A much better day yesterday - back on track with a couple of winners (one for the system and one for my review).
I have a (rather OCD-ish?) routine for picking my selections for which I follow a check list. It sounds a little over the top but it helps concentrate my mind So yesterday evening, I accidentally put on some relaxing classical music whilst doing this which had a lot to do with Debussy running and yesterday's blog (the studies say it helps kids to do their homework so.....) and after my relatively successful day on Wednesday I shall stick to this classical stuff for the time being!
It would be very nice to find six winners at Newmarket on Thursday! The Tote (BetFred?) jackpot is sizing up to pay out in excess of £1 million after the last two ticket holders today (£1.50) were both on the favourite Dance For Julie which came nowhere in the final leg (sixth race).
It's not that long ago that Steve Whiteley, the heating engineer from Devon won £1.5 million on the Exeter jackpot. He travelled to the course by bus with his free bus pass and his entry to the course was free with a voucher. All great for the big Tote PR machine except.....in his first ever interview immediately after he won on course he sounded a little miffed that he had needed to travel on the bus as he'd planned to get a lift with his bookie friend in his car but there was no room. That interview wasn't repeated...........Fair play to him though - it's not easy to pick 6 consecutive winners (understatement of the year?) and he even went back to finish the heating job he was half way through before winning.
My attempt at becoming a millionaire will be riding on:
(as will most people playing this, I've put the same choices in a placepot as well!)
Al Zarooni is on fire just at the moment with three winners on Wednesday (from 6 runners) and I find it hard to believe that any of his runners are deemed second fiddle to Bin Suroors right now even with Ahmed Atjebi riding!! There is (was?) some value to be found looking for two Godolphin runners in a race and backing the Al Zarooni one if it's the outside at an each way price!
No chicken dinners today - 2 loss

I couldn't decide whether to include a nice landscape photo of Mount Hollow (19:00) in Australia
Or a picture of Lara Croft (18:30)!
What do you think chaps?........
