Well, that was a load of rubbish...

Four tips, four complete failures. Ah well, the only way is up from here. I managed to watch a couple of the races on TV. My tip of the week, Heavy Metal, and another tip, Nazreef, both looked strong in their respective races, with Nazreef leading for most of the race. However, in the final couple of furlongs, it soon became apparent that they had already reached their top gear, whereas the other horses had a few more to go through. It's amazing to watch a horse that you know is going forwards appear to be going backwards!
Heavy Metal caused a bit of excitement in the betting, starting at 10/1, then coming in quickly to end up with an SP of 5/1. The Channel 4 presenter reported one punter putting £500 on it - hope he hadn't used my blog to choose it!
The bookies weren't troubled by Thunderstruck or Stevie Thunder either.
However, my wife used my Metal Mayhem Madness Method (MMMM), as I've now called it, to choose a horse in the 2.45 at Meydan, in Dubai. She placed an each way bet on Joshua Tree at 16/1, as it shares the name with an album by U2. It came in 2nd, so she actually won money using my MMMM, whereas I didn't!
Still, it proves that the MMMM works... sort of.
More tips later in the week for the Easter weekend.

I like the thought of backwards horse racing- could be a new extreme sport. Andy
