The four legged game: the R3 Forum racing thread

[Petrushka]

Tomorrow I'm going for Venezia in the 3.35 Newmarket. Not given a hard time at Sandown on debut, I understand this attractive grey colt has been pleasing team Cecil in his subsequent work on the gallops. Main danger could be the Irish newcomer Johann Strauss !!

As a fun each way outsider I shall also be on Agent Allison in the 4.10 Newmarket. It just may be that the long straight of the Rowley Mile will suit a horse who never quite settled round the bends at Great Yarmouth last month but who was finishing to some purpose.

Thanks Alison. My tips haven't been doing well just lately so...

I spotted Agent Allison a while back but didn't impress (forget where and when now). Hope its improved since.

For the Arc on Sunday at Longchamps I'll be on Ruler of the World to complete the Derby/Arc double. Main danger is Novellist in my view.

[Petrushka]

My own tips for today:

Ascot 2.05 Outer Space 5/1
Ascot 3.15: Ladyship 10/1
Ascot 3.50: Redvers 10/1

Good luck all!

Thanks Alison and Petrushka,I appreciate your efforts.
I've gone for wierd and wonderful combinations of all 5 horses.
We must be due a change of luck.

[Petrushka]

Another blank. This must be the longest losing run I've had and am wondering if I am putting too much pressure on myself by coming on here. Whatever it is I'm bowing out of offering tips and having a rethink. Perhaps go back to the way I used to do it (last possible moment on a Saturday morning!)

Disappointing to see the Moore/Stoute combo failing to make the grade on recent Saturday's. How typical that Moore yet again gets a winner from a spare ride!

Bad luck to Alison as well.

Disappointing. Venezia came on strongly again at the end but had faltered near the famous bushes while Agent Allison nearly got third spot which would have paid quite nicely at the 20-1 I had been pleased to secure.

Gospel Choir is a Stoute horse still with a future while Ladyship sadly isnt quite Group class.

That's a shame Pet,I've enjoyed following you selections,for me it's just been a bit of fun for a small outlay.

Good luck with your future punting.

Had a rethink and halved my stake and doubled my horses. There must be a winner or two here! Prices taken at Betfred this morning.

Newmarket 2.05: Amarillo 9/1
York 2.20: Out of Bounds 8/1
Newmarket 2.35: Sudirman 9/2
York 2.55: Outer Space 4/1
York 3.30: Louis the Pious 11/1
Newmarket 3.50 Lieutenant Miller 12/1

Good luck all.

Very best of luck Pet - I always enjoy reading about the FoR3 team's exploits

[Barbirollians]

I am going for Tiger Cliff and Pupil at Newmarket ew today .

I agree and will be backing Sudirman.

I agree, always good to watch experts at work.

Given up on Libranno, Pet ?

I am wondering if it could finally be Sir Mark Prescott's turn in the Cesarewitch ? Pallasator ew.

You must be getting excited about the new Cheltenham season, Barbs.

[Barbirollians]

Can't wait !

I always think this day at Chepstow is the true start of the jumps season - Free Handicap Hurdle day as it once was on the BBC .

I could see Libranno surprising a few today - rid of his 8lb G2 penalty and reunited with Richard Hughes on a straight track.

[Petrushka]

Given up on Libranno, Pet ?.

Afraid so, Alison. Got me some good money in the past but previous runs this season haven't inspired much confidence. Interesting that Richard Hughes is back on board but can't see a return to the form of last year. An exasperating horse to back.

Looking forward to the jumps myself. The Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby is the beginning of the jumps season for me and one on which I usually collect.

[Barbirollians]

Libranno 3rd - 20-1 ew - a return to form by the old boy .

[Alison]

Fairly pleased with each way success on Libranno and Pallasator. Always worth seeking out bookmakers paying out on 5 places in the impossible handicaps!

Couldn't really believe the price of Libranno.
