31/7/2013

Evening sportsfans!! the lay landed on dawn approach gave me a profitable day but no joy with the back selections im afraid & glorious goodwood is proving a tad difficult at the minute but hopefully a new month can see the end of the mini slump of the last few days however we do finish the month on a profit of 68pts to our advised bets.

2pts e/w ALTANO 3.15 goodwood (nap) 7/1 skybet

last years german st leger winner brings G1 form to the table & will be far happier on this easier surface than when just over 3l behind estimate in the ascot gold cup. he only has half a length to find with colour vision on there running there & the drop back to two miles looks perfect for him as the 2m4f at ascot may have stretched him a bit i think.

1pt e/w CRUCK REALTA 2.15 goodwood (nb) 25/1

i cant believe the price of this one if i'm honest, she was second to tha'ir as a juvenile at royal ascot & her second behind winsili at newbury in may is by far the best form on offer here in my opinion. she gets a six pound pull with tha'ir on there ascot run & she won't mind the underfoot conditions either.

0.5pt e/w double

for those that are that way inclined i will also be having a short price double on..

FIGURE OF SPEECH 2.45 6/4

ELIK 3.45 5/2

1pt win double

the double pays around 8/1 ish & i cant really see either horse beaten tomorrow & i may also be going in heavy on a single bet on ELIK as with the 3yo weight allowance she looks excetionally well treated by the race conditions & the step up in trip will bring about nothing but improvement.

now onto the midweek update of the stealing a living league & the boy rishi persad has gate crashed the party at the top of the table after today ending up doing an impression of tom cruise in cocktail on channel 4 racing but sundays leader charlie appleby fought right to the death to cling on to top spot when he clearly gave a pre-scripted interview on C4 when it was obvious he wasn't allowed to mention the still unsighted mahmood al zarooni. the mr magoo of newmarket did however saddle a group winner in the shape of cap o' rushes so he was just pipped on the line by persad.

full update..

10. emma spencer (C4 racing pundit)
re-enters the top 10 after being part of the persad cocktail fiasco.

9. jason weaver (resident ATR tipster)
i just don't like the bloke if i'm honest...

8. derek thompson (all round idiot & general baffoon)
maintains his place following his confusion in advising that a filly have the snip to connections.

7. simon mapletoft (slicker than the average racing uk presenter)
slick simon drops two places following some semi decent efforts recently.

6. angus gold (sheikh hamdans racing manager)
more inept placing from the shadwell team sees angus climb a place from sunday.

5. MAZ (who knows)
who cares??

4. hope powell (womens national football coach)
former number one whos still in there clinging onto past glories & a fat salary thanks to a ridiculously long contract handed to her by the FA.

3. simon crisford (we're still yet to find out his job title)
starting to run out of expletives for the man behind the godolphin mess..

2. charlie appleby (MAZ's former assistant...hmmmm...)
newmarkets mr magoo looked like a puppet on a string in todays interview & only a group winner has kept him off top spot.

1. rishi persad (complete toss pot)
our old friend persad comes straight back in at the top following the cocktail fiasco at goodwood today..allied with the fact on saturday he told us he'd spoken to trainer dean ivory..yet failed to reveal what he said then watched tropics win! and for those reasons young rishi.. you are quite literally.. stealing a living my friend!

many thanks for following, the next #stealingaliving update will be on sunday evening so if you have any nominiations please tweet me with the hashtag #stealingaliving.

regards
ian
