Poor Man's Quaddie = Much Profit
The tips were only fair last week at Moonee Valley, with just the one winner on top from eight races - but it was the longest priced winner of the day in the second race. There were a few other obvious winners lurking around the selections and the odd
mediocre box trifecta, but nothing particularly news worthy about the tips.
Race 2 : 9-WHISPER DOWNS 1st W=$10.60
Race 4 : 7-IRISH DREAM 1st W=$4.30, Quin = $8.90, Tri = $115.30
Race 8 : 9-KING’S ROSE 1st W=$2.60, Tri = $38.40
However, we scored a bit of a decent collect in the Betting Portfolio when the $5 Turf Deli Wonder Bet came home for a tidy $146.50 return on the Victorian TAB. The collect was even more for those wise enough to use the
corporate bookmakers and get the better odds.
To say we were lucky is an understatement - it was an All Up Place Bet on four horses (where the collect from one horse goes onto the next runner) and they all finished 3rd. Not just any 3rds either - but well beaten, fading on the line, hanging on by the hair of your nostrils thirds.
As pointed out by one of our facebook fans - this was indeed the Poor Man's Quaddie.
Still a collect is a collect, and judging from the high praise on
facebook
and the congratulatory emails we got during the week quite a few were on board too. We always love to hear when you have had a win with the tips, so feel free to say Hello.
TURF DELI WONDER BET :
Here we try and turn $5 into a whole lot more with a silly multiple bet.
ALL UP PLACE :
PLACE : Race 3: 10-BUZZWIN 3rd P=$2.10
PLACE : Race 4: 9-BEL SHOES 3rd P=$2.50
PLACE : Race 8: 1-LADY LYNETTE 3rd P=$1.80
PLACE : Race 9: 4-STANZOUT 3rd P=$3.10
x $5 = $5 = $146.50
We finally scored a short priced scalp with Lay of the Day Race 2 : 1-DO YOU THINK starting favourite and flopping. He is no relation to SO YOU THINK by the way, and would be more aptly named "MUMMA IS A CHICKEN".
However, we do have to acknowledge that even though the Lay of the Day didn't sting us, the One To Risk in the main race 9-REKINDLED ALLIANCE had his birthday, with everything going his way and got up and won. Happy Birthday 9-REKINDLED ALLIANCE !. So we still
have to rather embarrassingly report that from 5 weeks so far this spring - the Lay Of The Day has won 3 times, and in the two weeks it has not - the One To Risk in the main race has got up. Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
The Betting Portfolio has been chugging along nicely the last couple of weeks and we are now comfortably in the black
Betting Portfolio : 5 weeks, 3 profits, 2 returns, 0 wipe outs - Net : +$153.55
