Hello again, dear reader, from a soggy mouthed scribe today. Firstly, apologies for lack of content yesterday. An alternative business obligation meant I had to be in the West Country, from whence I’ve only just returned.
Normal service now resumed, and the reason for my salivating is that the postman has brought me a new CD. Not just any old CD though. Oh no, this one is the CD-Rom with last season’s National Hunt racing data on it (as well as all the previous season’s back to 1991!)
For the next few weeks then, I shall be researching for TrainerTrackStats (the jumps guide counterpart of TrainerFlatStats), and very excited I am too.
Lessons have been learned from last season, where overall a modest profit was made to level stakes, using betfair. There will be some differences in the approach this season, but more on this in due course.
Elsewhere, and many of you have already got hold of your subscription to Racing Members Club, a lay tipster service.
Tracking the results since Sunday, when the service was officially launched, we see the following:
12/8
15:10 Redcar - Robbie Scott LOST
13/8
14.30 Wolverhampton - Musical Charm 6.8 LOST
14.45 Stratford - Salesin 5.1 LOST
15.45 Stratford - Lusaka De Pembo 3.8 WON
19:55 Thirsk - Next Flight 7.2 LOST
14/8
14.15 Newton Abbot Knightsbridge Hill 4.5 LOST
15.15 Newt Abbot Once A Brownie 7.4 LOST
19.30 Musselburgh Radiator Rooney 7.8 LOST
There are no selections today. However, seven losers and one winner is a promising start indeed.

Over at Sandown tonight, I reckon Redolent is plenty short enough on what he achieved on debut and, despite the likelihood of an improved show tonight, there are plenty in here who could be useful. I’ll be laying at around 6/4.
Good luck!
Matt
