Best Bets of the Day!!

Yesterdays selection Final Ovation finished 2nd @ 5/2

Final Ovation had been well backed on his debut and built on that under a positive ride. He made the most of his low draw but found the winner too strong in the last furlong. He should be up to winning a similar contest. - racingPost

KAYF ARAMIS looks a good thing today, but is a very short price imo and one for the big hitters. Rather than back another horse e/w I think I will try a Tote Swinger bet with ISABELONABICYCLE as the other selection.

There are a lot of debutant runners in the 2.50 at Goodwood but LA PANTERA should improve from her first run and hopefully land the spoils.

CATCH BOB in the 2.25 at Kelso should also run well carrying a penalty.

I will be having an e/w double on the pair, as well as backing them to win.

If CATCH BOB wins I will probably stop-at-a-winner as I will be up on the day and will have the e/w money going on to the second horse.

2pts WIN on CATCH BOB

0.5pt e/w on CATCH BOB & LA PANTERA

2pts WIN on LA PANTERA

1pt Tote Swinger KAYF ARAMIS & ISABELONABICYCLE

BE LUCKY!!

PACO BOY ran way below par according to his jockey and wouldn't have won over ANY distance.

Obviously 1m on soft ground in a Group 1 race proved too much for the colt.

Trainer still wants to keep him at a mile, lets hope he is right running on better ground!!

2.20 muss FINAL OVATION

Backed on debut but ran green, should know a lot more today. Nicely drawn in stall 3 over 5f and hopefully will do the business for us.

I also liked Lucayan Dancer BUT has a poor draw in stall 2 on the round course.

BE LUCKY!!

The going at Newbury is Soft today, and a lot of fancied horses will not handle the going.

2.40 PACO BOY will love the ground and is the best horse in the race.
There is a question about his ability to stay 1 mile on testing ground in Group 1 company, but his class should see him through.

PRESSING will have to make the running to burn the finish out of PACO BOY and should be backed e/w at 10/1.


BE LUCKY!!

In the Derby trial at Lingfield at 3.15 today AGE OF AQUARIUS is a very short price to win and I will be watching only today.

This is the horses debut run this season and from memory only 2 horses (from about 30 runners) has won first time out for Aiden O'Brien this year.

Johnny Murtagh has been quoted as saying Aidens horses have been in need of their first run this season, moreso than usual. This is possibly due to wet weather in Ireland.

From 23 rides at the festival Ruby rode 10 winners for a level stakes profit of +14.6 points. Another 5 horses ran into a place.

DAY 5

1.45 Gr3 Mares Hdl
SERPENTARIA (W Mullins/R Walsh) - 7th @ 9/4f
The favourite Serpentaria might be best returning to a longer journey and a sounder surface is probably her preference these days. - RacingPost

2.55 Gr1 Champion 4yo Hdl
MOURAD (W Mullins/R Walsh) - 2nd @ 11/10f
MOURAD's trainer had expressed his concern about this ground beforehand for his Triumph Hurdle third and it probably contributed to his defeat. - RacingPost

3.30 Hcp hase 3m 1f
ARBOR SUPREME (W Mullins/R Walsh) - 3rd @ 11/2
Arbor Supreme never looked like getting to the winner. He´s probably more effective on better ground. - RacingPost

4.05 4yo+ Hdl
SESENTA (W Mullins/R Walsh) - 1st @ 6/1
A big prize went to the diminutive SESENTA who sealed a huge week and season for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh. - RacingPost

Best Bets of the Day!!

With 8 winners for the Ruby Walsh/Willie Mullins partnership at the festival so far, it would be madness to desert them on this final day of NH racing in Ireland.

From 19 rides at the festival Ruby has ridden 9 winners for a level stakes profit of +11.6 points. Another 3 horses ran into a place.

With some strong chances of winners lets hope for more of the same today!!

Well Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins continued their run of winners on Day 3 of the Punchestown festival:

Willie Mullins also had another 2 winners ridden by other jockeys as well, and obviously has his string in top form for this meeting.
