Pieros

If I reflect on my journey, I realize that horse racing gambling has been a lifelong passion for me. It all began when I was merely fourteen years old, though I must admit that success didn't always come easily. Learning the hard way, with the weight of my own money at stake, taught me valuable lessons that I carry with me to this day. However, my life took a significant turn when Betfair entered the scene. This remarkable internet platform opened doors for me, offering an opportunity to study and analyze the fluctuating odds in an entirely new way. I witnessed countless individuals laying horses rated at 12/1 on the course, hoping to make a quick twenty quid, only to face long-term consequences. Sadly, many of those impulsive heroes are no longer with us. After spending several years dedicated to studying and testing this revolutionary betting approach, I made a life-changing decision. I bid farewell to my position as a sales manager and fully embraced a life devoted to horse racing. Since then, I have been joyfully immersed in this extraordinary sport, managing to generate profits while becoming completely addicted to the thrill of making accurate predictions. When I back a winner, I can't help but celebrate loudly, eager to let everyone know that I was spot on. I have developed an aversion to backing short-priced favorites and consciously avoid placing bets on odds-on runners. Although, I must admit that I occasionally succumb to the temptation and back a favorite, only to feel a tinge of guilt or a sense of foolishness when it fails to deliver. Despite my many years of experience, I remain a perpetual learner, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and refine my strategies. In recent years, I have had the privilege of establishing connections with numerous racing yards, even coming close to owning racehorses. Yet, I have hesitated to take that leap of faith, missing out on some truly remarkable opportunities. My adoration for juveniles and their raw talent fuels my ambition, and I am determined to enter the market as an owner in the near future, driven by a burning desire to be a part of their incredible journeys. Horse racing has been my lifelong passion, and I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me. Every day, I am reminded of the vastness of this sport and the endless opportunities for growth and discovery. As I embark on this exciting path, I invite you to join me, sharing in the joy and anticipation that only horse racing can offer. Together, let us celebrate the triumphs, learn from the losses, and embrace the beauty of this remarkable world.

1st May 2025
03:00 MIN Timberwolves @ LA Lakers

LA Lakers

Money Line

100 WIN

1.44

Back it

Despite strong performances from Luka Don?i? and LeBron James, the Lakers came up just 3 points short in the last game and are now at risk of being knocked out of the playoffs, trailing 3-1 in the series. A better showing is expected at home, where they already recorded a 9-point win on April 23rd. I suspect Los Angeles will rise to the occasion, play the game of their lives, and get the better of Minnesota, surviving for another round.
15:00 Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians T20

Mumbai Indians

Win Match

100 WIN

1.57

Back it

I really enjoyed the way Mumbai played this term. They have a solid batting line-up and their bowling has been excellent, with Trent Boult and especially Jasprit Bumrah fully recovered from injury. I expect them to be very competitive again against a strong but still inconsistent Royals side.
15:05 3:05 Punchestown

Jasko Des Dames

Daily Racing

25 EW

9.00

Back it

At 8/1, I’ll be having an each-way bet on Jasko Des Dames, representing the in-form trainer Henry de Bromhead, who won this race in 2022 with Magic Daze. Jasko Des Dames scored on his chasing debut at Hexham, giving away plenty of weight to An Peann Dearg, who has since gone on to win twice. He made it 2/2 over fences with a comfortable victory here at Punchestown in November. He followed that up with a solid effort in defeat when carrying a penalty in a novice chase, then returned from a two-month break with a slightly rusty performance on ground softer than ideal. He made his handicap debut at the Cheltenham Festival off a mark of 131, which looked generous based on his autumn form. He shaped well for much of the Grand Annual, ultimately finishing a creditable fifth of 20, just a neck behind fourth. Still only six years old, he has plenty of improvement to come, and the handicapper has dropped him a further 2lb. With Henry de Bromhead’s horses often rejuvenated by spring ground, Jasko Des Dames looks to have a solid chance, especially with bookies offering six places.
16:15 4:15 Punchestown

Beckett Rock

Daily Racing

25 EW

19.00

Back it

Beckett Rock outran his big odds in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, staying on strongly in the closing stages to finish 6th of 26, beating home several more fancied rivals. A very lightly raced individual, he won on debut at Gowran Park, followed up with another success at Clonmel, and then improved again when stepped up in trip at Fairyhouse, finishing a creditable second under top weight, all right-handed tracks like Punchestown. His Coral Cup effort was a career best, and he’s been dropped 2lb since, which could prove lenient. The yard is in good form, and Rachael Blackmore takes over the ride. This is clearly a hot handicap, but Beckett Rock has shown he enjoys the hustle of a big-field race and at 18/1, with bookies paying six places, he looks well worth a small each-way play.

Jeriko Du Reponet

Daily Racing

50 WIN

9.50

Back it

Jeriko Du Reponet ran a rather strange race at Exeter and qualified for this Pertemps Final on a workable mark of 135. He was an exciting prospect last season, winning three out of four novice hurdles before losing his unbeaten record in the Supreme at this festival. Clearly highly regarded, he was sent off as odds-on favourite for all three wins, including a Grade 2 at Doncaster. However, he was pulled up here at Cheltenham when the Henderson stable was under a cloud. His chasing career didn’t work out, and he was sent back over hurdles, producing an ordinary effort in a Grade 3 at Newbury, finishing a 10-lengths 5th of 13. The decision to step him up in distance, having stayed on well in the closing stages of that Newbury race, brought some improvement. He went close at the festival bumping into an underestimated Doddiethegreat who was allowed to make a decisive move entering the straight. Despite a 4lb penalty, he looks still the classy individual in this contest and should go well again at around 17/2.
18:00 6:00 Punchestown

Jetara

Daily Racing

25 EW

10.00

Back it

I’m not particularly taken by the horses at the head of the market, so I’ll have a small each-way bet on Jetara at around 9/1. She has plenty to find on official ratings with the principals, but she ran a stormer when last seen at Aintree at a similar level, just fading into third in the closing stages, yet clearly staying the 3-mile trip well on spring ground. A smart mare, she landed both a Grade 3 and a Listed contest early last season around 2m4f, and has held her own consistently at Grade 1 level since, including against the geldings. Most notably, she was second to the red-hot Ballyburn here at Punchestown. She also has a Flat win to her name, a maiden victory at The Curragh, beating rivals now rated in the mid-80s. Since the application of new headgear, she’s shown improved form, settling better in her races. Once again, she's the only mare in the field, but receives a generous age allowance and represents a yard that has enjoyed plenty of success in these colours, notably with Jetson, who won this in 2014, and Jezki, who followed up the next year for JP McManus.

Jumby

Daily Racing

25 EW

12.00

Back it

There wasn’t much between today’s favourite and Jumby when they met last August here at Newmarket, and this time the latter is 5lb better off at the weights. Eve Johnson Houghton’s 7-year-old has been a consistent performer in competitive handicaps and should come on for his seasonal reappearance 16 days ago. He was slowly away that day, made stylish headway, but understandably tired late on. His regular partner William Buick keeps the ride and that continuity could prove valuable. At around 11/1, he looks a fair each-way shout for a place and is worth a small interest.
18:05 6:05 Punchestown

Belloccio

Daily Racing

25 EW

26.00

Back it

At extreme odds, it feels rude not to have a small each-way bet on Belloccio at around 25/1. He may have something to find on official ratings, but he has looked progressive over hurdles and brings solid staying credentials from the Flat, including a win over a long trip at Royal Ascot, where he is now rated 105. A dual-purpose performer for Willie Mullins, he finished like a rocket last time out to snatch third in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse, suggesting there is more to come. Already a course winner here at Punchestown, he stayed on strongly that day, and the booking of Rachael Blackmore adds further appeal. With the drying ground in his favour, he could easily outrun his odds.
18:40 6:40 Punchestown

Constitution Hill

Daily Racing

100 WIN

2.00

Back it

For the first time in my life, I’ll side with Constitution Hill, who will likely enjoy the smaller field. I’ve felt for him this season, losing his unbeaten record after returning from a serious injury and then taking heavy falls at both Cheltenham and Aintree. That last ride by Nico de Boinville was especially frustrating. He got caught in a pocket on the rail, was closed down, and had to slam on the brakes before switching wide. That move cost him ground and momentum, ultimately leading to the mistake. I believe he’s been ready to bounce back for some time, and with a more conventional ride, he should get the well-deserved success he’s been chasing.
