The heavy ground is knackering the trobs at the moment. Still at least I know not to do them on there. Protect the bank and all that.

cheers John again +1.6 profit on the ones I got matched on.

Great work again!

14:40 Stratford. Call of the Wild not matched

14:48 Lingfield. Modern News --0.4

13:20 Ffos Las. Zinc White not matched

17:30 Chelmsford. Dynamic Force +1.0

14:20 Clonmel. Guily Billy +1.0

Top man. I know a couple of people got matched on call of the wild. Modern News was run close so quite happy with that selection.

Zinc white drifted from evens to 4.76 and finished dead last lol

Odds On Lays 28/10/21

I will be laying these 20 seconds out via BFbotmanager. If they are not odds on they will be no bets.

14:40 Stratford. Call of the Wild. Obvious competition in Onemorefortheroad. Switching to Hurdles for the first time.

14:48 Lingfield. Modern News. First time on the crappy allweather. Up against a couple of decent horses.

13:20 Ffos Las. Zinc White. First run since may and switch from flat to the hurdles. Up against an LTO Hurdles Winner.

17:30 Chelmsford. Dynamic Force. It’s profitable laying all short odds favourites at Chelmsford. Terrible last time out and first time on this surface.

14:20 Clonmel. Guily Billy. First ever race. Heavy ground may not suit.

John Folan

Bit naff but these bounce around. 1.6 lost

John Folan

No trobs today. Oscar Nomination pulled up yesterday when travelling well. Shame really. One to watch tho

Odds On Lays 27/10

I will be laying these 20 seconds out via BFbotmanager. If they are not odds on they will be no bets.

12:55 Fakenham Grandeur Dame. Not run since February. Obvious challengers in Hermes Bellevue and Nine Nine Nine

13:55 Taunton Time To Tinker. Laying this one in honour of Richard Latimer… Also it’s up against Honneur Dajonc who won on the 13th October. Hasn’t run since March. This will be a no bet if Honneur Dajonc is a non runner.

16:40 Kempton Equitation Not great recent form and new to this surface. Actually been pretty awful this year.

Washington No Bet Over 2.0

John Folan

A trob selection. 3.5-9 odds range as usual

Odds On Lays 26/10

I will be laying these 20 seconds out via BFbotmanager. If they are not odds on they will be no bets.

13:55 Chepstow. Harry’s Star. First run since April. Significantly up in trip. Going may not suit

13:10 Curragh. New York City. Not great last time out on this course. Question mark over the going? Up against a couple of prospects that might cause problems

15:50 Catterick. Metal Man. Never won a race. Never run on soft ground. Fancy The Resdev Way for this one.

13:38 Bangor. Go Dante. Two very obvious challengers in the next two favourites. Anyones race.

14:13 Bangor. Washington. LTO Winner but up against three other LTO’s. One of whom actually won on hurdles. Again anyones race.

John Folan

Poor today. But this happens on these. As I’ve mentioned a hundred times or so. Back tomorrow

Afternoon folks,

I've been sat at work thinking about horse racing and thought there must be a strategy surrounding laying favourites. I am specifically thinking about laying odds on favourites...

However, before I delve deep into research and paper trading, have any of you done this already? May save me months of testing!

Otherwise, on my day off tomorrow I shall begin!

Thanks folks.

Read my daily posts . Glad to see there is a like minded person on here. Hold off on paper trading though. Horse software is in beta next week and it has back testing.

In the meantime in my bio is a link to my horse racing resources. Adrian Massey has done a bucket load of research into this. You can also produce custom reports off his site. Bit fiddly but interesting stats.

Sadly the going took care of any potential trobs. Going to have another look at the Irish racing as it’s heavy at both courses there.

@john-folan hey mate do you trade the Melbourne Cup carnival by any chance?

No I normally stay away from big competitions for trading. Except for scalping. It’s a scalpers paradise

Fair enough mate.

Just had a massive slow moment there, was looking at 25/10 and thinking "how on earth is that odds on?!"

Then I realised it was the date

I'm putting the keyboard down now before I hurt myself
