Bit of Dob/Trob action. Might not hit the 3.5-9 odds filters but I know some of you have success trading them different ways outside of them.

Laid first two faves
Ludlow 14:05
Thurles 13:15
Thurles 15:30

Around a point total liability on each race

21/10 Odds On Lays

13:00 Ludlow Full Of Light @1.48. The National Hunt Flat does not equal a hurdle race. He is favourite because he won last time out but there has to be a question mark against him. Could have a challenger in Clear The Runway.

13:30 Ludlow Sinndarella @1.84. Obvious challenger in Sporting Scopey in this three horse race. Also up in trip.

1.1 loss on the day

[John Folan]

Non runner has cut the odds on the 16:55 right down. I’m only looking at a 1.1 points loss today now. Good that they adjust your liability if this happens. They reduced my lay price to 1.23

16:33 Worcester Uncaver @1.88. Utter pile of crap the last two times out. Not run much at all the last year. Straight fight between her and the second favourite.

Bleurgh. Second favourite just run out of steam

@john-folan John - know nothing about the horses and unlikely to trade them for some considerable time but really appreciating your informed comments regarding the prices, an education on going and really interesting ! Thank you !

Agree i know a little bit about horses only from match betting. I have wanted to start trading horses thing has been helpful

It’s about working out what information is best for you. Some of the comments from Timeform and such like are designed to get you backing them when they are obviously priced too low on form DSLR, inrunning price performance.

Good to hear it. Hopefully lots more learning to come for all of us with the new horse software.

Sadly the second didn’t play ball. Still a nice profit though. These are very much a work in progress but they have done well so far. As usual in my trading the upside outweighs the down so I only need to be right about half the time.

nice work on these!

Thanks. It was just an idea. So laying the top two(probably safest if on two’s/three’s. Gives a low liability lay of two horses. You need something in the 4/5 range for the third and or fourth favourite to provide a threat. This can probably be backtested on the horse software when I get my hands on it.

@john-folan Cheers for these John !!!

Odds on lays 20/10

16:55 Kempton Bashful @1.40. Those magic words “ran respectfully when 5th”. Never set the world on fire looking at previous results. Poor draw as well. Should be at twos or threes at the least.

14:40 Newmarket Al [email protected]. Run once and finished second so the usual market overreaction. Upped in trip so untested at distance. Up against some interesting untested horses. Would probably put this one at 3’s
