Wow - +26 pts profit from 5 bets this week !! Back with a bang !!

Well it's great to be back from Oz and really firing again on the back selections.

So far this week we have had 5 bets advised to my email subscribers and made a fantastic +26 pts profit:

Monday

2:20 Newton Abbot - With Grace - 2 pts each way at 13/2 - she was travelling well before making a mistake at the third to last fence losing all momentum and she faded back to 7th.
- 4pts loss.

6:40 Leicester - Arnold Lane - 2 pts each way at 15/2 - on debut here but I had been speaking to the yard over the weekend who said he was working really well with
Gatepost who had been a smart winner at Folkestone and York and was being aimed at the Coventry. He powered home to win nicely +18 pts profit.

Tuesday

2:30 Nottingham - Bling King - 2pts each way at 11/2 - had made a nice debut at Pontefract and was well drwan in the 11 stall on a track where a high draw is a definate advantage.
Ran a disappointing race after looking very worked up on the way down to the start, made headway 2f out but faded from there. -4 pts loss.

Today

4:55 Goodwood - I Hate To Lose - 2 pts each way at 9/2 - a lightly raced 3 yr old filly she had shown plenty of promise in her re-appearance at Chester earlier this month after nearly 8 months off the track.
A poor draw in 14 but with Frankie on her back she looked to have every chance and was well backed pre-race only to disappoint. - 4 pts loss.

6:10 Punchestown - Carrigmartin - a rare trip for me across to Ireland for a bet, but he was one of three J.P Mcmanus horses in the race, he had been out twice quickly and disappointed but this dropped his handicap mark nicely for today's race. Everything pointed to a Mcmanus gamble today - I advised him at 8/1 this morning and advised everyone to grab the odds. He won nicely giving us +20 pts profit on the bet.

So after a quiet week last week due to my jet lag flying back from Australia and two days up at York for the Dante Festival - it was back to business with alot of hard graft last weekendnow paying dividends for my email subscribers.

I am now setting up my list for June - so if you fancy it then get your name on the reserve list now. As usual we are filling up quickly.

You can email me on richard@racingprofits.net if you want to be added to the reserve list or ask any questions.

Have a great week,

Rich

Free Irish Flat Racing Guide - 7 Group Horses To Follow In 2011

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE

This is the first instalment of a three part Irish Flat Racing feature for the 2011 Flat season for Racing Profits followers and punters alike. Here, I will outline some very classy individuals I consider to be set for Group race glory this season. All are trained in Ireland but of course, many will have planned engagements at both sides of the Irish Sea.

HEAD SPACE – Jim Bolger - 3yo Colt

This son of Invincible Spirit really caught the eye when winning his maiden at the first time of asking last April. Tracking the leaders in mid division he travelled supremely well and showed a tremendous burst of speed to put the race to bed from over one furlong out, winning by 5 lengths over the minimum trip. It was a visually impressive performance and one that has been backed up by the three horses directly behind him who’ve all gone on to win races since, the best of them being the very smart Lightening Thief. Unfortunately, Head Space has been off the track since with a set back and has been given all the time he needs to come to hand by his shrewd handler Jim Bolger, who undoubtedly knows when he has a good horse on his hands and make no mistake, this is a very good horse. Hold entries in both of the 2000 Guineas but is reported to be a bit behind schedule in terms of a trip to Newmarket, where he is quoted as a 50/1 shot. He could be one for the Irish 2000 Guineas but this horse has so much speed I can see him really making his presence felt over shorter trips in time. Will be placed to good effect by his handler and is definitely one to keep on side when he makes his return to action.

PATHFORK – Jessica Harrington - 3yo Colt

A highly imposing unbeaten 2yo last season from the Jessica Harrington team, an American bred horse who won a 14 runner maiden at the Curragh in mid July last year, comfortably thrashing the well touted 8/11 favourite Robin Hood from Aiden O’Brien’s yard by 4 lengths. He then progressed to take the Group 2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh where he had the likes of Glor Na Mara, Samuel Morse and High Ruler outclassed in behind, all good prospects for this season in their own right. It was his run in the Group 1 Vincent O’Brien National Stakes, again at the Curragh racecourse, which cemented his superiority over the 2010 crop of Irish 2 year olds in September. That day he settled well in third place and hit the front a furlong out and stayed on really well to hold off Casamento, who went on the take the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in October and has since joined the powerful Godolphin team for his 3yo campaign and is a high class prospect as well. Group 1 winner Zoffany was a well held 5 lengths behind those two that day and the form stacks up very well. I have chatted to one of the jockeys from Harrington’s jumping team about this colt and the one thing he said was that he only likes to do enough in front and the feeling from the yard is they still don’t know how good he is as he always keeps a bit up his sleeve, both at home on the gallops and on the track. To my mind he is was the best of the Irish 2yo crop and that is reflected both in the form book and in the English Guineas market, where he is clear 2^nd favourite behind Frankel at 7/1. He looks set for a huge year in Group 1 company and reports from the yard suggest he has wintered very well and he heads straight to Newmarket.

RODERIC O’CONNOR – A P O’Brien - 3yo Colt

It is looking as though this immaculately bred son of Galileo is the chief 3yo from the powerful Ballydoyle establishment and it would be criminal not to mention him here as he is a very likeable colt that has a very progressive profile. From looking very green on his debut when finished 3^rd behind the classy Dunboyne Express and Master of Hounds in early June, he stepped up no end to thrash Master of Hounds by 2.5 lengths at the Curragh at odds of 12/1 under Seamie Heffernan. He looked smart then and was taken straight to Newmarket for the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes, where he was given little chance at 25/1 by the layers in what was considered to be the hottest 2yo race for years with Frankel, Dream Ahead and Saamid locking horns. Dream Ahead clearly hadn’t got over his emphatic Group 1 victory two weeks previously and his effort petered out tamely, as did Saamid’s who also had excuses as the ground was on the soft side. All the same, this was a high class race and Roderic O’Connor led from the start at a good gallop and was just done for toe in the closing stages by Frankel who won by just over 2 lengths. In late Autumn he took his chance in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint Cloud and went off a warm 5/2 favourite in a hot looking race. He took the race comfortably to establish himself as a serious prospect for Classic honours this season. He is 3^rd favourite for the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and having been tipped up by Pricewise in the Racing Post, must go there with a big chance of fighting out the finish. Is entitled to improve no end this season and could be even better again next season. Is a well balanced colt who will act on most types of ground and has plenty of options open to him whatever happens at headquarters on April 30^th.

LAUGHING LASHES – Jessica Harrington -  3yo Filly

Another horse I must mention from the yard of the first lady of Irish Racing Jessica Harrington, who has some potent looking ammunition to go to war with this season. Laughing Lashes is a very attractive daughter of Mr Greeley who was very consistent last season, coming 2^nd in very good company three times and winning the Group 2 Keenland Debutante stakes at the Curragh in between. That day, with a bit of ease in ground, she beat her arch rival Misty For Me comfortably, with the 6/4 favourite Together a well beaten 3^rd. Misty For Me just edged her in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud on her next start on ground that was probably a little too firm. Word from the yard is that they believe this filly is at least as good as Misty For Me when she has her conditions and is strongly fancied to run huge races in Classic company this season. I backed this filly at 25/1 each way for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket last year after Id spoke to my pal at the stable and she is now as low as 12/1, with Misty For Me a 7/1 chance. There is no reason she cant run a huge race on good ground, but with any ease in the ground she’ll be strongly fancied to win the race and at 14/1, she rates good each way bet regardless. She’ll undoubtedly make her presence felt at top level this season, has plenty of options until late in the year and for that reason, she is my 3yo filly to follow.

INVINCIBLE ASH – Michael Halford - 6yo Mare

Invincible Spirit is fast becoming one of my favourite sires as his offspring are very fast, very versatile and extremely tough racehorses. Invincible Ash has been a model of consistency winning two Listed events last season and taking home plenty of prize money for her owners in defeat. She is just back from Dubai, where Michael Halford placed her well to run in 5 races without victory and not once did she look out of place or run a poor race. On World Cup night at Meydan, she finished a close 4^th behind arguably the best sprinter on the planet JJ The Jet Plane in the Al Quoz Sprint, only beaten half a length. This mare thrives on racing and has slowly but surely risen up the ratings. Now rated 111, she’ll be running in all the top sprint races this summer and I won’t hear of her not getting her head in front in a good race at decent odds. Is having a little break at the moment but will be back in full work very soon and I look forward to following her this season.

FAME AND GLORY – A P O’Brien - 5yo Colt

An outstanding middle distance performer and its difficult to envision the horse having anything but another exciting season. He has won three Group 1s and four other Group races and is just the type to excel and perhaps improve again as a 5 year old. Is likely to start off in one or two small races in Ireland and start at prohibitive odds, but it is when he begins his travels to England and France that we need to pay him particular attention. Has all sorts of races open to him in including the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom, where last year he made top class filly and multiple Group 1 winner Sariska look completely out of place in the closing stages. Fame And Glory went on to win a small Group 2 at the Curragh after that, beating his regular work partner Dixie Music in the style that poor horse has become accustomed to at home on the gallops. Next was the Qatar Prix De L’ Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp where he went off a well fancied 9/2 shot but never had a clear run and was badly hampered over 2 furlong out. It was a muddling race and he would certainly have finished closer to Workforce and may have won with a clearer run. There has been talk of Fame And Glory being trained for the Royal Ascot Gold Cup and that might not be a bad idea at all as he has both stamina and class in abundance, all the attributes required to win such a race. Whatever path he takes, he is a horse to follow at home and abroad and to my mind, is a major player for the Arc again in October.

Zerashan  - Michael Halford - 4yo Colt

Another potential dark horse to follow here from the ever expanding Michael Halford team based in county Kildare.  This horse has just been bought by Gigginstown House Stud from the Aga Khan for a sizeable sum of money to go jumping later in the year. I find it interesting that Micheal Halford pressed his new owners to let him partake in another flat campaign before he starts over hurdles. He is a good looking son of Azamour who will certainly improve with age as did his sire. Barring his final run last season where he was clearly over the top, he enjoyed a respectable first season, his best run when chasing home the top class prospect Await The Dawn at Cork. Zerashan is likely to stay 1m4f and will have plenty of opportunities to take a Group race along the way and could pop up at a decent price.

So, there we have 7 horses I think will be worth following for Group race honours this Irish Flat season. A good mix of talent I think you’ll agree, with some well known names as well as a couple of dark horses. There are any number of talented horses who I may not have mentioned, but make no mistake about it, I fancy these 6 to be profitable to follow and I plan on giving regular updates of their progress as the season goes on.

In my second instalment, I will be focusing on Irish Handicappers, with varying levels of class, who I feel should win races this season and be profitable to follow. The last instalment of this completely free Irish Racing article, exclusive to Racing Profits.net, will focus on a batch of unraced Irish trained 2 year old horses who will be making an impact on the Irish Racing scene this Summer and Autumn.

All the best and you’ll hear again from me very soon,

Kevin O’Malley

Get My Grand National Top 6 Horses Shortlist For Today's Race - Don't Place Your Bet Without Reading This !!

Morning All,

Well what a beautiful day for the Grand National at Aintree.

As promised I have posted an article looking at my shortlist of the Top 6 horses who I feel have the best chance of winning today's Grand National and why. I also look at some of the other contenders and for all you long odds punters a few of the outsiders with a decent chance.

To read the full article head here:

http://racingprofits.net/news/john-smiths-grand-national-chase-2011-racing-profits-shortlist

The top 6 were as follows:

The Midnight Club – Weight 10st 13lb – 6 of the last 12 Grand National winners have been Irish, has been well backed after his performance in the Jewson Novice Handicap Chase at Cheltenham where he stayed on nicely suggesting further is what he needs. Willie Mullins main chance alongside Arbor Supreme.Ruby Walsh has always wanted to get this horse to Aintree, has a solid chance. Odds 11/1.

Big Fella Thanks – Weight 11st 1lb – came 6^th in 2009 and 4^th in 2010, loves the course and solid jumper. Transferred from Paul Nicholls to Ferdy Murphy recently. Main doubt is his stamina after last year carrying 10st 12lb he was alongside Don’t Push It at the Melling Road but came in 28 lengths back. Odds 20/1

Ballabriggs –  Weight 11st – Super consistent and improving with every run, winning 5 of his last 6 races. He won at Cheltenham last year over 3m 2f so should not have any stamina worries, although he did seem to be fading in the run in on that victory, so may be vulnerable to a strong finisher on the run in. The Mccain family know how to win this race and are looking for a fifth winner. Odds 14/1

Silver By Nature – Weight 10st 12lb – Won the Grand National trial at Haydock on heavy ground over 3m 4f by some 15 lengths, has absolutely bags of stamina and is a great jumper. Only 2 greys have ever won the national –  the last grey to win the national was Nicolaus Silver in 1961. Odds 18/1

Backstage – Weight 10st 12lb – French horse who has done well in irish point to points, with a prolific win record and proven stamina, was moving well in last years Grand National when unlucky to unseat his rider at the 20^th fence when hampered by another horse. Unproven stamina but was moving well last year at the 3m point so a definate contender with a clear round of jumping. Odds 16/1.

Oscar Time – Weight 10st 9lb – has been trained towards this race, proven stamina from this Irish horse the main concern would be his lack of Chase experience over the past couple of years, although he came in 3rd behind The Midnight Club and Arbor Supreme at Fairyhouse last month. Ridden by amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen who rode Long Run perfectly to win the Gold Cup last month at Cheltenham. Carrying the least weight of my shortlist. Odds 14/1

Have a great day,

Rich

A great finish to March today with 3 selections - 2 winners and an each way 2nd at 8/1 = +20 pts profit !!

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Well what a finish to March for all my Email Subscribers. I sent over the following 3 bets this morning at 11am.

2:35 Ludlow – Kaituna – she has progressed nicely over hurdles, after a couple of bumper runs she won her hurdles debut at Plumpton over today’s trip of 2m 5f last November on good ground by some 6 lengths, she then fell at Towcester on her next outing, she reappeared over 2m 2f on good to soft at Fontwell where she showed that her fall had not hit her confidence, leading for most of the race until the conditions took their toll and she faded back to 4^th. In her last race she returned to Plumpton and stepped back up to 2m 5f in handicap company for the first time, where she carried top weight but again fell victim to the soft ground coming 3^rd by just over 3 lengths. Dropping back to Novice mare’s company today and on better ground she is likely to push the talented Seren Cwmtudu all the way, in what is a pretty weak race apart from the top two in the market. I am going 2 pts each way at 7/2 from Bet365.

4:50 Leicester – Sand Owl – made a promising debut at Kempton back in October where she ran a little green and appeared to lose ground on the bend turning in losing her valuable momentum, she made nice progress on the straight however to finish 3^rd under a tender ride by Ryan Moore. Today she is expected to have improved from that run and the straight 7f of Leicester will suit, with Ryan back in the saddle. I am going a maximum 3 pts each way at 5/2 from Victor Chandler.

5:35 Ludlow – Castle Conflict – a real consistent point to point performer, including winning his last two races, he sold at the Newbury sales earlier this month and is now with Henry Daly. The yard are confident of a strong debut run today and I am going 2 pts each way at 13/2 from Bet365.

Make sure you get the Best Odds Guarantee on your bets guys.

Thanks to everyone who has now re-subscribed for April and May – with Aintree round the corner we have some nice bets coming up.

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE

Both Kaituna and Sand Owl stormed home for us to win +18 pts profit. Then Castle Conflict drifted out to 8/1 but as you can see I advised all my subscribers to make sure they had the Best Odds Guarantee on their bets, the front running Castle Conflict was just picked up by Sizing India on the run in to finish 2nd.Another +2 pts to add to the day.

Don't Forget - there is no better time to get involved in my Email Selection Service - as I am offering anyone who subscribes for April - May for FREE !! As I am flying out to Australia from April 22nd - 10th May and will not be making any selections.

But be quick we are down to the last few places and they are filling fast. You need to email me on richard@racingprofits.net if you want to reserve a place and I will send you payment details.

Have a great evening,

What a day !! +20 pts profit from an 11/1 Winner at Ludlow !! February now stands at +44 pts profit !!

Well what a day, after a week of placed efforts from our selections we hit the bookies hard with 3 selections today:

2:00 Doncaster - Kings Grey - advised as a 2pt each way bet at 9/2 this morning for my email subscribers - ran a great race just going down to Raya Star by a little over a length.

5:25 Ludlow - Cantlow - ran well at Fontwell earlier this month and was stepped up to 3m today - exactly what he needed - the yard were confident that he would go close today and available at 11/1 from VC Bet this morning he was in to 8/1 and advised 2 pts each way by the time my email went out to my subscribers. He was heavily backed throught the day down to 7/2 and duly did the business beating the odds on favourite - gamble landed from some great yard information. +20 pts profit !!

7:05 Kempton - Gottany O's - made a promising debut at Lingfield and stepping up to 1m 3f today looked ideal - advised at 4/1 this morning to my subscribers as a 4/1 each way bet he pushed the strongly fancied Swingkeel all the way to the line going down by 1/2 length - another 2nd.

We have been super consistant this month - if my selections have not won they have placed the majority of the time. Our total profit on the back bets stands at +44 pts for February after the +45pts we made in January we are truly back in the groove, with some nice bets to come.

You can see why my email subscription service is so popular. If you are not on it then email me and reserve your place for March on richard@racingprofits.net . Remember it is Cheltenham Festival time - always a big profit month for me - so don't miss out.

Take care,

2 Days - 2 Winners - January finished on a nice +45 pt profit - February off and running !!

Morning all,

Well the past few weeks have really seen us return to form in a big way. We finished January with a +45 pt profit on the back bets alone.

On Monday we had:

1:15 Ayr - Darna - advised at 3/1 in the morning - came in as a nice winner to make +7pts profit.

1:45 Ayr - Kings Grey - advised each way at 5/1 came in 3rd to make an additional 0.5 pt profit.

Great finish to January.

Yesterday - Tuesday 1st February 2011

I put up Shammick Boy in the 2:50 at Taunton to defy his 7lb penalty - which he did winning a battling finish on the line. + 6 pts profit.

The frustration was 3:10 Folkestone - Cotillion - who had stepped up in trip and looked nailed on for at least 2nd before falling at the last fence.

Looking good for a great February,

Take care,

Rich

Evening All,

Well we are hitting the bookies hard at present. I had two selections today for my email subscribers.

1:30 Taunton - Shammick Boy - advised at 10/1 this morning as a 2pts each way bet - although up against Credit Swap who was the short favourite, Shammick Boy had run over C&D and he was seriously hampered early on in his hurdles debut run - the yard fully expected him to run a big race today - and so he did winning us a massive +25 pts !!!

I also advised 4:30 Taunton -  Bathwick Brave from the bang in form David Pipe, making his bumper debut today but well fancied to go well on the fast flat track of Taunton, he ran a strong race but found one too good in Divine Folly. Advised at 9/4 this morning as 4 pts to win.

The past 9 days have resulted in +36 pts profit !!!

If you want to get on the February list then email me as soon as possible on richard@racingprofits.net .

Back with a bang !! Monday 10th January 2011 - 2 Back Bet Selections - 2 Winners !!

Evening all,

Well after a great week away skiing in Italy it was good to be back in the UK and down to business. After the coldest December in 100 years you could have been forgiven for thinking that consistancy had totally gone from betting and particularly backing horses. If you read through the Racing Post blogs there are alot of bettors counting the cost for a poor December betting and the inconsistancy shown. So it was nice to take a proper break and come back refreshed today.

We had 2 back bet selections for our email subscribers today:

1:45 - Taunton - Dona - had clashed with todays odds on favourite Secret World at Newbury back in November and stood out as clear value at 9/2 this morning, compared to the favourite, the yard had reported that he had improved on this run and they were confident of a big run and so it proved with him doing the business and winning for us giving a nice + 11 pts profit.

3:45 Taunton - Sona Sasta - from the bang in form Pipe yard he had been performing well in Handicap hurdles, winning at Ffos Lass and Huntingdon before struggling with the ground in a Class 3 at Cheltenham, making his debut today over fences - the yard clearly had confidence by avoiding the Beginner Novice Chase route and going straight into handicaps and on ground to suit - he was the standout - although the market reflected this and was advised at 5/4 this morning only to be backed in to odds on through the day - still a nice +5 pts profit.

So a nice start to January and hopefully the back of the disruption we saw to December.

Talk soon,

Rich
