Best Bets of the Day!!

PUNCHESTOWN - Day 1

The ground is Soft, winter ground according to the Clerk of the Course.

Ruby Walsh will no doubt be top jockey with rides supplied by both the English and Irish champion trainers.

A lot of horses will be over the top after a long season and are likely to run below par.

Willy Mullins always targets the meeting and COOLDINE in the 6.40 is his likeliest winner.

MASTER MINDED should win the 6.05 as he is the best horse by far, but at odds of 1/3 is too short for me to get involved.

In the 4.20 HURRICANE FLY, a real superstar in the making, would have been of interest BUT may well need the run according to Mullins, so at the short price is passed over.

So 2 or 3 winners on the first day should get Ruby off to a great start.

BE LUCKY!!

HORSES TO FOLLOW

McCoy fancies his chances on HENNESSY in this, so at 11/1 a small win bet seems reasonable to me.

Well Tony McCoy was right on the button today with a superb winning ride.


A couple of horses to be added to the 'To Follow list':

TARTAN BEARER

TASHEBA

This week we have the PUNCHESTOWN festival starting on Tuesday, with some really classy runners competing.

Willie Mullins runs some of his Cheltenham superstars like QUEVEGA and COOLDINE, and Paul Nicholls has supplemented MASTER MINDED, so we should have a few days of superb racing to look forward to.

Until tomorrow, Be Lucky!!

Best Bets of the Day!!

Well it's the last day of the jumps season today and needless to say AP McCoy is once again champion jockey.

An amazing bloke and athlete imo.

Today McCoy fancies his chances on NISSAL in the 1.00 to give him his first winner of the day. If he is right, a nice 3/1 winner will set the day up nicely for us.

In the 2.35 KALAHARI KING has to be the choice on Good/Fast ground. I am convinced he would have won the Arkle on better ground.

The Bet365 Hcp Chase at 3.10 is a very open race and many can be given a chance.

McCoy fancies his chances on HENNESSY in this, so at 11/1 a small win bet seems reasonable to me.

Ruby Walsh fancies his chances on HOO LA BALLOO, who has been trained for the race, so again a small win bet for me at 6/1.

In the 5.30 at Kilbeggan, LAYDE BACK from the Willie Mullins yard is Ruby Walsh's tip of the day.

A worrying stat for anyone fancying any of the Pipe stable runners:

David Pipe's recent record of one winner from 50+ runners is a definite worry imo!!

Thats it for today, Be Lucky!!

Best Bets of the Day!!

1 placed horse and 3 non-runners yesterday!!

Looks like the ground is firming up and becoming Good Spring ground, thus the amount of withdrawals yesterday.

I will be backing the following horses today:

5.15 curr CLUAIN ALAINN to win

In a very difficult Hcp,

4.15 curr MOTAFANNY E/W

HORSES TO FOLLOW

Tony McCoy at Haydock thinks he has a chance of 2 or 3 winners today:

4.20 ZEMSKY 'has MOSCOW CATCH to beat'

4.55 FIRTH OF FORTH 'will be hard to beat'

2.40 FORTY FIVE 'has a good solid chance'


All runners are in quite small fields and I will be backing these horses in 6 x e/w dbls and 4 x e/w trebles.

BE LUCKY!!
