259 bets since December. 11.9% of them win. So nearly nine in ten lose. Average price is 25/1 though, so it lands at +£1,227 to £10 level stakes. Every one posted before the off, every result logged, grim months and all.

Shergar Cup Saturday. Twelve jockeys, most of whom don't ride Ascot week in week out, on a track that punishes anyone who reads the pace wrong. Worth knowing before you bet it: Ascot's pace bias is trip-specific. Hold-up horses do the damage over 7f and the straight mile. Over 5f, and on the round course, it reverses — get to the front and stay there. Anyone who tells you Ascot is simply a hold-up track has read one study and applied it to a different racecourse.

July is, painfully, reviewed. A cost of 29.1 points and a bruised ego. One winner from 30 bets. 13-bet straight losing run. Nothing finished within a length of a winner until the 27th. Other than that, it went well. formdial.com/redial-july-202…

Daily Dial #123 – One Bet at Chepstow A quiet day, but one gets the big plus I was looking for — a marked upgrade in the saddle. Another stab at taking on an odds-on favourite with a distinctly lacking record. 15:50 Chepstow, 13/2. formdial.com/daily-dial-123-…

The one person keeping the books on your betting is the one witness guaranteed to be biased: you. Gut feel is the most expensive habit in racing. Here's what happened when I checked my own record 👇 formdial.com/on-the-record-t…
