jagfox Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Relatively low key Saturday with Royal Ascot starting Tuesday. I went for an EW Heinz bet but one pulled out already... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameofthrones Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 5.35 Ascot - Johnny Drama 10/1. Won twice this year already and was bought for new owners specifically for this race so fingers crossed it works out well for them. Hopefully it jumps out well, leads and doesn't get headed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameofthrones Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 5.40 Thirsk - Explain (ew) current odds 9/1 Started staying on well last race. Hopefully will strip fitter for that run. Good ew odds so hopefully a free bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameofthrones Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not going to get rich tonight but 6.55 Newbury - Man of the Night is supposedly a 'good thing'. A bit unsure as Hannon has 4 in the race 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser_soze Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Off to my 1st ever race meeting at Musselburgh tomorrow, not a huge punter on the horses so any tips on how to read form or any tips in general would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers in advance Most of the stalls are a fiver minimum (or £2.50 each way). And when placing a bet you say something like “5 on 3” (£5 on horse number 3, you don’t refer to it’s name). For fun, I usually put on a small stakes placepot bet (usually from the stall inside where the bar is, at the back of the stand just to the left of the finish line). You just pick a horse to win each race and you need all 6/7 to win. It’s a shit load of money but also extremely unlikely you’ll win it. As for form, see to be honest, if you’re just going for a day out I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Next to form you’ll have a bunch of numbers like 34124 (position where the horse finished, races are from left to right being the latest run). Brian Hughes is an excellent jockey and usually does really well at Scottish meets so I’d keep an eye on he is riding. Keith Dalgliesh is a local trainer and has been in good form as well. Pints are expensive but I guess that’s to be expected. It is a really good day out though and believe tomorrow is supposed to have a good card so it should be good.

It's a flat meeting mate you are highly unlikely to see Brian Hughes riding. Sometimes the racecard can give you decent tips with a wee write up on the horses chances There will be numbers usually in brackets next to the horses name. This is usually a guide for the stalls (stalls being where the horses start and not the bookies as referred above) position. If the stalls are on the far side then u usually want the stalls nearest the rails. Doesn't always happen but its difficult for horses to win from an outside draw. Think of it as an athletics track but all starting from the same position whereas in athletics races on a round track the starting positions are staggered. Enjoy yer day and best of luck.

keyser_soze Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Cheers guys, great day out and had 3 winners, pick of the bunch was £100 on Cape Victory @7/2 in the 18.45. Also had £20 on Lagenda in the first @7/2 and £10 e/w on Brother McGonagal @ 8/1. Even with the losing bets I ended the day about £300 up. Cracking day out and much alcohol consumed. Will definately be doing it again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For somebody that's no a huge punter I'd like to know what you consider a huge bet when you've put £100 on a race Always good to come away from the races wi money in yer wallet though. Well done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done By that time I was up a few quid and it was more of an alcohol induced bet than anything else, I had budgeted for £20 per race but seeing as I was up Edited September 15, 2019 by keyser_soze 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
