My Kempton Bumper – Standard Grip 3.0

I was on cloud nine after the racing at Thurles yesterday when Shootin The Breeze (Andrew J McNamara, 20-1 ) & Mini Vic (D J Bates, 11-2 ) went in for the blog.

The story of the afternoon was the win for Miss E.A Lawlor on Carrigeen Lechuga (10/1). The horse was well fancied by a friend on Twitter last time out when they advised me to follow it and it ran a creditable third. If it hadn’t of been for a chance read of my timeline I would have completely missed it as I noticed a prompt had gone out to some other people on Twitter. Alarm bells rang in my head, I better get on that again I thought. On Betfair the horse had drifted from 6/1 to 16/1, it was almost the off time so I took the 16′s. The race set off and the selection was nearly brought down and was in rear early. Our friend Hoz from Cambridge at that time managed to get £5 on @50/1 at this early stage of proceedings. To cut a long story short the horse worked its way into the race and won nicely in the end. The moral of the story- always keep your eyes peeled and your reminders in NagMe :D

Some would say it’s probably madness to have any financial interest in the N.H bumper racing at Kempton today, however it is quite a unique state of affairs and I’m sure there are some little gems of value to be found. Here are some of my fancies at Kempton:

2.05 Kemp- Fire Chief & Offbeat Safaris (e/w).

2.40 Kemp- Gores Island (e/w).

3.15 Kemp- Kasbadali (e/w).

3.50 Kemp- Glorious Twelfth & Prize Poppy (e/w).

4.25 Kemp- Tuscan Gold & Zennor (e/w).

4.55 Kemp- Megastar (e/w).

5.25 Kemp- Milgen Bay (e/w).

Hope you pull a few winners today! ;-)
