MAN WITH THE WINNING STREAK: Month after month, expect a winning streak from Daqman. After 18 consecutive naps in the frame in December, our man has had 15 out of 20 bets placed (best result per race) – 12 of them wins – between the 2.20 Market Rasen on Friday and the 4.20 Kempton Park yesterday – 11311111100111010230. – containing eight winning trebles and two accumulators.
THE NAP RUNS AT WETHERBY: Yes, says Daqman’s critic, but some of those winners were odds on. The answer, says our man, is Daq Multiples. But much more than that, as he discusses in today’s article. His nap is running at Wetherby. And there are more Daq Multiples, of course.
ROLL UP, ROLL UP FOR MORE MULTIPLES
What would we do without Daq Multiples? They’re a godsend when there are so many odds-on shots winning. As long as you back them in the right races.
That sounds like begging the question, or after-timing, when the odds-on favourites have just been winning a string of races.
But, in fact, I’ve proved year on year that there’s a difference between short-priced horses: what class of race they’re in. Stick to the quality animal.
That doesn’t mean your wallet has to go into mothballs until Cheltenham. Yes, it’s the premier league of jumps racing but, as we saw at the weekend, you can get plenty of kicks at the run-up meetings, and see most of the Cheltenham winners already!
If you think the deluge of Irish winners is over until then, I can promise you I’ll be looking to add to my eight winning trebles and brace of accumulators in more multiple bets on February 6.
That’s the Irish Gold Cup meeting at Leopardstown, which also puts on the Deloitte Hurdle, and a novice chase and novice hurdle, both at Grade-1 level (yes, ok, yet more Cheltenham hints, as if we need any more from the Irish). So four Grade 1s on one card.
Ireland – owners, trainers and jockeys – is not only winning the races; it’s constantly winning the battle for quality horses and quality racing generally.
The Irish Gold Cup, incidentally, is the old Hennessy. At last we’ve lost the clash of names.
Back to the question: what would you do without Daq Multiples? Well, they’re here to stay, and here to win you more money than a single odds-on shot could.
The question only arises when you are attempting roll-ups over a period of time or following a horse in a sequence of races.
That’s the time to remember that doubles are actually when you take the winnings and stake from one horse and put it all on to another.
Surely we know that, says The Critic! Yes, but we forget; we tend to think of it as one bet.
So, if you wanted to bet sequence horses, or odds on in a sequence of races, you could set aside a special wallet for them. I call them gold and diamond bankers, remember! I’ll be talking more about them next week.
This Saturday features the Great Yorkshire at Doncaster and sandwiched between Leopardstown and Cheltenham is the big Newbury Hurdle meeting and the Sandown Imperial Cup card. So plenty of handicaps, too.
WHAT’S THE BEST BET TODAY? NO COMMENT
Are these winning form ‘figures’: PPP? Nicky Richards is quietly going about the business of another good run. His totals dropped after the heady years of 2004-9 but he was back with 49 last season and is again striking at better than 20% with 28 already this term.
Richards’ runners currently record 312110, still standing, and he will have done his utmost to get the four-time sequence winner, Tutchec, back to form.
He was PPP, pulled up three times in a row and cried enough 317 days ago, but would be odds on here at his best, or even only close to his best.
Tutchec (4.8 offers in the 2.20) is probably ‘a thinker’ and the essential when you get such a horse right is to pop him into a race with a fairly easy winning chance before he starts ‘remembering’ the pressure and the pain.
There’s a precedent for backing Tutchec. He lost his form in 2013 but returned after a holiday, with a gambled-on success first run back, and went on to score twice in heavy ground, completing the four-timer off a rating within a pound of today’s mark.
No Comment (4.00) is a nap worth waiting for. Has obviously thrived on his bumper second to be a confident traveller today. he is 2.7 likely to add to Philip Hobbs’ three from seven on this course. Hobbs is 030311321120 in three day’s racing!
Whatever No Comment does is a bonus at 2m, since he’s by stamina-potent Kayf Tara and could go on to better things. I can back him today at the minimum trip over hurdles, since his bumper form was at 1m 6f.
The Kayf Tara DNA in Kayf Charmer (4.10 Leicester) suggests that 10.5 is too big , so a decent win-and-place bet.
The mare was runner-up first time after a change of stables but then, dropped back to the minimum, failed to go on from there. But then she would, would’nt she, since she needs anything up to 3m and this step back up in trip should suit.
