Anyone Fancy A Lay?

A relatively busy day for us with two selections so far and they could hardly be more different, could they? We see the first as our idea of the most likely winner with questions concerning whether or not the favourite will be suited by the way race will be run and see out the trip effectively enough to win today. Our second selection runs in a far more competitive looking race but it has a decent record of running well fresh and we believe it's over priced.

345 Sandown - VIRTUAL 2 points win at 3/1 (generally available)

450 Sandown - STEVIE THUNDER 1 point each way at 20/1 (Bet365 BOG), 16/1 elsewhere


We have decided to put Virtual up on here at the price which is generally available although we've actually backed it at a slightly longer 100/30. The price of 4/1 with Coral, quoted by Pricewise, was never seen by us and I'm led to believe it was about for a whole seven minutes so well done if you're the lucky one who got that!

Over the last few weeks we have opposed a large number of favourites, particularly on the all weather. Whilst we haven't always backed the winner of these races in almost every case the favourite has been beaten, often at a short price and often finishing out of the places. We have been asked to highlight as many of these "false" favourites as we can in future, even if we are not backing anything else in the race ourselves. We are happy to do so and we will include a "Laying Places" section on the right hand side of the blog for everyone to see. As has always been the case, the only profits shown on here will continue to be those generated by the horses we are backing. If people make money trading and laying some of these other horses that we've highlighted then good for them.

Let's hope we get a couple of decent runs for our money this afternoon. I will be back on here later if we're betting at Wolverhampton this evening. Good luck if you're playing today.
