Shumpty’s Punt: Saturday Racing Specials

The big racing today comes from Ascot with the Kingston Town Classic the main race.

Here are my tips for another solid day’s racing:

Ascot:

Race 8: Number 11 Ihtsahymn

Caulfield:

Race 1: Number 2 Lord of the Sky

Race 3: Number 3 You Can Dance (each way special)

Randwick:

Race 7: Number 11 Miniature

Doomben:

Race 4: Number 1 Missy Longstocking

Some of these runners are short priced but I can’t find anything better than them.

As always: good luck and good punting and please gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: Emirates Stakes Day

Emirates Stakes day brings to an end another wonderful week of racing at Flemington. Polanski’s success in the Derby aside, it has been a barren period on the punt for this blog. That being the case I am limiting my exposure this week and focusing on the big race only with one exception being a tip that think is a moral in Brisbane. No multi today for multi fans: am still poleaxed from the Dallas Stars (NHL) costing me a pay day twice in three days.

Flemington:

Race 7:

Best bet: Toydini (Number 4) (each way)
Best roughie: Solzhenitsyn (Number 1)

My cousin “Dangerous” Dave aka “Fat Guts” swooped in the last on Derby Day and picked up Smokin’ Joe at $46. I am not ignoring the tip again and will have a little each way wager here too.

Eagle Farm:

Race 6:

Have been following Tail and All from the Heathcote yard for some time and can find no reasons for it not to win today.

As always: good luck and good punting!

Shumpty’s Punt: Melbourne Cup 2013

It is time for the race that stops the nation tomorrow. Every year I say to myself that I am not going to bet on the Cup as I have always found tipping in this race akin to throwing a dart at a dart board. This year though I have followed the fortunes of one horse all the way to this race and thus I am confident to tip the horse is as the horse I think will be the winner. I have also come up with a “mega” boxed first four that I am quietly confident in.

Shumpty’s Melbourne Cup Tip: Foreteller (Number 7)

Shumpty’ Melbourne Cup Mega First 4

Dunaden (Number 1)
Sea Moon (Number 4)
Brown Panther (Number 5)
Fiorente (Number 6)
Foreteller (Number 7)
Dandino (Number 8)
Hawkspur (Number 18)
Simenon (Number 19)
Verema (Number 21)

Box them all up and you just might get a good return.

As always: good luck and good punting.
