Went the day well? It rained, it blew, Madame took the shears to the barnet, and the racing turned out to be way better than I had expected – indeed the Fred Archer turned out to be a proper race, where an early tussle possibly left the favourite shy of petrol at the finish and David Simcock took the race in a three-way photo with Universal Order. 6 wins from 8 races and an overall profit of 15.67. We’ve got a bit to do this week to catch up with our exotic lunge on the Trifecta in the big handicap, but I have a cunning plan! First the results.

- 4:45 CURRAGH MAGICAL Won 2/5 +0.8
Over at Windsor, Ed Walker runs a brace of handicappers, which might qualify for one of the simplest systems I have. Essentially, you back any Ed Walker handicapper at Windsor that goes off at 6/1 or less. His first runner is GLORIOUS CAESAR who is currently 8/1 and therefore doesn’t qualify… yet. Keep an eye on the market. In the lucky last, he runs CARADOC who is currently 4/1. Does this system work? Well since 2012, he has had 72 qualifiers and 28 winners, for a 38%+ strike rate and an ROI of 64.39%. It is a very reliable guide. The fact that he had a qualifier in Pogo’s race today simply underlines the fact that no system is 100%.
START TIME runs at Thirsk in the 8:00 for Paul Midgely and he’s a horse that is on my watch list. He is obviously fancied and some bookies have already cut him from 8s to 13/2. Back him e/w quickly. Finally my man at the seaside. tells me that ZAP is ready to strike in the 2:30 at Yarmouth. Of course, he might have meant strike as in a withdrawal of labour…
