BETDAQ TO THE RESCUE IN SOUTHWELL EXTRA: Southwell announced yesterday two extra AW meetings tomorrow and Sunday, Friday’s to be sponsored by BETDAQ, fresh from the exchange’s fantastic Kempton meeting only last Saturday, which was literally action-packed with Cheltenham Festival contenders.
PUNTER-FRIENDLY STABLES TO FOLLOW ON AW: Daqman sets the scene for the AW racing-rescue effort with his top trainers and jockey to follow in the days before the Jumps returns after the battle with the beast from the East.
AND……. THEY’RE OFF: The Beast From The East continues to cause havoc. There is NO RACING in the UK or Ireland today.
THE MAN FOR ALL SEASONS..
It’s 40 years since he started training. And 18 since he chalked up 1,000 winners. But David Elsworth, of Desert Orchid fame, can still find the equine flower in the wilderness. And they seem to gallop on, as he does, Flat, Jumps and AW.
Witness Master The World, Winter Derby winner last Saturday at the age of seven, in his fifth year now of winning races for ‘Elzy’ off a rating he’s maintained to within a few pounds since October, 2015.
That alone is an amazing training feat. Elsworth doesn’t just beat the handicapper, he plays him at his own game.
It’s generally recognised that horses run for him, not for the betting public. But statistics suggest otherwise, certainly on AW.
Elsworth currently has an excellent 26% strike rate (9-34) but his level-stakes profit is even more remarkable (+38), so punters are twice blessed by his consistency.
Wlliam Haggas is striking at 28% but short-priced favourites mean that he doesn’t pay to follow blind.
Conversely, but equally tricky, is Karl Burke’s massive 72-point profit, requiring you to back 117 starters (with 99 losers among them) to trap his 18 winners!
Jim Goldie is more reliable, and doesn’t need a huge bank: 16-60 winners for a profit of 33 points, according to the Racing Post stats.
But, if you can be patient and wait for his very selective rides, jockey James Doyle is the man to follow, with nine winners from only 22 mounts (41%), so giving you pause to devise a staking plan.
