Welcome to MarkYourCard for racing on Friday
Another winner yesterday, J Street. Advised at 5.5.
That is three winners in the last three days at odds of 10.0, 11.0 and 5.5.
9 bets total, 3 wins. I’ll take it.
Drops In Class
8.45 Newmarket - Ancient Times @ 41.0 - 5 places 1/5th
On the surface might seem like a no-hope runner, however when we start digging below the surface, we may be taking a shot at one with a chance at a price.
The horse is 7 from 41, which is a pretty good record. 8 yo now, so likely past his best, and most of those wins have been on artificial surface …. however, this ia a class 5, 6f turf race.
When running in class 5 races, the horse is 4 from 15.
In the last 12 months when running on the turf in class 5 handicap races, he has won two and been second twice, both times beaten less than a length. those were all from marks of 68, 71, 71 and 73. Tomorrow he runs from a mark of 68.
He has been off track for 197 days, when running after a break of more than 120 days, he has 5 runs and two wins.
Just 3 runs ao was only beaten 1.1l at Catterick in a class 4 from a mark of 72.
I think this one should be priced closer to 12’s rather than 40/1.
