I know there are a few guys on here who like to give a few tips and thoughts when there is a race weekend coming up.

 

I'm heading off to The Galway Races on Wednesday and Thursday with a few friends and I'm just wondering if you guys can give me a few tips for those two days (when the race cards are confirmed)?

 

I would hugely appreciate it.

[Woo]

Pick the horse that wins the races.

 

You're welcome, pal.

[Carradona]

Hmmmm.

 

I'm hoping for Aidan O' Brien/Ruby Walsh winners as I will be backing them.

[paddyberger15]

I don't think you'll be getting many Aidan O'Brien/Ruby Walsh winners to be honest Cain!

[Carradona]

I read this morning about some other trainer who had 10 winners last year, so I might back him instead.

 

Why do you say that about O' Brien/Walsh?

[paddyberger15]

You might get a few Aidan O'Brien/Johnny Murtagh winners or alternatively you might get a few Willie Mullins/Ruby Walsh winners, it's all dependent upon whether its a flat or a jumps meeting you're going to.

[Carradona]

And now you understand just how little I know about the world of horse racing!

 

I'm sure that the Galway Races is both jumps and flat racing.

 

Where is bobhorse the only time I have needed him?!?!

go on the sporting life website the night before, go to racing on the left hand side, race cards, select Galway, click on each race and have a look at what they select, there's usually a paragraph below the list of horses and they pick the one they consider to be the favourite.

 

There are a lot of things to look for when choosing a horse, i usually look for course and distance winners and recently I've been going for horses that have been coming 2nd or 3rd in previous runs and are wearing blinkers this time out.

 

I do that tipster competition on sporting life because it's free. i love horse racing but I hate losing money. I've seen people pick 66/1 winners on there and I look at the info on the race card and I think how the fuck did you pick that? They either must have a tip, they're geniuses or they are lucky as fuck.

Cain,

You are better off just picking any horse at random as everyone wants to own a winner at Galway. You can even get two sure things in the one race as I did yesterday.

 

By the way bring some warm clothes as I was there yesterday and it was freezing and the rest of the week is not promised much better.

Enjoy your visit.

[Carradona]

Cheers for the advice.

 

Will have a look at that website later.

[paddyberger15]

You should have a grand time Cain, from what I've seen of it, Galway looks a smashing track and there should be some big guns out. Have a look at the Racing Post site on the morning of the races aswell, that should give you another slant on things.

[Carradona]

That's the site I usually use. Cheers.

If Tom Segal (Pricewise) tips something up, then see how the money goes on it.

Just spent the last 20/30 minutes picking out my bets for tomorrow's races. I'm backing quite a few of the horses trained by D Weld as he has had the most winners the past 2 days and had the most winners last year.

 

Looks like there are a few nice Each Way bets tomorrow. Just hope I can win a little bit of money so that I can go out in Galway in Wednesday night and have a good night!

It's always a good night out in Galway!

Dermot Weld has a good record at Galway, you wont go far wrong backing his horses.

What a couple of day I have just had. The experience of having a winner unfold in front of you is class. Especially when it is Ruby pipping AP to the line at the final moment!

 

I will hopefully be going to Aintree next year while I'm over.

Did you see any nice fillies?

[Carradona]

Plenty!

 

Were you there yesterday?

[AL66GOLF]

Plenty!

 

Were you there yesterday?

 

Yes. Long day & night and I'm going again to this evenings meeting.

[Carradona]

Nice one. I had a shite first day and a good second day. Ended up making 150 bucks profit over the two days on the horses mainly because I had some 14/1 shot backed each way in the second last race.

15.50 @Newbury - God Of The Kop

 

You know it makes sense.

[Jairzinho]

11/2 with AP on it.

 

I'll have some of that.

[Welsh]

Having an absolute stinker today, won 1 lost 7, down about £70.

 

Hate betting on my mobile (work blocks gambling/game websites) as I can't really look at what I want properly...that's my excuse anyway.

Useless fucking nag!
