So a small loss to round off March. Cleared £1716 on the month to take the 2009 profit to £2863. Cheltenham clearly wasn't what I hoped for but it's a decent return on the month and plenty to look forward to in April with the big Aintree meeting starting on Thursday and then the flat will start to kick into gear after easter.

Very Quiet
Monday 30 March
It'll get very busy for me at the end of this week but for today, a very quiet start to the week with only two bets.
As I mentioned yesterday, I've started following the advice of Mick and Gags who I've met through The Form Analyst forum. See link on right hand side to "Making It Pay", under the Services I Use heading.
Good start from them today with Watson's Bay suggested each way at 12/1 finishing third at an SP of 7/1.
The other bet today was from SLH's all weather team, Albero di Giuda was unplaced.

Profit and Loss w/e 29 March 2009
Had a positive end to last week when Retief Goosen won the golf, and it's continued this week as the yearly profit is now back over £3000.
I'd be struggling badly without the inspired work of SLH and also the golf which has produced plenty of excitement already this year.
The other services continue to struggle, however they contributed to an excellent year for me last year and there's no reason why 2009 should be any different.
It's been a tough start to the year, but we're only a quarter of the way through and there are literally hundreds of opportunities to build on the current profit in the months ahead.
Looking forward to this week, the big Aintree meeting starts on Thursday which is always a personal favourite of mine - and I'll be going to the national on Saturday, which will the first time I've been racing since Paris last October.
Try and get out racing a bit more often this summer !

SLH Strikes Again !
Sunday 29 March
A quiet end to the week in terms of the number of bets given out, but SLH ensured it was a cracking day with another winning double. The only other bet was from The Form Analyst, who advised an each way bet on Advanced. Backed in from 20/1 to 8/1, had to give best to Palace Moon who ran out a very easy winner.
Nothing doing with the golf this week so losses to book there. In an attempt to keep things moving in the right direction, I'm going to start following the selections on the EWT blog (see link on right). These are a couple of guys who I know from The Form Analyst forum and they certainly know the time of day, check out the results on their blog.
Of course will also be looking to trade as many of these horses for risk free bets as I can, haven't had the chance over the weekend but it is something that I will be doing much more in future.
Back later with the weekly p&l, but here's what I did today.

Another losing Saturday
Saturday 28 March
Just the one winner today from SLH on his all weather line, although returns were boosted by two successful lays advised by Maths on his bad horses service.
Otherwise the other eight bets all lost, albeit with two more seconds - at 11/1 and 8/1. No hard luck stories really, Zaahid was well beat by Expresso Star in the Lincoln, while Gala Evening was dropped in at the rear and was never going to get there.
Not having a good time on Saturdays so far this year, dropped over £2500 on them - lost on seven of the last eight, and thats with cutting right down on the football bets, so it's not my fault !
In front so far this week with one more day to go, although it's unlikely there will be any returns on the golf, so need a steady day on the horses to enable me to book a profit on the week.

Second Century
Friday 27 March
I know I've been going on about the number of seconds I've had this year, but I got the century up today - five bets advised producing a winner and four seconds.
Totals for the year now stand at 81 winners, 101 seconds, and 81 thirds.
Never had a full house before, but that was a possibility until the well backed Blockley won for me at Wolves tonight.
Also managed to nick a few quid by trading Mizen Raven, who was put up by both Tipping Legends and Optimum.
Start of the turf flat season tomorrow at my local track Doncaster, and the participation of the Lincoln favourite Expresso Star is very much in doubt due to the current quick ground. Dry day hereon Friday, and they are only forecasting light showers between now and race time.

Steady Progress
Thursday 26 March
Had a decent run of things in the last few days, and that continued this afternoon with three winning bets from the six advised. Just over two grand up in the last five days which is very welcome - however from past experience, I know that I can soon burn a big hole in that. But a very good week so far, and something to build on over the coming weekend.

Cracking day for SLH again
Wednesday 25 March
Another pretty quiet day with only 4 horses given out. Star of the show, not for the first time, was SLH who gave out Spider Boy - who made all to win gamely for me at 10/1.

Fair start, missed the BOG though
Monday 23 March
Steady enough start to the week with a winner from SLH on his exchange line, and one from the Tipping Legends. Got the 2/1 advised price, but not with a BOG bookie, so a bit miffed to discover the SP was 10/3 - however after a drift like that I suppose I should just be happy that the horse won - which he did, very easily !

Golf Update
Retief Goosen has just won the Transitions golf tourny, holing a 4 footer on the last for his par to win by one shot.
Tense hour or so watching that but got the result in the end - maybe this is the start of better things.
Well we've been here before, but see what next week brings.

Profit and Loss w/e 22/03/09
**** edited 10.15pm Sunday ****
Another disappointing week to report on the horses, with still no progress being made in terms of profit. However Retief Goosen has just won the Transitions golf tourny in the US tonight, so a very welcome pick up of £1250 on the event which has put an entirely different complexion on the week.
A losing week on the racing, despite a 14/1 winner in midweek, and things really have got to start moving forward here.
A couple of false starts, £5000 up at the end of January which was all lost by the beginning of March, and then £6000 up by the Wednesday of Cheltenham week, which has pretty much gone. Of course I have no control over what happens to the profit and loss, it's up to the tipsters to produce the goods. Plenty of near misses recently, but it's winners I need - nothing else will do.
I am trying to bring trading into my daily betting activities, which will help things along a bit, however this is only really possible on days when I am not at work - just too busy otherwise.
Maybe I also need to incorporate some elements of the staking advice from the services themselves - analysis of results has shown the plan I'm following is much the best to maximise profits in the long term, however it may help things along to have something to go alongside it.
As you can see at the bottom of this weekly analysis, most of the services are doing ok to their staking plans, it's the distribution between winners and places which is causing a major discrepancy at the moment.
This betting lark is permanently a work in progress, and as long as I ultimately get out of it what I want, them I'm not too bothered how I achieve it.
The win on the golf has certainly improved my mood tonight, however it's the horses which are the mainstay of this blog and I need a good steady couple of weeks to get some profits in the bank, and give me something to build on.

Looking to the golf
Sunday 22 March
**** edited 10.15pm Sunday ****
One winner on the horses today, with another second and third, but Retief Goosen has just won his golf tourny by one shot after holing a 4 foot putt on the last for his par, and so I've ended up having an excellent day after all.
Another farce over the jumps today, where five fuckwit jockeys took the wrong course in the Huntingdon 4.10 - went the wrong way round a marker, including Come on Jonny who I was on. Whether he would have won or not is irrelevent - this game is hard enough without these idiots cocking things up like that. Inexcusable, and the second time in two weeks it's happened to me. All 5 banned for 12 days - make it three months and it might ensure it doesn't happen again.

Two winners but a poor day again
Saturday 21 March
Two winners, two seconds and two thirds was the final score today, but it all added up to another losing day.
Still making no real progress, with the profit standing at less than £500 nearly 3 months into the year. Long long way to go of course with literally hundreds of bets still to come, but the fact I've managed to back winners so far this year at 80/1, 50/1, 33/1, 28/1 and many more at good prices and am still barely in profit is frustrating. The amazing amount of seconds I've backed (94) doesn't help either.
The racing today was blighted by non-runners, particularly at Haydock where the pre-racing going was given as good to soft. It was nowhere near that, as was evidenced by dust being kicked up in the back straight. The going was changed but the damage was done - 21 of the 69 horses entered didn't run.
The Haydock clerk of the course has got previous form for "misleading" going descriptions. He glories in the name of Kirkland Tellwright, and is either a useless b*stard or a lying b*stard. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't trust him to look after my back lawn !

Seconds out, round 92
Friday 20 March
A small loss to report today, with just the one winner from Tipping Legends, and another three seconds - which is 5 in two days now.
Taking out all the extras I had at Cheltenham, and the various each way doubles, golf bets etc, I've now had 73 winners this year, 92 seconds, and 73 thirds. So will be getting the century up sometime next week - one day the winners will catch up !!
Managed to get £34 doing a bit of trading around the tips today - every little helps as they say.

A much better day
Wednesday 18 March
Was beginning to curse my misfortune again at around 4.15 today when Pelham Crescent finished second at 10/1, however Templer and Trifti put the smile back on my face and ensured it turned out to be a very good day after all.
Also managed to do a bit of trading around El Hombre Del Rio, had £300 risk free on the off, and managed to trade out £80 in running at 4.3 so a nice little bonus - this is what I want to be doing as much as I can from now on, however it's difficult to manage when I'm at work so just tried it on the one horse today and it came off.

Frustrated again
Tuesday 17 March
Just three bets today, all from the Tipping Legends, plus a successful place lay from SLH.
The second was Shillingstone, advised as a maximum three point bet, and beaten a nose, caught right on the line by Mr Ed - who was winning his first race for four years !! Why did it have to be today ?
My luck is bound to turn eventually, but it's like trying to turn a supertanker at the minute.
Howewer, ahead on the week, ahead on the year - so just keep battling away with it and things will eventually come good.

Cheltenham Thoughts
Well a few thoughts on the last week, will be a few more during the week as they come to me but I'll start here.
First things first I won't be changing my staking plan - I've analysed the results from the services over the last year or so, and this is the most profitable plan - by some distance. At the moment it is not working, but it will.
I don't think that because it didn't work over a 4 day period there is something inherently wrong with it.
However, I think it is important to review the events of the last week - and the same would have been true had I won as much as I had hoped.
Had three comments yesterday regarding my somewhat tongue in cheek comment that the answer was to have more bets.
Well, in a way that would be an answer. As I've said I'm not going to deviate from the long term plan, so I cannot, say, back £50 on a 25/1 winner at Cheltenham, where if it was on any other day of the year I would be having £100 on it.
So, what to do instead.
Trading the horses has been suggested. Now I keep coming back to this, and this is an absolute necessity.
The majority of horses I back trade shorter pre-race, and so what I need to be doing is backing them on Betfair, and then laying them back at a shorter price for a risk free bet. It won't work everytime, but it will enough times to prove highly profitable over the long term, and of course there will be many occasions where I can lay in running to guarantee a profit.
Been talking about this for long enough, and I need to start doing this from now on. It won't be as easy to manage my positions when I am at work, but I don't work full time and so need to do as much as I can - starting this week !!
Another thing I could do would be to follow the staking plans as advised by the services alongside my own plan. I wouldn't do it to full value stakes of course. While I have a healthy betting bank, there's only so much exposure I want at any given time.
It's something to consider though - especially at the bigger meetings, or with the "clever" each-way bets. Although, as I have said previously I don't find it easy to get these bets on.
However with the enhanced place terms available at the festival and other concessions the bookmakers were offering mean I shouldn't just be backing "blind" as I was doing last week. I was so busy getting bets on there seemed to be very little time for doing anything else. I can't use that as an excuse though, I need to be a bit smarter next time.
Tipping Legends had a great festival for their clients, finding 8 winners on the week - however, I made buttons from their festival bets, and lost money on the week following their selections.
Maths had two account bets, highlighting five horses and yielding a 20 point profit to advised stakes - I lost £500. Two places at 25/1 get me nothing unfortunately.
An unsatisfactory result, I'm sure you will agree.
As it was Cheltenham, I had additional bets which are not part of my usual portfolio.
Paul Jones' ante-post service performed with great credit once again this year. 30 bets, produced four winners at 14/1, 14/1 adv (got 12/1), 12/1 adv (got 10/1), and 10/1, as well as places at 33/1 (only the brilliance of Tony McCoy prevented this from being a winner), 6/1, 14/1, and 5/1. Also the place bet on Roll Along without the big 3 at 33/1 was successful but I was unable to get the bet on at the price. In all a profit of £1559 over 4 days was excellent.
Also I made additional bets based on Paul Jones' overnight e-mail service and Mathematician's additional thoughts on the Cheltenham races in his daily e-mails. As well I also had a few bets based on SLH's thoughts on the Cheltenham card - although not on day one when he liked Forpaddydeplaster !! I did this last year with a good deal of success, but this wasn't replicated this year.
The Paul Jones overnight trends e-mails are not tips as such, but suggestions based on where the likely winners are from a trends perspective. Paul, as I'm sure most of you know, writes the Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide. For the first time this year, I didn't buy the book, and so relied on the e-mails to make the final selections.
The e-mails pinpointed 9 winners and 17 placed horses, from 3-4 horses shortlisted for each race, as I mentioned during the week I staked £100 on the first named ie "strongest" horse and £50 on the remainder. Had I level staked £50 on each selection, I would have been £562 better off.
Getting down to a manageable shortlist is a fine art, but will mention this one in passing. For the Freddie Williams Plate, Paul mentioned the good record of Venetia Williams - she ran two in the race - Something Wells and Ping Pong Sivola. Unfortunately for me Something Wells didn't make it to the final shortlist, which was a pity as he won at 33/1 just beating his stablemate who did make the list - fine margins and all that.
Maths e-mails gave 5 winners and 4 places including winners at 16/1 and 12/1.
I think dutching all these additional selections may well be the way to go in future. I will do some analysis over the next week or so, before I come to any final conclusions.
Plenty to think about, always learning in this game. I will get there in the end.

Profit and Loss w/e 15/03/09
Here's the final figures for this week, and the contrast between the plan I adopted and the advised stakes from the services is striking.
Would have had a great week had I done as I was told ! but there you have it.
So if you want an appraisal of how the services have performed, then ignore my results and check the results to advised prices list.
I'm not going to change the plan as I know over the long term it will reap greater financial rewards. However Cheltenham week is unique, and as such it needs a strategy to match.
I'll list out the figures here now, and write a separate post with my thoughts on the events of the week. As always, comments are very welcome.

Quiet end to a crazy week
Sunday 15 March
Just three horses advised today and no winners, as this mad week comes to a close.
Certainly hasn't produced the result I was hoping for, and indeed looked possible by Wednesday evening. Nearly £6000 in front at that point but that has dwindled away to a profit of £546 by close of play today. Unless something drastic happens in the golf tonight, there will be another £250 to come off - will update later on.
Back later with the full profit and loss for the week, in addition to which I will give a few thoughts on Cheltenham now the dust has settled a bit - a few comment to respond to as well.

Quick catch up
Saturday 14 March
Quick round up of yesterday's results, where SLH saved the day and ensured I came out just in front. Flinotff led over the last in the Midlands National but was caught on the run in by Russian Trigger and I had to settle for the runners-up spot again.
A few things to do today, so will catch up with recent comments later on.

Quick round up of yesterday's results, where SLH saved the day and ensured I came out just in front. Flinotff led over the last in the Midlands National but was caught on the run in by Russian Trigger and I had to settle for the runners-up spot again.
A few things to do today, so will catch up with recent comments later on.

Friday's tale of woe
Had a tough time of it Thursday and Friday and the news doesn't get any better as I discovered this morning when updating my spreadsheets that I had won £150 less on Wednesday than I thought - oh bloody great !
Quieter day on Saturday which I will report on tomorrow as I'm out early tonight so need to get ready. Finished the day about level I think.
In the meantime, here's the Friday shopping list for you to pick the bones out of. In contrast to Thursday where nothing fell my way at all, there was little in the way of hard luck stories yesterday. Winners in very short supply with only Zaynar and Cappa Bleu doing the business for me. Tramantano briefly raised hopes in the last, and ultimately provided a little free bonus at the end, but it wasn't to be.
Will have a think about the weeks events over the next few days, no regrets from my side - just disappointment. Think some new strategies need to be brought in for next year though, won't deviate from my plan - just need something to complement it.
Yes, more bets - that's the answer !!!!

Having a night off
Not going to update with the full run down of results, will catch up with it all tomorrow.
Feel drained now after the last four days. It's enough it's been another poor day with a loss of around £2700, more or less the same as yesterday. Loss about £3200 over the last four days which is very disappointing.
However I am still ahead on the week (!) and I start again tomorrow, which will be lot less hectic.
Already had a couple of glasses of something nice, and there will be a few more. Will update my results spreadsheet over the weekend, which will take some time and also have a think about how the week has gone and how I've played it.
Not the week I hoped for...

Getting Out Stakes
And so to the last race of the festival and sadly things haven't gone anything like I would have hoped. Still, see what we can do here. Few big prices to go to war with again so who knows. I'm So Lucky would be an ironic winner given what has happened to me this week !

Well Oh Crick lands the last from Moon Over Miami with French Opera in third and Tramantano in fourth. Bit of good news to report. Logged into my VC account and noticed there was £85 worth of promotional cash sat there. So I had £42.50 each way on Tramantano at 33/1, just held on for fourth !! So a slight positive to take from what has otherwise been a very disappointing day.
Loss on race £542

Coming towards the end now
Just two more races now to turn the festival in to a winning one.
Won't know whether to laugh or cry if Piraya wins the next, as he is the second leg of the double with Pride Of Dulcote who just got touched off earlier.
However he will be a good win in his own right so I'll take him. Faltering Fullback and Oscatello would do very nicely as well.

4.0 Cheltenham
Well things are not looking great at the minute. However still three races left and got to keep battling away at it.
Southwestern or Robbers Glen are the ones to get me out of a hole, we'll see.

Oh Dear
Well things have taken a turn for the worse in the last hour or so.
Nothing doing from any of my bets at all and I've dropped £2500 in the last three races.
Kauto Star is absolutely magnificent in the Gold Cup with a performance to live long in the memory.
From a betting point of view a disaster for me but what a horse !!

As a footnote, Isiris gave Albertas Run ante-post at 33/1 (I think) last year when I was on holiday but didn't get on. Similarly Paul Jones advised an ante-post on Roll Along e/w at 33/1 in the without Kauto / Denman / Neptune market with the Tote. Unfortunately the price didn't stand for long enough for me to get on and so have no bet on that market.
Back later.....

2.05 Cheltenham
Well that was a good start ! On the first three in one form or another but the best one came home first.
Sky Hall is the one for me here, the second leg of the each way double with Zaynar. Also got a chunk on it to win as well.
It's the 27 runner traditional getting out stakes which has been shifted from the end of the card for reasons best known to the Cheltenham executive.
If I can't have Sky Hall then I'll take Arcalis or Sesanta, with Sunnyhill Boy and Cockney Trucker a fair result also.

Here we go
Right, into battle then with the 1.30.
Much revolves around Zaynar and Walkon here for me, Mourad and Edabiyan are the only others of interest, and already £100 down on the race as Mount Helicon was tipped up ante-post for this a long while back but has disappointed this season and hasn't made it here. Zaynar the preference.

Walkon £50 e/w @ 5/1 - antepost

to settle later
Perfect start as Zaynar holds off Walkon to win at 11/2. Mourad finished third with Starluck fourth. Ebadiyan was still going very well when ducking out at the second last.
Profit on race £937

An hour to go
Just about there for today, with just the SLH message to call now.
Feeling a bit jaded now to be honest, going to have a quick shower to see if I can perk myself up a bit.
Back just after one with the tips for the first....

Good Morning
Well the week has flown by and here we are on the final day of the festival.
Hoping for better things today after the disappointments of yesterday - all is quiet at the moment so I'll take in my breakfast now.
The plan for the blog this afternoon will have to change slightly. My Dad is returning from holiday today, and I need to go and pick him up - with a great sense of timing this will be at about 3.0 !!
What I will do today then is blog the first three races live and then put up the selections for the rest of the card for you to check my progress. Will be back on later in the afternoon to catch up on everything, and may blog the last couple of races live.

Character Building !!
I think the thread title is appropriate to what I am about to post. The last two results today were sickening, there's no other word for it. However the money is lost and I've got to go again tomorrow.
There's still plenty to go at tomorrow and it can still be a memorable week - well it's already been memorable but to be honest I've had no luck at all so far, started on day one with Maljimar and it's not really changed since then.
However there's no point moaning about it, it's part of the game I'm playing and it will pay off in the end.
Right on to today's shopping list !

Absolutely gutted by that last result.
Need a break before I come back and update - dropped about 2700 today I think.

Just one race to go and I'm about £1600 down on the day at the moment. Plenty of chances in the last, and at huge prices as well, but I will go behind on the three days if I can't find the winner here.

4.0 Cheltenham
The SLH all weather horse goes at 3.45, so I'll dip out of RUK's Cheltenham coverage to watch that.
As far as the next festival race goes, got a few shots at the jackpot, Or Bleu, Pop or Silverburn would be perfect, although Three Mirrors and Akilak wouldn't be bad either !

Brutal race and a nightmare for me as 33/1 shot Something Wells beats his stablemate Ping Pong Sivola, given an agressive ride, into second place with Notable D'estruval in third and Three Mirrors fourth. So got the 2nd, 3rd and 4th there but drop £675 on the race.

The World Hurdle now and over to Kasbah Bliss.
Obviously no good to me now should he win, although I've had £100 on him. A very interesting one at a huge price and I've deviated from my staking plan. Also played it on Betfair and I've got a risk free bet on it and I've left an in-running bet on it at a short price in case it runs a stormer.

£650 staked
Kasbah Bliss is eclipsed and can only finish fourth as Big Bucks takes the race, staying on past Punchestowns with Powerstation back in third. Shakervilz ran a good race but was never going to get my in running bet matched, traded as low as 60 ! A decent return on the race for me, wasn't expecting too much to be honest, still a fair bit down on the day, but plenty of bullets to fire in the last two.
Profit on race £425

On to the Ryanair chase where Voy Por Ustedes is the hot favourite. Obviously not much mileage in backing him at just over evens although put up by two of my services and so I've had a £100 on it, also had a £200 win double with Kasbah Bliss, again put up by two of the services.
Gwanako or Tidal Bay are the preferred winners for me.

Voy Por Ustedes / Kasbah Bliss £200 win double
Imperial Commander puts in a gutsy performance to take the Ryanair from Voy Por Ustedes, who was nearly on the floor 4 out, didn't jump well anyway - Schindlers Hunt back in third.
Managed to find the winner but a losing race overall, will settle the losing double here at this point also.

Well no good there, as none of mine got involved in the finish as Kayf Aramis beats Buena Vista with Pennek third and The Sliotar back in fourth. Galient jumped the second last in second but it's a long way home from there and he faded out of it.

Right all the business is done now, it's over to the horses
Hell of a lot of big price tips today, would be great to get one or two of them over the line. Astrador or Slash and Burn would be the best result in the first.

Update
Coming up to 12 noon and just the phone messages to get now from Optimum and SLH.
Already laid out just under £5000 of bets, some very big prices today and three each way doubles which could net some serious cash were things to fall in place.
Of course, nothing can be taken for granted at Cheltenham and it could all come crashing down but I've had a very good week so far and remain confident that the run can be maintained.
Back just after 1 with my bets for the opening race.

Morning
Day three and all is quiet so far.
Felt a bit tired when I got up this morning, but a hot shower has got me started and I feel great now and ready for the day ahead.
Got the Paul Jones bets on last night, still waiting for the first e-mail of the day. Time to get some breakfast I think, back later.

Scores on the doors
Wednesday 11 March
Well that was some day again, about £6000 laid out in bets and a decent profit of £1300 on the day. Still a long way to go yet and there's plenty that can go wrong but it's looking pretty good so far.
Here's the full list of today's results and bets placed. Paul Jones overnights will be with me shortly and so off I go again.
Again, plenty of comments during the day which are all much appreciated. You all seem to be enjoying this as much as me and we're only half way through !

Well that was some day again, about £6000 laid out in bets and a decent profit of £1300 on the day. Still a long way to go yet and there's plenty that can go wrong but it's looking pretty good so far.
Here's the full list of today's results and bets placed. Paul Jones overnights will be with me shortly and so off I go again.
Again, plenty of comments during the day which are all much appreciated. You all seem to be enjoying this as much as me and we're only half way through !

Final Round Up
Pretty good day overall, with just the SLH A/W selection to go in the next at Southwell.
Will put it all together and see how it all stacks up....

5.15 The Bumper
Willie Mullins fields no fewer than eight of the 24 runners here in the last race of day two.
I'm on two of them with Gagewell Flyer the preferred option of his as far as I'm concerned. The jackpot horse here is Henry King, although I'll take any return to round off a good day.
Minimal stakes by my standards this week !!!

* Stewart Machin on RUK likes the look of Quel Esprit and Gagewell Flyer in the paddock. Don't know if he's a good judge or not, but I'll take it as a positive.
Wow, how impressive was that !!! Dunguib absolutely hoses up in the bumper. Some Present second and Rite Of Passage third, but really it's all about the winner with the rest nowhere.

3.20 Cheltenham
Well what a great performance that was, personally delighted of course but I love this sport and it's a joy to see things like that.
The expectation is that we will see something similar in the next from Master Minded.
Nothing for me on him of course at that price, but played on the without the favourite markets and a couple of each ways, plus a win bet on Petit Robin to keep my staking plan honest !

Master Minded duly wins as expected but Well Chief is a nightmare for me as he takes second on the run in ahead of Petit Robin who finishes third. A £1300 swing against me there.

Twist Magic £50 e/w @ 22/1

Master Minded duly wins as expected but Well Chief is a nightmare for me as he takes second on the run in ahead of Petit Robin who finishes third. A £1300 swing against me there.
Loss on race £300
2.40 Cheltenham
Cooldine looks to be the one here, put up as a maximum bet by two of my services also backed it ante-post and gone in again on the overnights.
If not Cooldine, then Lightning Strike, Killyglen and Massini's Maguire would be the choice.
Bets
Cooldine 50 e/w @ 14/1 - ante-post
Lightning Strike 50 e/w @ 40/1 - ante-post
Cooldine £200 win @ 4/1
Cooldine £150 win @ 7/2
Killyglen £100 win @ 14/1
Massini's Maguire £100 win @ 12/1
Casey Jones £50 win @ 14/1
Gone To Lunch £50 place @ 2.8
£850 staked
Cooldine a brilliant winner at 9/4 from the big outsider Horner Woods in second with Massini's Maguire back in third. Carruthers blazed the trail out in front, eventually finished fourth after trying to take the third last fence home with him.
Profit on race £1800

In contrast to yesterday a disappointing start to the day.
However a long way to go yet, onto the second where Knockara Beau is the jackpot horse. Few others hit the spot as well.
Bets
Karabak 50 e/w @ 6/1 ante-post
Karabak 100 win @ 7/2
Mikael D'Haguenet £150 win @ 7/2
Knockara Beau £200 win @ 20/1
Quewetwo £50 win @ 20/1
China Rock £50 win @ 36.57 on betfair
£650 staked
Mikael D'Haguenet wins from Karabak with Diamond Harry in third. Knockara Beau and China Rock briefly threatened as they turned for home but couldn't find anymore up the hill finished 5th and 4th respectively.

Nice steady start to the day !!!
The best possible result would be Hennessy, which would be the first leg of a life changing bet were it to come in. Well I can dream for another 20 minutes at least.
Pangbourne would also be a great result, as would Forest Leaves.
My bets
Forest Leaves 50 e/w @ 12/1 - ante-post
Forest Leaves 25 win @ 12/1, 75 win @ 13.5 on Betfair (r4 applies)
Can't Buy Time 50 win @ 5/1 (r4)

Also
Hennessy / Mr Thriller (4.40) £50 e/w double
Hennessy / Great Endeavour (4.0) / Mr Thriller, Silk Affair (4.40) 2 x £25 e/w trebles
to settle later.
Poor start to the afternoon for me with Tricky Trickster winning at 11/1 from Drumconvis and Nine De Sivola. Hennessy runs a good race and finishes fifth - one place out of the money with the enhanced place terms.

Ready for battle
Just under an hour to go now until the first race - just the call to SLH to make at 1pm and then I'll have everything in place.
Better organised today, yesterday everything seemed to happen in a bit of a rush but all sorted early today. It helped with the Tipping Legends selections coming in early, plus I put all the Paul Jones overnight selections on last night.
Wichita Lineman doesn't run in the first, as expected, and there will be a rule 4 on my earlier bets.
Other non-runners at Cheltenham are Altihar in the Coral Cup (4.0), and both Love and Glory and Simarian miss the Fred Winter (4.40). All the other stand their ground at the moment.
Back in about half an hour with my plays in the first.

Morning
Good morning.
Already been busy today as the Tipping Legends e-mail has arrived early. 15 selections plus a couple of each way doubles - got them all on already.
Add in the Paul Jones ante-posts and overnights and it's going to be another crazy day.
Going to have a cooked breakfast now, and then I'll be staring at the screen for the rest of the day.
Great feedback from yesterday's blog which was much appreciated - hope you can join me later on.

Well I think that's everything !
So a healthy profit on the day, but Maljimar was a sore one - undone by a brilliant ride by McCoy on Wichita Lineman. No doubt I will have to watch that over and over again this week. Kalahari King was beaten just a short head in the Arkle and there was that each way double which I could have had.
But I'm happy with the start to the festival, it's the hardest meeting of the year and so much can swing on fine margins. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Hope you've enjoyed the live blog this afternoon, I've certainly enjoyed doing it and it'll be here for the rest of the week.

Well I think that's everything !
So a healthy profit on the day, but Maljimar was a sore one - undone by a brilliant ride by McCoy on Wichita Lineman. No doubt I will have to watch that over and over again this week. Kalahari King was beaten just a short head in the Arkle and there was that each way double which I could have had.
But I'm happy with the start to the festival, it's the hardest meeting of the year and so much can swing on fine margins. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Final Race Day 1
That's the first day nearly done now, but I fear I've made a balls up.
Tipping Legends e-mail today was in the format of a front cover with the tips on it, and an attachment with the detailed analysis on it. I didn't read the front cover and missed that they advised an each way double on Made In Taipan and Nenuphar Collonges. Finished 4th and 3rd, Hills paying 4 places all races but one of the guys on the The Form Analyst forum says they've settled his e/w double as a loser. If they pay out on it, then I've cocked up big style - £50 e/w double returns £1800 !!!
Can't do anything about it now so it's on to the last.
Bets placed
Chomba Womba £100 win @ 15/2
United £300 win @ 9/2
Caroles Legacy £78 win @ 16/1, £22 win @ 14/1
Quevega £50 win @ 3/1, £100 win @ 11/4
Oscar Rebel £50 win @ 12/1
Great performance by Quevega, flew up the run in to win very impressively. United just held on for second. Found the winner but a loss on the race ultimately.

3.20 Champion Hurdle
Well had a bad 10 minutes there, with Maljimar getting nailed by Wichita Lineman and then SLH's selection at Sedgefield Bula's Boy departing early.
On to the Champion Hurdle now where Ashkazar is the jackpot selection and Whiteoak would be very good as well.

Punjabi a shock winner at 22/1 by a neck from Celestial Halo with Binocular a head away in third. I collect on my bet of Punjabi without Binocular but that's as far as it goes for my bets as I lose £342 on the race. In all the excitement I forgot about SLH's all weather bet today, Mr Chocolate Drop - finished second beaten half a length.

2.05 Cheltenham
Good start to the meeting but it's very early days yet.
SLH has advised two account bets, and one bet on the exchanges - all at Sedgfield - good on him !!!
The exchange bet Smarties Party, 3 point back at min 3.0 and a lay back in running at 2.0 for the same three points has just gone in and so locked in a £162 profit before commission.
Onto the next at Cheltenham, where Calgary Bay and Made In Taipan get the jackpot, Tatenen is OK, Tarlak and Kalahari King get the money back.
My bets
Calgary Bay £50 e/w @ 10/1 ante post
Calgary Bay £50 e/w @ 8/1 ante post

Kalahari King £50 win @ 14/1
Calgary Bay £50 place @ 2.9
Calgary Bay is very disappointing, as Forpadydeplasterer holds off the late run of Kalahari King. Made In Taipan rewards those who followed Tipping Legends 1pt e/w advice (4 places available with plenty), and Tatenen falls early.

OK first race.
Don't want Cousin Vinny, although will get some of my bets refunded if he does win courtesy of the Paddy Power concession.
Red Moloney, Go Native and Shoreacres would be big winners, Torpichen and Medermit ok also, Ainama and Kempes would keep the losses to a minimum.
These are my bets
Torpichen £200 win @ 11/2 (BOG)
Red Moloney £100 win @ 12/1, £50 @ 15.5 on Betfair
Shoreacres £50 win @ 40/1

Nearly there now. Got the Tipping Legends selections through - 12 of them, just waiting now to call SLH's lines at 1pm and that will be it.
Papers everywhere at the minute so will get everything typed up, get the coffee machine on and I'm ready !!
Very best of luck with your bets this afternoon, it's going to be a long week - hope it's a successful one.

11am Tuesday
The e-mails from Maths and The Form Analyst have arrived. 10 bets advised by Graeme, and 1 selection from Maths. However Maths has also gone through the card with his suggested bets and I'm playing £50 on each of his suggestions.
Got all the Paul Jones ante-post bets from the last few weeks, plus I've bet the selections from his overnight e-mails so a huge amount of bets placed already.
Still got the Tipping Legends e-mails to come, plus Optimum at 12.15 and SLH at 1.0 so there'll be a lot to come yet.
Currently typing out the selections race by race which will help me keep track and save me time later on today when I update the blog with all the results.
Not long now guys....

Quiet day lol
Monday 9 March
Well I've been bemoaning my bad luck on this blog for seems like forever, so what happened today has lifted my spirits somewhat !
Just about calmed down now, nearly an hour later.
SLH advised a 1pt e/w bet on L'eau du Nil at 33/1 - said he thought it was massively overpriced, had at least as good a chance as most of the field and would be disappointed not to get a run for our money. Well you can say that again Steve !! Didn't look that promising most of the way round, though he began to stay on turning for home, took it up jumping the last and won very well.
Managed to get half the stake on with Blue Square at 50/1, and the rest at the advised 33/1.
So all geared up for the Festival now, with confidence fully restored and high hopes of a memorable week - it's certainly started off in the right way, got the betting money for the first couple of days at least !!!
Don't forget, will be here during the day tomorrow, relaying the ups and downs as they happen and I hope you can join me.
Have a great week !

Poor week this week to take me behind on the year again, would have been a profitable week had I been following advised each way stakes, but my win only plan continues to suffer at the moment - excluding the exchange business and the each way doubles, outright tips produced just 4 winners on the week, but 8 seconds and 2 thirds show how close things are. Eventually some of these places will be converted into wins and I'll have a very good week, that's the theory anyway !

A familiar tale
Sunday 8 March
Only three bets advised today on the horses and an early finish for me.
Optimum put up a 3pt e/w bet on their horse No Supper, and he absolutely hosed up at 7/2.
That's where the good news ends though. SLH advised a 2pt e/w double on Maxwellton Braes and Quentin Collonges, and the bet went down straight away with Maxwellton Braes very tired at the end and overtaken on the run in to finish 4th. Quentin Collonges was beaten a short head.
Maths advised an each way on Classic Cut and as has been so often the case this year, ran a fine race but one too good again - second to the favourite Sphinx.
Nothing doing on the golf this week either, Karrie Webb launched her charge too late to get in the money - shot 6 under in her final round to miss the places by two shots. Nothing doing in the US golf either so I'll book those losses today.
If you get the impression that I'm not particularly enjoying this at the moment, you'd be right.
The Cheltenham Festival is now only two days away, and surely I'm due a change in fortune. Now would be a good time !!
Back later with the profit and loss figures.

That's where the good news ends though. SLH advised a 2pt e/w double on Maxwellton Braes and Quentin Collonges, and the bet went down straight away with Maxwellton Braes very tired at the end and overtaken on the run in to finish 4th. Quentin Collonges was beaten a short head.
Maths advised an each way on Classic Cut and as has been so often the case this year, ran a fine race but one too good again - second to the favourite Sphinx.
Nothing doing on the golf this week either, Karrie Webb launched her charge too late to get in the money - shot 6 under in her final round to miss the places by two shots. Nothing doing in the US golf either so I'll book those losses today.
If you get the impression that I'm not particularly enjoying this at the moment, you'd be right.
The Cheltenham Festival is now only two days away, and surely I'm due a change in fortune. Now would be a good time !!
Back later with the profit and loss figures.

Frustrating
Saturday 7 March
Managed one winner today, Ceremonial Jade at 4/1 but more places at big prices which are no good to me of course.
My Friend Sandy came second at 20/1, stayed on all the way up the Chepstow home straight but couldn't reel in the winner, beaten just over two lengths.
Similarly Prince Taime stayed on late in the day to finish third in the Imperial Cup, where The Form Analyst's selection Alsadaa finished fifth. Anyone backing e/w with the sponsors would have been paid out on their 66/1 bet.
Mahadee put up e/w by both TL and Maths finished in the worst possible place, 4th beaten a short head for 3rd - which is the main reason why I gave up backing each way last year. That happened so many times it was untrue.
Had a quick look through the results for the year so far last night, and after today, excluding e/w doubles, golf and my personal bets, I've backed 56 winners, 71 seconds, and 59 thirds.
So the winners are lagging behind somewhat and dragging the profit down, well take the golf out of the equation and it looks pretty dismal. Getting nowhere at the minute, and feeling a bit frustrated with it all.
Just waiting for things to turn, keep saying that don't I ? Whichever way it goes there will be movement on the account next week !!

A new way to lose money
Friday 6 March
Another one of those days today.
Tipping Legends gave out three horses, one of which was Etxalar in the first at Ayr. Passed the post in first, "winning" by 16 lengths. Unfortunately for me, the first four home went the wrong side of two markers on the course after being waved past a dolled off hurdle and were all disqualified so the race was awarded to Seraphin - who originally finished 5th, beaten 52 lengths !! F*cking great.
Things didn't get any better with Gala Evening finishing second at 6/1, beaten a neck and would have won in another couple of strides.
Need a change of luck here that's for sure - it's going to come next week, I know it !

Benefits of best odds
Thursday 5 March
Tipping Legends put up two selections today, including Picts Hill advised as a 3 point win bet at 9/2 - couldn't get any of that so settled for the 4/1 best odds guaranteed with Paddy Power, so delighted to back a winner at 13/2 !
SLH also put up Picts Hill on his exchange service, but obviously the BOG doesn't apply there so only got 4.19/1 for my money , less commission of course and less the losing stake on Honour's Dream who finished second.
Talking of which, another three second places to add to the ever growing collection this year - hoping all the winners are being saved up for next week.

Down Again
Wednesday 4 March
Not really making much progress at present and the way things are going currently was illustrated with Le Briar Soul, one of the best backed horses of the day by the looks of it - and unseated his rider at the very first fence.
Haven't seen the race, no need really. Draw a line and move on.
I'm hoping that all the good fortune is being stored up for next week - certainly overdue a decent run.

Coming soon - live blogging !
The Cheltenham Festival is just over a week away now, and as always I shall be taking the week off work.
About four years since I last attended the festival, but I never miss watching it.
It's going to be a manic week betting wise for me, wasn't with Tipping Legends last year but they advised 49 horses over the course of the week, The Form Analyst is expecting to give out 20-30 selections at the meeting. Plus I have Maths, Optimum and SLH who will give account bets, and also race by race analysis as they did last year. To top it all off, I have once again joined Paul Jones' Cheltenham ante-post service which produced fantastic results last year - and this year's portfolio is building nicely. Also included is Paul's overnight e-mail service, with the best horses from a trends point of view.
Looking ahead then, I could be laying out upwards of £10,000 in bets during the week and so I've decided that I will blog "in running" during the festival. Will update throughout the day, including a race by race summary of what I've backed and the resultant profits and losses. Should be an interesting read I think - as much as anything else it will help me keep track of where I've got to ! Hope some of you can join me for what should be an enjoyable week.
