Andy Bell Racing Diary… The Last Of Yarmouth ??????

September 20, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

The Last Of Yarmouth ??????

Sunday 14th. Wow, what a day for Bellie Boy, on our final day in the battle of the tipsters. We well and truly sent the Jolly Jock back to his beloved Bonny Scotland, with his sporran well and truly tucked between his legs.

We had the most amazing day and set of results, that you can only dream of for an ultra competitive festival. We kicked in the first three winners, ESTIDHKAAD at 11/10, MUTHMIR at 9/2 and than ANSGAR who lead all the way at 7/1. We than continued our amazing run by getting us all a place in the last four races, with SNOW SKY 3rd ew at 5/1, then BOLD SNIPER also 3rd at 7/1 ew, ROTHERWICK looked like winning at one stage, but secured us another place at 6/1 ew and than finally BRONZE ANGEL was just foiled from winning by Hughsey, being at his strongest and finished 2nd at 9/2. So in all an absolutely amazing day, where I didn’t have a losing race to finish off the four day leger special making a marvellous 36 points profit and making a personal overall four day profit of  28ish points

Wed +10
Thur + 5
Fri (-22.5)
Sat +36

But much more importantly the special returned everybody who sighed up a brilliant 23 points profit on the four days, which is no mean feat, having to bet in EVERY race and hats off to the Jolly Jock for a great effort as well.

It’s a shame I didn’t have the foresight to put all my special selections on my main service, but hey, with hindsight, if only we could bottle it we would all be millionaires.

My LATE BETTING clients also had a spanking winner, as I put up MUTHMIR as a maximum ew bet at 9/2, which will move us somewhere near the top of the BETFAN table, with well in excess of 125 points profit secured already this month.

Sunday Morning. With the Jolly Jock sent packing back to his Glen with a “riddie” and his “geddie” shut. The dust has settled and it seems like the day after the Lord Mayors show, all rubbish.

The LATE BETTING service is in fact top of the table, with Simon Holden’s Stable Line Cold in close second. On what is a very quiet morning I do get a good word for the Mark Johnson trained JALINGO who he has sent to Bath, which is mine and my clients only bet of the day.

After this weeks early mornings, late nights and excursions, I am going to wind down and chill out and just watch the Irish racing on TV.

JALINGO in all honesty runs very poorly and never looks like winning. These poor low grade races I should know better.

Monday15th. SPEND A PENNY looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to lose his maiden tag at Musselburgh today. He lead over half a furlong further at York last time and didn’t quite get home, so today’s five furlongs on a wick track should be ideal. I have a good bet on him and email out.

I am gearing myself up for the Yarmouth three day festival which kicks off tomorrow and trying without any luck to book a hotel.

I get a lunchtime call telling me that their FOR SHIA AND LULA is expected to run a huge race. Although she is 7/2, I personally back her ew, not that it’s normal practice for me to back a 7/2 shot ew, but I am just a bit concerned about the draw and suggest all my LATE BETTING clients do likewise.

I have been unable to book the same hotel for the three nights so I decide to come home Tuesday night and just stay Wednesday and Thursday, which should be enough anyway.

Oh dear SPEND A PENNY runs like a toilet and trails in very near last, not his running for sure, there must be a problem.

FOR SHIA AND LULA rewards our confident and overcomes the problematic draw to win nice and easily and gives us a seventeen point profit and our fourth winning day on the trot.

Tuesday 16th. Yesterday’s win for the LATE SERVICE increases our lead at the top of the leaders board and takes us over 150 points profit, with a 50% strike rate and an amazing over 150% return on investment.

It’s the start of the three day festival at Great Yarmouth today and the last of the year, due to remedial works on the course to smooth out the ridges. I wonder if it will open again????

Steve is mad keen on SLEEP IN FIRST and tells me defeat is thought to be out of the question and as I say in my email to my ANDY BELL clients everything is perfect for it, the trip, the ground, it’s mark and also the 7lb claimed Daragh. I get my boys to go maximum on him for me and also tell my clients to have a maximum 10 point win and advise taking the 3/1.

The Yarmouth card doesn’t look very inspiring and it will be a no bet day for me. My father picks me up and as we arrive I have never seen the car park so full, we have to park 100 yards down the overflow car park. The weather has brought the holiday makers out in mass and the grassed area resembles a Spanish beach. I do have a mission today although it’s not a bet it will benefit BETFAN and all their clients as I am meeting the Colonal aka Kevan Minter with a view to bringing him on board to strengthen our already strong tipping team. A 100/1 shot has occurred today, I decide that it’s only going to be water and tea that passes my lips this afternoon.

SLEEP IN FIRST is travelling very nicely until he slips on the top bend and drops back, I am just concerned he may of hurt himself, but young Daragh is always in control and even with missing the last he wins going away. Oi oi a personal maximum bet landed and also one for my clients. No celebratory drink as I’m whisked straight to the car and we are away before I have a chance to change my mind.

Wednesday17th. A Super winning day for us all yesterday and the Colonal has agreed to join our tipster ranks and I am told he will launch in early October. The good thing about strengthening our ranks is the fact that we can drop/lose the poorer performing tipsters and services, which hold us back as a company and a market force.

What’s Lord Howie getting out of his pram for and slating “some” betfan tipsters for bulling up short priced winners and saying it wipes out most punters, I agree to a degree, but a winner is a winner and when his own service has made only 183 points profit (that includes his recent 90/1double) in 35 months, that’s an average of 5pts profit a month, just about pays for the subscriptions, surely nothing to shout about is it, The Lord.

I am booked into the Palm court hotel tonight and tomorrow, so it probably won’t be a water and tea for two more days.

Once again i’m not inspired by the Yarmouth card and have no plans to get involved, that is until I arrive and find out the plan for WALL OF SOUND is to be jumped out and poach an early lead and is a cracking place option. I quickly email this information out to the LATE service and advise taking the 16/1 which is on offer.

Personally I have a view in the second race and it surrounds Micky Quinn’s runner, REFUSE COLETTE, I think she has finished her super spell and the handicapper has caught up with her, so I lay her win and place. In running she looks the first beat, but I do just cover myself by backing her to win at 9.6 in running, just in time as she bolts in and produces her best run to date. Micky Quinn is very animated, which he should be, because he has improved his little charge tremendously, on shaking his hand he asks did I back her ??  I said “no, sorry mate, but very well done” I thought it prudent not to mention I had laid her lol.

WALL OF SOUND is up next and jumps the gates and leads as we expected and coming into the final furlong I can see a 16/1 winner happening, only for him just to get caught in the final strides, a nice ew profit, but wow very nearly a nice cop.

I join the Quinny clan in the bar and we all have a few and he thinks COLETTE can go close again at Newmarket on the 25th, I have my reservations again, but keep them to myself after her super career best run today.

The rest of the card passes without incident and we head into town after Stuart Williams clears up in the last.

Pub on the prom is the habitual first port of call and for a change it’s packed early doors. We have a nice crew assembled already tonight and I am going to attempt to stay relatively sober as we have the “big un” tomorrow, Kens memorial day, which Michael Foulger (Norwich city director) has sorted and kindly sponsored the race.

The girlies are conspicuous by their absence tonight as even money they are all busy matching their shoes to their outfits, collars and cuffs in ready for tomorrows ladies day.

We head towards Othello’s to meet the ever cheerful Michael for some nosh. the popular selection seems to be the surf and turf, so I weigh in myself and quickly grab the wine menu, three red and three white looks a good starter and as I don’t hear any complaints I go ahead.

We leave Michael with far to much of our hard earned and head up to Bear, which is a club at the top of town, the sort with scaffold poles scattered around, not my cup of tea, thought I said no tea today, but I do manage to drag myself up there. I do honestly struggle to see the point in stuffing notes in a girlies garter just to see her boobs and then being told, no touching, it’s even worse if you go into the back room, but hey, everybody to their own and there are no shortage of takers, so I can only assume I’m in the minority.

With half of the crew out the back, probably hiding their modesty’s and wallets, we head for a late one in town on the Prom, not at the time, but thankfully it’s shut and we head back to our hotels.

Thursday 18th. It’s Kens Memorial day and his race is the second on the card, where we have a Cumani hotpot, which everybody knows is virtually unbeatable and is trading at 8/13.

It’s the start of the Ayr three dayer and that’s where I am betting. RISE TO GLORY who shouldn’t be a 8/1 shot after his two wins in three races and ALMUHEET, who will love the course and the ground at 4/1. I email both these out to ANDY BELLs clients as ew bets and also an ew double. As I also say on my message, we should have a LATE CALL bet, but the connections just want to make sure the course isn’t to firm, when they get there.

We meet in the owners and trainers bar, just as Frankie gets beaten on the odds on shot in the first and Tommo gets in on the Kens Memorial day act with an interview with most connected to him in the parade ring. As we expected the Cumani trained BARTHOLOMEW FAIR bolts up at 4/7 in the memorial race and after the presentations and a few tearful speeches we retire to Michael Folgers box.

We get the nod on the Richard Hannon trained AL BANDAR, which Hughsey rides, so I put this out as our promised LATE bet and advise taking the 9/4 price.

The wine is free flowing by now, as we watch both my Ayr selections get a place and we make a nice profit on the day with two singles and an ew double.

We get the nod on the Richard Hannon trained AL BANDAR, which Hughsey rides, so I put this out as our promised LATE bet and advise taking the 9/4 price.

AL BANDAR is smashed up in the betting, looks great in the paddock and goes of a very short 6/4 shot.

Hughsey gets in the drive position two furlongs out and no other jockey would of beaten us on AL BANDAR today, as both go clear, other than Ryan Moore, just for a moment I thought we had just got it, but our head was on the way up and we are second.

AL BANDAR does dampen our spirits a shade, but doesn’t ruin the day and we all kick on in our attempt to empty the gratis bar. 6-00 O’clock soon arrives and we are all ushered out. We head into town and straight into the Colonal H to visit Ruth. I am full and head back to the hotel for an early night, not by design, I think it was my dance on the table that sealed my fate,

Friday 19th. A little fragile, but it could of been worse this morning. I pop to La Continental for breakfast before I leave for home. Although the LATE SERVICE has had a losing day we are still way out in front at the top of the table, with ANDY BELL now starting to hit the winners again and is creeping up the table.
I understand that the plan is for BONNE FEE to give Jason Maguire a come back ride win and at 10/11 I pass this information on and back it myself.

Ayr looks very difficult today, but I am told that Silvester Kirks INSPECTOR NORSE is expected to go very close and at 9/4 this is my final ANDY BELL selection of the day.

I meet up with Tony the machine for an end of the week catch up as I have a day free before Newmarket tomorrow. We watch all the racing on my iPad from the Bear where we have a very jovial Trudy behind the ramp today.

BONNE FEE wins very nicely and ensures a winning day on ANDY BELLS service regardless on how INSPECTOR NORSE performs later. I have a busy day at Newmarket planned tomorrow so I leave before our last and listen to him just get beaten in to second at a very well backed 7/4.
To bed early on the back of a very small winning day.

Saturday 20th. Newmarket today and I shall be leaving at 12ish. Fortunately we have missed most of the flash floods so the ground should be good to firm.

I think the pictures in the Daily Mirror are disgraceful of WIGMORE HALL being humanly put down, who really okayed these pictures to be published on the front page. Do people really think this doesn’t happen, because it does and MUST be done for the sake of the poor animal. This particular horse as most, has had the best treatment and a very privileged life. Shame on you the Daily Mirror for your come and buy me cheap shot.

Today’s free tip; 4-15 Newmarket RAY WARD – Win Bet 7/2 – (888)

We have a huge week in store, with the Newmarket’s Cambridge meeting, which is normally a very prosperous one for me and with both my service topping the 150 points profit for the month, maybe it’s time to join and hover up some of them tax free profits.

“When you get a thing the way you want it, leave it alone.” Winston Churchill

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, be good or careful.

Back next Saturday.

Andy Bell’s Racing Diary

September 14, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

Bellie Boy Inflicts the Greatest Defeat On Scotland’s Tartan Tipster since Flodden 1513.

Sunday 7th. A great days racing yesterday, with a top class card at Ascot and the Betfred Sprint at Haydock, also with meetings at Kempton, Thirsk, Stratford and Naven. The new kiddie on the northern circuit, David O’Meara once again had a super day, culminating with the Betfred sprint winner, G FORCE, William Haggis had a couple of nice winners SQUATS and TADPOLE, I think the Sir Mark trained winner CELESTIAL PATH is defiantly one to follow next year in pattern races and we may have seen next years Ebor winner in the shape of the Luca Cumani trained MIZZOU.

On a personal level my ANDY BELL’s clients had two winners and two thirds in their advised Yankee, but the LATE SERVICE took the biscuit, with an near maximum win only bet on MIZZOU at 4/1, although we backed a 10/1 ew loser, the LATE SERVICE made 26 points clear profit on the day.

Sunday morning and thankfully both my services are in profit and I feel in great form which is good as we have a big week ahead of us and I already have two very strong bets at Doncaster lined up.

Today we have loads of information in and with Steve’s help we formulate a Fontwell Trixie with VOSNE ROMANEE 6/4, LADFROMHIGHWORTH 6/4 and finally the AP ridden CONDUCTING 7/4.

I also add the Jamie Osborne trained LA CUESTA which was a really good fifth at Royal Ascot, as a win single bet.

We have a crew descending upon Jafeica House today,  Dad, Pauline, Daughter Georgia and the Great Alfonze. The older daughter, Lauren, has a better offer and its easier letting us down than her friends, lets see if her friends are so accommodating next time things are tight.

The roast pork is in, potatoes, carrots and beans are harvested from the garden, the eggs from the chooks for the Yorkshire puddings.

I just have time to read the Grumblings Dons next episode of pathetic moans, as if Hughsey jumped of HAVANNA at the start and how can you slate him for holding up a horse, SOLE POWER, who has never won over 6f, what is he meant to do, bowl along in front, no wonder he needs my book to read in bed, as I’m sure nobody wants to listen to him all night.

Just in time, so I can give the LATE BETTING service clients a hours grace,  INVINCIBLE GOLD comes through in the first at York, as a cracking ew bet. I quickly punt him with Keith and Tom and also advise my clients to do likewise and take the 14/1 on offer.

We nearly have a full compliment to watch and cheer INVINCIBLE GOLD home under a super ride from George Baker, with only the Great Alfonze missing, good, he would of probably put the mockers on a super start to the day and a 35 point profit.

Immediately afterwards young Twiston-Davies gives the good Doctors VOSNE ROMANEE a cracking ride and a very exciting start to our ANDY BELL’s clients Trixie with a 6/4 winner. It’s certainly a day for great rides and Smiley ( Nick Scofield ) is not going to be left out, as he gives LADFROMHIGHWORTH an incredible ride to win the next and give us two out of two in our Trixie. Once again we are very dependent on the champ himself AP, who hasn’t done us any favours of late, to complete our Sunday Trixie. It certainly wasn’t for the want of trying as AP pushes, shoves, hits and squeezes for what seems like forever and just fails to lift him over the line and finishes a clear second. Once again we have been scuppered at the final hurdle, although our Trixie returns us a profit, but nothing like it would of done with three winners.

Monday 8th.  Pre festival racing is often very poor and today is no exception, for once and for the first time that I can remember for a long while, we are having a no bet day.

I decide to look through the Doncaster ledger cards in the hope that the Greedy 1s don’t get into the clerks ribs and tempt him into watering.

Tuesday 9th. Thankfully Steve saves another blank day as he is on the phone with the ex pointer I C GOLD under the guidance of Dicky Johnson, who is expected to win tonight. I make sure Keith and Tom back this for me and I email him out.

I have to pick up my suits from the cleaners and make sure I hide from the boys if they are lurking, as they will try and entice me in for a quick one, a beer I mean, lol and as we know a quicky, when it comes to beer is virtually impossible. Luckily my suits and I escape undetected and head for the safety of home.

I C GOLD and Dicky gives us the perfect tonic for our task ahead and wins just as he is expected to and coupled with a loser we still make a nice profit on the day.

Wednesday 10th. The waiting is nearly over now as I get on the 10-12 train and head up north. I am booked in the Premier inn and I am meeting Mr Holden at Doncaster station.

I have the battle of the tipsters challenge starting today against the Jolly Jock and I am hoping I can send him back into his glens a broken and humiliated little man.

Whilst travelling up I get all my selections sorted for the battle of the tipsters and also both my services done. I have advised my ANDY BELL’s clients to back DEADLY STING at 11/10 in the first at Uttoxeter, also advising all that are able to back this old rogue in running as he is a bit naughty to say the least. STEPS at 7/1 ew at Doncaster in the big sprint, CHILL FACTOR at 6/4 also at Uttoxeter and finally DANGEROUS AGE in the last at Doncaster ew at 10/1.

On my LATE SERVICE I also put up DEADLY STING as a maximum win bet as I get another call saying that he is fully expected to win
For a change Holden is actually on time and for once he isn’t wearing one of his now famous Pink shirts.

I get off to a right flyer in my first days challenge in the battle of the tipsters ledger special against the Jolly Jock, with the first winner SALATEEN at 3/1 and in the same race GORING 2nd ew at 16/1, I then bang in the next winner as well ANGELIC LORD at 4/5, followed by STEPS making us a small ew profit finishing third and finally DANSILI DUTCH also finishing third and again making us another small ew profit. We didn’t trouble the scorers any more, but that was enough to show me a profit of 5 points on the first day and kick me into an early lead.

ANDY BELLs service has made 20 points profit and the LATE BETTING service has landed a maximum bet and made 11 points profit, so in all a very satisfactory days work all round.

It’s our first night out in Doncaster and Simon and I head towards the centre. The Walkabout bar is our first port of call, we don’t last in there long and we head down the high street and call in the Regent, where the music is blaring out. We meet up with one of the local Greedy 1s and allow him to buy us a beer. We are well on the way and having a mini celebration to a super start to the festival, theres a few women lurking with one in a wheel chair, things are still relatively quiet until YMCA blasts out into the room and I think it’s a good idea to strut my stuff to it, I know Bellie Boys had a good start and can pick the odd winner or three, but I was unaware that I had healing powers, because as I’m doing the “Y” in YMCA, I notice the once wheel chair bound girlie is now strutting her stuff and much better than me. Holden is on the periphery, but cant quite summon up the energy or inclination to drag himself from the bar and Graham the Greedy 1 is in fits of laughter at my antics. We finally leave or get asked to and Simon is unable to pass the Kebab shop next door and gets himself a meal for four. As we enter Weatherspoon’s I spot the man from George, the Grumbling Don sipping a half in a corner on his own. He didn’t look very happy, so either Penny has not come or he is on a poor run, we didn’t bother to ask.

We finally get a taxi back to the hotel and are point blankly refused any further beer at the bar and quickly ushered towards our rooms.

Thursday 11th. Up bright and early with a spring in my step after a super start to the festival, Simon is, yes, you’ve guessed it having a huge fry up and I wander across the estate to get a paper, not a good start as they are all sold. No problem I can phone a taxi to get me one, impossible, from six different firms not one of the tight wads will pick me up a racing post and bring it to the hotel, thank goodness for the local boy Graham as he agrees to pick me one up and brings it as long as I promise not to bet with him and mark his card.

I get a very good word for MARY MACPHEE in the first trading at 20-1 and couple her with, what I am told is Luca Cumani’s “good thing” of the day, BLUE WALTZ at 3/1. With both of these backed and emailed out, we can get ready for day 2. Once again the taxis are giving us a right headache as we can’t get one, luckily for us, ultimately for them, we smooth our way into a very nice couples taxi, Ray and  American Krista. I mark Rays card as thanks and promise to meet them later for a beer, as we are going up the escalator a yankee yelp and yes it’s them, so we head for the bar, with the first bottle of bubbly popped, things are going very well, Ray is a millionaire, I think, with houses in Australia and a ranch in Texas.

My first two runners go slower than the first two bottles and then thankfully things perk up. I get a call telling me I must back  KIYOSHI and take the 12/1 on offer, I get Keith, Tom and Smudger to do this for me and email him out as a LATE bet. Jamie Spencer rides a peach of a race and seems to be a new man, since he announced his retirement and wins very nicely. Oi oi over 50 points profit for the LATE boys and girls and the third and fourth bottles soon follow. Things get even better as BONDS GIRL wins for us at a very tasty 14/1, followed by BLUE WALTZ AT 4/1 bolting up giving the impression he is going to be a very good horse. Our new found friends are in seventh heaven and even Holden is smiling as the wads keep going into that bottomless wallet. When RUN WITH PRIDE very nearly wins at 20-1 (3rd), Ray is so happy we get an invite to his sixtieth birthday bash in Perth, Australia, staying at his mansion for two to three weeks during February, next year with his chauffeur picking us up from the airport, it takes us all of two seconds to consider this super offer and accept. Wow, what a quirk of fate and super luck.

I have cemented my position as No.1 on the second day in the Battle of the tipsters, with winners that included BONDS GIRL at 14/1, BLUE WALTZ 4/1 and RUN WITH PRIDE ew at 20/1, making an impressive profit of 10 points on the day, leaving the Jolly Jock trailing in my wake.

We can now finish off our superb day with a clear conscience as all my clients and close to me have had a cracking day. We stop at the first watering hole on our way into town and remain right there until we wander across the road to our now favourite Doncaster Chinese. Not a late one for me tonight as its’ only half a job done.

Friday 12th. Yesterdays winners ensured we hit three winnings days on the trot for ANDY BELL as well as smashing the 100 points profit barrier for the LATE betting service already this month and we are leaving the Jolly Jock trailing in our wake.

To me this looks very much a favourites day and I put all my bets out accordingly.

What’s the Greyhound chappy wanting to spice his column up a shade by telling us all about his dogging stories, do you have to flash the interior light once or twice nowadays, let us all know, we will not tell on you, promise.

Simon and I have an invite to a sexy local business women’s box. As I don’t fancy any food, we rock up there at 2-30ish just in time to tip up HRHs, ESTIMATE. We have a nice mix of people ranging from pretty girls, happy go lucky guys, oh and the habitual drunk arsehole.

Feeling a bit down after a poor start as for all intense purposes we had the winner of the flying Childers until George Baker was unseated, or did the saddle slip, the jury’s still out, yards from the line and than Peter Chapple-hyams running very poorly in the next, we needed ESTIMATE to get our day on track again.

Ryan Moore delivers the goods with a super ride and the pressure is off for a while and have we hit form again today, just in time for my nap. In true Bellie boy style I ensure everybody on and around the table are on DANZENO. As he cuts through the pack with consummate ease and hits the front the tingles begin and I’m sure we win, oh no, only for him to drift across the track and allows himself to get beaten by a neck. I’m gutted as I have had a maximum bet on him and also told anyone within a five mile radius to do likewise. Walking back to the table was like the long walk to the hang mans noose, most were ok, but the ginger arsehole did have his ten penith worth “your full of shit” good job he had drunk himself into oblivion as my next two lose.

By far my worst day of the week and the Jolly Jock has closed the gap on me a shade.

Another day tomorrow for me to kick on again, as we all know, well most sensible people anyway, we can’t win everyday.

A quick drink on route pre Chinese as we are full up of gratis free wine curtsy of the steel industry.

Saturday 13th. Final day in my battle of the tipsters against the Jolly Jock, who isn’t quite so Jolly as he is trailing. I need a good day today to stamp my authority on the competition and show him who really is the best.

I really fancy todays card at Doncaster and on ANDY BELLs service to put up two bets RUTHERWICH at 6/1 and BRONZE ANGEL at 9/2 in the last.

In my final day of the Battle of the tipsters , in the first we kick off with ESTIDHKAAD at 11/10, than MUTHMIR at 9/2 ew in the Portland, the Irish challenger ANSGAR ew at 7/1 in the Park stakes, SNOW SKY 5/1 ew in the Ledger, HRHs BOLD SNIPER ew at 7/1, ROTHERWICK ew at 6/1 and in the lucky last BRONZE ANGEL ew at 9/2. With all my selections in, there is nothing more I can do apart from wait now.

It’s sometimes difficult doing these specials as we have to pick a selection in every race, which suits a lot of punters as they like to bet in every race but it does cause others upset if I hit a winner on my special but not to my members. I do try and select where I put wisely, but it doesn’t always work, well not for everybody anyway. If the specials don’t suit your particular style of betting you shouldn’t really moan about the ones it does. Horses for courses I say.  Or join the f****r and be part of it, for my percentage of £3 I can take it or leave it, the choice is all yours.

Have a look at www.andybellbetfan.com and think about making some money and signing up, if my service isn’t to your liking there are many more in the BETFAN camp, that may tickle your fancy.

Some smelly bastard has nicked my iPad, so I do apologise for my diary being a day late.

Lets hope that we can send the Jolly Jock, climbing over that wall with a good old English spanking.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give up, get CAUGHT or vote NO.

Thanks for your support, most anyway, lol and let’s be lucky.

Andy Bell.

Andy Bell’s Racing Diary

September 6, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

Sunday 31st. After another eventful days racing yesterday, we once again made a really good profit, with ECCLESTON at 9/1 very nearly getting us off to the perfect start, unfortunately Daniel Tudhope was short of room at a crucial stage and did run on very strongly to get us a place. Our best bet of the day and also my FREE column tip, duly obliged, AKTABANTAY at 9/4, under what can be considered as one of the rides of the season by Ryan Moore, which ensured us a winning day again, our fourth on the trot and then the long wait until our final two bets at Market Raisin.

CHESTERFIELD was our third and final leg of our days ew Trixie and if the run in had of been as it used to be, longer, we would of won, but had to settle for another second and a profit on our Trixie.

The LATE BETTING service clients are on CALM ATTITUDE at 16/1 and as he hits the front at the half a furlong post, I think we have hit the jackpot, only for him to get mugged on the line and finish a most annoying second. Thankfully we have had a very good month on the LATE SERVICE and that should put us up to somewhere near 50 points profit for the month.

Our final bet of the day and the month was TREGARO, who at 3/1 looked a really good bet, especially as we were pretty certain the favourite was a non stayer and the weights favoured us immensely. Pity TREGARO wasn’t in our Trixie, because he bolted up at a very well backed 15/8, to finish off a really good profitable day.

A lovely Sunday morning and no time for church as already the phones have been red hot and we have a bet in the first at Brighton, SECRET MISSILE, who I am told is going to be jumped out of the stalls and attempt to lead all the way and at 5/1, if this is the case he is a cracking ew bet to nothing. MOTOU ridden by AP, if he comes back to anywhere near his old form has a massive chance and at 7/2. I bet and email both these out and also advise an ew double.

Just as the dust has settled and the bacon is sizzling in the pan, we get another big bet at Brighton, EMMAN BEE, who is currently trading at 9/2, with the strength of this information, I have no hesitation in betting and emailing him out blind.

That Grumbling Don is at it again, is there a poor old Jockey that can actually ride a horse in his eyes, as each jockey seems to get his turn to be slated in the Sunday Sermon, this week it was James Doyle’s turn on FUTURE EMPIRE and not even a mention of Ryan Moore master class ride, be consistent at least.

It’s the last day of what we can call a difficult month and we get it off to the perfect start as SECRET MISSILE does exactly as we expected and leads all the way and bolts up by an uncontested seven lengths. This has ensured us of our fourth winning day on the trot, but my mind is now firmly on MOTOU, because if he can win we have had an amazing escape and just about turned our month around again, after four very near misses in the past few days. Three out MOTOU is running like a drain and I can’t believe AP is not even going to get us place and once again a 5/1 winner has gone begging in our ew double. The day and the month does finish on a high as EMMAN BEE wins very nicely giving us over 25 points profit on the day, I’m still smarting at MOTOU as AP has just about won every other race on the card and left wishing I had put EMMAN BEE in our ew double and than we really would of had the great escape.

Monday 1st. A cracking end to the month, shame about the start, but we are firmly back on track again. Let’s make sure we make a strong start and continue in the same vein as we finished.

I am going to Huntingdon today, where I have just emailed out our first bet of the month, THATS A FACT, which I have just backed and I shall also be backing him again on again on course.

I was going to meet the boys in Weatherspoon’s today for a catchup and a crack, after my week of zero alcohol, but alas it will have to be tomorrow now. The crowd at Huntingdon is quite lively for a miserable Monday. I thought we were going to get a late Indian summer in September this year, maybe Michael Fish has come out of retirement.

As Davey Russell creeps up the inside on THATS A FACT, barring accidents he can be called the winner two out and we have thankfully hit the ground running and posted another winning day and more importantly got September off to a winning start.

Tuesday 2nd. Bellie Boys on the leader board for September, wow you may say, but when we have come so accustomed to being bang up there three weeks of hell seems half a life time, trust me.

I arrange our belated day out and Tony the Machine and I decide to visit some old stamping grounds, Great Yarmouth, as we rock up the first port of call is the Kentucky on the high street, to get some substance in us prior to our hopefully large alcoholic intake. A bargain bucket and masses of wraps later, we head to the Colonal H to see the charming Ruth, this was one of Kens favourite watering holes, RIP mate. She is her normal jolly self with a large vodka in tow and a smile, I think we are now captured for the day.

I have bet and emailed out two selections today ROCKET ROB from the tricky Willie Mussen yard, ew at 9/1 and LAST MINUTE LISA in the last at Goodwood at 3/1.

I don’t know how the Jolly Jock aka The tartan tipster is going to cope with having to pick a horse in every race of every day for the Ledger festival as he cried off after only two days of the Ebor. I just hope there is room under Eddie the Stats bed for him to hide. As for Rick Parfitt, Jolly, stick to your hot whores list you have more chance of scoring.

Ruth is in blinding form, well I think it’s her anyway, because I can only see a vague silhouette through the bottom of her glass. Tony and I are struggling as the Kentucky has blocked the way and although we attempt to drink we are fighting a losing battle and after ROCKET ROB misses a place, we admit defeat and head homewards.

Our spirits are lifted on the way home as we listen to Hughsey give LAST MINUTE LISA a peach of a ride and wins easily, to bank us another winning day and that continues our winning streak.

Wednesday 3rd. Slowly, slowly catch a monkey, we are quietly creeping back up the table and have already amassed a thirty five point profit for September. Which now gives us six winning days on the trot.

Today seems the day for some juicy prices as my emails and selections include OPERATEUR ew at 7/1, SILVERRICA ew at 5/1 and the Smiley ridden, ex pointer, KILLIMORDALY also ew at 7/1.

I get a call asking me if i can travel up to York tomorrow to meet a publisher called Steve who is very interested in turning my weekly BETFAN diary/column into a book, which I find quite flattering and exciting.

In the first race I am told that the Ben Haslem trained EVER SO MUCH is cherry ripe today and barring accidents is fully expected to win, my enthusiasm is temped a shade when I look at my tissues and see that I have him priced up as a 1/3 shot, but am pleasantly surprised to see that he is in fact trading at a shade odds on. I have absolutely no hesitation in getting my bettors to punt him for me and also putting him up as a maximum bet on my LATE SERVICE.

OPERATEUR runs a gallant race in defeat and finishes 2nd to what can be called an unusual set of events surrounding the Jim Best yard, AP and a non runner. In short Jim Best pulls one of his two runners out, punts the other off the boards, puts AP on it and wins, beating us in the process, even money we haven’t heard the last of this.

AP has more of an armchair ride on EVER SO MUCH as he just has to point him in the correct direction for a farcical win. Our other two, SILVERRICA and KILLIMORDALY both run well below par and contributes to our first losing day in seven, I talked that up this morning didn’t I.

Thursday 4th. I’m on the 10-17 to York this morning and meeting Holden in the station bar and then onto meet Steve the publisher. Just before I set off, I was told that the Alan Swinbank yard were going for a touch on their ARYIZAD, who I bet and emailed out advising taking the 11/2 with William Hills was a good idea.

On route I attempt to bet put up MADE IN RIO at 15/8 as a win bet. As I arrive at Peterborough for my change and at last get some decent internet coverage, I notice neither my bets or emails have been delivered. Annoyed at this fact, I have no option but to resend and rubbing salt in the wound RIO has shortened and is now trading at 13/8. Stable Line Colds column doesn’t help my mood, but it is quite amusing, better than cleaning the trains toilets I suppose.

I arrive into York expecting Holden and a beer to be waiting at the bar, nothing and nobody, a text later, oh, thought you were on the 2-40 not the 1-40, sometimes he makes the Jolly Jock look generous and flash.

When he has finally finished his weekly bath we meet in the Living Room to discuss our planned meeting and what to expect.

I get a very interesting call advising me that WIENER VALKKYRIE is better than the price of 10/1 suggests, although this is his first run, I have an ew bet on him and also email him out to my LATE SERVICE clients.

The meeting with Steve goes very well and I now have an idea of what is expected of me and how we can move forward with my best seller, lol.

Although MADE IN RIO trades very short in running, he fades away rather tamely, maybe suggesting he has had enough after a busy season.

We are hoping that DANZENO makes the cut for the Betfred Sprint on Saturday at Haydock, I have an ew bet on him at 25/1 and suggest on the bottom of my daily email all my clients do likewise.

WEINER VALKKYRIE gets the heart pumping as he cruises through the gears and looks the most likely winner at the furlong post, only to get beaten by a 66/1 shot, after a very sympathetic and quiet introduction by William Buick. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this on the Jocks hot whores list as he is most defiantly one for the notebooks.

Simon Walker never quite looks like getting up after being caught short for room at a critical point on ARYZAD, but ensures we get a place for a small profit.

A night out in York tonight and the unenviable task of trying to prize some folding out of Holden’s wallet. Missoula is always a good starting point and then onto Akbar’s for an Indian, not my first choice, but I have to tow the line.

I am pleasantly surprised by how good the Indian actually is, but not at all by Holden’s red wine fuelled antics of falling asleep just as the bill arrives. Back to the hotel to put the loo rolls in the fridge ready for the mornings rush.

Friday 5th. A busy Friday morning and I don’t mean in the Thomas, I have three big bets to punt and email out, MADEED at 7/4, who’s gallops have been reported as sparkling at home, TESTA ROSA at 5/1 is an ew steal and finally a big win bet in the last at Kempton on SABORIDO at 3/1. Time for a quick breakfast, at my favourite York hotel, the Queens and then onto a second meet with Steve to hopefully tie up the loose end and seal my book deal.

It’s official you can all buy the black sheep of the family an apt Christmas present, George “Bellie Boy” Orwells new book, very similar to Animal Farm in places I must admit.

Celebration time and all is rosey, Holdens now getting some colour in his cheeks, three empty bottles fill our table and a couple of gin and tonics and I am sure I have won the day and got him on a jolly. All of a sudden he gets a call and has to leave, Mmmmm I wonder if there was anybody on the other end of the dirty dogs mobile as he never returns, a dirty trick, stand me up at the start of my trip and leaves me at the end, who needs enemies.

MADEED gets smashed up in the betting into 5/4 only to finished third, not the greatest of starts, maybe it’s a bit of payback for my attempted dirty deed.

I wobble onto the 6-01 train and head homewards. TESTA ROSSA just fails to get up and indeed is an ew steal and secures us a small profit ew.

Now it’s the long journey home and wait for our last winner runner at Kempton. The journey is made even more tedious as my mobile crashes and the electrical sockets are not working. If the train runs to time I arrive at 9-15 to be collected by my father and I can listen to the 9-20 on his mobile. For once all runs to time and I can fortunately listen to SABORIDO bolt in and stuff the short priced favourite. A perfect end to a perfect day, well for me anyway, I don’t know how Simons went heheheh, although I’m sure he will inform me in the morning.

Saturday 6th. A good three card brag hand yesterday a 1,2,3 and thankfully our biggest bet SABORIDO at 3/1 obliged and gave us a good 20ish point winning day.

Once again our anti post bet today in the Sprint has been scuppered by him not making the cut and getting balloted out, note all monies should be returned.

TODAYS FREE TIP:

14:40 Haydock OCEAN TEMPEST win bet at 3/1 Stan James.

“During their lifetimes, every man and woman will stumble across a great opportunity. Sadly, most of them will simply pick themselves up, dust themselves down and carry on as if nothing ever happened.” Winston Churchill

So take the great mans advice and sign up NOW, we have a great few weeks coming up, starting with my slow four day execution of the Jolly Jock at the Doncaster St.Ledger meet and then we move straight into the Newmarket Cambridgeshire meeting and then finally the three day Yarmouth festival and finally, hopefully a well earned and Greedy 1s paid for weeks holiday.

If any of you are at Donny next week get in touch via Andy Bell Racings Facebook page and I will meet up for a beer.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, get fed up of backing winners.

Back next Saturday.
