2014 GALWAY FESTIVAL [JULY 28th -- AUG 3rd] -- DAY FIVE

DAY FIVE
FRIDAY 1st AUGUST

After another disappointing day on Thursday we arrive at Day 5 with a carried forward value of -9 points to show for our level staking plan at SP. 

Not been the best week for Mr Weld, but it will only take one good result to sort us out (he said hopefully). At least it's Friday though eh. 

Here we go with today's entries. Good luck


DAY FIVE ENTRIES;


5:10 -- Diplomat (USA)     6th 11/2

5:40 -- Bleu Ciel Et Rouge (IRE)    2nd 2/1

6:15 -- Daffern Seal (IRE)     13th 20/1

6:50 -- Show Court (IRE)     2nd 11/4

7:25 -- Massinga (IRE)     WON 8/11

7:55 -- Keyboard Melody (IRE)     4th 13/2


8:25 -- Forgotten Rules (IRE)     WON 9/10

Again two short priced favs winning and few places but we lose again and only have 2 days left to get it back. The running total now at -12.4 points to our 1pt stake at SP. 


Lets pray for a winning end to the week at least and lick our wounds before the next meeting on Wednesday from Pontefract. 

2014 GALWAY FESTIVAL [JULY 28th -- AUG 3rd] -- DAY FOUR

DAY FOUR
THURSDAY 31st JULY

After another disappointing day we arrive at Day 4 with a carried forward value of -4 points to show for our level staking plan at SP. Could this be the year that Mr Weld lets us down and fails to shine, I hope not.

Does only need 1 decent winner to turn it all around and the horses are still going well just not good prices so far. 

Onwards and upwards as we look ahead to Thursday, the entries are below and there's good chances in each one for a result. Indeed the big race today 4.55 (Galway Hurdle) Hisaabaat ran well in this last year and is 12/1 tonight for the contest will be interesting to see what the SP is returned. 


DAY FOUR ENTRIES

1.50 -- TYLER'S COTTAGE     [5th 5/1]

3.00 -- NORTHERN ROCKED     [6th 7/1]

3.40 -- TESTED     [2nd 8/11]

4.55 -- HISAABAAT     [4th 9/1]

5.35 -- PIRATE COVE     [3rd 3/1]

That was rather disappointing today with no winners and a loss of 5 points to put us on -9 points for the meeting overall. Friday's entries will be up soon but this could be the year we fail !! (optimistic is not my style).

2014 GALWAY FESTIVAL [JULY 28th -- AUG 3rd] -- DAY THREE

DAY THREE 

WEDNESDAY 30th JULY

Continuing our daily updates following trainer Dermot Weld at this years Galway Festival, we're already at Day 3 and currently stand at a small loss of -2.35 points to a level stake at SP. 

DAY THREE ENTRIES

3.00 -- TANDEM     3rd Evens

4.45 -- WHITEY O'GWAUN     WON 9/10f

6.05 -- MOONBI CREEK     13th 11/2

6.40 -- SARAFIYLA     5th 13/8f

7.10 -- BROOCH     WON 4/9f

Disappointing not to get a better set of results from today, two more short winners means a small loss of -1.65 points taking us up to a loss of -4 points for the meeting so far. 

2014 GALWAY FESTIVAL [JULY 28th -- AUG 3rd] -- DAY TWO

DAY TWO
TUESDAY 29th JULY

-3 Points after day one on Monday evening, we crack on into day two looking to get the system back on track. 

Following Dermot Weld's entries at the Galway Festival, the returns are to a 1 point level stake at Starting Price. Naturally we are using Betfair and the place markets to try and make a little bit better return, Monday in particular showed a few placed and only the one winner. 

DAY TWO ENTRIES;

6.05 -- CHINESE LIGHT   EVENS  [3rd]

6.40 -- CALIBRATE    N/R
6.40 -- DEFINING YEAR   6/1 [4th]

7.10 -- HIDDEN UNIVERSE    9/4f [WON]

8.15 -- ANTIQUE PLATINUM    2/5f [WON]

Couple more winners today and a small profit but not sufficient to clear the loss from Monday yet. Still it's a positive sign that the horses are in good order even a place from Defining Year gave us some return too on the place markets with Betfair. 

Wednesday's entries have been published and we'll keep doing the daily updates through to Sunday.

2014 GALWAY FESTIVAL [JULY 28th -- AUG 3rd] -- DAY ONE

DAY ONE 
MONDAY 28th JULY

THE ANNUAL GALWAY FESTIVAL COMES AROUND AGAIN, AND IT'S THE TURN OF DERMOT WELD TO GIVE US ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM. 

THE RECENT YEARS HAVE PROVEN THAT BACKING THE LEGENDARY TRAINER AT THIS PARTICULAR MEETING SHOWS A PROFIT EVEN THOUGH HIS HORSES WILL OFTEN ATTRACT SUPPORT AND SHORTEN, SO TAKE A PRICE WHATEVER YOU CAN IT'LL BE OK WITH THE LIKES OF WILLIAM HILL WHO WILL GO BEST ODDS GUARANTEED ONLINE. 

WE WERE AWAY SO MONDAY'S RESULTS APPEAR HERE A DAY LATE BUT I AIM TO GET THE ENTRIES AND RESULTS UP IN A TIMELY FASHION FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. 

DAY ONE RESULTS
5.10 -- MANHATTAN SWING     15/8f [6th]

6.10 -- POSTULATION     5/2 [2nd]

7.45 -- TIMIYAN     3/1 [WON]

8.15 -- CALL VINNIE     5/4f [2nd]


ONLY THE ONE WINNER AND A FEW PLACED BUT PRICES WERE SHORTENED THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AS EXPECTED. 

OVERALL A 3 POINT LOSS FOR DAY ONE. 

PONTEFRACT HORSE RACING SYSTEM -- 2014 TURF SEASON -- PART TEN

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2014

[Sunday 27th July]

The tenth meeting of the season from Pontefract, with an excellent start to the season we've had a recent barren spell by our standards yet even so we're still in front albeit just the +7 points for the season based on a level stake at SP. 

Do feel a bumper Sunday coming on and although I will be away visiting the Isle of Man as well as getting ready for Goodwood and Galway meetings later. 

Will try and update while I am away, if that's not possible it'll have to be a case of wait and see. It's not after timing as the criteria for the day is established and won't change hence our selections will be pre-determined too. 

Racing gets under way with a 7 race card on Sunday at 2.20pm; 

2.20 DARK RECKONING [WON 2/1], DOPPLER EFFECT [3rd 13/2]

2.55 MEN DON'T CRY [4th 3/1], FLYING CAPE [3rd 7/2]

3.30 SKY KHAN [2nd 11/2], SPANISH PLUME [11th 15/2]

4.05 TENOR [2nd 15/2], CUSTOM CUT [WON 9/2]

4.40 THATCHERITE [6th 14/1], RUBYS DAY [4th 10/1]

5.10 ENDLESS SEAS [6th 25/1], HANNO [2nd 10/11]

5.40 PABUSAR [2nd 5/2], MAJESTIC MANANNAN [WON 7/2]

Just back from a well earned break to the Isle of Man, so sorry for delay to the results. Almost a break even day actually a small loss of -1 point. But as Majestic Manannan was backed at 20/1 down to 7/2 in reality the profit was very sufficient for us personally, that said we do results to SP so we do currently stand at +6 points for the season. 

Next race meeting is on Wednesday 6th August.

PONTEFRACT HORSE RACING SYSTEM -- 2014 TURF SEASON -- PART NINE

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2014

[Friday 18th July]

The ninth meeting from Pontefract, and it's another evening meeting ... we started off things really well peaked at +31 points profit but couple of poor results means we are down to +9 after 8 meetings. Still the early events proved it's still viable and we carry on into the second half of the season.

Tonight we begin at 6.30pm with a maiden contest for 2yo's. 

6.30 -- RED HARRY [5th 25/1], STOLEN STORY [7th 4/1]

7.00 -- DARK AMBER [3rd 10/3], SOME SITE [4th 6/4]

7.30 -- ADAMS ALE [6th 4/1], JACK LUEY [N/R]

8.00 -- MAYFIELD BOY [2nd 7/2], IMSHIVALLA [WON 6/1] Forecast paid £26.16

8.35 -- LADY BUBBLES  [N/R], BUY OUT BOY [8th 16/1]

9.05 -- LUCKY LODGE [4th 17/2], BAINNE [N/R]

Sadly only the one success with Imshivalla but not enough to prevent another losing day. Small loss of 2 points today and not wanting to get too down but it's becoming a sequence and we want to get back to winners soon.

Overall still in profit +7 Points after nine meetings. 

Let's hope for some good fortune as we enter a busy few weeks with Goodwood and Galway also coming up. Am away for the next meeting but will still post results when I get back since the "method" is already known the selections will not be affected by my absense. 

The next meeting will be held on Sunday 27th July.

PONTEFRACT HORSE RACING SYSTEM -- 2014 TURF SEASON -- PART EIGHT

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2014

[Tuesday 8th July]

The eighth meeting of the season from Pontefract, with an excellent start so far, despite last weeks first losing day, we go forth once more into this one still ahead +19 points for the season based on a level stake at SP. 

Hope the big crowds that are in the area following the Tour De France will pay a visit to the track and enjoy an excellent day racing on 4 legs rather than the 2 wheels. 

Today's meeting is a 7 race card and racing begins at 2.30 

2.30 HORSFORTH [5th 7/1], SAKHEE'S RETURN [4th 9/2]

3.00 EPSOM HILL [2nd 8/1], FINE VINTAGE [3rd 8/1]

3.30 LEXINGTON ROSE [N/R], GOLD CLUB [4th 5/2]

4.00 MASARAH [10th 11/2], AMULET [4th 6/1]

4.30 SUNRAIDER [4th 6/1], HADAJ [8th 3/1]

5.00 HOPE FOR GLORY [6th 50/1], MIZZOU [WON EVENS]

5.30 BUY OUT BOY [8th 9/1], SI SENOR [N/R]

Another poor day for us today, just the one winner at Evens and the couple of Non Runners means we lose another 10 points from our profit which is now down the just +9points. Never mind we are still ahead and there's always the next meeting to enjoy. 

Keep the faith.

Next meeting will be held on the evening of Friday 18th July.
