Due to run tomorrow (April 14th) at the Newmarket meeting. Class 4 handicap at 16:10, bottom of the weights and will probably be outclassed.
A bit of irony is the race is the National Stud handicap and poor Raj is one of only 2 geldings in the race.

Not a bad run at all for his first run back.
Will win a race or two this summer if he goes back down in class.

It can be done accrington, you just need to be able to find the value.
If I offered you 6/4 about a coin spin, you would be a fool not to have a series of bets with me.
You would win in the long run with that edge.
Betfair operates more or less a with a 100% book, so the final odds are around 99.99% accurate, I have kept records of all my bets to prove this.
If you strike a bet and beat the BSP and therefore gain an edge, then in the long run you will win.
If you end up with a bad value bet, lower than the BSP, then unfortunately you will lose.
Secret is to get more good value bets that bad value bets.
Similar to black jack and card counting, go more in when the count is in your favour.

sounds really good but i,ll never be convinced. i,ll leave it all to her in the kitchen who seems to win all the christmas raffles, tombola everywhere and bingo even when i am not calling. i buy mine before or after her and get jack shit to her constant amusement. i peaked too early winning a toy rifle at the seaton fair when we had the last king on the throne.

Stocksfield if you could predict the moving of the Stock Markets you would have cleaned up.
Throughout US President Donald Trump's second term in office, traders have been betting millions of dollars just before he makes major announcements.
It found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public.
Today going by the past it will fall due to the announcement the Straits of Hormuz is closed again and the oil price will rise, unfortunately I don’t know how ‘shorting’ works.

TBH I didn’t know what it meant by shortening a stock, just googled it, not for me though.
Shorting a stock (short selling) is an investment strategy where you bet that a company's stock price will fall. You borrow shares from a broker, sell them at the current high price, and aim to buy them back later at a lower price, profiting from the difference while returning the borrowed shares
