30th January

Poor performance from Ragner (BBOTD) - Dislike Spencer so much and still think he isn't a very good jockey when having to think about the race and the tactics of the race. Forged 2l clear in the homestraight and was a sitting duck as the horse idled. Poor. Win double scored nicely enough though! Ratings themselves held up quite well too and I think the Dutching / level stake on both selections works. It worked well yesterday. Some nice priced winners overall.

CHELTENHAM goes ahead following an inspection! Well done Simon, the right call in my book, but caution advised as the going is going to be tough and many trainers will consider "protecting" their horses with The Festival around the corner.

TODAY:

Cheltenham call a 10am inspection. Its now heavy, waterlogged in places. A right slog and I don't fancy the horses up the hill at the end in this weather! They will want it to go ahead as its a trial but wont want to risk messing up the ground with the Festival only 6 weeks or so away! I wouldn't want to be the Clerk this morning! Good luck Simon!

I think the BBOTD was the only plus point, winning nicely at odds of 13/8! Other than that, it was a day to forget. Some very strange results in truth, but thats the way it goes sometimes. Im not sure sitting at home in bed watching the racing is good for me. So many bad rides costing us a place or even a win. I thought Danny Cook looks a jockey to follow. Very canny and astute and gets his horses in positions to win races even if they get beaten. A few of his peers could take a leaf out his book - Richard Johnson being one of them. Not sure if its arrogance or what, but he often sits on a horse far too long and predictably the horse finds litte for pressure and he stops riding it. He never seems to try to re-galvanise the horse like AP used to. Anyway, I'll get off my soap box....

We had a BBOTD winner, a Winning Double and the EW thief had 2 very good winners, one, Paddys field hacking up at 5/1sp. All in all an ok day for the Ratings given what we had to work with.

Today is Saturday, and some big races and big fields, as is always the suggestion, you must consider Dutching or playing BOTH selections to level stakes if odds allow to ensure the best chance of securing a profit. It only takes a paddys field (2nd rated) at 5/1 to give you your daily profit and once made STOP!

11th January

Firstly, a music hero of mine, David Bowie died late last night of cancer aged 69. RIP David. Cue, endless hours listening to back catalogues! His Music will live on!

Right, back to the action....if you can call 2 AW meetings, action! Ayr called off today. So we again only have flat action in the middle of the jumps season. A non betting day for me today. But herewith are todays selections. Dutch/level stake both is advisable and stop at profit target.

9th January

Chepstow has been given the green light despite more rain falling overnight and to say its going to be testing is an understatement. I hope the horses are ok. Form and obviously speed ratings can and usually go out the window in such attritional conditions and its going to be soft/heavy at Kempton too. The upshot is a warning to keep stakes to a minimum and where you do bet, to seriously consider Dutching the two selections or playing them at level stakes if odds allow.

7th January

Only a so so day for us yesterday but if backing the selections by dutching/level stakes, most members should have made their daily target. Todays racing as with tomorrows looks weather led. Towcester is still on but with all the rain that fell overnight and this morning I have reservations. With one of the meetings at Chelmsford (im still working on this track!) it is not a day for betting. I am slimming down the service today to reflect that. So just the ratings today, no BBOTD etc as i cant trust the rated figures to follow through in such conditions.

Please tread carefully today.

4th January

Monday rolls around and for many its back to work! (urgh!). Only 3 meetings and not the best of race meetings to be honest. Heavy at Musselburgh and Ludlow and a minefield of an AW meeting with many re-opposing as is their whim at these kind of meetings. Here are todays runners and riders and remember, stop at the daily profit target and consider Dutching/betting both at level stakes if odds allow! £20 a day nets you £7200 pa tax free! Worth thinking about this as a strategy!

2nd January

Reasonable day for the Ratings yesterday and well done Neil on your big win! As Dave says, the forum is there for ALL members to use and swap strategies/tips/selections/congratulate/bemoan etc so please use it. We have a good strong membership of core members and it would be great if a few more came out of the woodwork and posted their selections or ideas. Maybe I should organise a Ratings Race Day out sometime in mid summer? I could get tickets at Newmarket for example without problem.

On to todays action. The two jumps cards are riding heavy to bottomless and the two AW cards, one being Chelmsford, aren't of any great shakes - great prize money at Chelmsford, but that surface?!?!? I would say on balance, a day to swerve!!

Remember on such a tricky day, to consider Dutching or betting both to level stakes if odds allow!! IT could pay dividends and remember to STOP at your daily profit target.
