History illustrates, conclusively, that betting our time-handicap selections, when ridden by a prolific jockey and trained by an established, experienced, horseman, is the key to success; hopefully this tried and tested formula holds in the Maiden Stakes over twelve furlongs of Lingfield polytrack this afternoon.
To make profit from horse-racing you have to achieve a satisfatory level of consistency; by virtue of computing the TH and sticking with set-weight races, thus avoiding handicaps which are designed to make all runners dead-heat, we have proved beyond reasonable doubt it's possible to profit, in the long term.
Incidentally there are usually about two dead-heats a season, from thousands of races!
In the history of punting it's never been more difficult to pinpoint winners, due to the overwhelming fixture list, and so, as previously mentioned, the daily patent, which represents less bets (less debts!), really is the only way forward if you are hell bent on pursuing an objective of making racing pay as a serious bettor.
It can be done but not by guessing and Royal History certainly isn't a stab in the dark; Saeed bin Suroor's charge looks solid judged on a reliable time-figure and he'll be the mount of William Buick, contracted to owners Godolphin along with James Boyle.
Both are young, enthusiastic, dedicated, and consistent, punters need that, jockeys who can get 'job done!' 'You can't beat the draw' is a well-known maxim but surely with at least a stone in hand once-raced Tajathub and Paul Hanagan will prevail in the 3-y-o Maiden Stakes over seven furlongs of Kempton poly which is riding superbly according to several senior jockeys.
Also at good to soft Ayr the chance of Regal Dan is obvious in the ten-runner aged handicap over seven furlongs; all boxes are ticked but they have been before!
