Been a decent day

Galway 7.00 Atasari @ 14/1 E/W

Handicap tried again after Group failure's off 102 has ran to 109 at best could be around abouts if still holding that talent.

But it is also the correct application of the rule as it is the stake which is relevant and not the odds. In a two-way dead-heat you have half a winner and therefore half of the stake is settled at the applicable odds and half the stake is lost.

Tomorrows Gordon Stakes looks a cracking group 3 and as wide open as you like. All bar Circumvent and Film Score hold St Leger entries. Just a shame Godolphin's interesting looking Simon De Montfort isn't running for whatever reason. Wouldn't like to try and pick a winner but would like to see Dandino win another. Not a race to get too involved in unless there is a strong whisper.

Lord Shanakill @ 8/1 E/W for the Betfair Cup. Had a nice confidence booster at Chester, and Henry Cecil is a master at giving a horse a confidence booster to get his head in front before moving on to something better.

Stone of Folca to finally break his maiden in the Molecomb. Ran two blinders in defeat at Royal Ascot and his trainer reckons he is the fastest horse he has ever trained, rumoured to be going for the Nunthorpe to try and take advantage of the weight allowance if he does the business here. Almost unheard of opposing the Hannon runners in a race like this but I reckon my selection can frank the Ascot form in front of Zebedee.
In the same race, Lord of the Stars looks to have a little bit of E/W value for Ralph Beckett, at 9/1. On the upgrade and should be one to watch.

Goodwood 2.10 Indian Days place (4) 4.3

Goodwood 3.25 Balthazaars Gift place 5/2

Galway 5.10 Clonard Lad place 4.3

Galway 7.00 Atasari 16/1 E/W

Any regrets mate?

Yes decided to go place bet instead of my normal E/W nevermind profit is a profit

Aye, a shame it was such a big price too. Well done anyway.

Yeah better that nothing but still bugger

Wish I'd managed to get an E/W patent on those three but had a bit of a hectic day at work, didn't have time to sneak off to the bookies.

An each-way patent for a quid per bet would've returned 44 from the 14 stake.

Although Indian Days would've made a nice E/W lucky 15.

Good shout on Lord Shanakill

Clonard Lad just managed the place goodday with a decent E/W shot left to run.
