Goodwood Review

Week review 3^rd August 2019

What a frantic week Goodwood ended up being, some great days and some not so great days all clouded in a haze of alcohol. An overall a profit of just over £500 despite a few highs and lows.

There’s just too much to give a review in detail so I’ll summarise with a resume of each tipster performance.

I’ll be aiming to provide weekly individual tipster performances from now onwards, but for now it’s just the on-going profits.

Northern Monkey  

A good set of results from Wayne with the highlights being three winners from Galway including Waitingfortheday, Mr Adjudicator and Saltonstall. Results from Goodwood were a bit frustrating, with his usual strong suit of sprinters underperforming. However, you can’t complain with a healthy profit. (+£1649.50)

 Ben Linfoot

Given the nature of the high prices which Ben tips at there will be losing runs and alas Goodwood wasn’t the greatest. There were 17 tips over the 5 days, with one winner Beat Le Bon, and a 33/1 second with Seinsational. (-£294)

Scottish Football Bets

Scottish Football Bets is run by Greg Gordon, and is exactly as described, a service which provides bets predominantly based upon Scottish Football, although he does occasionally dabble in other leagues.

It’s been a slow start to the season with the preseason/Scottish league cup matches, but with the league starting, results certainly picked up last weekend and put the service into profit. A notable winner, being a strong single on Cove Rangers, who eased to a 5-0 victory. Bets are a mixture of singles, and doubles and include Asian handicap and total goals markets.

It wasn’t the greatest day on the horses on Saturday but SFB had 5 winners out of 6 to ease the pain and plug the gaps. (+£93)

Handicap Snip

A terrible week for Handicap snip, who had 9 bets without a single place being achieved. Let’s just hope that Rick can turn things around or it may end up being a case of the service being cancelled. (-£1070)

Betting Emporium by Neil Channing

This service only covers the big festivals such as Cheltenham, Ascot and Goodwood but is really high volume with sometimes several each way bets in the big handicaps which tend to be Neil’s forte.

Despite a poor start on the first day (Tuesday) this service proved to be the star of the Goodwood show. Highlights included having a one, two in the concluding sprint on the Wednesday, which was much enjoyed in the local with a pint of Guinness, and Beat Le Bon in the Mile Handicap. The good thing about this service is that the winners were accompanied by a decent number of each way placers which keeps the bank balance ticking along.

I’ll certainly be looking to join his next festival special which will cover the York Ebor Meeting later this month. (+£912.50)
