Almost a blockbuster start on Saturday when Lady Jinks, priced at 1000, almost won the first race at Chepstow.<\/p>\n

If I make something on a race, I’ll often put a little on the outsiders, generally in the jumps season, in the hope of catching\u00a0 a big one. In this race Lady Jinks put in a great show and surprised everybody by shortening to as little as 5’s before fluffing the last fence. It was agonising to watch as she just fell short of overhauling 11\/8 favourite Tito Bustillo, it was a very close call. The bookies had her priced up at 200\/1.<\/p>\n

If you want to have a pop at catching a big outsider do the following. Set up Bet Angel to back a horse at 1000 with offsetting set at 140, use ‘with greening’ and if you are doing this before the race, turn the bet into a Keep bet. Make sure you check your stake, you don’t want to dump a load of money on this horse, it’s better if you use the minimum stake of \u00a32. With that set up, you could turn that \u00a32 stake into \u00a3200 if it shortens to 10’s in running. Of course, your skill now switches to trying to find at least 1 in 100 races where this could happen. If you can, you will be profitable in the long term.<\/p>\n
