Another Tricky Day At Chester!

Todays card at Chester has a similar look to yesterdays in that there are a number of trappy looking handicaps and a few 3 year old races where it is hard to get an accurate handle on how some of these horses have wintered and improved. Not really the kind of races we feel offer suitable betting opportunities and unfortunately we have drawn a blank as far as account bets are concerned.

We spent quite a bit of time on the 3.15 at Chester and we were both of the opinion that from the worst draw and on the back of a fillies maiden win in an average time, Stoutes Cheveley Park owned runner, RESORT, was one to take on at the likely prices. The two that we felt were overpriced and could possibly cause an upset were FOUNDATION ROOM and VIVA RONALDO. These are both available at decent double figure odds and both have pieces of form in the book which make us believe that they could belie their current odds. Too speculative to go on the account but there is a race of interest at Windsor later on this evening and if we find anything strong enough one of us will post up by 6pm.

Good Luck!

I spent a lot of time on the race too M & G..
Didn't make any difference when the horse misses the break.
No Excuses, just a bit of bad luck on this one today as running round what is effectively a round-a-bout though is fraught with such dangers in the circumstances, and though looking to be going well after it doesn't help that the jock leaves it till the last bend to try and make his play!

Until next time

Hi Anthony,

Hope you enjoyed your holiday.

It seems the two we liked finished 3rd and 4th with very little luck in running. Unfortunately these sorts of things happen at Chester. As you point out it is fraught with danger, that's one of the reasons we decided against a bet in the end. We were all correct in wanting to take on the morning favourite at the prices and if we keep finding these false favourites to take on we'll be successful in the long term.

Good luck mate, catch up again soon,

Mick
