Saturday’s Selections & Results – 01 October

I am intending on early Sunday morningness to absorb today's results at Longchamp, attempt to arrive at an accurate going description (any where between good to firm and soft depending on who you listen to), update my draw bias and work out some winner!

PS:  There's some value place odds up for the Arc right now on Betfair......

White Rabbits!!  The start of a lucky new month. 

It was certainly a lucky end to the month yesterday for me when I covered all the low drawn horses that I thought had half a chance in the last race, 5 in total, at Dundalk (1m 4f low drawn winners = 72.73% for future reference!) on and the longest price of all these ridden by Joseph O’Brien won at 49/1 (Betfair).  Celebrations are however NOT the reason the blog is late today – that’s just boring home stuff getting in the way.   

In honour of all things French and ‘Longchamp-like’ I have added a video song by French Chanteuse Patricia Kaas which is just the sort of music you want to be listening to in a French bar on a hot October weekend.  This way, those of us not lucky enough to be in Paris this Arc weekend can pretend:

Today’s ‘dirty dozen’ system selections are:

Redcar

14:50  Jo’Burg 2nd

15:25  Colonial UP

Ascot

15:50  Smarty Socks 2nd 

16:25  Astrophysical Jet  UP

17:00  Dubai Queen UP

Newmarket

17:20  Blanche Dubawi  1st   

Wolverhampton

18:20  Courtland King UP

18:50  Benandonner UP

19:20  Everymanforhimself UP (a Ryan family project this one!)

19:50  Bloodsweatandtears UP (note that Fallon is 3/6 when riding for William Knight who in turn has a 30% strike rate here)

                        20:20  Carcinetto WD

                        20:50  One Of Twins 2nd

Not the best start to the month with a loss of -7.2 and I think perhaps Mr Fallon was knackered by the end of today!!  Onwards and upwards....


I make no apologies for so many Fallon/Wolves selections as they all fit the system criteria.  He has a great book of rides at Wolves tonight where he does well - most with trainers who do also do extremely well there.  Expect a 'push' today for the champions title - make or break time with a total of 12 rides today......


With that I am away to plot the downfall of les fabricants des libres........au revoir x
