Beverley - in running tips

[JollyGreen]

If you know what to look for at Beverley it can prove very profitable but I know plenty of in-running punters who totally ignore what I have posted and simply try and buck the trend. They lose money but say they're unlucky and it's not like I say! Ho Hum!

Labyrinthitis - they don't know what mine is but they have ruled out Labyrinthitis, Vestibular Neuritis and Meniere's Disease. I am on a high dosage of Betahistine to help with my dizziness. Sadly my MRI scan showed up an abnormality so further investigation is required. I was just happy they found a brain

Are you allowed to drive? I am not permitted to drive or use any form of machinery!

Hi Jolly Green,
Sorry to hear about your state of health. I suffer from Meniere's Disease which involves dizziness, appalling nausea and terrible vomiting - it's a vestibular based disorder - but not much is known about how to cure it. I also have quite severe and persistent tinnitus.
I avoid salt and coffee - but salt is the main culprit. It might be useful to see if there is a Meniere's/Tinnitus/Vestibular Support Group in your local area and join up. I haven't had a bad attack of MD for some time now - but when I get it badly it takes days to get over it (the first really bad attack saw me in hospital!). I use medication called Stemzine to control the dreadful nausea that precedes each vomiting attack. This might sound a bit strange but you should also avoid placing yourself in situations in which you are looking at things like spiral staircases and other "optical tricks" - even watching a child on a swing or looking at escalators can bring on the dizziness. Just for the record I don't drink alcohol or smoke - I suspect you might avoid those as well.

I would be happy to send you some material from my MD Support Group if you think it might be useful.

At first they thought it was Vestibular neuritis and a mild chance it was Meniere's Disease. Then they thought Meniere's and ruled out Vestibular neuritis. I then saw a senior ENT consultant who said it not related to any ear problems as such! He said it seemed to be a brain related issue.

I then had an MRI scan and that confirmed his suspicions. I have an abnormal area in my left temporal lobe that needs further investigation. It is strange because motion, balance etc is controlled by the cerebellum and that appears normal on the scan. I am not sure I have ever been described as normal though!

I tried Stemetil and it didn't help, neither did Buccastem. I am now on a high dosage of Betahistine and I am not sure if that is helping or not!

You guys should head to the local casino. I know a guy who suffered from Meniere's and had an attack whilst at Crown Casino in Melbourne. He was assumed as intoxicated and dragged out by the bouncers despite the protestations of both himself and his mate that he suffered from a medical condition and hadn't had a drink.

The last I heard was the casino was trying to settle out of court and the guy's legal team were weighing up what the best course of action was to screw them royally...

JG - Hope it all works out for you OK - I haven't been brave enough to have a brain scan - bit worried about what they might find - or not find!!

Bobalski,

I guess you might be on to something there - I live in Melbourne and I wouldn't try it at Crown - one guy was killed by bouncers there about a year ago and the bouncers responsible were acquitted of all charges!!!

Well I am not trading but I just watched that 14:30 race over 7f and once again the leader grabbed that rail and led from start to finish!

[Zapata]

Yes, it had to happen. Five previous runs all from the front, then an increase in distance and drop in class and at Beverley. Thanks for the Beverley nod JG.

Hiya JollyGreen,

do you think this still applies. The meeting tomorrow may tell us all.

Great article.

I have not seen any changes so I would be surprised if it doesn't apply to the next meeting.

Nice post, I'm new to trading but I have an interest in the in running aspect, do you know any more course which have special characteristics to exploit or know of a site where this sort of info can be found?

[JollyGreen]

Hi benmunk, welcome to the forum.

You will not find this sort of information on a website, well it is highly unlikely. You need to know about the history of the courses which you get from a misspent youth like me or from studying race results and stats. If you choose the latter then you'll end up like me in the misspent category as it takes time.

One other course where backing front runners can work is Musselburgh. If a horse is leading at or around the 1f marker it regularly goes on to win the race. You can see this for yourself by simply looking at past results. The in running comment usually says "led early, made all" or "challenging 2f out went on, led 1f out, ran on" or "took lead 1f out ran on"

It is a course where you need to be close to the lead because it is very difficult to make up ground. It takes a very good horse to give up ground to a leader and then come through to win. If it is that good then why is it running at Musselburgh...I am sure you see the point!

Hi JG

Thanks for the feedback. Very good point about the horses needing to be very good to come from behind and obviously that doesn't usually correlate with running at Musselburgh.

i think will spend some time reading the in running comments on a morning hopefully i will be able to find some interesting patterns as well

thanks again
Ben

Thanks for the info chaps, it is nice to have a small edge to start with.
