Stable Line Gold

By Leave a Comment

Another great week for Stable Line Gold sees us stretch away at the top of the leaderboard with 150 points of profit.

When we started Stable Line as you can see at the Webinar below it was with the promise of a genuine pro bet service based on inside information.

By inside info we mean info thats not in the public domain info that comes to me through a network of sources built up by myself. Members who have been with me since launch and have placed a flat hundred pounds on each selection are now nearly £5,000 of clear tax free profits up. Like the owner of Britain’s top Snuff shop these are profits not to be sniffed at.

They don’t all win they don’t need to, our edge as I outlined at the start of this service and has come true (unlike many claims in this World) is that we are privvy to good solid information that ensures we get good prices on fit and fancied horses. All you literally have to do is read your emails and place the bets the rest is done for you.

Towards the end of the jumps season I have invested serious funds in securing four new contacts for this flat season. These aren’t a bloke who knows a bloke types these are people well placed in top flat yards. Over the years people move around and networks must be tweaked and reinvigorated and I can confidently say going into the 2014 Flat season that this is the most complete set of informers I’ve ever had.

We start at Doncaster this weekend with information already in for four Major gambles including in the Lincoln itself which I hope will kick off our season in style. If you see this season as a time to take your betting more seriously then I hope you can get involved because I am so excited about the coming months and I would like you to share in that. Racing for all its issues and problems really is the greatest show on earth and if you join me you will go into every day including every Saturday and all the big meetings better informed than 99% of the betting public.

As I’ve said before in six months time be glad you did, don’t wish you had and starting at the Lincoln this Saturday we are after the Bookmakers cash!

On the subject of claiming Bookmakers cash which is one subject I never tire of I must thankyou for the feedback for BetFan.com/tv which is released every Friday and previews the weekend with free bets and special offers. We will be interviewing some very big names in the World of gambling soon so it’s unmissable viewing, make it an essential part of your Friday night and if you do enjoy it share it with your pals!

I shall be at Donny all weekend as we go into another Flat season and then next week I’m off to Aintree. Join me at Stableline Gold and be ready for both and the battle ahead. It’s going to be quite a year!

Back next Thursday.

Newbury stage day 1 of their excellent three day Winter Festival today which culminates on Saturday with the Hennessy Cognac Chase one of our greatest Handicap Steeplechases. All Trainers and Jockeys want to be involved in the winner and all punters want to back it.

There is something intensely satisfying about picking the Winner of this great race alongside the financial boost which is always nice! Last years very best Novices get the chance to go in a handicap against some of the best older horses. Who can forget Denman giving weight and a spanking to every other horse on two memorable occasions.

There is no Denman sadly this year but it promises to be a hugely competitive exciting renewal. The whole meeting has really upped its game and Newbury really is one of our top National Hunt courses now. The facilities for the racegoer are top notch too so if you do live anywhere near get yourselves along.

Top Trainer Nicky Henderson whose strike rate at Newbury is second to none is finally getting his yard into gear despite some high profile losses (1/6 on at Kempton on Monday ouch) and will be expecting a bucketload of winners over the next three days. His main adversary in the Champion Trainers Crown Paul Nicholls will be sending a strong unit as well and word has it is confident of winning the big race on Saturday with Rocky Creek.

It’s these big races with their huge prize funds which will determine whether Nicholls can retain his title from Henderson, one things for certain this hugely competitive man will be desperate to win it back. After the next three days we will be in a position to judge how this season is going and whether winning that title back is a realistic proposition.

At Stableline Gold we sit on top of the table for November and near the top of the all time table and we aim to stay on top of one and reach the top of the other. This is a huge season for us with the best inside info there is flying the way of the members early every morning. We get on nice and early and watch the price tumble. Join us, it’s better on the inside.

Have a great Newbury Festival everyone.

Back next Thursday.

Our successful month at Stableline Gold continues as we push the profits up higher much to the Bookmakers annoyance and much to the delight of our loyal band of members.

Since we started just over a year ago anyone placing a hundred pounds on each selection would now be and are actually in many cases £4,200 pounds richer for two minutes work four or five times a week. Real profits not hype genuine bookmaker cash in your pocket and as we head into the services second year I intend to crank it up further with a host of new informants across the length and breadth of this country.

It was while meeting a new snout at Fakenham on Tuesday (he’s signed up and ready to rumble) that I inadvertently attended a mini BetFan Summit as who should be seen lurking by the Paddock than the Gambling Don and who should be seen lurking in the Owners Bar than his nemesis Andy Bell he of the amusing diary ramblings.

The Don as cheery as ever greeted me with not you as well which is lovely after a long drive South and spent the rest of the afternoon grilling me as to the identity of my new snout. Much to my amusement the source was actually stood next to them in the bar as they had a furious row over who was the best Trainer in Newmarket. I had hoped peace would break out but it looks less likely than ever, thankfully there are no rivers in Fakenham so the Dons binoculars remained dry though I have noticed he grips them incredibly tightly when Mr Bell is in attendance.

AP turned up for one ride took an almighty fall at the last got up limped for ten seconds, grimaced then shot off. It wasn’t the time for autograph hunters to approach and he left the course quickly. Just another day and I spoke with one of the tracks great characters Kevan Minter AKA The Colonel in the press room and we marvelled how tough AP is.

I then had a chance to spend a few minutes with Thommo as he shamelessly flogged his book between commentating at times bizzarely. Over the years Thommo has had to face terrible criticism some of it of a highly personal and vitriolic nature, I should know I’ve written most of it. I have to say though he was in fine form as Bell and the Don looked on mockingly as we posed for photos. If you have a racing fan in your life then buy it them for Xmas it’s a funny and at times moving read. I must admit I had a tear in my eye myself as Thommo said “That will be twenty quid big fella.”

So we all went our separate ways AP in a huff, Thommo with Bob Champion in tow and a cardboard box half full of books telling me to give his best wishes to the DevilFish (arguably the second meanest man in the uk after Thommo himself). The Don and Andy Bell rowing and saying they were glad one was at Haydock and the other one was at Ascot on Saturday. And yours truly with a new snout signed up and my dads Xmas present sorted (after I’ve read it of course).

Do I love my job? What do you think! Join me at Stable Line Gold because the best just got even better as Thommo would say and did say continuously. (big fella. I lov it. Ho oh ho)

Back next Thursday.

Cheltenham’s Paddy Power Open Meeting

By Leave a Comment

This weekend Cheltenham stages its biggest meeting outside of the Festival, the Paddy Power Open meeting.

The top trainers will have a squad ready for this meeting and we will start to see a pecking order develop of where we are for the season in terms of novices. I haven’t seen any performance I would class as outstanding yet but I’m sure by Sunday night I will have a whole list of horses that will produce winners.

Nicholls and Henderson our top trainers have had relatively quiet starts to the season by their extremely high standards and both will be looking to stamp their authority on the season this weekend.

Nicholls is in a season of transition with many of his big guns retired or out injured but make no mistake he still has a massive squad of big money horses at his disposal and could well be set for a big weekend. Henderson is the more laid back character of the two but he will be keen to start putting plenty of winners on the board before he starts sending his really big guns out.

The success story of the year so far is Jonjo O’Neil whose team have been in sensational form with many ridden by AP of course and it’s this team that have the Ante Post fave for Saturdays big race The Paddy Power Gold Cup in the shape of Johns Spirit currently 6/1 across the board. Johns Spirit was impressive winning here recently but this represents a major step up in grade. He certainly deserves to be fave though given the form of connections and it will take a good one to beat him. He looks rock solid each way at 6/1.

I say this every big meeting but you must make note of good performances at this meeting because winners will flow from it. At Stable Line Gold we are riding high in he monthly table and we have some massive gambles lined up for the meeting. Join us and be part of the action.

Back next Thursday.

Stableline Gold stands on top of the November leaderboard with 63 points profit for November and rides high in the all time top ten BetFan table.

We aim to offer the best inside info service there is and if you make a claim like that you have to back it up with results and with gambles before they emerge in public and steamers before they steam.

Yesterday members were put on Minella for Steak at Chepstow before 8.30 am (when many a tipster is still dreaming of winners) at 7/1, by noon the horse was 7/2 fave and went on and did the business. I knew the night before and the importance of that is quite simple I can give my members the edge they need.

If you watch the video link underneath I tell you how I put together the network of contacts which can get me and then hopefully you well in front and staying well in front. This game becomes fun when you are playing with Bookmakers money and do you know what, they really don’t like that and have been known to cry for their Mummys!

The Jumps season is in full swing and one thing which as certain as the fact Andy Bell and The Gambling Don won’t be exchanging Christmas Cards is that AP will land the 4,000 winners very soon. The Country’s media will descend on sleepy Towcester today in the hope he will bag a winner. It will be on every newspaper in the land which can only be good for jumps racing.

My aim for Stableline Gold is that it’s seen as the AP of tipster services, well out in front with more winners than anyone, if I have to do nine stone I may need some notice though!

Another big weekend of jumps racing beckons so join us and get the big gambles in your inbox so you can get on early and watch the prices tumble, get me in your corner for this jumps season now.

Back next Thursday.

A huge weekend is on the horizon with Jumps Racing at Wetherby featuring the Charlie Hall Chase on Saturday followed by an evening of Breeders Cup Racing from the USA. The Breeders Cup sees itself as the World Series of Flat Racing and it should be the usual exciting night.

The Charlie Hall at Wetherby on Saturday is the first serious Chase of the season and King George and Gold Cup Winner Long Run makes his reappearance and is currently a best priced 5/4 to make it a winning one. That looks terrible value to me because he is a difficult horse to get fit and may well need this and on top of that this is a very strong renewal. First Lieutenant comes over the water and is a tempting 9/2 whilst Paul Nicholls runs the exciting Unioniste reiterating that Long Run has a real fight on his hands.

Kim Bailey is likely to run exciting second season chaser Harry Topper who lost his way last year but remains a horse of huge potential though I’m not sure this is the right race for him as they won’t hang about and that will put pressure on his jumping.

If you don’t have a bet in the race be sure to watch it because it will form the first piece of the jigsaw which will be completed in March at the festival when we crown the Gold Cup winner.

It’s not just the Charlie Hall for us at Wetherby we also have the West Yorkshire Hurdle featuring the return of At Fishers Cross who looks a far better banker bet than Long Run at a tempting 10/11 with sponsors Bet365. All ground and trips came alike to this horse last year and at the festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree he was massively impressive. He should take this comfortably before going on to much bigger and better things.

As Wetherby finishes on Saturday afternoon I shall make my way back to York Racecourse who like many others are hosting a Breeders cup night complete with big screens. If you get chance to attend one of these evenings grab it they are great fun if you can stay awake. The big race The Breeders cup Classic always closes proceedings and is America’s version of the Grand National in terms of public awareness. Europe sends over a weaker than usual team this year but dont miss the Fugue who has been kept for this meeting and will get the fast ground she needs to be at her very best.

So from soggy Wetherby over the jumps to the lightening fast Breeders cup speedsters this weekend has it all and at Stableline Gold we will be betting big at both meetings so get involved and get the very best inside info out there.

Back next Thursday.

In the next few days it’s highly likely Ap McCoy will blast through the historic 4,000 winner mark.

To put that in perspective the second most successful jockey of all time is Richard Dunwoody who retired on the 1699 winner mark!

Yes that’s right Ap is more than double his nearest rival demonstrating his dominance for so many years of the jumps game. He is human, well just about and can make mistakes and to be hyper Critical he is not the jockey he was ten years ago but at six months short of his fortieth birthday he is still at the top of his game.

On average one in every seven rides end in the jockey falling so do the maths and Ap has taken a real pounding to his body over the past twenty years. He famously shrugs off the kind of knocks that would make many of us take to our beds for a week and is back in the saddle the next day with a relentless determination that borders on the fanatical.

Lets not forget that like most jockeys Ap is well below the weight he would naturally be so unlike any other sport has to make a huge effort without being able to refuel and eat the right things. Ruby Walsh when staying with the great man felt peckish in the night and crept downstairs to raid the fridge only to be confronted by twenty cans of diet coke and a solitary carrot.

Every horse he rides be it at the Festival or on a wet Monday at Fontwell in front of deserted stands gets the same all action ride. That more than anything is why punters love the man.

So as he races through this historic barrier raise a glass to the great man and remember the winners he has given you over the years. Life and old Father Time will get him in the end and he will pack in so lets enjoy this sporting marvel while we can. It’s an overused phrase but it’s appropriate in this case, we really won’t see his like again!

Back next Thursday.

The cold sets in and we realise that autumn is indeed finally upon us after conning ourselves this red hot summer will go on forever. I always feel that the Flat ends for me at York’s final two day meeting which is tomorrow and Saturday. I know it staggers on officially till the November Handicap, but one thing to always remember is in the last few weeks of the flat the Bookmakers make unusually high profits which should set off alarm bells in any punter.

There is a variety of reasons for this, dodgy ground, horses being over the top and huge fields of unraced maidens where even the Trainers are not sure how good the horses are. And it is because of this that after York’s final jamboree my services Powernaps and the inside info service Stableline Gold switch over to the jumps unless something very special is going down on the late season flat. History shows we need to take the Bookmakers on when they are at their weakest and most vulnerable even then they are worthy foes, we certainly don’t need to pick an argument with them when they have the better cards!

Very late season flat reminds me of the old adage only the Bookmakers have to bet in every race, watch late season maidens they are hugely important for spotting next years winners but keep your powder dry.

Talking of York its been another great year on the Knavesmire (and I don’t just mean watching the Gambling Don nearly bundled in the Ouse by Andy Bell and his cronies at the Ebor Meeting although for the chuckle factor it was right up there). It doesn’t seem two minutes since the early season Dante meeting blighted by Torrential rain but here we are at close of play. Friday and Saturday look like being run on decent ground and with huge entries we look set for two hugely competitive days racing. If you can get there give it a whirl as there is no finer racecourse.

Stableline Gold has four big gambles planned and ready to go over the two days so join me in ending the season with a bang then lets settle down and smash into a massive jumps season.

Back next Thursday.

Frankie Dettori’s nightmare season concluded with a bang literally yesterday as he was thrown off on the way to the start sustaining a broken ankle.

Slightly bizarrely the screens were erected around the little Italian as though the great man was about to pay the ultimate price. Could it be someone had not enjoyed a meal at his wonderful Italian restaurant or was it a crazed fan still angry at him packing in being Captain at A Question of Sport!

Thankfully it was neither it’s just procedure as they say but a sprained ankle means we have seen the last of Frankie for a while. He has ridden poorly at times this year there’s no getting away from it however the game is a lot poorer without him so lets hope he is back firing on all cylinders next March.

The real story has been off the track of course as Big Mac with the Booby in tow has arrived at the High Court every day to pursue his Tribunal case for getting the Spanish Archer from Channel 4 Racing for being too old. The case must be uncomfortable viewing for the current team producing it as it has been revealed the extent of the slump in ratings since the old guard were dumped. Tanya Stevenson aka The Female who replaced Big Mac as betting expert lacks any presence and for me the coverage has not got over losing Big Mac who whatever else he was made the Betting Ring come alive.

I have had the misfortune of being in his company several times over the years and he is as mad as a field full of March Hares but along with Thommo and the Catt made Racing enjoyable for many. Aside from the excellent Nick Luck the new team seemed to be struggling and whatever happens in court the pressure is on because ratings are God in TV land.

At Stableline Gold we ended the month right up there in the BetFan Table and we have begun October in style. We have The Arc de Triomphe meeting in Paris on Friday and Saturday which will offer us plenty of opportunities to push on. Then the jumps really move into gear and so do we. No age discrimination here we just want the Bookies money!

Have a great week.

Stableline Gold – The Cambridgeshire

By Leave a Comment

Newmarket and one of the great late season meetings starts today, the three day Cambridgeshire meeting.

All races should be recorded and studied here particularly the Maidens as many a top Trainer will unleash some of his better unraced two year olds at this meeting. Gosden, Stoute, Noseda and many others all want Newmarket Maidens on their horses cv’s and will be aiming to make that happen this week.

Unusually for this meeting we will be racing on very quick ground with the only rain forecast being on Saturday afternoon for the Cambridgeshire itself so my advice if you are playing in the great race (which we all will be) is to wait for the day itself then you will know the draw and more importantly the ground. The Cambridgeshire is one of the great Cavalry charges of the year and for me if you bet at less than 10/1 in a race like this you need to be looking round for the men in white coats.

You can win big on these races but they pose many problems including draw, ground and pace just for starters. What you need to be doing is looking for ways of making a shortlist. My first port of call is to look for horses who have been successful in this type of event and to look for trainers who have prospered in these kind of races. A trainer will know what’s required and will target a particular horse for races like this because he knows the standard needed. Trainers are very often creatures of habit remember so watch out for those who have enjoyed success in similar events.

Watch my webinar which you can see by clicking the link below where I go into far more detail about the art of winner finding and you will then have plenty more weapons in your battle to beat the evil enemy.

Click Here For The Video.

At Stableline Gold we are aiming for our third winner on the bounce today and we have some major gambles lined up for this three day meeting. Join me and have me in your corner for the end of the Flat and right through the jumps season which promises to be our biggest ever. If you’re looking for a Gold Standard service then come to Stableline Gold.

Back next Thursday.
