What one really had to do on June 1st, was follow those horses with a past record of running well after a lay off over 60 days or more. If they had proven form on the track, that was a bonus. I managed two of the biggest priced winners of the day - Zodiakos (25/1) and Queen Of Kalahari (16/1). I also had 2 that were beaten by a the thickness of a fag paper in photo finishes:-( None of mine were tipped up in the press.Togo also had a decent day with Brian The Snail and Oakenshield.
To be fair to newspaper tipsters, though, they do have to tip in every race. We, as punters, can pick and choose.

Now that we are almost a week back into the racing, it would probably pay to side with those trainers who have had a few winners over the last 5 days. Proves that they have their string ticking over.
Watching the first couple of days, it was quite obvious which jockeys had kept themselves quite fit during the lockdown. Some of the others were blowing like me after a walk up Pendle :-)

Haha, I've said that for years, jj. And we have to remember that these tipsters are privy to 'inside knowledge' from the stables. Before it's demise, I was a member of a gambling forum on Racing UK. I believe the current Newsboy in the Daily Mirror to be one of the worst tipsters it has ever been my misfortune to take any heed of. So much so that my username on that site was, 'defonotnewsboy'.

Only a mug's game Bob if you allow yourself to be seduced by it. Togo and myself have said many times on here that, to us, it is just fun. Neither of us gamble to 'get rich'. As the age old saying goes; 'The only way to make a small fortune from gambling is to begin with a large fortune'.
Wasn't yesterday's race being treated as a pipe-opener for Stradivarius?
