I feel we got a bit unlucky yesterday. Almost every horse i backed came 2nd by either a nose or a head, what looked so promising turned into an horrendous day of punting, but we all have one of them every now and then don’t we? Today is a new day, and although the racing is incredibly competitive, i think i’ve narrowed down two really good bets on the card today.
Big Time Billy 11/4 Bet365 4:40 York
It’s so hard to look anywhere else in the 4:40 at York. Big Time Billy is a prolific hurdler who’s going for 7 wins in a row. He’s going up the weights at a rapid rate but still keeps defying the handicapper. Newcastle was the venue for his last 5 length demolition job over 2 miles on good. Conditions are almost perfect today and although he’s never won at York, his current form suggests he’ll put up a massive effort today and 11/4 could look big come 4:40pm today.
Montaser 11/4 Bet365 2:20 York
This horse has won 4 times between 1mile and 2miles on the flat and looks to of been plotted for this. Originally all signs were that Montaser would have a stab at the Ebor, but that wasn’t the case it seems. He’s a course and distance winner and all the signs are he’s back to his very best, with his cosy 1 length victory over C&D last time. Montaser handles the quick conditions with some ease and will relish the conditions today for David Simcock. One of the main dangers to me is Songcraft, the godolphin horse is one of my softspot horses that i have alot of time for. I’ve followed his career and made quite a bit of money by doing so, so he’d rate as the chief danger to Montaser for me, i may have to cover my bet with him.
