He's still convinced he knows everything about everything , it's the one thing that he's definitely wrong about .

Once again you answer in a way that suits your argument...I guess you must have a share in one at TA lets hope its not shipped south the results down there are..well poor at best.

Yes 100% convinced now you are nothing but a 🤡..a know it all one at that....🤣

Where are the stats for Southern Stable you refer to?  Or are your green tinted glasses making them up? 3 wins last Saturday at Riccarton including a Listed race.  To date for the 24/25 season. 104 wins 16 Group and Listed wins (not shyte mid week races) $8.5m in stakes (close to $10m if you include bonuses) 6.45 Strike rate. That's the facts with my "rose tinted glasses off"!

Tend to agree about Guerin.  

Putting aside the fact that the odds of the $2 favourite or any favourite winning is about 34%. Which means the odds of a 3 event multi happening with 3 favourites is 4% or 1 in 25.   What you are suggesting is @sunlineboy breaks even every 2 bets (1 dvided by 2 = 50%) and that @nomates breaks even every 8 bets (1 divided 8 = 12.5%).  The reality is that according to probability theory either could have a very long run of outs.  So in order to break even they need to increase their bets Sunline after every two losses and Nomates after every 8th loss. The reality is both can't make money on probabilities unless the win chance on favourites is greater than 50%.  Lucky for those relying on stakes funded by punters it isn't.

Very true.  Staking, discipline and finding value is just as key to punting success as finding the winners. Last year I was running two accounts - my own for the serious bets, and my wifes account for the easybet quaddies and fun "on the fly" bets.  I think it's important to distinguish between the two and stake accordingly. These days I stick to a 50c Heinz 57 multi each Saturday with value runners in the $5 to $15 odd range (outlay $28.50), along with a $20 multi on some more certain runners, and often finish the day with a couple of easybet quaddies in the Aus racing. Well done on last weeks return.  I had one very similar to yours but missed on Leica Lucy finishing 4th.   Leg 1: 9. Croupier - Fixed Win @ 1.94 Trentham R4 Leg 2: 1. Leica Lucy - Top 3 @ 1.40 Randwick R6 Leg 3: 12. Via Sistina - Fixed Win @ 2.00 Randwick R8 Leg 4: 1. Fangirl - Fixed Win @ 2.00   Good luck with your one tomorrow.  All this moisture is welcome I assume.

Great post PK , the one thing I will say in mitigation , and it applies to both forms of betting , in the end it comes down to how selective one is in backing horses , the biggest failure most punters have is backing a horse when they know they shouldn't , self control . I am 2/2 so far this year and in all probability won't have another till the spring carnivals come around with the top horses , not to say I won't be able to stop myself having the odd singles bet I shouldn't .

Owners and patrons too is my guess. No fun for anyone.

More on the Craven meeting and the week so far in general in my next. As I said in my previous, not an exciting weekend up here in Britain with quantity rather than quality the order of the day. The highlight in Ireland is the three day Fairyhouse Easter Festival which starts on Saturday. Not perhaps the meeting it was thenks to the growth of Punchestown in a couple of weeks but a few decent races still. Sunday sees two championship races - first, the 4000m WillowWarm Gold Cup Chase and Willie Mullins has such strength in depth that while he continues to campaign for the British trainers' championship, he still has seven of the fourteen entries in this. BALLYBURN cost me at Cheltenham I'm afraid and is on a retrieval mission. I really thought the 4850m at Prestbury would be ideal but he was never travelling or jumping with any fluency. At this best, he'll pick these up and carry them but that can't be relied on. ILE ATLANTIQUE was beaten a long way by MAJBOROUGH in the Irish Arkle but could be better back up in trip. SPINDLEBERRY is a lightly raced but improving mare who could well be in contention. The Honeysuckle Mares Novices Hurdle over 4000m does see some Cheltenham form put to the test at this intermediate trip. THE BIG WESTERNER was second in the Albert Bartlett over 4800m but faces a number of novices moving up from the 3200m. AIR OF ENTITLEMENT won the Grade 2 Mares Novices event at Cheltenham beating SIXANDAHALF and you'd fancy both to improve over the additional trip. I always prefer horses stepping up in trip rather than those coming back and there's very little between AIR OF ENTITLEMENT and SIXANDAHALF on Cheltenham form as they were split by half a length. Willie Mullins has eight of the nineteen entries but he might struggle in this one - AURORA VEGA and MAUGHEEN were well behind at Cheltenham and KAROLINE BANDOU, fourth but nearly ten lengths behind AIR OF ENTITLEMENT looks to have plenty on to reverse the form on identical terms. Monday is Irish Grand National day and the big race is run over 5800m but an English raider, HAITI COULEURS, from the Rebecca Curtis yard, is currently 11/2 favourite. Three Grade 2 races on the mOnday which I'll mention briefly. The Juvenile Hurdle looks a weak renewal - WENDROCK was sixth in the Triumph at Cheltenham and fifth in the Aintree equivalent and this will be a much easier mission. Of the 19 entries in the 4000m hurdle, Mullins has six and Gordon Elliott has five. JIMMY DU SEUIL won a 4200m handicap at Cheltenham and while this looks tougher, I'm not sure it is. The 4000m chase has five Mullins versus three Elliott in a field of twelve. HEART WOOD was second in the Ryanair at Cheltenham and that's very strong form given the winner, FACT OR FILE, will likely be taking on the big guns (though not INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN) at Punchestown.
