Aintree Day Two Placepot
Aintree Day Two Placepot
I wasn’t able to cover stakes yesterday after Western Warhorse failed to place and the dividend came in a desperate £9.60.
The good news is that today will unequivocally be a higher dividend. The bad news is that that is because it is a fiendish sextet of races!
I’m banking on the favourite in the first leg, and will lay him for a place at around 2/5 to cover most of my placepot stakes. After that, it’ll be a white knuckle ride through five deeply competitive events. By the finish, those still standing will – I feel – certainly be looking at a payout in the hundreds (to a £1 stake) and quite possibly in the thousands.
So it’s a tilt at a big pot, as per the below. Note the presence of C selections in the last two legs. If we scrape through with a C pick, we need A selections to place in the other five legs.
2.00 / Leg 1
A – 6
2.30 / Leg 2
A – 4, 5
3.05 / Leg 3
A – 2, 6, 10
B – 3, 5
3.40 / Leg 4
A – 4, 15, 27, 28
B – 9, 29, 30
4.15 / Leg 5
A – 12
C – 2, 7, 8, 17
4.50 / Leg 6
A – 1, 17
B – 2, 6, 7
C – 4, 5, 9
This gives totals as follows:
A’s only: 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 1 x 2 = 48 bets
A’s and B’s: 1 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 5 = 350 bets
A’s, B’s and C’s: 1 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 5 x 8 = 2800 bets (!)
