DAY 509 " RESULTS PART 2 THE GAMBLING GODS !! "

2012-01-16T15:20:00.000-08:00

Now onto The Irish Boys, Tips From Ireland

Another week of frustration with the gambling gods having no mercy on the selections. Seem to be getting decent prices int he morning and the money comes and just when it looks like glory, the turn comes. The NAP earlier in the week keeping me to smallloss this week but overall another frustrating week and it could of easily been a different story with some luck in running.

What makes it worse is a good number of the past selctions have gone in worth flying colours the past 2 weeks something I will have to have a look at.

I have being playing around with introducing a system of backing the eyecatching selections from both services and had some good results in the past from this. Over the next month I will be making notes of all eyecatching horses and introducing a sytem to monitor and highlight the future races of these horses. I will hopefully have a bit more time over the next couple of month so will try to capture this is my weeks results which could give a new good angle to the Playing It Safe blog.

DAY 508 " ONWARDS AND UPWARDS "

2012-01-15T16:49:00.000-08:00

Been a busy week in work so been struggling to update the blog this week.

Good news though as another week of profit and most of all my time booked off work and approved for the Cheltenham festival and my local Aintree piss up with the lads at aintree with all the scouse housewives !!!

Also highlight of the week for me was wathcing a brillaint movie Warhorse in the flicks with my son, must be getting old as it had me in tears and my 12 year old thought it was as funny as fuck !!!!! Don't think he will ever let me live it down as now the whole word knows !!!!

Amazing movie and a must see for anyone........

Back to the business end and starting first of all with Roger Green Racing and nice to see Mr Greens service continue the year in good profit.

Roger Gren Racing weekly results + 134.80

Doncaster 2.50 Arrow Barrow 1 pt ew at 10/1 with VC Bet & Hills Lost - £20

Won here last month in class 5 handicap hurdle over 2 miles Very well backed that day from 9/2 to 5/2.
Fell at the second flight in a similar race at Wetherby on boxing day. Again sent off favourite
Up in class here, but no weight and an extra 3 furlongs will help
Decent odds for an ew bet

Doncaster 3.55 This Is Me 3 pt win at 100/30 with Bet 365 & Ladbrokes - LOST - £30

Strong word today for this 4 year old
Stable knows how to get them ready for bumpers and Noel Fehily goes up for this one booked ride
Well worth taking on the Favourite Shotavodka who won a ladies flat race at Tramore last OctoberHas since joined David Pipe but has to give 16 lbs to This Is Me, which is a very big ask

Catterick 2.15 Shaking Hands 2 pt win at 7/2 with VC Bet & Coral - Lost - £20

This is the 3m 6f North Yorkshire Grand National and seems to be the ideal race for this west country raider
David Pipe's charge is an out and out stayer having been beaten just 1/2 length in the Devon Marathon at Exeter ( 4 miles) That was in early December, and followed up with a third at Wincanton on boxing day. May have found the track a bit sharp there Usually races up with the pace, and todays trip could prove ideal for him to attempt to run them off their feet

Huntingdon 3.20 Dreambrook Lady 2 pt win at 3/1 with Ladbrokes & Coral - Won + £60

Jeremy Scott goes from strength to strength ( had a 40/1 winner yesterday)
This mare is just the sort he does well with. She has had 4 runs todate, and is now in her first handicap
This is a mares novices hurdle and she has a good chance based on her last run at Hereford last month
She was in contention approaching the last but weakened. She also stumbled on landing and would have finished in the frame
If she makes the expected improvement today she should run well

Warwick 1.25 Alfie Spinner 4 pt win at 7/2 with ToteSport & Bet Fred - LOST - £60

Very significant that stable jockey comes here to ride Alfie when he could be on the hot favourite for the Lanzarote in Swincombe Flame

Frascati Park & Golden Chieftan must be taken on here as they both make mistakes jumping. Not sure if Frascati Park will like going left handed

Court Victory could be anything , and is a winner without a penalty having been disqualified at Uttoxeter when first pass the post

Alfie has been racing in decent novice company such as Grand Crus, Sonofvic & Viking Blond and his experience can count here

Warwick 2.00 Marodima 4pt win at 100/30 with Bet 365 & BetFred - WON + £ 199.80

Jamie Snowden runs him again here before the handicapper gets hold of him

Won by over 50l at Plumpton on Thursday and has a 7lb penalty

But the run at Plumpton was his first since last June, so he is still a fresh horse and can make every yard again this afternoon

Warwick 2.30 Simonside 1 pt ew at 14/1 with Stan James & Betfair - LOST - £20

Now nine years old and races with much success under both codes
In the form of his life over hurdles, winning at Wetherby on Boxing Day
That was on soft ground over 2m 6f and he made every yard carrying 11-2lbs
Earlier in December he was beaten a nose at Wetherby over 3m 1f
Whilst this is an obvious step up in class, In my opinion he has a decent ew chance
He races with just 10-2lbs, but more significantly he will get the trip, unlike many in the race

Warwick 3.40 Strongbows Legend 1 pt ew at 10/1 with Bet 365 & S James placed + £15

Made every yard at Hereford in December over 3m 1f carrying 11-8lbs
Very heavily backed from 4/1 to 11/4 fav. Won very easily indeed
Was again heavily backed at Plumpton 12 days ago in the Sussex National ( 3m 5f)
He was close up when hitting the 10th and unseating
This was a serious step up in class but he was backed off the boards although saddled with 11-12lbs Today's race is a huge step up in class, but he is off bottom weight and with excellent conditional , Kielan Woods, claiming 5lbs, he is good value
Cheek pieces have helped this horse, and with just 9-9lbs on his back he could take some pegging back

Kempton 2.50 Timesawastin 1 pt ew at 22/1 with Bet 365 & VC Bet ( Bet 365 paying 5 places) LOST - £20

This is the Lanzarote Hurdle, a very open and competitive handicap.
Younger horses tend to win this, and it is ver difficult to win carrying much over 11st
This horse is totally unexposed only having 7 runs to date and he is a six year old
In his first novice hurdle he finished third behind Owen glendower & Mister Hyde. Then finished behind Problema Tic Won his maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in March, and would have followed up there in April as he was 12l clear when falling In October he won a poor novice at N abbot
He was only beaten two lengths at Cheltenham last November by Rangito in a handicap over todays trip
10-5lbs today gives him a big chance as the stables horses are now running well

Navan 2.0 Some Say 1 pt ew at 8/1 with Bet 365 & Hills - LOST - £20

Looks a sound each way bet following her run at Naas last Sunday
She was a well backed favourite in a conditional jockeys handicap and she led until after the last. She then weakened on the run in This is a lower grade handicap and is the easiest chance she has had to date in handicap company ( 80-109) Usual pilot David Casey back on board, and they will be looking to recoup last weeks losses

DAY 503 " WEEKLY RESULTS "

2012-01-08T11:45:00.000-08:00

First post of my weekly results with the new betting banks in place for 2012.....

New strategy for both services will remain in test mode for the first month and I will tweak if required throughout the month to come.

Starting first of all with Roger Green Racing and a good start for 2012.

New betting bank of £4000.00

5pt win bets will now be £100 per bet.

4pt win bets will now be £60 per bet

3pt win bets will be £30

2pt will be £20

1pt bets £10

Hereford 1.30 Cruise in Style 1 pt ew at 10/1 with Bet 365 & Betfair
Lost -£20

Putting this up, not because I think she will win ( may well do) but is outstanding ew value
In my opinion this is a completely false market where the favourite , Johnny Owen is 4/9 and it is 10/1 bar
Johnny Owen bolted up at Southwell 4 days ago, having shown little form , albeit lightly raced.
He has a 7 lb penalty today, and his price is a reflection of the poor quality of the field
Cruise in Style was in touch when UR 3 out at Wincanton last time Earlier had finished second here over today's trip and third at Uttoxeter. Both were much better races than this We make a profit if she makes the frame and at double figure odds is really good value

Wincanton 2.20 Good Order 4 pt win at 7/4 with Bet 365 & Hills

WON 5/2 BET 365 BOG + £ 150.00

Not a big price I know, but I have him in my book at
around even money so we have to have a bet
Very lightly raced and much improvement to come
Finished second to Frontier Spirit At Ffos las in November and has been plenty of time to recover
Frontier Spirit has since won and been beaten a nose when 3 l clear after jumping the last
Stable very keen that Paddy Brennan came down to Wincanton to ride this one this afternoon

Wincanton 2.50 Rougham 2 pt win at 7/1 with Sky Bet & VC Bet

Lost -£20

Not the greatest jumper in the world, but has had intensive schooling at home in recent weeks
Is on a fair mark and is a course winner over hurdles
I suspect Rhys Flint will try and make every yard and if is jumping holds up, he could take some pegging back

Sandown 3.10 Hold on Julio 4 pt win at 100/30 with Bet 365 & Hills

WON + 199.80

Reluctantly pass over a favourite in Exmoor Ranger who has never won off this mark and has taken time to get over his last race Master of The Hall could be anything, but has to give 17 lbs to my selection
Prolific point to point winner who won as he liked here over this trip in November
Heavily backed that day and duly obliged
Has been treated for ringworm which is no problem now and is 3 lb out of the handicap
Must have a big chance off bottom weight

Sandown 3.45 Attaglance 2 pt ew at 12/1 with Bet 365 & Hills

PU LOST - £40

Malcolm Jefferson seldom sends his horses South unless he feels they have a live chance
On his best form with Wins at tough tracks like Hexham & Carlisle he is a good ew bet
Paddy Brennan goes to Wincanton so Malcolm has booked Ruby Walsh to ride
Sneaking feeling he will try and make all and bring his stamina into play

Ludlow 1.30 Akarshan 4 pt win at 9/2 with Bet 365 & Stan James

LOST -£60

This looks to have an outstanding chance in my book as long is he is fit after nearly a nine month absence ( stable more than capable of getting them ready first time out) Likely favourite will be Forty Five who had a very hard race at Leicester just 8 days ago.
He is now a 10 year old who has not won for nearly 3 years and is a maiden over fences. So it is reasonable to take him on Autumn Spirit is the other relatively short priced contender and he beat Akarshan by 5 lengths at Leicester last March over 2 miles
Akarshan has a massive turn round in the weights today ... no less than 24 lbs. He ran well here in a better race over today's trip last march when he finished third
Autumn Spirit would have completed a three timer had he not fallen at the last in his last run in October at Kempton Park, but at today's weights he should have all to do being 24 lbs worse off with my selection. I reckon Akarshan

Southwell 3.10 True Blue 1pt ew at 16/1 with S James & Betfair

Lost -£20

This is only a five year old from a powerful stable who has yet to find his true form He won twice when point to pointing and was sent off even money fav for his bumper race at Towcester last month
He led for a long way and finished 4th beaten 5 l
Again sent of fav at Taunton in November in novice hurdle and finished tailed off
A well beaten 6th at Towcester on boxing day
Clearly has ability and at double figure odds is worth an ew bet

Plumpton 2.15 Oscar Charlie 2 pt win at 5/1 with Bet 365 & T Sport

WON + £100
Had his first run for new stable here 2 weeks ago when he was backed down from 8/1 to 4's That was in a class 5 chase over todays trip. He finished second on soft ground and whist he had no chance with the winner he did stay on
Back over hurdles today in a poor race. I think he could handle the heavy ground today and is at the bottom of the handicap
Very lightly raced for a seven year old

Plumpton 2.45 Diamond Brook 3 pt win at 9/2 with Coral & Ladbrokes

UR LOST - £30

Finished 4th in the Devon Marathon chase at Exeter a month ago over 4 miles
This is the valuable Sussex National over 3m 5f and there is no doubt that he will get the trip and handle the ground Often gets too far behind early on, but I suspect that favourite Strongbows Legend will try and make every yard and set a steady pace to make sure he gets home in this tiring ground. This should help Diamond Broook lay up with the pace

Cheltenham 12.30 Imperial Circus 1 pt ew at 10/1 with Totesport & Bet Fred

Lost -£20

Nicky Hendersons horse, Master of the Game, is strongly fancied but is way too short in price which gives us some ew value Imperial Circus, came 6th in a very hot novice hurdle at Ascot in November 2010, The race has produced several quality winners Ran in a 3 mile novice hurdle at Taunton on only his second run last month, beating a decent sort in Rolling Aces Drop back to 2m 4f today will not be a problem the way he travels, and if the favourite is not up to it, we have a big chance

Cheltenham 2.10 Havingotasoobydo 2 pt ew at 13/2 with Bet 365 & Hills

Fell Lost - £40

Although he is 4lb out of the handicap, this step up in trip could be the answer His last two runs have been here at Cheltenham where he has jumped adequately. Second behind Tanks for that, and third behind Astracad is decent form
He has won over this trip twice over hurdles and has a sound chance of his featherweight

I was onto a good start on New years day when I had my first Cheltenham winner of the year with a good win from Calgary Bay but throughout the week the dreaded seconditus curse started and the best the selections could manage was places. Slightly frustrating as the selections where well backed and I was managing to secure a good price at time of sending......

DAY 501 " GOOD START TO THE NEW YEAR "

2012-01-07T11:51:00.000-08:00

Nice couple of winners today from Roger Green Racing to start the first week of the year in profit tot he new betting bank system.

The two strong from Rogers service doing the business to my new betting bank of £60 for the 4 pointers.

GOOD ORDER 4 pt win at 7/4 was the first to go out from the Tom George yard ridden by Paddy Brennan who drifted out in the betting to 5/2 to give me a Bet 365 BOG bonus for the day.

HOLD ON JULIO 4pt win at 100/3 Alan King's progressive chaser was sent off the 5-2 market leader despite being three pounds out of the handicap and was always travelling strongly slamming the opposition by 9 lengths.

Nice to see Rogers service in top form and I looking forward to the next 3 months on the long road to the Cheltenham Festival with the service.

It's Roger Greens 25th Anniversary as a tipster this year where Roger will be Celebrating his annivesary with his Cheltenham Festival Special. I have followed Roger specials year on year and have it has proved profitable since I have been followng the service.

Full details are avavilble at his website www.rogergreenracing.co.uk together with a suggested betting bank for the Cheltenham Festival.

It's going to be a very interesting build up to Chelteham for the blog and my first objective is to build the bank for the festival. I have already booked the tickets and hotel and already starting to become obsessed with the banter I have been reading. I am yet to have a bet antepost but will be suggesting a few horses to look out for over the next few weeks.

Back tomorrow with the full results for the first week of the new year.....

Nice comeback for The Irish Boys Tips From Ireland today with Last Instalment a nap bet doing the business in fine style at Leopardstown which I managed to back at 3-1 bringing in a profit of £160 for the day. The other selection a win bet on Rubi Light finished second to Synchronised who must of improved about two stone on ratings and i'm sure a lot of people got burnt.

Still a good few days at the Leopardstown festival in Ireland and I hope The Irish Boys can finish the month in good style.

Reflecting back on the year it's been another excellent year for the betting bank and I remain in a very good position going into 2012 but there area few changes to be decided but more of that in my first post for 2012.

DAY 443 "SANTA CALLS AGAIN !! "

2011-12-27T13:17:00.001-08:00

Roger Green Racing doing the business in fine style and another great day which puts me well ahead going into the new year....

I said in my blog yesterday that i thought the roger green service was coming good 23 pts profit yesterday and followed up with two winners today , both 3 pt win bets Albion Wood at 7/4 ( advised at 3/1) and Kentford Grey Lady at 11/4
He also advised having 2 pts ew on Cannington Brook at 14/1 with Bet 365 & Paddy Power as they were paying 1/4 odds five places. Backed down from 14/1 to 15/2 he finished fifth. Happy days over 40 pts profit in last 2 days.

I will work out the full Profit for the month tonight and be back wit a full update and will be making some changes to the banks staking system. As my regular readers will be fully aware it's time to take note when Rogers service gets into a good run I have had some of my record breaking months over the years and I fully expect his service to take off now the jumps season is into full flow.

Back with the full details soon as I have a bit of working out to do......

ROGER GREEN RACING WEEK TO DATE + 46.75 PTS PROFIT (+ 467.50)

Chepstow 2.10 ( The Welsh Grand National ) Cannington Brook 2 pt ew at 14/1 with Bet 365 & Paddy Power ( 1/4 odds 5 places ) 5TH + 5

two horses have carried more than 11st to victory in the last 14 runnings, and one of those was last years winner, Synchronised.
Several nicely weighted horses in the race, including Cappa Bleu, Galaxy Rock, Viking Blond, As de Fer & Giles Cross
I am really strong about Cannington Brook and think he represents excellent each way value with 1/4 odds five places with Bet 365 & P Power
This seven year old has only had 9 races, and has been in the frame for seven of them and the fact that the stable has Hey Big Spender heading the weights means he gets in on 10st 2lbs
Won the Tommy Whittle at Haydock earlier in the month, hanging on from Our Island by a length on desperate ground. Miles clear of the rest and carried 10st 9lbs, plus heavily gambled in from 9/2 to 3/1
Earlier in the month, finished a well beaten third here in a novices chase behind Teaforthree & Restless Harry
Big chance today off 10st 2lbs with Tom Obrien again riding ( Tom has won the welsh National before on Dream alliance)
Races prominently which is so important in this sort of race on heavy ground. Expect to see him up there setting the pace with Giles Cross who rates the biggest danger

Chepstow 3.15 Ambion Wood 3 pt win at 3/1 with VC Bet WON +9

Won his bumper easily enough at Uttoxeter in March.
Started this season in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell where he finished third behind Fox Appeal & Karinga Dancer
Fox Appeal has franked the form by winning a handicap at Taunton a few days ago, carrying 11st 9lbs.
early december, he finished second at Exeter in a novice hurdle with Close House some 12 l behind in third place
Close House has since come out and won at Towcester
Nothing of that class here, and the extra trip looks sure to help Ambion Wood

Kempton 2.05 Kentford Grey Lady 3 pt win at 11/4 - WON +8.25

Was third in a mares novice at exeter behind Dream Function & Swincombe Flame.
Very good form as Swincombe Flame is one of the best novice hurdlers around
Later in November, kentford won at Newbury , beating Miss Milbourne and Ballyquinn Queen by 5 l & 9 l
Miss Milbourne beat a decent sort at Fontwell yesterday by 12 l after being backed off the boards
The fourth horse in the Newbury race won by Kentford Grey Lady, Tempest River, won at Hereford a few days ago
So the form is rock solid and she receives weight from the principals in this mares only handicap

Kempton 3.40 Knight Pass 5 pts win at 9/2 with Ladbrokes WON + 22.5

Strongest bet of the day, a five pointer !

Held in very high regard by his trainer, this 5 yr old makes his Handicap debut this afternoon
Won two bumpers last season. Won easily at Sandown where three of the placec horses have since won

Won comfortably in his novice hurdle at Exeter over 2m1f and was sent off odds on favourite earlier this month at Sandown

Was well beaten on the day by Tetlami who runs in the first race on the card this afternoon. He can frank the form, and Knight Pass was eased from the last when no chance with first two...Up in trip today to 2m 5f looks to be ideal and is well in on 11st 2lbs in what seems to be a moderate handicap

Wincanton 12.30 Cruise in Style 2 pt ew at 13/2 with S James - LOST -4
Promising in two handicaps in November finishing 3rd at Uttoxeter and second at Hereford
Now in a novices handicap hurdle and has just 10st 6lbs
She is no world beater, but with the excellent James Best ( ridden 3 winners in last 2 weeks) taking off 7lbs. she must be therabouts carrying 9st 13lbs if running her race

Wetherby 1.45 Sarando 1 pt ew at 8/1 with S James & hills LOST -2

The valuable Rowland Meyrick Chase, where Always Right has been raised 8 lbs for his kelso win. Good between the flags so may still be progressive
But the 6 year old Sarando is un exposed over fences
Beaten a neck in a class 2 novices chase at Aintree in April, before winning a 3 mile chase at carlisle in November
Then ran in the hennesey at newbury and was there with every chance and going well when falling at the 16th fence
A clear round should see him go very close

Wetherby 2.20 Knight Valiant 1 pt ew at 16/1 with Boyle Sports LOST -2

Heavily backed in a conditionals handicap at carlisle last month when finishing second
looked to be cruising two out, but eas caught flat footed and was beaten 1 1/2 l altough staying on at the finish
That was over 2m 3f and with campbell gillies back on board and back up to 2m 6f has a good chance today

Fontwell 1.30 Tweedledrum 2 pt win at 11/2 with Sporting Bet LOST -2

Outsider ( 100/1) when second 11 days ago at Exeter on heavy ground over 2m 3f
She won a handicap on the flat at chepstow so clearly has some ability
I was at exeter when she came second , and was impressed with the way she stayed on and saw her race out
The extra furlong today is no problem and she could take this mares only novice hurdle as she looks sure to have improved again

Towcester 3.00 Ukranian Star 3 pt win at 3/1 with S James WON 7/2 BOG + 9

Made every yard in a handicap hurdle over 3m 2f at Hereford two weeks ago
He wore blinkers for the first time at Hereford and keeps them on today
Also races off the same mark today, so if his jumping holds up he has a clear chance at the weights

Hereford 2.10 Hassadin 2pt ew at 13/2 with Bet365 & Coral - 2ND 11-1 BOG + 3.5

The gamble of the season is going on in this race on a horse called Grams & Ounces
7/1 early morning and now 7/4 in places !! Thats a lot of a money down for sure
These gambles to come off from time to time, but it is difficult to make a strong case for this one
Does however, give us a bit of value about Hassadin who finished second here over this trip 3 weeks ago
He was beaten a head by Jackers ( reapposes today) in class 5 race
That was his first run over hurdles for sometime having been off the track for over a year. will strip a lot fitter today
Had a pipe opener on the AW at Wolverhampton in October .

Hereford 3.10 The Hudnalls 2 pt win at 4/1 with T sport - LOST -4

Jim Old has a small string in training these days, but is still one of the shrewdest in the game
Seems to have found a dreadful race here in which the Hudnalls has top weight
Has won round here over this trip ( hurdles) and on soft ground
Is pretty one paced, but significant that Jim has booked Timmy Murphy today who will try and nurse him round and be staying on at the end

Taunton 2.00 Calico Rose 2pt ew at 8/1 with Bet 365 & VC Bet - LOST -4

Attractive ew price for this course & distance winner who will probably try and make every yard
Ed Glassonbury rode her to win here, and rides again today taking off 7lbs which could be the key
Only has to reproduce the form of her last run at Wincanton to have a big chance

Taunton 2.30 Triple Bluff 1 pt ew at 6/1 with Bet 365 & VC Bet - WON + 7.5

Is well fancied today and reportedly done a lot of work at home
Is a C & D winner and with James Best taking off 7lbs, carrying just 10st

Onto The Irish Boys and the gambling gods certainly not playing at the moment. Another frustraing day today with Giles Cross looking like he was going to go clear finishing second and a nap being backed off the boards to finish unplaced. Been a tough couple of weeks for The Irish service after a good start to the month and hope the turning point comes soon. Just the one winner for the week with Fahamore doing the business but another losing week overall.

DAY 442 " BOXING DAY CHRISTMAS BONUS !!! "

2011-12-26T12:59:00.000-08:00

Hope all my fellow bloggers and readers have had a brilliant Christmas, been a busy week with the last minute rush at work and the last minute shopping for me and the family !!!!

Been another great weeks for Roger Green Racing, as my regular readers know I usually have a good personal bet on his five pointers as well as the standard blog bets and today was no different so very much welcomed the cash bet ( always bet the 5 pointers personally as cash bets with my local bookies and sure a ban is imminent as I get a unwelcome reception and had to go back to the shop for my cash !!! )

His last 5 pointer max bet Grandouet won at 100/30, but I was so pleased to get a 5 point bet on boxing day, Knight Pass at 9/2 ( i got 5's ) five point win , wins by 2 lengths !
Plus he also tipped a 3 pt win bet on Ukranian Star who won at 7/2. Very, very happy
I am getting excited now, as I know that between now and the Grand national meeting in April this service does well.

The Irish boys, Tips From Ireland had a winner today at 3/1 , but are still going through a lean spell. They are good enough to turn it round and I fully expect them to come back strong.

A little frustrating as they had a amazing start to December with a good few nice priced winners but had little luck in running the past couple of weeks. I'm still well ahead since I started following them in May and teh betting bank remains in a strong position.

Making a change for the year to my betting strategy for Roger Green Racing and switching some cash around and slightly tweaking the point system on both the services I use. As I mentioned earlier January to March is usually prime time for Roger Green service and I think it will be a shrewd move.

Looking to add another service in the new year, but 3 is the maximum I will have. Still on the look out for a new service but I have alos found a couple of fantastic blogs which I like the look of lately which offer good advice. If anyone can recommend a good tipster service out there free or subscription I would appreciate any help. I am also willing to proof any service free of charge for a month on my blog if they are willing top give me a free trial.

Will be back tomorrow as I should have plenty of time as I hoep to be watching the Welsh national and plenty of action from the festival over in Ireland.

Finally a quick mention for Kauto Star - simply the best and a ambassador for the sport, I would love to see him go on and win at the festival !!!!

Onwrds and upwards.

DAY 441 " SLOGGING IT OUT "

2011-12-18T04:58:00.000-08:00

A frustrating week and a step backwards in the wrong direction with both services under performing and a loss for the week and not really getting a good run out of all the selections. A step in the wrong direction with just one winner from Roger Green Racing and nothing but a place from The Irish boys, Tips From Irleand, I expect much better !!!!

Weather going to be dreadfull for the coming weeks and with some top class racing on the way it's going to be a interesting couple of weeks to see how the services I use stand up to the challenge..
Bank still remains in place and still in a good position to move forwards, no changes as yet to the strategy although the naps not doing the business the past month from The Irish Boys so may have to look at this. The last 9-1 NAP was Cheltenham which seems a long time ago !! Too early to panic at the moment as the bank for The irish Boys remains well in profit and I know it can change in the right direction at any time.

Will have a update with some of the services I have been on trial after this month and hope to add one more service to the blog.

Still pressed for time with work a the moment so will try to update as and when time allows, hard enough getting the bets on currently...

Hope you all have a great Christmas and a great new year.....onwards and upwards !!!!

ROGER GREEN RACING

Ascot 12.55 Super Villan 3 pt win at 6/1 LOST - 3

One of my strongest bets of the day.
Used to be with Mark Bradstock, but having his first run for Lawney Hill
The 300 day off the track is no concern , as Lawney is capable of getting them fit first time
This is a novices handicap hurdle, and this horse has run good races in the past, beaten by Join Together, Ackertac, Global Power, and was good enough to run in Festival bumper
Has plenty of weight, but David Bass takes off 3lbs and horse should handle the soft

mid-division, mistake 3rd, soon ridden, weakened next opened 13/2 touched 7/1

Ascot 3.05 Benbane Head 1 pt ew at 8/1 LOST -2 (PU)

Has the potential for sure, but often let down by sloppy jumping
Hopefully the fitting of first time visor today will improve the jumping
Was third to The Minack at Wincanton, but is 10 lb better off today
No doubting this horse has the class to win a race of this sort

tracked leaders, lost place 8th, struggling 10th, behind when pulled up 3 out opened 7/1 touched 8/1

Ascot 3.35 Sailors Warn 2 pt ew at 9/1 LOST - 4

A wide open handicap, and Brampour is 9lb ahead of the handicapper after last weeks excellent run
But he may have had enough racing quickly , so is passed over
Sailors Warn is high enough in the weights for a 4 yr old, but still only carries 10st 11lbs, and the booking of AP looks significant
His last run when beaten 3 l by Unaccompanied looks good in this context, and the more rain the better
Finished 6th in last years Triumph Hurdle , so a touch of class

held up towards rear, hard driven and headway after 4 out, chased leaders approaching last, soon weakened opened 8/1 touched 10/1

Haydock 2.10 Attaglance 1 pt ew at 9/1 LOST - 2

Won at Carlisle by 5 l over 2m 1f and was not disgraced when third behind Any Given Day here last month
Has gone up a pound, but providing he can handle the heavy ground, must have good chance in an open race, and at nearly 10/1 is worth an ew interest with paddy Brennan again taking the ride

prominent, led 4th until next, weakened approaching last opened 12/1 touched 14/1 £6400-£400 Each Way

Ascot 3.05 Mighty Monty 1 pt ew at 10/1 LOST - 2 (PU)

Won at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f, and was then beaten a head at the same course when caught on the line. He had gone up 9lbs for previous win
Misses a similar engagement at Uttoxeter today, and connections have decided to go for this more valuable prize
Up to 2m 6f which should be ok, and ground no problem
With 4 places each way, looks sure to run his race

raced wide towards rear, tailed off and pulled up before last opened 10/1 touched 12/1

Uttoxeter 1.45 Bendant 3 pt win at 4/1 with Totesport & Bet Fred LOST - 3 (2nd)

Very much on a retrieval mission here, having been very heavily backed on his last run ( 9/4 into 5/4)
That was at Fontwell last month in a conditional jockeys handicap ( not the best race to try and set up a punt)
Ground and trip are fine today, nice weight, and Paddy Brennan has been booked to do the business and recoup last months losses

led until before 2nd where not fluent, prominent, mistake 5th, led next, headed approaching 2 out, weakened before next opened 3/1 touched 3/1 £3500-£1000 £1500-£500

Exeter 1.20 Volcan Surprise 1 pt ew at 7/1 PLACED 3rd +.75

Few trainers are better at placing horses than Alan King, so it is interesting to see that he enters this 3 yr old in a class 3 handicap
Always difficult for 3 year olds to win a handicap hurdle , but he does appeal at the odds
Second in two runs over hurdles at Wetherby & Sandown and sent off favourite in each race
Off bottom weight here with conditional taking off 3lbs, so 9st 11lbs must help

in touch, ridden and kept on to take 3rd after last opened 11/2 touched 6/1

Exeter 2.50 Valley View 2 pt win at 4/1 - WON 6-1 BOG +12
Won easily enough at Towcester 3 weeks ago with todays excellent conditional jockey on board
Same trip today, and horses that run well at Towcester often run well at Exeter and vice versa
Very lightly raced, so every chance there is still more to come

held up in touch, went 2nd before last, ridden run-in, kept on to lead towards finish opened 11/2 touched 6/1

Towcester 2.10 Jasperito 1 pt ew at 10/1 - LOST -2

- First time over hurdles for this newcomer, but the word is that it is showing pleasing work at home .
My information is that he is certainly worth an ew interest and is expected to make the frame at least

mid-division, outpaced 4 out, weakened next opened 14/1 touched 20/1

Towcester 3.40 Generous Beauty 2 pt ew at 13/2 - LOST -4

Victor Dartnall has a good record in bumpers, and this 5 yr old mare by Generous will have been well tried at home
Good to soft ground will be fine, and she is expected to be thereabouts

with leaders on inside, lost place over 6f out, soon outpaced, weakened over 2f out opened 15/2 touched 12/1

Bangor 2.20 Dune Shine 1 pt ew at 11/1 - LOST -2

Paul Nicholls trained, Garton King, will be all the rage here having won 3 point to points before winning a decent novice hurdle at Exeter over a year ago. But well worth taking on at the price with an ew bet on Dune Shine.
This 6 yr old was beaten 17l ( 9th) in a conditional jockeys handicap hurdle ( ridden by today's conditional jockey) at Cheltenham
That was a month ago over 2m5f and the race was won by Decoy
Previous race, finished second to My Brother Sylvester at Haydock , over 2m4f
Has been crying out for this trip of 3miles, and off bottom weight with conditional taking off 7lbs must have decent ew chance

held up mid-division, headway to chase leaders before 4 out, mistake 3 out, weakened before 2 out opened 6/1 touched 6/1 £4500-£1000

Newbury 2.35 The Giant Bolster 2 pt win at 5/1 - LOST -2

Has to be the value bet in this four runner race with Time For Rupert still to find his form this season
Time for Rupert has at least 8 lbs in hand on the books, but if Bolster can get his jumping together he can give the odds on favourite a scare for sure
Carpincho looks out of his depth and Pasco having not won for nearly 3 years, bolster looks good value
If his jumping holds up and he can keep tabs on Rupert, he could show a turn of foot after the last to spring a surprise

mostly tracked winner throughout, jumped slowly 2nd, ridden 2 out, stayed on same pace, no impression opened 4/1 touched 5/1

3.30 Southwell Unwrapit 2 pt win at 5/1 - LOST -2

Seldom play on the AW but this does look a worthwhile bet

Stable in form, and ran here a week ago over 6 furlongs

Wore tongue tie for first time last week when staying on , and wears one again today

This is no better than last weeks race, but is over 7 furlongs which I think will help today

with leader, driven over 2f out, soon ridden and lost place, weakened inside final furlong opened 5/1 touched 15/2

2011-12-13T13:34:00.000-08:00

Results a little later than usual due to work pressures, staring with Roger Green Racing and a decent week to report for the service with 17.5 points for the week to add to the betting bank. Highlight for the week being a max bet on Granduet who looks a force to be recogned with in the months to come, will be interesting to see where Mr Henderson goes next with this great horse and he has one or two good ones down at his little yard......lol !!!

Hereford 2.15 Moleskin 1 pt ew at 10/1 - PLACED 2ND - +1.5

Victor Dartnall runs two here with Dancing Mist not without a chance even after a 600 day layoff
He will be turned out fully tuned up , but I think the ground may have gone against him
On the other hand, the more rain the better for Moleskin who won a novice hurdle at Exeter on heavy ground and that takes some getting on that course
Ran at Sandown last month in a class 3, and down in grade here
First time blinkers and bog like conditions could be the answer this afternoon

Hereford 2.45 Kateal 2 pt win at 2/1 withBet 365 & Ladbrokes - LOST -2

Came back from an 18 month absecnce to bolt up unchallenged in a handicap at Chepstow last month
That was on heavy ground, and although she has gone up 15lbs and this is arguably a better race she is fancied to stay ahead of the handicapper
The form of the Chepstow race has worked out well

Cheltenham 1.20 Astracad 3 pt win at 9/2 with ToteSport - WON +13.5

This is a race that owner Raymond Mould would dearly love to win as it is run in memory of his late wife,Jenny
He certainly has a very live chance with Astracad who runs in a handicap for the first time
Nicely waited on 10st 12lbs and Sam Twiston-Davies is his usual jockey
Finished seven lenghts behind Al Ferof here last month, and jumped pretty well. That course experience should help
An improver for sure at just 5yrs of age

Cheltenham 2.30 Roudoudou Ville 2 pt ew at 11/1 - PLACED + 3.5

A wide open handicap where AP has been well backed all week on Sunnyhill boy and he only carries 10st 4lbs
David Pipe runs Salut Flo at the bottom of the handicap and he could be anything . Totally unexposed and coming back from 18 months off with a leg injury
The selection won easily last month at Sandown, and has benefited from a wind operation during the summer
Plenty of improvement to come from this one and connections believe he can make a classy 3m chaser
As long as his jumping holds up he could win this off his featherweight

Cheltenham 3.05 Grandouet 5 pt win at 100/30 - WON + 17

A quality hurdle race with at least 4 major players
Menorah has a chasing career in front of him and runs here only because there are no chasing opportunities for him at the moment. still capable of taking a hand
Brampour is still improving but Harry Derham cannot claim his allowance.
We all know about Overturn and the way he runs his races and is there to be caught
Grandouet has the potential to be top drawer. He won the Irish Champion Hurdle as easily as you like and always travels easily in his races
I think Overturn will set this up for him, and expect to see him coming away up the hill

Doncaster 3.20 Benny Be good 2 pt win at 5/1 - LOST - 2

Ran a tremendous race last time in a hot hurdle race at Haydock when second behind Dynaste who bolted up
Chasing is this ones game. Ultra consistent having wi#on 7 of his 16 races
He has to defy a career best mark today giving weight allround, but this is not a great field for the prize money so he has a clear chance in my book

Cheltenham 12.35 Tony Star 2 pt ew at 7/1 - LOST - 4

Finished second behind Dineur at Wincanton last week carrying 11st 10 lbs
Had no chance with the winner who made all and stayed clear, but Dinear is a useful yardstick
Tony Star takes a fearsome hold and is not easily settled and I think that the wide open spaces of Cheltenham will suit him
Todays race is similar quality to Wincanton but he has been given a chance off 11st 1lbs
The Hobbs team are keen to get him out again, and he was sent off the well backed favourite last week when shouldering 11st 10lbs
Stable & jockey are in top form

Hexham 1.20 Open D'Lisle 2 pt - LOST -2
Loves the mud and has won over this trip here, but over hurdles
Has had just 2 runs this season which he ran ok in, but this is a big chance for him today with just 5 runners
He is now running off a very nice mark over fences, and the lack of pace today should suit him

Hexham 2.50 Code Blue 3/1 2pt win at 3/1 - LOST -2
Course & distance winner here a year ago of a novice hurdle
Very lightly raced , but encouraging reappearance at Uttoxeter couple of weeks back bolds well
Will have improved for that run and the race he won here last year was on heavy ground

Plumpton 1.40 Dolly Penrose 1 pt ew at 10/1 - LOST -2
Looked to have a future over hurdles when last seen on a racecourse nearly two years ago
Had her flat career with Mick Channon where she won a couple at distances up to 1m 6f on soft ground
Won a mares novices hurdle at Exeter over 2m 3f when backed down to 11/4 from 5/1( beat Mistress Dancee by 10 l. reopposes today)
Second at Taunton in a similar race 10 days later
Chris Down's runners are now showing form, and this ex point to point trainer is more than capable of bringing them back after a long layoff

Musselburgh 2.20 Chester Lad 4 pt win at 5/2 - LOST -4

Races off the same mark as he did last week at Carlisle went sent off favourite and finished second beaten over 3 l
Tried to make every yard and was 2 lenghts clear when made a dreadful mistake at the last and tired on the run in
Similar front running tactics today should see him own as he will strip a lot fitter
Donald McCains only runner at the meeting and Jason Maguire's only booked ride

DAY 439 " GRANDOOOOOOET BRING HOME THE XMAS MONEY !!!!!!!! "

2011-12-10T11:35:00.001-08:00

Just back from a day out in the boozer watching the racing with friends. What more could a man ask for with a good session int he pub watching quality racing at Cheltenham and a good few winners together with a pie and a pint !!!

I even managed to get a bit more Christmas money with a nice personal bet on Grandooooet !!!!

Roger Green Racing made a great comeback today with Granduet being a five point max bet coming home in greast style and Astracad 3 pt win at 9/2 together with Roudoudou Ville 2pt ew at 11/1(third)The final selection Benny Be Good 2pt win at 5/1 just lost on the line.

This brings me in over 30 points for today from Rogers service and a good boost to the bank.

The Irish Boys, Tips From Ireland have also been in full action over at Cheltenham and it was bit gut wrenching yesterday and it was looking like the selction Double Dizzy was going to have it off at one point in the race at a huge price of 20-1. The jockeys seven of them all together took the wrong bloody course and it was all over from there !!!!!!!

A good winenr today at Cheltenham with The Nicky Henderson trained Quantitativeeasing at 8-1 coming home with a great ride from Barry Geraghty having looked beat coming down the hill.

So overall a very good perfromance to add to the weeks figures, I will be back tomorrow to update the figures in detail..........

DAY 438 "DECEMBER JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER "

2011-12-03T15:44:00.001-08:00

Bit of a sore head posting tonight.
It's been a top performance from The Irish Boys, Tips From Ireland, this week and the winners have not stopped coming since Baby Whizz.
With a winner every day for December and a good few gambles landed
it's been nice to see the service hit top form right in time for Christmas and this week the turkey just got a bit fatter !

As some of my original readers will know I discovered these two guys at Cheltenham before they started tipping to the public and have followed there journey since on this blog and was never really in doubt as I had one of my best ever Cheltenham with the tips they gave me.

This weeks reults take me more near the magical £ 5000 figure and new record for the blog as I started following these guys back in May and so far in my journey they have not dissapointed.
The betting bank startegy will reain the same for now as I started with a £2000 bank playing £20 win, £60 NAP (win or each way) or £10 ew based on there tips and this has given me a return of over £2500 so far working out just over £400 profit per month from a simple stake system. If anything I am tempted to take out a thousand pounds but with the help of having the personal double from this serivce at Cheltenham a few weeks ago the bank can remian intact for now.

Looking at the month ahead there is some great racing ahead in Ireland and the good thing so far since I have been following the Irish boys is I am now getting familiar with the Irish racing and has given me a edge from the usual tipster services out there which focus on UK racing.
The good thing about Tips From Ireland is they don't bet everday and most of the runenrs are availabele at a decent price in the morning and gambled later in the day. I will try and work out the average price for the winners but think it must be around 6-1. I try to keep the blog very simple as figures are far from my strong point and find my simple system works for me and i'm not really interested in all the write ups and stuff like that as it just gets me thinking more and use to make me change my mind a lot. What counts in this game is the business end and winners that's what really matters at the end of the day and the service continues to impress and I still don't think I have seen the best of Tips From Ireland.

I know The Irish Boys are starting to get a good following as I recenly connected with the via Facebook and looking at there page they seem to have some very happy members. You can find them on Facebook by clicking the following link http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001838651747 or visit the website at www.tipsfromireland.com
Please give my blog a mention if you decide to take a one month trial with the service for £15 as it helps me get some hefty discount on my renewal subscription which is up at the end of the month.As

DAY 434 " GOOD START TO DECEMBER "

2011-12-03T08:04:00.001-08:00

I had a really good time and managed to get a few quid in my pocket at Aintree with a small bet in the lucky last which shuold pay for the night out in Liverpool together with a personal bet on a winning selecton from Roger Green from the Hobbs yard.

Getting suited and booted for the night bender now so I will keep this brief.

Kudos goes to The Irish Boys Tips From Ireland this week bringing in more profit to the betting bank with not a losing day so far in December. Lastoftheleaders was the tips today over at Fairyhouse and I got 11/2 this morning together with a place for Citizenship to keep the bank topped up. The Irish boys have been knocking on the door the past few weeks and it's nice to see the service hitting top form as the jumps season starts to get going.

Roger Green racing was also back in business with a winner at Aintree from the Hobbs yard.

Back tomorow with the blog results and maybe another winner as it's a quality days racing over in Leopardstown with some of the big guns in action.

Looking like it's going to be a messy night and hope to be back tomorrow !!

DAY 433 " STICKS AND STONES "

2011-12-02T12:04:00.001-08:00

Quick post to say thanks to for all the comments and I must admit leaving this blog is probably harder than it seems. After reading the mails it's made me realise how far I have come in my gambling life and would be bloody crazy for me to stop posting after 2 years of full on slogging it out.

Think I was just a bit pissed off last night and tonight a nice 6-1 winner Tell The Wind at Dundalk from Tips From Ireland their only bet sent today got me buzzing again, making it a great start to the week.

It would be crazy for me to stop posting now and it really looks like it's the time for a real good run with the Irish Boys.

What's been nice is knowing people actually still read my ramblings, as you can tell i'm not a writer by no means but some of the comments really touched me.

I should know by now to ignore the anom' posters, sticks and stones come to mind !!!

Well it's onto Aintree for moi and hopefully a good coupleof winners, the card look amazing for the weekend and Sunday looks a real race day in Ireland on the road to Cheltenham !!

Will be back with me plans on Sunday if I survive all those desperate scousewives at the course lol !!!

THE LAST POST ?

2011-12-01T17:37:00.001-08:00

Over to Aintree my local track at the weekend for a day and night out with the lads. Aintree is my local course as I live just five minutes from the course and it's always a good meeting and a blow out with the lads.

Also lots of well dressed fillies on show and some strange sights to say the least on the walk to find a taxi with the lads !

Aintree has been rewarding fro me over the years going back to a race I remember well when I first took the missus to the races in the days of Pridwell.
Walking home with over £500 cash inme pocket thinking I had won the lottery !! It certainly seemed like back in them days lol

I also had one of my biggest personal win in the Grand National when I managed to secure over 100-1 ante post on Don't Push It. It was a amazing day with another 3 winners on the card and me and the family shouting the horses home. Stuck in the tatts drinking pink champers by the bottle and smashing the on couse bookie to bits!

It's a good meeting with lot's of family friends at the course and it's amazing how many you bump into when at the course. Of course there have beeen some low points. I never forget blowing my dosh and all me mates winning and me worrying hoe I was gona carry on the night. Tail in between me legs almost walking the way home until Ruby come good in the last race for me, what a day it was !!!!

The funniest tfriends and family seem to think i'm the expert when it comes to the local meeting and it's put the pressure on me every time even with me old man. I never forget my dad taking me to his business private box gloating his son was a super tipster and knows everything. Sods bloody law I would always give the losers out and then they would pick there own and win !!!

It's taken a lot of time trying to maintain this blog and it really has helped me with my control and discipline since I started blogging.

One thing I have to always remember from time to time is I had a problem at one point in my life and chased and chased myself even if I was following tipsters ! I was a shocking tipster and chaser, even if I had a goood day i would chase all night betting on every race I could, it was a low point in me life.

Now I simply keep to my betting strategy and post updates as and when I can, it is great to have a few winner and a good run, but many times before for weeks on end I have battled against the bookies and at times it still gets me down when they win. Anyone who has read this blog regular will know I have gone weeks on end without a winner and kept going !

As I am starting a new job soon I am going to have less and less time to blog and seriously considering this could be my last post, i'm not sure if it's helping anyone no more listening to my ramblings and have been struggling to update lately. I tried to make the blog easier for myself to update the results but never really wanted it to become a blog just posting the history of my betting bank !

It was different when I first started blogging and now with the time it takes and to be honest I am getting bored with it and running out of things to post.

I have a couple of additional services I have been paper trading for the past month now and it's come to decision time and I am not sure if I want to carry on with spending more time updating and adding services. It may as well just be a proofing service.

Certain posts I have received lately rarely piss me off and the blog obviously offends people if I have a winner ! I have always posted detailed results each week of the tips I receive from the service I use and tried to keep everyone up to date with my journey for the past 2 years ! The funny thing is when I have a bad run I get no posts at all, takes the pish really !

I should know better by now it's not the first time I have had stalkers !!!

It's get past the point of funny when you have anonymous posts every day calling you a wxxxxx and taking bullshit about me !

Anyway away on a bender with the lads for the weekend and I will make a decision on where I want to go with the blog over the weeekend.

Sad that the blog has to end this way but at least I know how to bet and win and it will probably be much easier updating a P&L chart each night.

Been a long day and was a good one until I got a shitty couple of posts.

DAY 432 " FLAMING GOOD START TO DECEMBER "

2011-12-01T11:54:00.001-08:00

Good start to the month of December with The Irish Boys, Tips From Ireland having a good winner today on the UK card at Leicester. I managed to get 15/2 when I received the tip this morning, very early indeed, and the money never stopped all day eventually being backed down to
11/2 and winning by 19 lengths as he liked.

Looking for a big weekend for The Irish Boys this week as it's a huge weekend at Fairyhouse at the weekend with some great racing.

It's been a good couple weeks from the service with the selections giving me a
good run for the money and it's looks like the service is certainly starting to hit
top form. With a trial of the costing just 18 Euros / £15 fro a month tips it certainly is worth every penny so far as the betting bank is doing very nicely since i joined back in May. December is one of the best month for racing in Ireland and I am looking forward to spending some quality time off work watching The Christmas meeting at Leopardstown and watching all the top class racing. If you do decide to join up with The Irish service please give me a plug as it helps me barter with my renewal which is up at the end of the month.

This weekend looks a cracker with Aintree and the bog meeting at Fairyhouse starting on Saturday.

Very quiet week for Roger Green Racing and a big week needed for sure and it will be a very interesting weekend indeed all round.

Onwards and Upwards !!!

DAY 431 " BABY BABY BABY "

2011-11-27T08:05:00.001-08:00

Good week from both services bringing in a profit for the betting bank.

Tips From Ireland, The Irish Boys had a nice winner today to round up a good week and it was due after all the second they have been having lately.
Maybe a little unlucky not to round the week off in a bigger profit with two selctions coming second at nice prices but I would take the profit of £117.50 any week. Nice to see the two Irish boys starting to hit form and having a good run from most of the selections received.

That's bring me close on £2500 profit since May and I am very happy with the performance so far and sure I still haven't seen the best from the service.

Looking forward to next weeks racing in Ireland as there is as the big boys will be out in force over in Fairyhouse for the weekend which should give out some pointers for The Cheltenham festival, what a festival it is going to be !!

Roger Green had a good start to the week with a nice 3 pointer coming in.
Saturday was a but of a ass kicking with a losing day bringing me back down to 5 pts profit which again added to the betting bank. Again maybe a little unlucky as Cruise In Style run a massive race and looke like he was going to win at huge odd at big odds until clouting one when looking like the winner !
Really expecting more from Roger Green in the weeks to come and know at some point it will turn and I will reap the rewards, a 100 point week is not out the question for this service going on past history.

Lingfield 3.20 Father Probus 1 pt ew at 7/1 LOST - 2 PULLED UP
Was with Nigel Twiston davies where he had seven runs in bumpers and hurdles without winning, though showing some promise
Now with Fergus O'brien ( formerly assistant to Nigel) he had his first run over fences at Chepstow 3 weeks ago
He finished second to Graduation Knight ( well beaten) who has gone on to frank the form by winning since
3 miles round Lingfield may be more to his liking and has evey chance of making the frame at least

Uttoxeter 2.00 Cruise in Style 2 pt ew at 14/1 PLACED + 5
This 5 yr old mare has taken time to learn the racing game and what its all about
Now she is handicapping,she has more chance.
4th at Hereford earlier in the month, and second here a week ago. Clouted the last flight or would have gone very close
Due to go uo 4 lbs after saturday, so has a decent ew chance today at attractive odds
Uttoxeter 2.35 Mighty Monty 2 pt win at 9/2 - LOST -2 (2ND)
Stayed on stoutly to beat a decent sort here 12 days ago
Gone up 9 lbs, but only had six races, and recent race was first since May
Will have improved for the run and this race is no stronger than therace he won

Newbury 2.10 Be Definite 1 pt ew at 9/1 PLACED 2ND +1
Ran a decent race when second behind Renard at Chepstow earlier in the month on heavy ground
The winner has gone on to win twice since
May find the easier ground here today more to his liking
Certainly a value each way bet at 9/1 with 8 runners

Newbury 3.50 Its A Gimee 3 pt win at 9/2 - WON +15
This looks a hot maiden hurdle with no less than 7 of the runners having won a bumper or point
I was at Aintree when Its a Gimee went down by a head to Hazy Tom when he shoed great tenacity
The winner has since bolted up at wetherby, and I think the selections race fitness could give him the edge
Was 4th behind Keys in a bumper at Cheltenham which is decent form

Newbury 1.30 The Boss 1 pt ew at 8/1 LOST -2
This 6 year old is owned by great point to point enthusiasts from Cornwall
Jeremy Scott is certainly a trainer to note and is in form
This is a lovely stamp of a horse who looks as if chasing will be his game
Finished off last season by winning a handicap hurdle at Warwick in March. Over 2m 5f, and should get todays trip ok as he has won a maiden point to point
In at the deep end in this novices handicap chase, but could prove to be a blot on the handicap off bottom weight of 10 st 3 lbs

Newbury 2.05 Dream Function 4 pt win - LOST - 4
Very few winners of this race carry more than 11st, so we need to look at the lower weights
Empire Levant has a chance if turning out again after winning here on Thursday, as he gets in without a penalty, but its a tall order for a 4yr old, even with Harry Derhams 7lb claim
Dream Function is my strongest bet of the day. She coasted in a couple of weeks back at Exeter beating some useful horses
Beat Swincombe Flame by 5 l ( highly regarded won Class 1 bumper at Sandown) and Kentsford Grey Lady by further 2 1/2 l
She trotted up here on Thursday
Always follow a mare in form ,and off bottom weight in this limited handicap must have a huge chance although she is a novice

Newbury 3.10 Muirhead 2 pt ew at 25/1 - LOST -4
This is a class horse make no mistake. finished 5th in a Champion Hurdle !
In October he won the Munster Grand National as easy as you like. Held up early on, he came to beat the favourite Bideford Legend
Finished 8th in Exmoor Rangers race at Ascot a month ago, but was badly hampered twice in the race .. but for that would have been a lot closer
Today, he carries the lowest weight he has ever carried in his racing life ! 10st 4 lbs which is 16 lbs less than he carried at Ascot and 12 lbs less than when he won the Munster National
I know this is the hennessey, but this horse has the class to hunt round at the back, before making his effort up the long Newbury straight
Excellent EW value in my book and if they do not got too fast early on, and he can keep in touch, he can spring a surprise at a huge price

Newbury 3.45 Coup Royale 2 pt win at 5/1 - LOST - 2
If he carries on where he left off on his last run at kempton in February , he will take all the beating off this featherweight
Then he comfortably beat a useful field in a class 3 chase over 2 1/2 miles
Up in class today but only has 10st 7lbs and I doubt if Fistral Beach can give him 19lbs !Not the best of jumpers, but has some engine for sure and stables horses are well

DAY 430 " GOOD START TO THE WEEK "

2011-11-23T11:32:00.001-08:00

Already the middle of the week and Christmas gets closer ! ( Bar Humbug )

Been a quiet week from Roger Green Racing with just one bet yesterday on the card at Lingfield. FATHER PROBUS trained by Fergus O'Brien former trainer to Nigel Twiston Davies was backed into 9/2 but never had a going day eventually being pulled up.

Tips from Ireland, The Irish Boys started the week with another second yesterday landing the each way place money. FISTS OF FURY on the Wetherby card trained by Charles Byrnes was driven out to win by by AP McCoy landing bets of £600-£400 (x10) £550-£400 (x7) £500-£400 (x2) £600-£500 (x6) £550-£500 (x8).

Always a confidence booster when you get the early price and then see the money going down especially when AP is in the driving seat.

Onwards and Upwards

DAY 428 " ASS KICKING "

2011-11-20T10:41:00.001-08:00

Bad week for the betting bank and a full on ass kicking, bloody frustarting..
to bring me right back down to reality !!!!

Starting with the Tips From Ireland with The Irish Boys and no luck at all with the selctions who come so close to the winneing post so many times this week but a ful on case of seconditus and the NAP bets could not save this weeks results.

Then what followed was a very poor week from Roger Green Racing to give me a real ass kicking and another week to forget for Roger Green Racing !

It does get frustrating from time to time and in a way I am sure it will swing the corner and there will be many happier weeks to come where both of my main services I follow bang in the winners. Certainly wil be a short post as
it's not one I have been looking forward too this weekend !

Still my bettting banks remain intact and I am in a very good position for the rest of the season with plenty of good racing to come.

I have been here before and always come back on top and know that with Rogers Greesns service a 100 point plus month is hoepfully just around the corner. Things can change is this game in a very short amount of time PATIENCE and keeping to my approach has served me very well in the past.

Kauto Star raised the roof at my local course at Haydock races and it was a pleasure to see him come home in fine style. A true racing legend and all time great and the race will be one to tell the grandkids in years to come.

ROGER GREEN RACING WEEKLY RESULTS

Folkestone 1.30 Caulfields Venture 2 pt win at 9/2 with Bet 365 -2

This is a modest event, and Caulfields Venture brings the best hurdling experience

Finished 4th at Chepstow three weeks ago behind Golden Gael, Christopher Wren ( won yesterday ) and Grandiso

That was an above average novice hurdle for sure, and the selection was bang in contention two out before tiring

Sure to have come on since and should find the easier 2 miles here to his liking

Warwick 2.0 Hunters Lodge 5 pt win at 7/2 with Boyle Sports - 5

I have been waiting for this horse to make his appearance in a novice hurdle for some time. Hence the strong 5 point bet
A winning pointer, this 5 year old has been impressing on the gallops and the reports are that he looks to have loads of potential
2 m 5 f round Warwick should be Ok, and remember these winning pointers get in to novices without penalties
If he performs as expected, he could move on to better things

Haydock 12.50 Indian Daudaie 2 pt win at 7/2 with Bet Fred -2

Its no secret that Paul Nicholls has earmarked this race for some time
The race is sponsored by Timeform, and the horse is part owned by the Timeform/Betfair racing club
An unexposed 4 yr old who finished 3rd in the Martin Pipe conditional riders race at the Festival last March
Was running a big race when falling 2 out in the grade 1 Novice hurdle at Aintree last April
Sure to be spot on for this and 10st 9lb could prove to be a featherweight !

Haydock 2.30 Highland Valley 3 pt ew at 10/1 with Bet 365 - 6
Won two novice hurdles at Exeter, one over 2m5f so looks sure to get the 3 miles here this afternoon
Highly tried in the Neptune novices at the Festival when well down the field and a complete outsider
Has to be of interest here off his low weight and with the stable in top form

Haydock 3.05 Diamond Harry 2 pt win at 5/1 with Ladbrokes -2

What a race in prospect with gold cup winner Long Run plus Kauto Star, Weird Al & Time for Rupert
Its a big ask for both Weird Al & time for Rupert at level weights. They will have to show marked improvement to win this which is possible
Kauto Star now rising 12, again a big ask
Long Run is by far the best horse in the race, but I know connections still think Diamond Harry is top class
Had problems throughout his career, only run 13 times and winning 10 of them
Great record around Haydock and if he can get into a jumping rhytmn ,he can get the field at full stretch and perhaps get some ragged jumping in behind
At the odds, has to be worth a 2pt win bet

Haydock 3.40 Mostly Bob 2 pt ew at 6/1 with Bet 365 & Ladbrokes - 4

Looked to have a bright future when winning a decent novices handicap chase at Doncaster last January when shouldering 11st 12lbs
Then ran in Racing Post Chase in February where he fell early on. Last race was at the Festival in the Kim Muir where he ran a poor race
To be entered in those sort of races shows that he clearly has ability
Has undergone extensive schooling, and is expected to run well today

Exeter 1.0 Painter Man 4 pt win at 7/2 with Tote Sport & Bet fred -4

550 days absence to overcome but The pipe team well capable of getting then ready
Banging in the winners ,with a double yesterday
There have been positive vibes about this one all morning, and amateur Mike Ennis takes off 7lbs
This will be his first run over hurdles since April 2010, but he won a chase over 3m at Wincanton so will get the trip today
Normally wears blinkers and tongue tie, but cheek pieces for the first time today
Heavily backed overnight so fair to assume he is fit
