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

Odds On Favourite Lays 25/10
15:15 Redcar. Forever Forward. Make up your mind if he is a hurdler or not. Not won a race. Blinkers on for the first time. More inclined to look at Bad Rabbit. Probably needs a non runner to drop it to odds on.
13:20 Ayr. The Player Queen. Not run a hurdles before. Not run since April and significantly up in trip. Easy to oppose at this cheap price.
14:15 Leicester. Tolstoy. Didn’t have to go much past it’s last three races to add this to the lay list.
18:00 Newcastle. Antarah. First ever race and it’s odds on favourite? Savvy Victory and Million Thanks both look like they will compete.

Utterly superb day today. Bit disappointing in the lack of trob selections lately but I know what works with those so will be patient. Bare with the odds on
lays as there will be a lot of losers. However there isn’t that much variance so never takes much to get back in front. I love a system but I really don’t have one for these. Please feel free to pull me up on my reasoning. Charles and Richard used to when they were active members and it made me a better trader. One week to go to the horse software beta!!One week!!!!!
Brilliant!

3:00 Wincanton. Donning. First time on the hurdles. Up against an LTO in Mr Allegro. Plus a pretty decent hurdler in Burristo If both of these are a non runner then this is a no bet.
14:10 Wincanton Shearer. Hugely up in trip and a switch in discipline. First time hurdler always worth opposing.
13:10 Galway. Jumping Jet. Was an LTO winner but six months ago and that was on the NHF. This is a hurdle and he is up against fitter horses with reasonable records.
14:00 Wexford Queens Brook. Competitive top 3. 11 month absence and no win for a year.
15:45 Wexford. Fire Attack. Terrible recent record. Six months off and a switch in discipline. Easy to oppose.Great work again so far..........
3:00 Wincanton Sonning +0.5
14:10 Wincanton Shearer. +0.5
13:10 Galway. Jumping Jet +0.5
14:00 Wexford Queens Brook didn’t match
15:45 Wexford. Fire Attack.
Well chuffed with those. Would still oppose Fire Attack. 1.63 was the price I got.
I’ll keep plugging away at these. Be even more fun now the heavy ground starts to rear it’s head

Odds On Lays 23/10
I will lay these just before the off. If they are not below 2.0 they are a no bet.
15:15 Doncaster Luxembourg. Highly competitive race. May not handle the soft ground having never run on it before.
16:59 Chelmsford Spirit Catcher. Under a penalty. Up against a very good horse in Windseeker. If Windseeker is a non runner this is no bet.
13:20 Galway Iberique Du Seuil. Significant increase in trip. So a question mark over stamina.
15:02 Galway Colonel Mustard. Not won for a year. Two highly competitive horses among the other runners. First run since April.
I didn’t do Iberique as it was over two.
-
I did four of yours -
15:15 Doncaster Luxembourg.
16:59 Chelmsford Spirit Catcher.
13:20 Galway Iberique Du Seuil.
15:02 Galway Colonel Mustard.actually ended 0.25 pts up
-
Not been a single selection for the trobs for a while. They just need the jumps to bed in

Additionally in the 16:40 Cheltenham Does He Know. Significantly up in trip and up against two decent opponents.
Done at the finish. Nuts. Losing day today no matter what happens at the end
Maybe I should stick to the AW. 1.5 down. This is not doing anything it hasn’t before.

Tomorrows will be up a little later tomorrow . I’ve got some running around to do first thing. They will be done before the first odds on races though.

I’ve knocked up a bot for these. Will be changing things slightly in that getting on at just before the off or BSP. Will still be odds on only. I’ll also make the bot available on my Bfbot thread once I’ve made sure it works.
I’ll still post all selections in the morning. Anything that drifts over 2.0 will be a no bet. The reason for this is 90% are steaming and we can lay at better prices nearer the race.
