NAPs of the day.

[Captain Shamrock]

Racing Post is back again......

I feel pretty confident with this NAP.

Pat Eddery is on board and it should go off at around 2.75(7/4). I has been knocking on the door in its last 4 races coming 2nd twice, and third and 4th once.....


2:00 Leceister - Dubai Dreams


Captain

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Dubai Dreams was a loser. However, they didn't have the races available when I went to bed, so I didn't lose anything. Hopefully this was the case for you......I must admit and I feel bad if you bet on it, that this was the only race I looked at or was able to look at. After saying things were fine in the Racing Post, the first race was the only one that had all the appropriate information. So, I am not conisdering a proper NAP selection, unless of course, you actually bet on it.....Hopefully, you didn't. I woke up in time for the last few races of the afternoon meeting and came away with a couple of winners......

18/07/2002 Bet ITI: FULL SPATE 4-30 LEICESTER @ 8/1 W (1/4) 15.00 135.00

How did your golf bet go?......

[Captain Shamrock]

Wrong thread......

NAP - 2:00 Newbury - Desert Lord - a 2 year old race and this is Desert Lord's first race. He is from Sir Michael Stoute's yard and Kieran Fallon is on board. It should have a successful debut and will go off at around 2.50.....

NB - 3:45 Carlisle - I am going with a longer shot here. It will probably go off at about 8/1. Taggerty has a nice draw on the outside and has an apprentice on board which means an extra 7 lbs less than everyone else. He is already the second lowest with the weights and gets this added bonus.... Taggerty for the Captain

Sorry, this should have been here.......

 

[Captain Shamrock]

NAPs were napping.......

No more NAPs, One Dart. Once I lose two or three in a row, I can't feel any confidence. Hopefully, you didn't bet on them....


Sorry....

 

[One Dart]

I did.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes

There is 435, 000 quid on the line for the winner here. I am going to oppose the favorite(Grandera), One Dart. Let's go with

GOLAN with Kieran Fallon on board. It had a great year last year, and should be fresh for the race. He should go off at about 8/1........This is the value bet as the favorite will go off at about 7/4(2.75). This is too short for a race of this caliber.....


Captain

For a straight out winner, go for Russian Rhythm in the 2:35 at Ascot who is coming out of stall 7 in the 6 furlong contest. It should be 2nd favorite at a decent price....

What do you think, One Dart? It seems like a good thing....


Captain

 

[Captain Shamrock]

One Dart.......

I've been on the computer looking for this one since I came home from thrashing you in darts. Sorry, I thought I was talking to the Sidewinder for a second.....

Anyway, here is a guaranteed winner. If it doesn't win, and I see you have made a wager on the horse, I will buy you a pint next week. So, if you wager about $6, you will get your money's worth either way.

3-40 STRATFORD CAPTAIN O'NEILL @ SP Open


The Goodwood races are way too tricky. This seems like a straight forward task and it should go off at around 2.50 .

[the power]

where's the NAP? The Power is in the mood for Willhill? does he have to result to his own drunken expertise?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Ticket To Ride - 2:50 Doncaster......

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Start of the official recording......

Here is my NAP and N(ext)B(est) for the day from a full day of racing. There are no less than 8 meetings to choose from, so I should be able to narrow the 65 races down a bit.....

NAP - Gargoyle Girl 2:20 at Pontefract

NB - True Night 4:10 at Brighton

$20 on each to win on the nose. I will post the odds if they win, if they lose, then the odds are definitely moot .


Captain

 

[Captain Shamrock]

1st 4 GUDLAGE 13.00
2nd 8 GARGOYLE GIRL 4.50
3rd 6 CYBER SANTA 6.50

Forecast 4 beat 8 50.74
Tricast 4 beat 8 and 6 261.00


1st 8 TRUE NIGHT 2.75 FAV
2nd 10 IT'S OUR SECRET 17.00
3rd 12 MOVING EXPERIEN' 9.00

Forecast 8 beat 10 33.48
Tricast 8 beat 10 and 12 198.00


So after the first day, we sit a solid (+$15)........ Gargoyle Girl was just nipped at the wire......

Captain

 

[Captain Shamrock]

A long shot NAP.......

NAP -


3:40 Chepstow - KARAKUM


NB - 4:40 Chepstow - PRETTY CLEAR


$20 on the NAP and $35 on the NB because the odds are not going to be as good.


Good luck, One Dart/The Power! If you win, I will buy you both beers tomorrow night at Association Park.......

Tilly the NAPster

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Back to even..........

Hopefully you didn't follow today, One Dart. I'm sure you didn't...

1st 6 CHAPTER HOUSE 2.75 2F
2nd 10 PRETTY CLEAR 2.20
3rd 8 IF 13.00

Forecast 6 beat 10 3.77



3-40 CHEPSTOW - 14 runners Places Paid 1,2 and 3 @ 1/5 odds
Off at 15:40:31


1st 11 REPLACEMENT PET 11.00
2nd 1 MOSTARSIL 4.00
3rd 12 WINTER DOLPHIN 34.00

Forecast 11 beat 1 37.70


So the NAPs competition is back to even. I am guaranteeing a win tomorrow, One Dart. Two free pints if it doesn't come through......

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Sorry about no NAPs for today but....

One Dart(I know you're watching),

Here are the two picks for tomorrow and they will both be good prices...


(NAP) 2:05 Ascot - Prince Nureyev


(NB) - 2:40 Newmarket - Soviet Song


Take these to the Gulag

 

[One Dart]

Captain,

There is no 2:40 Newmarket, only 2:45 and there is no Soviet Song. Got the 2:05 Ascot though.

Placed : 10/08/2002 08:07:24 Bet Type : Singles Stake : 5.00
1 Bets @ 5.00 per bet Status

2-05 ASCOT PRINCE NUREYEV @ SP Open

Transaction Number : 444950201

 

[Captain Shamrock]

WTF?

There is no 2:40 Newmarket, only 2:45 and there is no Soviet Song.

Let me look in to this possible error. Sorry for misguiding if I made a mistake. As for Prince Nureyev,


It was the 3:20 Newmarket and there is a Soviet Song......Sorry.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Sorry, One Dart. I can't believe I gave the wrong race. It ended up a winner at a good price. As for Prince Nureyev, it is currently being served at a local Chinese restaurant.


3-20 NEWMARKET - 8 runners Places Paid 1,2 and 3 @ 1/5 odds
Off at 15:21:54


1st 10 SOVIET SONG 5.00
2nd 11 SUMMITVILLE 7.00
3rd 8 MISS ASSERTIVE 34.00

Forecast 10 beat 11 28.49


So, my NAPs are now a positive $60 with the above win. Bollocks. Maybe I should start betting on the horses again.....

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Since yesterday's pick was a winner for others, here is tomorrow's NAP for everyone......


CHICO GUAPO - 12:50 Lingfield - It should go off at about 2.25

2nd best - EPHESUS - 2:55 Lingfield
