4.30 Newton Abbot. Won More Night receives just over 2 stone from the odds on favourite today. Course and distance winner last time out winning by over 8l. Haven't looked at it to deeply but at 3/1, surely worth a small punt despite Trooper Clarences obvious credentials.

Last race at Punchestown Ri na Domhnaigh, a Jim Bolger horse with Mike Fogarty doing the steering and there's a few pound for it,6/4 at the minute from 5/2 hopefully go to 7/4 before the off!I'm having a go at it anyway in a single and in a trixie with Aran Concerto and Lilys angel!

What would a reverse forecast have paid on that?

I'm showing my ignorance here but can you give me a worked example to explain what the above means!

They are dividends.

So if you had £1 on you get £1 multiplied by the divided.

£1 x £5.64 = £5.64.

£5 would get you (£5 x £5.64) £28.20.

The CSF is what you get if you back a forecast in a normal bookies. The exacta is the Tote's version of the forecast that you can do online with them or in bookies on a wee card that have the Tote betting terminals.

so if i did a £5 reverse forecast it would cost me £10 with a return of £28.20??

[Don Johnson]

Yeah because when backing A and B a £5 RFC has £5 on A to beat B and £5 on B to beat A.

Though if you have a short priced favourite like Trooper Clarence in this case, a RFC might not be the best option as if the short favourite beats the second favourite then the dividend will be a lot less than the other way round.

Have seen people doing reverse forecasts with short priced favourites and when the favourite wins the forecast doesn't even pay enough to get their fulll stake back.

Was backed off the boards into favourite from about 12's that day and got placed,hard to know its intentions after that,i'd say the market could tell the tale!

[beer baron]
