Highstrikers Last Minute Mail had a very good day, plenty of winners AND two otu of two for the HR2D Specials and the Villiers winner. The BOlter had just one selection for  a loss but still a very big year in 2018. The Hotshots, which had been unlucky for the month to date really took off with an $8.80 winner yesterday and good results Saturday with The Odyssey (I got $8.50) and Ice One ($3.80). Our Best Bet won yesterday and it was also a Hot Shot. Vicbet paid $2.25 on what ended up $1.90. All up I’m several thousand up for the weekend on small overall outlay. John Furgals SMS service scored three out of four over the weekend including $5 and $8 winners. The new Hotshots and Bolters SMS and email service was also in full flight.  Just by the way , if you’re reading this on the home page remember to click “read more” as this formats the info which is helpful when we put in tables of results etc. I popped up a short video on YouTube of yesterdays storm which reminded me of those old North Sea shots in World War 2 movies with the battleships heading towards Scapa Flow. Anyhow, a good weekend and today Ros and I are off for Physio and we are discussing a great new promotion with Vicbet which continues to draw praise from our regular punting members, especially our retired Members who need every extra cent they can get, although with what must be close to 65% t 70% strike rate with our Daily Feature Races, they don’t have too much to worry about, just hope I havent put the “mocka” om myself or David woth our choices this week.

Woodmans Keep has never missed a place at this distance PLUS a serious jockey upgrade to a top Perth Metro jockey in Peter Knuckey culd make the dofference and @ $17 curentkly is a great each way prospect. Raging favorite Abu Dhabi has only 3 wins  in 31 starts but resumes here after a career in Adelaide, so stronger company than provincial WA. Whether he can win first up over the 1400 for his new trainer remains to be seen but it qualifies as a C Plan race and the horse did win a trial by nearly 6lengths here last week.

Ducth the top two, maybe back Woodmans Keep for a place @ $3.50 at present.

I spend the most time each day looking for the best likely outcome on the day. With wet tracks likely yesterday I stuck to the Good track at Geraldton and the Benchmark 70 was about the best class race on the day anyway. Ive had too many emails and texts back to publish them but Peter from Melbourne, an otherwise bereaved Demons supporter, got some cheer back with the Exacta 4 times, a return of around $700.

Will I score again today? I hope so. If we don’t it wont be for the lack of trying. Our new subscribers this week should have got their annual investment back in full in just their first week. Have a good day today.

Yesterdays $6.5 winner when we rcommended the top two was a great result and we did nail the Quinella but at $13.50 no big deal. The Trifecta was a miss with an 8yo spoiling the party. It was on the back of some great Daily Feature Race results. Personally I spent a great deal of time looking at three races before deciding on the winning one. Bottom line. We would have won no matter which race I chose. With our Horse Racing Today top two costing just $44 a month or $495 for the year and including our Daily Feature Race PLUS the daily Winform Best Bets PLUS the Weekend Feature race which has resulted in sometimes massive winners Quinellas Trifectas and even First Fours , it is the best punting value in history. Are ypu gping to win backing every single one of the HR2D Top Two? No, of course not, but it does produce the winner in 44% of all Australian gallops races covered by the TAB. That’s a huge head start! All up HR2D Top Two covers the lot for less than $1.50 per day! Magic!

I had to decide what race to make the Daily Feature last night . I looked at Moonee Valley race 8 and race 6. I chose race 6 where we did find the winner in our top 5 but no Quinella and that was the recommendation. In Race 8, our Pre,ium selection ran 3rd but that was enough to get us the Quinella and Trifecta at $156/20 for the Quinella and $731 for the Trifecta. In Race 6, what I feared might happen did happen and that was a fast first 600 with Bolek leading (and getting run over) and Rox The Castle clearing out after running 2nd to the turn. As I said “watch the market” and with Rox The Castle firming immediately bettting opened it was obvious it was the one. Today we had plans for a run with our Gold Club horse at Rosehill but it all came apart when we failed to get a run . He was top rated by Winform. Everyhting else was on target with a soft barrier draw and the preferred Good track and the right distance. Back to the drawing board. Have a good day today and yes, there was no E News this week. You should think about suggesting to your “other” the holidays might prove a valuable time to read some of our punting books. This is the last week for guaranteed delivery of hard copy books but the Ebook Pass @ $295 gives you the lot.

Okay, its all done by 8.30, that’s because there are no daylight saving delayed scratchings etc so it should be a good day, however with only two meetings you can have a brilliant day or a very poor one. It would be nothing to have a losing run of 18 races so in theory, you could get no winners at all on a day. Food for thought?

Here are the HR2D Top Two for today. I want to see if the format comes out right but for you, if it does you will have pressed the read more button at the bottom of the article on the front page.

The way to win with these is to back any that are favourite to get the best strike rate, about 10% better than favourites in general so expect at least 36% and 70% placed. But only if faVOURITE. Let;s hope for a good day. It only costs you $44 a month or $22 a fortnight, easy for your budget.
