This week would be more attractive from a betting angle if I had a half decent record for Galway or Goodwood. This last sentence was written before I picked the first two winners at Goodwood on Tuesday (Landaman and Noble Mission) but I'm still waiting for a Galway winner!
A punter could do a lot worse than blindly
back all of the Dermot Weld runners at Galway and then all of the Mark Johnston runners at Goodwood (if the stable hits the form that it's been threatening over the past few days).
Galway has had a constant downpour over the course of Tuesday afternoon and the word 'good' has already disappeared from the going description with the word 'yielding' unlikely to feature either by the end of the evening! One benefit there (or anywhere in Ireland) would seem to be the booking of a fierce, growly jockey with very pointy elbows, knees and toes. Irish racing can be rough but hugely entertaining!
Here is a little Galway funny.......
Now a certain monster has frightened off all of the other runners in the Sussex tomorrow (Wednesday) and there remains just a field of four. The give in the ground will be a plus for Farhh and could mean that Frankie will be able to leave his binoculars behind and still be able to see Frankel's rear end in the final furlong but the 1/20 about Frankel is moving towards the sort of price where an ISA will soon be in contention for a better return on your money! In a race where even the fourth placed horse will receive prize money of £16,964.40, it won't be too painful for the others to follow Frankel home.
PS: Sir Henry isn't well at the moment and it's likely that he'll be watching the race from home.
There are lots of great competitions around for Goodwood - here's a nice and easy one to enter which may bag you a free £50 bet with Bet365 for not doing very much at all in 3 different ways !
