Horseracing Practice 1 by Ficina To get in a bit of practice before the Derby next week, I've had a look at today's racing and like the look of Moody Tunes in the 4.10 at Haydock. Venus in Cancer is conj MC and the horse's Sun is trine the MC. I haven't checked out the other horses' charts which is sloppy I know, but the name seems to fit so well. My record on the horses over the past year has been abysmal, so please don't take this as a tip Quote Sat May 26, 2007 10:14 am
2 by Ficina The bad news is the horse lost. Didn't like the firm ground apparently. The good news is I didn't put any money on it. Quote Sun May 27, 2007 10:58 am
3 by Deb Thanks for the update. I was wondering how you went on with that. Quote Sun May 27, 2007 9:12 pm
4 by Ficina I'll follow it up with a success story. Not mine of course, but my friend backed two winners today, called Cockatoo and Storm Talk. Mercury in Gemini conj MC in the race charts, opp Pluto. Hopefully you'll all see the Pluto symbolism in Cockatoo Quote Sun May 27, 2007 9:59 pm
5 by Coffee Just looked at one horse in this race, but looks a good un. Lacework. 15:15 Redcar. Sun conjunct Mars, with a previous Sun-Sun and very wide Sun/Mars aspect on previous wins. Would take a guess at Aries rising. Haven't looked at the event chart, never do. Quote Mon May 28, 2007 11:40 am
6 by Coffee Feel free to sign upto my site where I post out tips on horse racing and any other sport. It also has my way of winning on the horses. But if you're a traditional astrologer, you may need to alter your perception a little. Quote Mon May 28, 2007 1:00 pm
7 by Ficina Good call, Coffee. I was listening to the race commentary and Lacework came through in a late burst to win the race Quote Mon May 28, 2007 2:19 pm
8 by Coffee Ahh good. Before I used to do it with Astrology, I specialised in horses leading all the way then tailing off towards the end. Not now! Best record I've had so far is 9 placed in a row, 3 were wins. To place, they have to come 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th - depending on how many horses and the type of race. See if I can get another....

9 by Coffee 17:30 Redcar Hatton Flight Having trouble trying to rectify this one, but settled with Leo rising. Capricorn on the 6th. Saturn trine Sun. 9th April 2004 If you're having a bet just do a little amount and go for the place. It's running in a couple of days again. Quote Mon May 28, 2007 3:18 pm
11 by Coffee No, I look at every horse in the race. Always start with the favourites as that's what the bookies think and they tend to know these things. It is thier business. Here's a little stat for you. You work out the averages of the number of winning favouites at any course, it should be around 33% Now is that just coincidence, or some excellent odds making by the bookmakers? I've got Hatton Flight as third favouite behind Parks Prodigy and Monets Lady. Using Racing Post as a guide. 1st winner was favourite. When looking through the horses, starting with the favorite, if I find one that fits, I'll pick it without looking at others. All depends on my rectification. Just like the 1st race.

12 by Ficina Ah, OK. I just wondered because you went for Authorised in the Derby. Also Oddschecker has Hatton Flight as the fave. Yes, the bookies generally win overall. 33% is definitely the average for winning faves. Good luck with the 5.30! Do you listen to the online commentary? Quote Mon May 28, 2007 4:03 pm
