Hello Dodgemeister,
Thanks for reply.
If you want to know the value of inside info go to Newmarket to see how many purveyors of inside information ride bicycles .
I totally rely on the form book and bet to a high level , less than 20 times per year....over 30 years my average success rate is around 50%... some years higher some years lower .
Unfortunately, some of what you write about racing is not true ..I do not bet in the highest or lowest class races , as I specialise in an area where I know I have an advantage..
There are areas you comment on , that are true and I look for progressive horses who have achieved a performance in their last race ...which is a major improvement on anything shown before....like GGP , these horses have to put in the race, with proven partners , experienced in what they are doing ...Only if the price is right do I get involved and then only if the bookies and one in particular is indicating they do not want you to bet with them today.
GGP to me looks like to me like a special bet and have backed it accordingly....my reference on gut feeling is based on AIM is full of cowboys, we all know that but GGP and New do look as though they are top class guys in the Wild West area of the UK market
My fear of losing is not based on gut feeling but on a simple realism , I only need to be right 50% or much less to come out in front.
