Saturday Punt - 4 Feb 2023

[Ken4155]

4 races from Sandown (1st leg 1.45), 2 from Musselburgh and one from Leopardstown make up today's ITV7.

Don't know about any of you punters out there, but i find it quite ridiculous that, in a field of 8 runners, one trainer (the usual suspect) is responsible for FIVE of them. Okay, we have to believe that all 5 deserve their place in the line-up as 4 of them are in the first 5 in the market, but i still find it a tad off-putting. Of course, i'm not for one moment suggesting there could be some skulduggery afoot, but it is an excellent opportunity for a stable to dictate the way the race is run and therefore the outcome?

Morning punters. ... we are here Carrot.

Not only that particular race Ken The same trainer has 32 of the 56 runners at the whole meeting and 5 of the 8 runners in the ITV7 leg. The way to kill racing for sure. The flat scene is going in a similar direction with one "family" beginning to dictate and dominate too.

Looks like i'm on a few outsiders, today :-))

1.45 San; Eclair D'ainay @ 22/1
2.03 Mu; Captain Cattistock @ 10/1 - 5 places
3.16 Mus; Nayati @ 4/1 - 5 places
3.30 San; Equus Dancer @ 11/1 - 5 places

Win and e.w. singles, 20p L15, £1.50 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £73, 4 winners = ...............................................£15,538.

I've also taken a leaf out of your book, Togo, and done 25p e.w. doubles and trebles, just in case.

Also a £1 e.w. single on Dolphin Square whose price @ 20/1 i can't really understand.

ITV7; above 5 qualifiers plus, Balco Coastal (not in ew. acca) and Appreciate It. £1 e.w. acca.

Best of luck, all. Time to settle in and watch a depleted Clarets take on Norwich in the early kick off.

Started to type it up in the wrong thread. Carrot has got me more befuddled than ever. :))
ITV7 done as per usual and split the selections into two further bets. If it goes the usual par shape early I can cover the remaining runners as ya do. Will get a Rugby punt on later, probably a couple of scorecasts, so may be a bit frugal with my stakes to kick off. Good Luck everyone. ****E/W Acca, Win Doubles & Trebles. ### Win Trixie.

Green Book very nicely ridden by Charlie Deutsch.

[Ken4155]

Some excellent punting there, Togo. Whereabouts in Wales did you say the free bar was at? :-)))

[Togo]

Just had to pour myself a large Macallan after that last race Ken. Thought he looked a bit shot going to the last and after he rallied I felt like I had ridden it. Had £234 back from Skybet and £1308 from 365. Just shy of £1550. Thing is when Capt. Cattistock came 2nd I covered the other 3 with a £1 trixie. If it had won I would be looking at about £150k. No complaints though. Total stakes were £12. :))

[Ken4155]

Nice lift, T. Pleased for you. Save some for Cheltenham.

[Togo]

Yep Ken. Cheltenham is paid for and an Easter break for 2 nights in Beaumaris at top Hotel. Now for the rugby. :))

Done half a doz. Scorecasts. First try scorer and correct score 5 point spread.
