Rockin's Horses!

[Napoleon Solo]

Just started Laying horses over the last week and I really need somewhere to write them down and keep an eye on my progress. All odds are Betfair, starting bank is £25.91. Unfortunatley, selections will probably be placed just before the off, depending on the odds movement!

1410 Ayr - Lay "Evens and Odds" @ 1.89 for £5.00 liability.

[Napoleon Solo]

Really should have left it for the 1.81 available just before the off, but a loser none-the-less.

New balance: £31.25
Profit: +5.34
Layed: 1/1
Backed: 0/0 (will back horses sometimes, not many though)

Quite tempted by "Blue Monkey" in the 1420 Yarmouth, but not gonna back it on this occasion.

[Napoleon Solo]

I didn't back "Blue Monkey" but I will be backing "Ripples Maid" in the 1535 at Nottingham. 3/3 since it's introduction and should be up there again today.

Back Ripples Maid @ 2.58 for £2.00

That's why I don't back horses much!

New balance: £29.25
Profit: +3.34
Layed: 1/1
Backed: 0/1

[Napoleon Solo]

Lay Cashel Mead in the 1645 Sandown at 3.00 for £5 liability!

New balance: £24.25
Profit: -1.66
Layed: 1/2
Backed: 0/1

edit: Stupid lay really, followed another tipster who's usually very good!

There's a couple more tonight which I quite fancy, will have a look at them soon!

Good luck Rockin.

Not a horse racing fan myself but if you go on to be sucessful with this then i might just have to get involved.

[Napoleon Solo]

Thanks Kiko, been paper-trailing for a few weeks and been doing quite well on the Lay. Think i'll stop backing horses though as I'm usually pretty rubbish at it!

[Napoleon Solo]

1955 Sandown - Lay "Mashaahed" @ 1.63 for £5.00 liability!

New balance: £19.25
Profit: -6.66
Layed: 1/3
Backed: 0/1

What a rubbish day to start off with! Honestly, I've been doing better than this recently. Must try harder!

[Napoleon Solo]

1545 Wolves - Lay "Warsaw Pact" @ 1.80 for £5.00 liability.

Really don't fancy it here, it's running 7lb heavier than it's last race and I reckon it could struggle carrying the extra weight!

[Napoleon Solo]

1545 Wolves - Lay "Warsaw Pact" @ 1.80 for £5.00 liability.

New balance: £25.19
Profit: -0.72
Layed: 2/4
Backed: 0/1

[Napoleon Solo]

1900 Down Royal - Lay "Snaefell" @ 1.94 for £4.94 liability.

New balance: £20.25
Profit: -5.66
Layed: 2/6
Backed: 0/1



1925 Towcester - Lay "Keswick" @ 2.3 for £5.oo liability.

It's run this distance, going and weight before finishing a poor 7/18. Velvet Dove is on for it's third straight victory and should have the beating of Keswick (hopefully).
