turnbacktime
After fifty plus years of learning I now make consistent profits from my horse race betting. I have had a break from listing on this site due to time restraints but will start to list tips again from 1/ 11 /25. There will be four selections a day for the competition they will be level stakes win bets, however if you want to follow along with my staking then the selections should be backed as a £1 pound win lucky 15 with a £1 ew acc each day so a stake of £17. I hope to hit a minimum of one L15 each month which should ensure a decent return when combined with all the consolation returns for one two or three winners. If you are going to follow along I recommend a starting bank of £200. Good luck.

Nice improvement from first to second start. Both runs were at big prices. In fact, she led in the final furlong last time before weakening into third, and that was after bolting at the start, which can't have helped her stamina. Any further improvement here gives her a real chance.

Promising debut on turf in August when third of four. The fourth won here at the beginning of the month. Not sure what to make of the second start here last month when he wouldn't have won but was short of room at a crucial stage before being eased. That debut run is the best form in this field, so worth another chance stepped up in trip today.
