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

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2014
[MONDAY 14th APRIL]

The second of this season's race meetings from Pontefract and so we continue with our simple but effective system. If you didn't see our previous post we are backing horses drawn in stalls 1 and 2 through the card. Statistically this has shown a profit through the season. 

We will aim to use the Betfair Place market to hopefully add to our returns. All bets will be stated here beforehand although for recording purposes the results will be shown to level stakes at SP. 

Having started off with the opening meeting giving us two winners and some places too we are already ahead +8 points. 

Racing starts at 2.10pm. 

[RACES]
2.10 -- IS SHE ANY GOOD [7th 12/1], DON'T TELL ANNIE [WON 4/1 (from 12/1)]

2.40 -- ROCKET RONNIE [9th 20/1], STELLAR EXPRESS [2nd 9/2 - beaten a nose.]

3.10 -- FOREST EDGE [9th 15/2], COLONEL MAK [11th 15/2]

3.40 -- LONGSHADOW [2nd 33/1], NEW YOUMZAIN [WON EVENS] Forecast - £44.05 [for info only not part of the system though we did do r/fc's personally which is nice]

4.10 -- LOCKY TAYLOR [7th], JACK BARKER [10th 66/1]

4.40 -- SEE CLEARLY [6th 8/1], SHILLITO [WON 8/1 from 12/1]

[SUMMARY OF RESULTS]
Cracking start once again with DON'T TELL ANNIE winning the opener at 4/1 SP (backed at 12/1 this morning). Very close thing in the second race too with STELLAR EXPRESS going down gamely by the shortest margin though so far our bigger priced horses are finishing out of the frame. 


Race 3 didn't go our way at all Colonal Mak making most of the running but ran out of gas in the last 1/2f. 

Race 4 was an awesome result only bettered if the placings reversed. But NEW YOUMZAIN could be just that, a close winner beating our other outsider LONGSHADOW and a nice forecast result too. 

Race 5 went the way of the bookies this time with neither selection ever getting into the race, so we just wait on the finale off in 15 mins....and BANG another winner this time with SHILLITO going in at 8/1 (taken 12/1 this morning). 

So even at SP returns we are again in profit for the 2nd meeting running. Up another 4 points to go with the 8 from meeting 1. 

Now +12 Points to a level stake at SP to go ahead with. 

Next meeting is on Wednesday 30th April. I'll be at Ascot that day celebrating my birthday with friends so will get selections up early as possible on Tuesday 29th but results will not be updated till Thursday sometime. 

Enjoy

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

PONTEFRACT SEASON 2014
[TUESDAY 8th APRIL]

And they're off...

Welcome to the first meeting from Pontefract the start of their Turf Flat racing season for 2014. During the last year we kept a regular blog from each meeting during their season to follow a very simple racing system. 

Last season proved to be successful and helped to back up the promise shown by the statistics during the previous few years we are going to be a lot more active this term and attempt to use this statistical research to build into a profitable racing system. 

What is the system you ask? Well if you hadn't been following us during the last 12 months it's very simple.  The is historic evidence to suggest that Stalls 1 and 2 must be followed and a profit will be shown overall during the year. Note that is STALL 1 and 2 not Race card Number or anything else. 

[RACES]

2.10 -- MIXED MESSAGE [12th 11/1], DARK OCEAN [WON 11/1 (from 16's)]  

2.40 -- BURMESE BREEZE [9th 100/1], NOTHING SPECIAL [10th 50/1]

3.10 -- MR MATTHEWS [3rd 16/1], QUICKASWECAN [4th 9/2]

3.40 -- DARING INDIAN [11th 22/1], JOYFUL MOTIVE [5th 16/1]

4.15 -- SAFE HOME [4th 20/1], GUNNER LINDLEY  [5th 33/1]

4.45 -- SPINNER LANE [5th 33/1], SITTING PRITTY [N/R]

5.15 -- GOLD SHOW [3rd 5/1], PERTUIS [WON 8/1]

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

13 Bets, level stakes to SP shows a Profit +8 points

Great start to 2014 system with a winner in the first backed at morning price of 16/1 will be recorded as 11/1 SP as always. Our other runner was near last so nice symmetry so far. The 2.40 we were on a pair of outsiders and the race was won by CHAMPAGNE RULES at 100/1 from Stall 3 !!! So Close. 

The rest of the meeting went according to script with some big prices failing to show and we had to wait till the finale for another place and another WIN which put us in profit for the day. Overall a great start and I look forward to the next meeting which is less than a week away. 

Next meeting is Monday 14th April. 

The calm before the storm that is Cheltenham 2014

Just about 48 hours now till this seasons big national hunt festival and if you can't wait to get your fix at least you can enjoy the likes of Plumpton, Stratford and Taunton on Monday afternoon. 

A few words of caution before Tuesday's Supreme Novices Hurdle (1.30pm 11th March). 

If you are going to Cheltenham, leave early. get there as early as you can as there is plenty to see and do before racing and if you aren't lucky enough to be in hospitality your queue for the bar will be 100 deep if you wait too long. 

If you going in a group arrange a meeting point as you will at some point be split up. suggest it's somewhere that won't already be populated by the 30000 other racegoers. I suggest the 1f marker pole, or something clearly marked / signposted. This is particularly important if you taking youngsters with you. 

Don't expect your mobile phone to work, Ok it might do but have you tried to make a call with 1000s of others around you? The signal was never that great in Gloucestershire and with the racecourse being at the foot of a hill black-spots are the norm.

If you using a smartphone for betting etc then make sure it's FULLY charged and if you have one take a spare charged battery (I always find that the phone packs up by race 4 if you using it heavily and you might want it for getting home or celebrating your big win in the pub) !! 

If you do win a bit, be nice and drop a couple of quid to the good people of St John Ambulance on your way out of the course, they usually around or you can make a donation online. Karma will follow you and they do a great job both at the races and elsewhere, they rely on donations to survive and Every Little Helps as I once told Tesco's. 

But above all else, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY / WEEK I wish you well and hope you find as many winners as I do.
