Massive winner at Taunton
Posted by Peter Webb in Horse Racing on January 9th, 2012
One of those great racing moments today when ‘Lights of Broadway’ romped home at Taunton at odds of 810-1000 depending on when you backed it. It SP’d at 810!! Second and third placed horses came in at big odds too meaning it was a monster forecast, but I can’t imagine anybody got it?
Guineas
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on April 30th, 2011
I had a fantastic result on the Guineas last year, when just about everything fell into place nicely. This year already looks a bit tougher so I can’t assure myself of a similar result, but will try my best to make something happen. The much vaunted ‘Frankel’ is currently trading at 1.59 which should generate a lot of volume today, but whether it does much else is another question! I’ll be reviewing the Guineas trade, amongst others, in my next course.
I’ve had a couple of really good moral boosting days this week so I am in good spirits and will enter today with some enthusiasm. As I have stated before I am working in some new, complimentary, areas recently and most have some promise. Some are definitely in the unknown category at the moment, but you don’t make progress by standing still, do you?
Winner at odds of 1000 at Wetherby

Big shock in the 16:00 at Wetherby where the complete and utter rank outsider, Maoi Chinn Tire, won the race. I didn’t get this one but have bagged some before. £912 matched at 1000 before the off!!!
Crianza

I’ve had a few beers on Crianza this evening after it romped home at Redcar today. Nothing remarkable about a horse winning a race, but Crianza came in at odds of 1000 and I had money on.
It’s the second time I have managed this, the last time was on Bermondsey Bob at Salisbury in August 2008. Therefore I assume the mean return time of this sort of thing happening is around once every two years. The funny thing was I didn’t even realise at first as I was already looking at the next race and hadn’t paid any attention to the finish of the previous race. It was only when one of the team piped up all excited that I realised what had happened. A major bonus on what has been a very tricky and difficult week.
I am already looking forward to the next one in 2012!
1000 Guineas
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on May 1st, 2010
Rather bizarrely I managed to get just over 1000 Guineas in profit on the 2000 Guineas. Does this mean I will get 2000 on the 1000? I doubt it, but it was an excellent day. I just happened to have one of those days where everything just seemed to slot into place. I managed a clean sweep on all 44 races I traded today. It’s so nice to do that, but I think you have to be realistic and accept that a day like that is rare. I had a stinker yesterday, so it was a pleasant surprise because I had set my expectations to a much lower level for today. Tomorrow I will have go at the fillies race and see what I can get from that, I am not expecting a repeat performance!
I am currently looking at the Kentucky Derby. I’ve never traded this successfully in the past and I am currently debating whether I try tonight. I’ve have a rule that even if I think it won’t work out, I should try anyhow. It’s another chance to learn and try to get it right for the future. Good luck if you are having a go, I have a friend at the track and he tells me the weather is horrible!
