No Apology in the last at Belmont.

Pike in the last, no apology needed!

Yep agree was running on nicely.

I love a bet but am hopeless at backing winners* so I decided to lay my selections and have managed to have money in my account after 5 weeks where normally I wouldn't.

I've had a few setbacks. That being that the minimum 'lay' on betfair is 30 bucks. But I'm hanging in there. Summary below;

Summary
Start 200, end 158.48
Start 158.48, end 178.89
Start 178.89, end 207.18
Start 207.18, end 128.89
Start 128.89, end 153.44 (was down to 78.89)

Anyone who's used Betfair before would know that if you lay horses, it's not a quick win, it's more of a slow burn.

*I find that I back more winners now when I lay them, than I do if I pick them outright.

Didn’t get it for more because of 1 being the late scratching? The 7 was the sub.

Yep Paid $24

Invested $256
Return $116.16
Have actually had a good day outside that

Same, got Standoff at 27 early. Always good when your punting with their money for the day.

I snagged that one but only with a small saver bet and at usual BetEasy crappier odds. Still in front from the UK/France/South Efrican races overnight thankfully

Reckon there is 3 real good chances today that ive multied up @ $22
Hawkesbury
R3-1 California Cible
R8-8 Live and Loaded
Both scratched yesterday in races they were a chance in
Swan Hill
R7-4 King of Hastings
2nd to Prezado at last start is very good form for this

Bit of mail for SR5-2 currently $4.40

[Brodlach]

I like Swan Hill Race 5 Punk Princess, a BB. Currently $41 but I got $101 on Friday. Will be in this from gate 3 for a long way. Really good win two starts back, last start was 4-5 wide the whole way and wasn’t beaten far

[JK]

3 BBs running in the Swan Hill Cup, not expecting anything from them so maybe box a quinella.

Inn Keeper $5.50
Anjana $16
Reward With Return $18

And a small multi play:

Ipswich 6-4
Swan Hill 7-8 (pl)
Hawkesbury 8-16 (pl)

Fixed at $77 this morning, but reckon could get closer to $100 on Tote or with a boost

Two legs down in the multi, good luck JK!

Give me 50, ill back it on the nose, dead set certainty to run 2nd or 3rd

What do you mean by minimum lay of $30? as in liability?

[Booney]

Very pleased with my efforts over the last two weekends. I'd had three shocking weekends in a row, couldn't back a winner, was getting 3 of 4 quaddie legs, nothing was working so I took a step back, still been watching them but have hardly had a punt on anything for nearly 3 weeks. Just a few little plays here and there.

[DOC]

Started watching it thinking it was down a straight.

I assume the tactic is to mess with how far ahead they judge he is or to simply not worry about him?

Nash Rawiller’s ride in the last at Warwick Farm yesterday was a little similar to that.

Faster Ground out there, cost him a few lengths going out there but genius move.
