* ANTE POST PORTFOLIO
Very soon the whole focus on Ante Post Betting changes. February-April is a fantastic time for Ante Post gamblers. Its Spring time, a time for
optimism , we will have felt like we have just left a crappy wet winter behind us and the betting for the Cheltenham Festival, the Lincoln and the
Classics are always fascinating and full of future promise. I Hate betting. I Hate Tipping but one of the few pleasures I get in this Billious game is
springtime and Ante Post lists. As its the right time of year I am going to dedicate a lot of column inches towards Ante Post betting. When I want
to play as an Account Bet I will, you have to be quite carefull that horses will run in the said races but Over the course of the next couple of
months I want to look at a number of Ante Post horses and give some thoughts. The Full Analysis of each race, and the Detailed Stats of these
races can wait . There is no prizes given for being the first to bet and it is too early. However a few observations I have about certain races wont
put you far wrong if you are attempting to build a solid ante post portfolio going into Cheltenham and beyond.
The 2 horses today I have spotted as interesting are a Negative and a Positive. I Think that in the Triumph Hurdle , (March 18th) the
favouriteAKILAK at 8/1 is a horse you should consder laying. I also think that in the Lincoln (April 2nd) ROYAL GUARD is a positive.
AKILAK is 8/1 favourite for the Triumph and I dont like him at all. You can lay 10.5 on Betfair and I think thats a great lay with almost 7 weeks
to go to the festival. One of the main reasons why I dislike him is that he has just won at Cheltenham in the Wragg&co Finesse hurdle. There is a
strong argument to think that he is not going to win the Triumph. Horses that run in the Finesse hurdle have a very poor record at Cheltenham. In
fact no horse has ever done the Finesse Hurdle -Triumph hurdle double. It is a Graveyard trial . I Also dont like the fact that AKILAK has only
had 1 race over jumps. If he goes to Cheltenham with just 1 start he will be asked to do the impossible. Inexperience must count against him.
There have been 34 horses that have tried this since 1991 and none have managed to defy experience and win. Even if they give him another race
which is entirely possible then that increases his chances of injury, or dissapointing or them discovering that he isnt good . Compound that with the
fact he has to get there in a healthy state and if he does he will face up to 30 runners in the race, I think 10.5 is a very solid lay if you dont mind
tying money up for a few weeks. He wont win the race for me on any known evidence.
ROYAL GUARD is 12/1 favourite for the Lincoln and that may well be worth taking. Admittedly the Draw has a lot to do with the Lincoln but
you should be able to get out well before the draw with a free bet. ROYAL GUARD is trained by John Hammond in France and has been
backed from 20/1 to 12/1 already. Those factors suggest he will run. Statistically you need a Male horse thats rated under 100 (He is rated 93)
and rated over 80 . Your horse has to have been placed last time out (He won last time) and he needs to be aged 6 or less. ROYAL GUARD fits
all those criteria and he is likely to be in the perfect weight range if he lines up. It is hugely significant that John Hammond even brings him to
Doncaster. Hammond has a brilliant record with his French raiders . His record is second to none and a big profit is recorded by his runners.
Horses like Crystal Castle and Ratio in the Wokingham are just recent example. ROYAL GUARD is a lightly raced horse that could be anything.
Lightly raced horses are fine in the race and Hammond would not bring him here unless he felt he had a well handicapped classy horse capable of
winning a Lincoln. I would Think that 12/1 represents a very big price for a horse that will have few if any statistical flaws on the day. I have had
£50 on ROYAL GUARD just in case his price collapses. I did think of having £500 on him with a view to laying him back but I felt that was a bit
risky as he hasnt been officially confirmed as a runner yet and I could lose that way. On the day I'll be delighted with £50 at 12/1.

Todays Racing
Suggested bets for anyone wanting to play
Manorson - Taunton 1.10 - Small win bet
Blue Business - Taunton 3.10 + Cordial - Lingfield 2.30 - Each Way Double
Wimbledonian - Taunton 4.10 - Each Way 12/1 Corals
Il Pranzo - Lingfield 4.10 - Small win bet
If You recall before the House Move I started SCORING Statistics using a scoring system . The Current record of these horses showed
a Level Stakes Profit of £8.38 . These Statistical Scores are popular within the membership so I will continue them, but I must stress that they are
not account bets, merely a short trial to see if they are succesful . These are below at the foot of the message. The statistics reccomend 2 bets
today on Manorson (1.40) and Blue Business (3.10) at Taunton. Please dont confuse these with Account Bets.
Not an easy day today . Starting at TAUNTON first in the opener. MANORSON is statistically bombproof as you will see from the statistical
scores later in the message. He is a Male horse. Lambourn trained. The right age , the right Class profile and Pilot. He is perfectly exposed with
just 2 races and his weight identifies him as the Class runner. Yes he is short but he has no statistical flaws. You would have to prefer him over
WAVETREE BOY who classy as he was on the flat, has never jumped a hurdle in public and who has to face a 492 days absence. WAVETREE
BOY may also need further than this 2m 1f and although He was rated 100 on the flat this may find him out . He does however look a more likely
winner than the other debutant THE PLAYER who was rated 28lbs his inferior. There has been good money for THE PLAYER (10/1-13/2) but
that may have much to do with A P McCoy riding. Be aware that his sire is 0-17 with his jumpers so far and none of his offspring have yet won.
With the fact MANORSON was a better Flat horse , It has to be MANORSON but I dont advise bets at his likely price and I cant see anything
I would want to bet against him each way.
*********
I Think Division 2 of the Novice Hurdle (2.10 Taunton) may be left to NOBLE REQUEST at 5/2 . This is clearly a 5 runner race according to the
betting. The favourite PERFECT STORM is unraced and Statistics tell me that you are FAR Better off having a horse like NOBLE REQUEST
Who has ran 5 times before than you are an unraced horse. If you look at all Taunton Novice Hurdles between January and April you will see a
far better strike rate for experienced horses. At distances of 2m 4f or less unraced horses are only 8 from 112 (and 7 of those 8 winners were
younger horses that Perfect Storm) . Horses that had ran 5-6 times are easily superior and have won 11 races from 71 runners , thats 3 more
winners from 41 fewer runners. Of course PERFECT STORM may be better and may win today, but statistically you have to side with the more
experienced horse in NOBLE REQUEST and you have other factors in your favour as well. He has been very well backed overnight . Despite a
gruelling race last time at Towcester when he finished tired I would think that if he has recovered from that he could place his experience to good
use. Opposing PERFECT STORM because he is unraced suggests we should also steer clear of the other fancied unraced horse ILE FACILE .
I have this between NOBLE REQUEST and possibly WISCALITUS who at 6/1 may well be a sensible Saver.
*********
The other statistical pick is BLUE BUSINESS in the 3.10 Taunton. I Am not so sure about him. The Statistics place him clear ahead of the field
because mainly thats down to the overrating of Bumper winners like ROARINGWATER who usually get beaten when meeting decent hurdlers.
This year it may be diffferent as BLUE BUSINESS has a serious rival in ROARINGWATER who won a Bumper over 17f . That must have
been an inadequate trip for him as he is bred to stay marathon distances as a son of Roselier out of a daughter of Buckskin, and having won a 3m
point to point before.
With the National Hunt at the moment by strateg is simple. If the statistics show me a CAST IRON reason why I have to bet a horse then I will. If
they dont then I wont be drawn into assumptions and guesswork and I am happy to leave the code alone. With todays Stats , I feel that the best
options would be to have a small win bet on MANORSON , and to play BLUE BUSINESS in an each way double. Although the stats suggest a
win bet , BLUE BUSINESS could drift in the market in the wake of support for ROARINGWATER and I feel 11/4 is possible. Thats not a bad
each way double option. The race is very uncompetetive and its very hard to see BLUE BUSINES being unplaced.
*********
Looking at the right horse to place BLUE BUSINESS with in an each way double I think CORDIAL at Lingfield is the horse.
Lingfield 12.30 - Betting Forecast: 9/4 Cordial, 3/1 The Violin Player, 7/1 Garden Society, 8/1 Dovedon Hero, Mad Carew, Salute, 14/1 Tight
Squeeze, 16/1 Classic Croco, 25/1 Amir Zaman, Malibu, 33/1 Orthodox, 50/1 Spring Surprise.
We bet CORDIAL last time courtesy of David and he won well. David was saying he was a 12f horse that was potentially capable of running up a
sequence. Last time he got away with it over 10f and showed guts and determination. Some may say that Cordial isnt certain to stay 12f , as he
was beaten easily at Evens at southwell , and was again a beaten favourite at Salisbury on his only 2 attempts at the distance. That was some time
ago and he is a better stronger horse now and is ridden differently. I think he will stay easily and although David hasnt given me any news about the
horse at all , I feel it would be a mistake to desert this horse as I can see him improving several lbs now he has won and moves up in trip. I Think
that at around 5/2 he makes perfect sense in an each way double with BLUE BUSINESS. Both should easily place. Both can easily win as well.
*********
I Think the 4.10 at Taunton is interesting. There have only been 9 renewals of this race but the Following statistics is very eye catching.
Betting Forecast: 9/2 Cimmaroon, 6/1 The Flyer, 13/2 Lowe Go, 7/1 Wild Chimes, 8/1 Delaware Bay, Teorban, 10/1 Twisted Logic, 12/1
Wimbledonian, 14/1 Emphatic, Roman Court, Stock Dove, 16/1 Javelin, 25/1 Big Max, Turaath, 33/1 Field Master, Graffiti Tongue,
* Horses that had 9 or more starts surprisingly struggled (1-64)
When you consider this is always a big field handicap run over a Marathon distance you may well have thought that experienced horses had the
edge but they dont. For only 1 of the "experienced" horses (Those with 9 or more starts over Hurdles) to win this from 64 that tried is quite a
Damming statistic. From these 64 horses , there were 26 of them that started under 10/1 in this race. In fact 29 of the 64 losing horses started in
the first 4 in the betting that year. That is quite strong. It suggests to me that you want a lightly raced horse that can now show improvement at the
trip and who improves past non-progressive types that have had their ability accurately assesed.
When you look at the statistics of this race a little more deeply and study that1 from 64 statistic , it shows that the only winner was in 1999 . That
horse had only had 11 Hurdle races anyway so was hardly "experienced" . In the year that he defied that stat the vast majority of the field had also
racked up multiple runs so it may have been a statistical blip anyway. This leads me to believe that you MUST Side with lightly raced horses that
have had fewer than 9 career starts over hurdles.
If we look at the very "exposed runners we can identify 7 horses that look "too exposed" for this test.
Twisted Logic 10/1 - 50 races
Emphatic 14/1 - 34 races
The Flyer 12/1 - 29 races
Javelin 201 - 23 races
Lowe Go 8/1 - 15 races
Teorban 14/1 - 15 races
Delaware Bay 7/1 - 12 races
The Ideal number of races are clearly between 5 and 8 and the race has been dominated by 6 and 7 year olds. We find just 3 horses that can be
said to be the right age and to have had the right preperation/exposure for this test
WIMBLEDONIAN - 12/1 has had 5 races
WILD CHIMES - 12/1 has had 5 races
STOCK DOVE - 25/1 has had 7 races
CIMMAROON - 13/2 has had 3 races
I Think you can argue that all 4 should be serioulsy considered. I Couldnt be confident about stating which had the best chance. Thats the problem
with 16 runner Handicaps but the point I am making is that you should serioulsy consider looking at these less exposed runners as its very hard to
justify why only 1 experienced horse could win this from 64 . The result should be fascinating. All in all having had a look at all 4 runners I have
come down on the side of WIMBLEDONIAN at 12/1 with Corals. I like him more than the other 3 but none of the 4 winning would surprise me.
*********
ALL WEATHER
I Have already dealt with CORDIAL (2.30) which I see as a small e/w double option. The rest of the Sand looks
detestable. I looked at the cards and I havent felt this sick since betting Gareth Gates at odds on to win X Factor.
I Have no interest at all in the sand cards.
I have said on the Message Board that things at David Loders are so unclear at the moment. I think the issues about Loder losing the Godolphin
juveniles, the fact that Loder is about as Popular in Newmarket as a Pork Chop at a Al Queda wedding , and the fact that Godolphin are
recruiting all the best Newmarket staff , often from Loders as they have about 500 horses in training , has put Loder under serious pressure. I
think David is incorporating a policy that comprises of "screw everyone I am looking after the people that matter". I think he is taking care of his
best staff and ensuring they get all the best information and I think he is taking care of his owners. I feel Loder is starting a deliberate policy of Miss
Information . When you want to spread a rumour thats wrong you tell the Village Gossip . People like David Milnes are the first point of call. If
Loder wants to spread the word . If he wants to put people away and mislead them he tells the Newmarket man with contacts to please and
newspaper column inches to write. He is having huge drifters win easily and having short priced horses beaten. The point of this is the big gamble
on LAUREN LOUISE (16/1 - 6/1) in the Lingfield 1pm race. You could not possibly fancy her on anything she has done before when trained by
Nigel Tinkler but the cash is down and this is a serious upgrade in stable quality. The problem here may very well be that even if you are convinced
the money is "hot" and you want to follow it in, you may very well find that the owners , angry and despondant that someone has spolit their price
for the sake of £100 on Betfair the night before , consider "Pulling" the horse and waiting for another day. Loders must be a brilliant place to work
at the moment if your face fits. All I know is that anyone that thinks they know what he is thinking at the moment is a very brave man and I feel
strongly inclined to swerve any races he is involved with at the moment .
