Wow 100 followers! Thanks for the support everyone! Hopefully I can pay you all back today. Small fields and a soft track are going to make things interesting though. https://t.co/5mO7GEj7We
From now on I’ll be post my tips on The Velvet Court’s twitter page, so please follow it if you would still like to receive weekly horse racing tips. Thanks!
Something a little exciting is happening today, I’ve started my own blog! It’s very basic at the moment and the layout needs some work but I’m excited to launch The Velvet Court today with my first in depth preview of all races at Belmont today. https://t.co/3Rkpb9x8Bo
With The Velvet King running today, it’s probably a good time to tell you all that Mimi isn’t my real name, I’m Amy Evans. I started under pseudonym because I wasn’t confident in my tipping and didn’t want to pressure of writing under my name. However I’ve gotten more confident.
I wanted to be honest today because as an owner I have my superstitions and not tipping my horse to win is one of them. I’m however under no illusion that this is a very winnable racing for The Velvet King. Fingers crossed for a good race!
Confidence rating today: not too bad, interested to see how the soft track plays out. Definitely some even races today.
Threats:
2: Flower of War & Forgotten Star
3: Inflation
4: Settlers Creek
6: Rebel King
7: Eye Art & Make Mine Champers
8: The Velvet King
Confidence rating today: Not too bad, with a mixture of clear favourites and outsiders. Gone for value in race 7.
Threats:
1: Miss Ellyma & Gotta Motor
6: Gatting & Vital Silver
7: Don’t Fuss & Stageman
8: Superior Smile, Universal Mae (value) & Leading Girl (biggest worry)
Confidence rating today: 😅 as low as last week so let’s see what the day brings

6:Unending(value)

For someone who lacked confidence going into today, I’m pretty proud of my results; 3 wins, 2 seconds, 2 thirds (one didn’t payout though) and a fourth. Winnings would have been $24.50 with an outlay of $18 ($1 e/w and $2 e/w on my bb).
Confidence rating today: one of the lowest days I’ve had. Biggest worry is races 6 & 7.
Threats:
1: Mini Winnie (very open race)
2: Langley
3: Come Play with Me
4: Playing Marika & True Attraction
5: Sophie’s Song, Patristic & Settlers Creek
6: Don’t Fuss
