So close….
Almost a blockbuster start on Saturday when Lady Jinks, priced at 1000, almost won the first race at Chepstow.
If I make something on a race, I’ll often put a little on the outsiders, generally in the jumps season, in the hope of catching a big one. In this race Lady Jinks put in a great show and surprised everybody by shortening to as little as 5’s before fluffing the last fence. It was agonising to watch as she just fell short of overhauling 11/8 favourite Tito Bustillo, it was a very close call. The bookies had her priced up at 200/1.
If you want to have a pop at catching a big outsider do the following. Set up Bet Angel to back a horse at 1000 with offsetting set at 140, use ‘with greening’ and if you are doing this before the race, turn the bet into a Keep bet. Make sure you check your stake, you don’t want to dump a load of money on this horse, it’s better if you use the minimum stake of £2. With that set up, you could turn that £2 stake into £200 if it shortens to 10’s in running. Of course, your skill now switches to trying to find at least 1 in 100 races where this could happen. If you can, you will be profitable in the long term.
