Think it is much better than bingo! I saw a horse run a little while ago called "Stellenboche" had backed it each way at 40-1, it's price contracted to 22-1 and finished third. It is running again tomorrow (Thursday) at 3-45 at Haydock off bottom weight. Must be worth an each way interest again.
Anyone else interested, or is it all a waste of money?

Ok.it didnt run Thursday,but could run Saturday although another good horse from same stable down to run. Whatever happens he would be a Good Each Way Bet in a fortnights time in the Fred Winter Novice Hurdle at the CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL

Did't run on Saturday either, But, the horse that won the race it was entered into was also the horse that beat it previously. As Stellenboche was catching him in the first race, the uphill finish at Cheltenham is much in his favour.

Yes, I have been interested in horseracing since the age of 10 and my earliest memory is sitting on my father's shoulders at Doncaster in about 1946 in the 3/6d ring watching Admiral's Yarn, ridden by Tommy Weston, winning at 6-1 and which I had backed. Horseracing is like anything else - you can only get out of it what you put in - and is only interesting if it has some meaning for you, that is if you understand the form and take an interest in the relative merits of performances at various levels. I can tell you that it is a very difficult game to win at but it can be done if you have well based confidence in your own sound judgement and are prepared to back it in the face of the majority opinion. You stand a much better chance of winning than on dogs, as the random factor in dog racing is too great, and the overall bookies' odds too short or in ANY random game such as bingo roulette raffle or lottery. That is to say you will maintain your bank longer at horseracing than any other common betting medium. Of course you need luck or rather an absence of bad luck but do not rely on it and luck itself is insufficient. You need to be able to analyse and form an opinion about recent racing so invest in the Racing Post Weekender and study the results section. Concentrate on good class races where the horses are more genuine and do not beat themselves because they are not prepared to put in the effort to win. As for Stellenbosch I do not have an opinion without studying the race but I see that it is bottom weight because it is a 4 year old and at this time of year - all horses are deemed to have their birthdays on 1st January - and in that kind of race needs a weight concession from its elders to compete on equal terms.

Good flat horse to watch out for ANNA PAVLOVA. Flat horse can do all the way up past mile and a half.
