MY RATINGS HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE THE LAST THREE WEEKS BUT THIS WEEK HAS SEEN ME REACH A MILE STONE. THE LAST TIME I PUT ANY MONEY IN MY BETTING ACCOUNT WAS £20 IN 2015 WHEN I WAS DOWN TO UNDER A £100. SINCE THEN I REACHED £500 IN THE MIDDLE OF 2017, £1000 LATE 2018 AND HAVE BEEN SO NEAR TO £1500 OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. LUCKILY THANKS TO 50-1, 2 X 20-1 AND SOME NICE DOUBLES AND TREBLES FRIDAY I REACHED THAT MARK. NOT BAD FOR A SMALL STAKES OLD TIMER WHO BETS ON WAY TOO MANY RACES.
WELL AFTER THE BRAGGING LETS SEE IF I CAN GET THE RATINGS BACK UP AND RUNNING THE RIGHT WAY.
iiii - 2.20 NEWMARKET - MYTHICAL 11-4 - impressive last time on soft and trainer has won the last two runnings of this race. LOST, couldnt get out but wouldnt have won anyway as Ralph Beckett gets a quick hattrick in the first three races at New and York.
iii- 2.55 NEWMARKET- MOLATHAM 2-1 - Beat WICHITA last time who then franked the form and runs in the DEWHURST later. LOST 7f horse distance too far
ii- 4.10 NEWMARKET - RANCH HAND 15-2 - Beat TRUESHAN easily last time who then franked form big time today, hope he can get the extra distance. LOST DANGERS - BUILDMEUPBUTTERCUP 6-1 LOST, NUITS ST GEORGES 66-1 LOST AND EDDYSTONE ROCK 25-1 LOST
AND THIS WAS MY NAP FOR CAESAREWICH LAST YEAR
iiii- 3.40 NEWMARKET - STRATUM 6-1 - Won well and then didnt get a run last time. Owner landed big gamble in this last year and this one fancied. LOST
AND HE WINS AT 25-1 THIS YEAR ARGGHHHHH
I- 5.00 YORK - RIVER ICON 7-1- Will love the ground and distance and had a pipe opener over trip to short in late september, where she finished 2nd, to put her right for this. 3RD 12-1

A month of terrible ratings has got to chenge and honest I,m trying my best. Hopefully I can get at least one tomoz.
iiii - ASCOT 2.45 - ANAPURNA 5-1- Hoping Frankie has chosen the wrong Gosden horse, shown she likes soft ground when winning in France over longer and this stiff course in stiff conditions shouldn't faze the Oaks winner. LOST wrong Gosden horse, should beleive Frankie
iii - ASCOT 4.00 - CORONET 7-2- Never runs a bad race and has won her last two, hope she can go one better today after 3rd and 2nd in the fillies and mares the last two seasons here. LOST

The runners will need water wings tomorrow and need to have stamina to get home . I have gone big trying to get back some of last 4 weeks losses. Might as well have big priced losers rather than short.

iii - CHELTENHAM 2.00 - CROSSPARK -20-1 - Big improver last year and won Eider Chase and second in Scottish national, should be capable in getting home over shorter in testing conditions.

II- CHELTENHAM 3.45 - BURROWS PARK - 16-1 - Trainers horses usually love the mud and this horse likes coming from behind. Should come strolling up hill and has run well first time out before. LOST all over them until push came to shove, will strip fitter next time. DANGER SYKES 12-1 3rd sandwiched going up the hill didnt help

Lets hope the tide has turned after last weeks winning ratings.
Probably a mistake with having two flat horses but here goes anyway
iiii - WETHERBY 3.40-LA BAGUE AU ROI - 5/2- One of the best novice chasers last year and her trainer reckons he has got her even better this and her autumn campaign last year was flawless. Course winner. LOST went out like a light ground against her
iii- NEWMARKET 3.45 - MITCHUM SWAGGER - 9-2- Ran well first race of season and then kept back for autumn campaign which hasnt gone as well as I thought it would. However trainer has been in form recent weeks and he won this race by 5 lengths last year. LOST
ii- NEWMARKET 1.30- MADELEINE BOND- 9-1- Won well last time on heavy and 2nd in this last year off 3lb higher weight. 3RD just couldnt get run at right time, too much to do at end. Danger GEORGE OF HEARTS 16-1 WINNER Got first run on them after being backed down to 8-1.
i- ASCOT 2.45 - DIDTHEYLEVE YOUOUTTOO - 9-1- been following this horse since he landed listed bumper here and he had good form over hurdles last year. LOST
