At last Sunday evening, peace and quiet. Time to check on my Previews, this week I wrote four of them. China, Newmarket, Spain and Sweden.
SO, I call up my notes and type in the relevant numbers in Coker\u2019s viewer and off we go to the races\u2026<\/p>\n
First up China\u2026 and there off\u2026
I looked and looked away and I looked again still the same picture, the favourite I wrote up as THE favourite was going backwards and quite quickly too\u2026hmm not good. I was getting this sinking feeling I jinxed the horse, I know, i know it\u2019s only a chip with bits on, but still \u2026you all know what I mean.
Well any way race number 2 Spain.
They\u2019re under starter\u2019s orders and there off\u2026 same picture here, my highly toted favourite was going backwards too.
\u201cOk \u201c I start mumbling to my self,\u201d it\u2019s a long race\u2026 let that one in front tyre herself out ,,she will keep up\u2026\u201d
It was getting a bit boring just seeing that horse alone on the screen. 2furlongs, 4 furlongs \u2026same lonely horse galloping on and on and on and on\u2026(you get the picture.) anyway slowly but sure my favourite was making up ground. Good maybe she \u2018ll wing it.
Checking my notes, my tips are 1-4-3-2. Looking good. In a nutshell they came home 1-4-3-2.And I put no money on the race. Oh well win some lose some.
Next port of call is Newmarket. The same procedure as last time.
This time though my favourite wire to wire it was just wonderfull. Moreover, before you ask no I didn\u2019t put money on that one either.
Three down one to go. Off to Sweden. I won\u2019t bore you with the details; my favourite won and I still didn\u2019t put a bet on.
Now you are wondering why I am telling you all this. Well I had a 37\/1 long shot in one of my stables. Which According to Yoss\u2019s tip sheet, was going to win.
Therefore, I pondered what to do with my knowledge.
Yes you guessed it \u2026I maxed out all my betting accounts to bet on my longshot, only fleetingly thinking about, if I was right with my write ups, even if its just one of them, maybe I could make some \u201cmoney\u201d.
No I believe in my long shot.
She didn\u2019t even get a look in. hmmpf\u2026
Leading quite a bit of the way, she suddenly stopped and watched the field go by\u2026 10th out of 14.<\/p>\n
Now you\u2019re thinking so what, well the morale in this little collection of letters and words is\u2026. Next time I will not bet all my money on a longshot, not if I have a dead cert on hand.<\/p>\n
