July 30th – Horse Racing (Running Total +$3865)
Not much doing for us today with a fairly average days racing and more wet tracks. We may have a late mail tip at Northam but I need to check out a bit more about the track bias and conditions first.
The Bets for today
Ballarat Race 2 – 7. PLACID DUKE
Ballarat Race 6 – 5. LADY LISBON
Gosford Race 3 – 10. IN LIGHTEN
In the first race at Gosford I noticed 10. HILELIABELLE had the booking of Danny Nikolic and it’s his only one of the day. It’s very rare for a top line jockey like Nickolic to go all the way to the track for just one bet. This horse is a first starter and I’ve seen no trial form so I have nothing else to go on but it’s worth a $50 each way bet as I’ve seen these get up more often than not.
Results
There was specking for our (rough chance) horse in Hilelliabelle who loomed as the winner in the straight before being swamped in the final 100m running 4th. PLACID DUKE ($4.00/$1.51) then got us off to a winning day doing it in solid fashion. In Lighten had a dream run in front and looked a good chance till another horse flew by it and made it go for home at the 600. This cost it in the end as it gobbled up the runaway horse but was left a sitting duck for the pack who came late to grab it in the final 50 to run third. We finished the day in stunning fashion with LADY LISBON ($7.50/$1.82) steamed down the outside to win and finish us a huge profit on the day. It was even matched at $10 on betfair before the jump!!
Profit for today +$750
