Amie Waugh and, Three for a Tickle!

Sorry about yesterday! I was unable to save a file to the website through which I produce the podcast and that was me snookered.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen my Facebook post this morning but on Tuesday night, I saw a ride by Amie Waugh (hope I pronounced that correctly, Amie!), that was as good as you’ll ever see.
I have watched it back several times this morning and still cannot believe how Amie did it.
Entering the final furlong she had a wall of horses….and I mean, a wall of horses, in front of her, and she must have been booked for 10th at best....that had to be one of the most competitive Class 4 Handicaps I have seen in a long time, the first 14 home covered by less than five lengths. A screamer of a race!
Anyway, ROCK MELODY was travelling great, Amie had the proverbial double handful and it was going to come down to getting the breaks….and she got them....just!
Several around her were being hard driven and wobbling from side to side but, she kept her cool, kept her line straight, and with about 50 yards to go the horse on her left edged in, causing the horses head to back and left, but somehow still going forward. The gap came, she may have had to ever so slightly made the gap), and she flew….hands and heels, hit the front with a couple of yards to race and won by the cosiest of necks you will ever see.
I have seen comments on Facebook such as, “had that been Dettori, or Buick, or Loughnane, or Hollie Doyle”….or any “big name” jockey come to that, it would have been headline news, and up for ride of the season (I hope this is, because I’d vote for it).
Stunning it was and as cool a ride by any jockey, that you will ever see.
Sean Trivass and I will be discussing lady riders in tomorrow’s big podcast and you can bet your bottom dollar I will be waxing lyrical about Amie’s ride again.
The racing right now isn’t the best….but it’s midweek and we shouldn’t expect it to be.
I mentioned a couple of days ago the “seam” I’m currently mining, that being when we have three OMMS spotted in a single race.
Since I advised of this, I have seen additional successes, and we know have 10 winning bets from the 16 placed, a lovely 14/1 winner last night on the all-weather.
I do need to carry out much more by way of sampling, to see if this has legs across a season and will most likely create a Podcast just to discuss how much the markets have a bearing on the results of horse races right now….I’m finding it fascinating but then, I’m a bit of a stats nerd!
Like I say, the racing right now is “light”….I’m being kind to it….but I’ll again offer up three names you might like to write down for today.
I had one a couple of days ago I said was a morning mover….not strong but, that it might yet become strong….it ended up 2/1 favourite and bolted in.
Three for a Tickle then….
• GO ON ROSIE (Beverley 3-10)
• INVINCIBLE SONG (Chepstow 3-20)
• PEARL ABBEY (Chelmsford 6-40)
Play those how you like…your call.
I’m going to call that it for today as my chimney seep arrived a day early and I’m late sitting down to do this. Tomorrow….no solo Podcast as Sean and I get to have a good old chat about racing, then try to find you some winners for Saturday si good luck if you are getting involved and make sure you tune in tomorrow!
