Newmarket 3.45

Result: -Finished 2nd. Prince Siegfried Lost -5 points
Godolphin have dominated this race in recent years and again look to have the strongest canidate in the form of Prince Siegfried (6/5 Betfair). This easy winner of the Doonside Cup at Ayr should prove too good for the likes of Hebridean.
Stakes: - 4 Points win Prince Siegfried
1 Point straight forecast Siefried to beat Hebridean.

Wetherby 2.40
Result: -Showed up well but his big burden told in the end.
Knight Legend Lost -2 Points
Knight Legend (Betfair 11/1) Formerly with Jessica Harrington in Ireland and now switches to Philip Hobbs care. Has been running against some topclass chasers and this could be seen as a drop in class and despite the weight he has to give away to the rest of the field and one or two improvers lurking he could make his class tell in this field.
Stakes: - 2 Points win Knight Legend

Kempton 8.50
Result: -Won with something to spare.
Dubai Meydan Won +25 points
Rare punt on the AW but will take plenty of the 5/1 available about this Gay Kelleway gelding. Put up a good performance last time to finish 3rd behind Captain Macarry over C&D and could find his way through this lot without mishap.


Haydock 4.00
Result: - Look to "blow-up" before two out..
Sir Batwick Lost -2 Points
Sir Bathwick (5/1 Betfair) could be readied for this his seasonal bow and has nothing to fear from these if in the right frame of mind. Jaunty Times is now becoming well handicapped but he has been tried in all-sorts of headgear last spring to no avail.
Stakes: -
2 points win Sir Bathwick
5 Point win Dubai Meydan

Wincanton 3.00

Result: - Won this easily more to come.
Toby Jug Won +8 Points
Toby Jug (4/1 Betfair) Looks to one with most potential to improve even further and has the right jockey, Timmy Murphy, when patience is required and he is carring top weight here and could need to save something for late on in this Class 2 handicap.

Stakes: - 2 Point win Toby Jug

Goodwood 3.45

Result: -Never at the races. Weld Park Lost -1 Point.
Weald Park (40/1 Betfred) is the one that stands out as he could well improve after a break and with The Fifth Member looking the danger it is worth having a half point EW on the Hannon runner finding a place in this exposed field of handicappers.
Stakes: -
1/2 Point EW Weald Park

Saturday 10th
Ascot 4.40
Result: -Every chance just not good enough Azizi Lost - 1 Point
Azizi (6/4 Betfair) comes from the same ownership as Nayef who won this in 2000 and despite so many dangers lurking the Haafhd colt can prove he is still improving enough to take this after making his way through the Nusery route.

Ascot 3.30

Result: - No show Yellowstone Lost -1 Point
Yellowstone (50/1 Betfair) has had a break and despite wanting some headgear he could well prove able to accquit himself amongst these without his usual pleats. This former Aiden O'Brien Group 3 winner is back down to a lenient Handicap mark of 99 and I believe this could well be a good day for his owners who have runners at three meetings.
Stakes: -
1/2 point EW Yellowstone
1 Point Win Azizi

Longchamp 3.15
Result: - Class racehorse and a pure joy to watch. He again proved his constitution is top drawer by getting into trouble mid-race and then winning like everything went to plan,  class, class animal. The clock didn't lie. Sea The Stars Won +10.5 points(6.5 from September and 4 from today).
Sea The Stars (4/5 Betfair)already carries some interest from September and he has found all the cards falling in his favour with both the weather and draw being kind to his needs and with minimal improvement he can follow his Dam, Urban Sea, into the history books by winning the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He has shown improvement nearly everytime he has run this season and his lazy long striding style of running masks a very fast animal indeed and his turn-of-foot off a fast pace is the class aspect that is required to win these type of races.
Stakes: -
5 point win Sea The Stars
OCTOBER
Starting this month, October, off with a points based betting Bank which seems in line with other blogs on here and on other websites. I will also mark-up the previous two months losses as from a 100 point bank. Therefore £500/100=5. Therefore I have incurred losses of 71.7(100-28.5) points during August and September.
August Monday 31st £304 P/L -£196 or -39.2 points
September 30th £141.5 P/L £162.5 or -32.5.
I have also included July using the £5000 bank as a 100 point Bank and converting the profit into points
I can see the logic in this approach and would like to thank those who kindly helped me with this aspect. I shall use a textbox to keep this monthly total updated.

October 1st
A new month but with no respite in the lack of winners last month and a sabbatical from betting is surely the way forward with Sea The Stars in the Arc being the only wager.
