On a decent mark
May 7th, 2008 by Bert
The first piece of collateral form for Bouguereau comes today with Patkai, who runs in the final race at Chester. I like him as a bet. He was staying on in the Newbury race and will surely benefit from the extra two furlongs - he may also prefer the ground today. 90 doesn’t look like too harsh a mark and the Stoute team are going a lot better now than they were a few weeks back.
I like Froissee in the 3:40 at Beverley, running for Simon Callaghan who took over from his father this year. The stable could certainly be doing better but it’s no disaster - I think Froissee may be better than his bare form and everything is thereabouts right for him today - worth a look at a big price. In the 4:50 Piccolo Pete looks likely to give a good account of himself - he should appreciate the extra furlong and again conditions look thereabouts right for him.
Tonight we run Kings Head at Huntingdon. We were hoping for a good run last time but he ran like a drain, which was disappointing. Conditions today are better with firmer ground and a likely faster race which we think will suit. I’m quietly hopeful.
Hi bert,
Still not punting and trying to work through my problems. just watched the plunge on Kings Head and resisted the temptation to get on and even though i have just watched it romp home i feel sort of good that i didnt punt blindly.
I enjoy racing but have to face the fact my gambling became compulsive and i am in a lot of shit because of it.
If you lose your license again andrew i am available at £2000 a week with delightful conversation thrown in for free.
Well done for Kings Head, about time your lick changed
Stephen

Bert,
Did u lump on KH’s?
Micko - I had a pretty good bet but I should have had more. KH owed me a few quid and it was all right for him.
Stephen - stick with it.
Harry - I fancy my Saturday bets will work out ok. Is Burning Flute (by Piccolo) the next Winker then?
