…could do with a few at the monment! Moolarman posted some interesting observations about picking long priced winners:

“Here are a few distance switches you should look for. Give extra consideration for horses changing distances from:
1.) 6 – 6.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile or 1 Mile 1/16th race
2.) 1 Mile race 1 Mile 1/16th race to a 6 – 6.5 furlong race
3.) 5 – 5.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile race (this is very powerful!)
4.) 1 Mile race to a 5 – 5.5 furlong race
5.) 2 – 6 furlong races to a Route Grass Race
6.) For Maidens: 2 – 6 or 6.5 furlong races to a 1 mile 1/16 or 1 mile 1/8 race
(super powerful if combined with a drop in class!)
7.) 7 furlongs to 1 mile 1/16
8.) 1 mile 1/16 to 7 furlongs
Well there you have some super-potent trainer distance changes that can produce very big-priced horse racing longshots.”

Despite the weather forcing the abandonment of both jumps race meetings I managed to find a tasty 12/1 winning long shot – Million Percent 1.50 Ling

In my email about the Top rated shorties: Back or lay?.Si Foo 4.05 Lingfield I wrote that “I will be leaving Si Foo alone” which turned out well as it lost at a very short price

Finally, 5 minutes to catch up with my raicing tips blog…only five racing days into this month and already showing 44.11 points profit at advised stakes. The extra email shorties are going well – yesterday both won…the email tip alert advised 4 points on each..

05/02/07 Hexham Bedlam Boy Win 4
05/02/07 Wolverhampton Canadian Danehill Win 4

Johnston did me proud putting in my nap, News of The Day at 9/4 for 22 points profit.

Strange days racing today as both jumps cards have been abandoned so all my tips will be on the all weather racing at Southwell. I quite fancy Barron to put in a 1 -2 – fingers crossed!
