Thanks, June! In Profit But Still Things To Learn (Plus Reviews And Previews)

It’s the first year I have ever actually made a note of my bets and from only having fifteen bets in May, I more than doubled that in June. This is a result of having plenty more trackers each day. The good thing about keeping tabs on my bets means I can try to see where I went wrong with my losing bets. I made a profit with my selections in June but I still think I have way too many bets. First time out 2-year-olds seem to be a bit of a downfall for me as Plymouth Rock showed yesterday. I will still note any trackers making their debut but I need to be careful betting on them, if I miss the first time out winner it's just tough. These are my June bets to a one pound stake. Most are 2-year-old trackers which I try to add to each post I write.

Profit 13  (1 pound stake) hopefully I have done the maths right here. 


Saturday Review: 

With all the controversy with the Irish Derby yesterday I was glad I kept well away from the Irish racing with my personal bets. My opinion for what it is worth is that you just never know which horse to bet on in Ireland especially with the Aidan O’Brien horses as they all seem to either beat each other or are never fully tuned up first-time out. 

Which brings me on to Plymouth Rock who is part-owned by none other than Michael Tabor, I am still convinced this filly has ability even after a clueless performance yesterday, I did have a small win bet on him myself. First, of my trackers yesterday was Hubert and Homespin in the 1.40 at Windsor. I didn’t know which horse to back and in the end, I didn't bet on either. Homespin won and Hubert came second which was a good result for my trackers but not so good for me, the forecast paid nearly 30 quid. 

I had a small each way bet on King’s View who performed better than his debut run but was out the frame, he could pick up a small race this season. Another tracker I mentioned was Raahy who showed his class and won X Force by 4-lengths with my other tracker Cool Sphere back in third. I mentioned a 3-year-old called Mubtasimah on my Twitter feed yesterday. Trained by William Haggas, she was given a Group 1 entry as a 2-year-old but didn't run. I thought she should be able to easily beat the 75 rated Social Guest and it turned out I was right for once as she quickened up like a good filly to win by an impressive 9-lengths and the 4/5 I got was even more impressive. I look forward to seeing what she can do this season. The Saturday Trixie was awful and that's all I can say. 

Timeform Early Declaration Alert and Preview: 

18:00 Catterick 01 Jul 2019: Mia Diva for John Quinn, yes after Saturdays Plymouth Rock you would think I would be giving John Quinn a miss but the fact that Mia Diva made her debut in a Class 2 conditions race is a sign this filly has ability plus she was nibbled from 20/1 to 16/1 before the off. It was a pleasing debut to be honest and she only tired in the last furlong. The negative is the 74-day lay off, I am guessing there must have been a problem, so I will be keeping a close eye on the market before I bet, plus two winners in the field make it an interesting race.

  1. Well done, Craig. That is a decent profit and could have been much more with a couple of close calls.
