Yesterday was one of the worst days overall for systems since the start of the year with only 3 winners found from 71 system qualifiers, they being Wiseguy who I at least put up at 20/1, Ilikedthewayyourthinkin, and the Kandoo Kid who I didn’t pick for the Coral Cup. In hindsight, putting up 2 Irish runners in the Coral Cup in a race they didn’t do so well in was a mistake and abandoning Nicholls after advising him for most of Friday as a profitable trainer to follow at Newbury. However, you will get poor days/weeks like that with systems. There is some good action at Fairyhouse today so I’ll look at the system qualifiers there.
Fairyhouse 1:05
MY IMMORTAL 5/1 for the Chase Damsire Grade 1 angle and 3m+ Chase Damsire system (both profitable) is preferred over Klarc Kent who also hits a Chase Damsire Grade1 and Outside The Door for the 3m+ Chase Damsire approach.
Fairyhouse 1:35
Two outsiders here with marginal preference being for an e/w poke on PLONTIER 33/1 who hits a Class Speed Hurdle sire angle over Tounsivator for the marginally profitable Hurdle Sire Grade 1 approach.
Fairyhouse 2:05
CROKE PARK 40/1 is another big-priced e/w bet for the Non Handicap Chase Damsire angle and Chase Damsire Grade 1 system, both profitable.
Fairyhouse 2:40
TEAHUPOO 6/5 probably the strongest qualifier today hits the hurdle sire grade 1 15-year and 5-year systems, and the hurdle damsire Grade 1 approach.
Fairyhouse 3:10
Quite a few qualifiers here. FRANKANDAEL 6/1 hits a Class Speed Hurdle Sire angle, while Volantis hits the Hurdle Damsire Grade1 approach but I’ll backup the selection with 2 e/w system qualifiers at big odds with LITTLE MIXUP 100/1 for the very profitable handicap hurdle sire angle and EFFERNOCK FIZZ 33/1 for the Class Speed Hurdle Sire angle
Outside of Fairyhouse, there are a few system qualifiers in the UK.
Leicester 12:10
FIRE DANCER 4/1 for handicap chase jockey system
Leicester 1:15
FORTUNEFAVOURSTHEBOLD 33/1 for 3m handicap chase sire angle.
Carlisle 1:25
ROBBY 18/1 for the trainer 5-year course angle.
Carlisle 1:55
Two here with COME ON TEDDY 7/1 looking the strongest for the 3m handicap chase sire angle along with a trainer change system and handicap chase system. An e/w for WASDELL DUNDALK 20/1 for the 3m handicap chase sire system.
Carlisle 3:00
HOLD THE NOTE 28/1 for the most profitable QT angle 3m+ Chase Sires with a secondary bet on CROAGH PATRICK 12/1 for the handicap chase jockey system.
Carlisle 3:00
DREAMING DIAMOND 22/1 for the handicap hurdle sire angle.
The last week as been the worst for me for years. Systems have been battered. Off to Lanzarote for most of Dec for hopefully some sun and relaxation.
Yeah it's been tough, I'm heading to Gran Canaria but not till end of Jan. Good win with CROKE Park at least!
