I’ve spent a lovely week in a caravan in North Somerset with the family (and an unwelcome colony of ants!) but there’s only so much lounging around by the pool drinking Budweiser I can take and I’m now looking forward to getting back home. The biggest problem I’ve faced this week has been trying to find a Racing Post but the manager of the local Betfred has been very helpful and let me have his copy the days I’ve been unable to secure a paper of my own. On the betting front I’ve managed to break even this week thanks to Forte Dei Marmi on Monday but would have finished well infront if Dylanesque had managed to hold on last night. Guess what folks? Another second!

Before I leave I’ll be having  a couple of bets on today’s racing…..

Firstly, I’m going to start the Bonus Ball Bet up again this month and will attempt to get the prizefund rolling with 4 horses at Epsom today. I reckon Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes may have a decent afternoon and will be having a £1ew Lucky 15 on….

Ordnance Row 1.40 Epsom
Vitznau 2.10
Lucky General 4.50
Kajima 5.25

Details on this months competition will be announced tomorrow.

I’ve had a really big double on Timepiece and Bullet Train for the two Classics and if I’m lucky enough to collect I’ll be off to Vegas for my birthday to play in the World Series of Poker. Incidentally, I’ve been trying to win a seat for the WSOP on Pokerstars this week and have been frustrated by a really bad run of luck at just the wrong time. The 5 tournaments I’ve played have seen me finish 11th, 16th, 19th, 8th and 22nd out of the usual 350 runners when a top 3 finish is required to win a seat. Very annoying.

With those two Henry Cecil runners already covered, as a saver, I’ll be having 3 doubles and a treble on…

Aviate (The Oaks)
Fame And Glory (Coronation Cup)
Jan Vermeer (Derby)

That should just about use up all my remaining holiday spending money but I’ll have to remember to keep £5.50 to get back over the bridge into Wales…..

Festival Trends

Our Epsom Guide last year was probably one of the best we produced with plenty of winners (up to 14/1) over the two days and included the forecast in both the Oaks and Derby, the tricast in the second race of the meeting, two ’lay’ horses which both got beat and the day 1 Placepot 154 times!

This years guide covers all 14 races at the two day meeting and is now ready for download. Our 2010 Derby and Oaks Ante-Post guide highlighted two horses that have since been heavily supported and now sit at the head of the betting markets.

The Epsom Guide is available for just £14.95. Click below to get your copy…..

Scoop6 / Lottery Syndicate

After wading through our 87 lotto lines it appears we managed a paltry 2 lines of 3 numbers which equates to just £20. I’ve re-invested the £20 in another 20 lines for Saturday’s draw. I’m back home later today so I’ll post the numbers then which will be in plenty of time for the draw…..

Good luck,
Gavin.
