Joseph O’Brien did win the King George V handicap yesterday, just not with the one I backed!
Today could be the big day for punters, with three short-priced, clear favourites in Sun Goddess, Venetian Sun and Precise. If they all go in, the bookies will have their tails between their legs.

Alas, it rarely works out that way and I’d be surprised if at least one of them didn’t get beaten, if not two.
Charles Darwin is a good example of how fickle betting can be at times.
He was favourite for the Commonwealth Cup, having won 4 on the bounce, including the Norfolk Stakes here last season.
In May he finished last of 8 and evidently wasn’t right. Yet he went out to 20/1 and despite being shorter than that now, he shouldn’t be double figures on the balance of what he’s shown over the past year. 14/1 is available at the moment and that will do for me.
Good luck, especially if you’re backing the shorties treble!

Betting all my adult life, firstly at the greyhound track where my dad was a trainer more recently horses.
A fan of systems based betting which I've been practicing and writing about since 2004 which was the last time I had a real job.
Yesterday's Telegram message was about Aidan O'Brien — back him blind at the Chester May Festival over recent years and you'd have made a level stakes profit across all his runners. Today's angle is another one from the Platinum archives, this time featuring Andrew Balding. Before the 2025 festival we advised backing all Balding runners…
No win for Flamborough Head yesterday but there was money for it and it took an early lead and hit 5/2 in running. If a horse starts at considerably shorter than the price I’ve taken I always see that as a positive sign, win or lose. You may disagree! Today I want to mention something…
A lot to tell you today so let's get straight into it. Geegeez Gold Somebody asked yesterday if I actually use Geegeez Gold 🤣 Of course I do and the fact is any selection I give in these mails is always researched on Geegeez before I dare commit to sending it to thousands of readers. If…
We've had a lot of questions in about Kieran's The Value Machine. I don't know all the answers, but I can tell you what I do. Firstly, price range. I set my account at minimum price Evens and maximum price 7/1. I know if I set it higher I would get more value bets, but…
I mentioned last week that for On Course Profits Platinum members that Sean Trivass shared a list of trainers that are profitable with their first time chasers. I'm going to start betting the selections and I'm going to bet them to place only. This idea was triggered by something that Paul Slattery told FormHorse Select…
Did you read Colin Magee's column in this months mag. He's a clever fella and sometimes it stretches my brain cells to follow along, but if you want angles to give you an edge, pay attention to Mr Magee. This month he is looking at horses that are trained for a distance, read the column…
