 4m 3f (they've moved the start up 1f away from the crowds). 

Out Ante Post slips have been kind this year, am left with 5 selections all backed at over 100/1 some are still about that figure, some are thankfully a little more forwards, but doesn't matter they all got to just the same fences and stay. 

Lets see how these get along Sat afternoon;

4 QUELL ESPRIT
5 BIG FELLA THANKS
10 TEA FOR THREE
22 TREACLE
31 HARRY THE VIKING

A small EW wager on SOLL too but only at the current price of 40/1 nice to see him sneak in at the bottom of the weights yesterday.

Have a wonderful National Day.
