THE BETTING STRATEGY

Year to date: +83.00 points

Thursday 30 December 2021

Yesterday was one of those days when absolutely nothing went right for us. Megan was kept at the rear for much of the race but when making an effort struggled to close on the leading two and finished 3^rd. Kaizer finished 5^th having led for much of the race and I think he might need further. Gericault Roque ran a great race to finish 2^nd to Saint Palais and was unlucky in meeting a top class horse. He will be winning in due course. Go Dante struggled throughout the race to finish a remote 4^th and Flash Collonges fared little better and was pulled up.

LOSS OF 10.00 pointS

All Selections are settled to Betfair SP

1.00 Haydock

Torn And Frayed                       3 points win   

1.15 Taunton

Brave Kingdom                          2 points win

Analysis

1.0      Haydock

I think that Torn And Frayed has made a decent start to his chasing career and was only narrowly denied off this mark in a similar event over 2m3f at Ascot two starts ago and he was not disgraced when chasing home My Drogo at Cheltenham last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts today would give him a big chance here and hopefully he can oblige for us..

1.15 Taunton

I thought that Brave Kingdom was mightily impressive when winning on his hurdles debut at Chepstow on November 3rd. He led all the way, extending away all the time and looked to be a seriously good horse. So I was a little disappointed with his performance in a Grade 2 race at Sandown last time. This is easier and I would be surprised if he didn’t win this today.
