Extra Place Races

Hi.

I posted about these offers on this on Mr Channing's thread a bit ago. Thought I might share thoughts here on selections and overall results.

Todays EPR is the 16.20 at Wolverhampton.

I normally wouldnt touch a 5f class 6 sprint but Sky are offering 3 places on a 6 horse race and I seem to have a decent record on this track. 

I have gone for Pearl Noir @8/1 and Cruise Tothelimit @11/2 who both seem to offer value and are well treated with Jockey claims v the favourites.

    Thanks Wynne. It was a nice start to the thread, Cruised to the win @6/1, Pearl Noir not placed but can't have everything.

    Just the one pick for today's EPR the 2.50 Lingfield.

    Jose fans will be on the special one but I have gone for Welsh Inlet @7/1, consistent sort that likes the course and distance and I have just had a nice weekend in Llandudno so that must be a sign.

    Today's EPR is the 16.00 Warwick a 3m2f handicap hurdle class 3.

    Definitely not the best value EPR ever as we are just one shy of the runners that would get 4 places anyway.

    I think the 3 picks have solid place potential though and all have won over hurdles and the distance.

    Samingarry @11/1
    Cadoudoff @12/1
    Catching on @7/1

    Not sure whether going for 3 in one race is optimum but should in theory be lower variance long term. You need 2/3 to place or one to win to profit but the times when you bag a win+1 or 2 places it does feel good. Might add a small tricast just in case that does happen.

    So the first blank, it seemed a pretty open contest with no great added value from the offer so I probably should have swerved instead of backing 3. Hopefully a lesson learned for the future.

    Thoughts are for Cadoudoff though who was travelling well even after a bump when moving through into contention but then took a terrible fall. Wasn't looking good but I was only on the stream so don't know the outcome.

    edit - just seen fatally injured. Very sad. Must be heartbreaking for connections.

    Unlucky today Phantom. 
    Yes the sickening side of horse racing when the horse takes a fatal fall, and all seemingly for our enjoyment... and it was a horrendous fall too, but at least the horse knew nothing about it and didn't suffer at all because it was instantaneous. I put faith in the fact I know that the horse was doing something that it enjoyed (you soon learn which horses don't enjoy racing, and particularly jumping). The horses do have a fantastic life too, they are totally pampered and have the best of everything, and i can assure you there are far worse examples of cruelty to horses and animals in other walks of life.

    Good Luck in the future, the SKYBET extra place races really are great value, though as you've seen.... some more than others.

    Today's EPR has a more promising look to it, the 17.45 Newcastle with 12 runners the place is worth more and there is a 2/1 fav which pushes up the value for the places.

    I have gone for 3 again but will be reviewing that strategy closely!

    Highwayman 25/1
    Lord Rob 8/1
    Psychology 8/1

    After failing to capitalise yesterday on the obvious money going on the eventual comfortable winner I will be looking out for a lightly raced outsider that is in a similar situation today.

    edit. Added Tred softly while 11/2 and for some reason decided 100/1 was worth a punt with Bilko's Back.

    I call it diary tilt after the pressure of a blank result. Need to put some discipline back into this.

    I am having serious words with myself after putting 5 bets on the one race, a blank will serve me right.

    I have checked over my results and I really shouldn't have panicked. I have gone 30 bets without a win and 8 without even a place before and I am still up over 30% ROI before today. Still a very small sample though (175). If I can get to 1000 and be +ve I will be happy.

    Thanks Mr V.

    Yesterday was practically a blank, little more than money back on the shortest price bet which was the only place. 2nd and 1st Fav both looked different class.

    Today I have gone for the 2.25 Donacaster Spring Handicap

    6 places (thanks Daphne for the tip on spotting the races earlier)

    3 selections

    Ballet Concerto 9/1
    Examiner 10/1
    Another Touch 12/1

    Think I will set a max of half selections to no of places paid unless the book has a particularly odd shape to it.
