The Pat Benatar
 

After a brief sojourn into the dark arts of laying, Schmiley is back with an infallible system that is sure to *make us all rich beyond our wildest dreams!!

RULES
1/ Bet for THE PLACE ONLY
2/ Minimum acceptable price $1.30
3/ 3-5yo horses only
4/ Good up to Soft (5) tracks only
5/ Natural pattern of racing, must settle in first 4 horses
6/ Staking 1, 2.66 // If selection wins, start staking sequence again. If it loses, next bet is 2.66. If 2 losers in a row, wait for winner before starting new sequence.

The theory is we'll minimise long losing runs by waiting for a winner to be struck before betting again.


THE SELECTIONS
15:05 Werribee 4-9 Euchre Star // Sett 2nd/3rd / 3yF

16:45 Armidale 7-1 Another Charger C $2.9/1.48 // Sett 1st // 4yG

17:15 Bathurst 6-8 Pay Zone Princess C $3.25/1.53 // Sett 1st // 3yF

Bank: $3660 (allowing for 20 Outs)

*Actual results may vary from the over-hyped madness inherent in Schmiley's threads.

"Let me at em"

I just looked up a list of Pat Benatar greatest hit songs and couldn't work out what the thread referred to.

Love (Racing) is a Battlefield?
Invincible?
All Fired Up?
Little Too Late?
Ooh Ooh Song (as in Oh ho!)?
Hit Me With Your Best Shot?

But then I saw it - You Better Run.

:D :D :D

Good luck with it TS.

Hi TS,

If I may, where are you getting your settling position from? I assume you mean its predicted settling position is to be in the top 4?

Cheers

Josh

A fine start!

A SCHMORGASBORD of winners
 

Hi TheOcho,

I was referring to 'Hit me with your best shot' after my brief foray into laying....as always bud, I LOVE your analysis!!!

Evajb, I just used the formguide based on last start at this distance.

RESULTS
16:45 Armidale 7-1 Another Charger C $2.9/1.48
WON $2.75/1.39

17:15 Bathurst 6-8 Pay Zone Princess C $3.25/1.53
WON $3.27/1.7

TOO SHORT
15:05 Werribee 4-9 Euchre Star WON $1.93/1.12

OUT 2 IN 3 (after commission)
PL +1 S/R 2/2

Thanks for that TheSchmile.

Good job today.

No selections today
 

Soft 7 at Taree, Shazza's Bubbles would've almost made the cut, without the soft ground. Apprentice on top though who hasn't won previously. Needs to roll forward as it did 3 starts ago in better company with Thompson aboard. No real pace in the race as far as I can see.

Also looked at Abbreviate in race 6 at Tatura. Bit concerned about the 60 kg's and the $2.25/1.25 opening quote.

Happy to look on today and see what tomorrow brings.

Best of luck to anyone having a play today, yesterday was a rare day. Had two other selections not listed that were midfield/backmarkers and they both got up at $4.8 & $3.

Collective odds $3+$4.8+$1.93+2.75+$3.27=.33x.208x.518x.363x.305
=0.0039% chance of that happening anytime soon.

Thanks Jose and TheOcho for your encouragement!!

A good day to sit back and watch
 

Weight told with Abbreviate prob wants 1600+ plus as well.

Shazza's bubbles needs the hand of an experienced jock and probably needing 1400m. Copped a slight check at the top of the straight but never appeared to be travelling that well under the riding of K. Kirkwood.

Blackbook Abbreviate (1600+) and move on to tomorrow.

Have a lovely evening!

One selection today
 

Sandown
15:45 5-3 Marrakesh - $4/1.75 // Sett 1st/2nd // 3yF
Carries 60 kg's but gets some relief from the apprentice M. Dee that rode her last start into a close second at track & distance.

Have a joyous day won't you one and all!

No joy yesterday
 

Marrakesh finished 5th yesterday, which means we have to release, 'drum roll please'..........THE RECOVERY STAKE!!! (Cue screaming hordes)

Pinjarra
16:10 3-5 Stephansdom $2.1/1.25 // Sett 2nd // 3G

Stake 2.66 Again, minimum price $1.30

RESULTS
OUT 3 IN 3 EV
SR 2/3 66%

These darn things keep winning!!
 

So much for a place thread!

In my search for good things, I've inadvertently found some nice win commodities, thus far at least. My other pick today was going to be Seymour race 6 no. 4 Majestic Duke, which got the chocolates at $6/1.9. I decided against posting it as the 3 kg apprentice was on for the first time.

Anyhoot, officially no bet today as Stephansdom won at $1.75/1.15.

Have a fine evening won't you!

If these keep going we all will.
Cheers

Suffering from performance anxiety
 

Oh, and lack of time!

Hopefully back on board tomorrow.

Really interesting day with the 2yo's & Japanese raiders in Sydney & Bendigo hosting the VIC Metro meeting. I've gone cross-eyed doing the form!

Best of luck team!!

Sunday earlies
 

Facing a big day of finger painting and slippery dips with my little one tomorrow, I thought I'd get in early.

All the action seems to be at the Sunshine Coast tomorrow:

Sunshine Coast
14:40 3-1 Divine Service $2.4/1.3 // Sett 1st // 3yG C

16:33 6-3 Qabla $9/3 // Sett 1-3 // 5yG - improved horse this prep, ran a really nice race last start, 1800 seems pet distance. Has a wide barrier to overcome.

16:53 8-7 Real Tricky $7.5/2.5 - Sett 3rd // 4yG - consistent since gelded and blinkers 3 starts back.

--------------------------
'The Almosts'

Wyong
3-7 Multilevel $3/1.4 - hampered last start sett 7th
7-3 Charge Missile $4.6 - failed last start on wet track. Ran best at c 2 back sett 6th

Dubbo
3-6 Ol' Brown Eyes $3.5/1.5 - Sett 6th, blocked twice

Geraldton
8-2 Cyber Crime Sett 1st // 9yG $3.4/1.45 // Poor blighter is too old for this system.......


THE OUTSIDER
Dubbo 7-8 Prattler - best at 1600m in Slow but runs well on all surfaces $34/8

Jam and Cream
 

Didn't quite anticipate the massive storm that hit the Sunshine Coast on Sunday, resulting in a Heavy 8 so no bets.

Wouldn't you know it, the sole surviving selection, Divine Service, won at $6. It's getting a little outa hand here peeples..

Sunshine Coast
14:40 3-1 Divine Service $2.4/1.3 // Sett 1st // 3yG C

----------------
Rolling on, we head to the heart of the NSW breeding industry....

Scone
4-5 Blinkin Rockin' $5/1.73 // Sett 2nd // 5yG

Really nice run at this c two back on Good going. Happy to forgive last start on slow ground, as his good ratings are much stronger when it's dry. Three tries at the 900-950 for three 2nd placings, so perhaps a Tri with 5 for 2nd is the order of the day.

'The Shirley Bassey'
 

I'll leave it to TheOcho to decipher this posts heading.

Result
Scone 4-5 Blinkin Rockin 2nd $1.84pl

2.66x.84 = 2.23 units profit

Tri with the field for 1st & 3rd $1106

A good day's recovery.

It has to be Big Spender. Well done.
