TRY THIS RATIONALE... (yet again...)
Sunday, January 29, 2012 @ 8:57 am"...at Sandown two West Aussie four year olds, Pago Rock and Like and Eagle, had not even a struck match between them. However the Moody-trained Pago Rock has the advantage of three local runs. We also note that our current darling, Power O'Raylee, is in at the Valley at 9.15 on Friday evening.
That's what everyone read. Check the results for yourself and make your own judgement.
THEY ALL WON!
Sunday, January 22, 2012 @ 7:35 amOn Friday, for Saturday, this was posted online and sent out to members who prefer emails:
Best Bet: Brisbane Race 6 - TAB No. 9 (Tomboy) WON $2.50
Best Each Way: Melbourne Race 2 - TAB No. 8 (Total Attraction) WON $5.00
Best Longshot: Melbourne Race 4 - TAB No. 7 (Royal Mail) WON $3.60
Total Attraction also beat second top rating SILENT ATTITUDE ($18) 2nd.
Royal Mail's next best was PERSIAN STAR ($8) 3rd.
PROST, second rated to Tomboy, ran 3rd at $8.
This is the best system I've ever seen for consistency (~ The Optimist) .
Raylee wins again for us.
Sunday, January 15, 2012 @ 6:55 am"... in the last race Mythical got quite near likely (and justifiable) favourite Power O'Raylee, which has been very good to us. A fair price about Power O'Raylee would be hard to resist. Mythical lost her plate during her last race."
Power O'Raylee won easily ($3,20 best) after a clever ride by the premier jockey. They ran 1-2 and using an AB Trifecta the return would have been over $300 in their home state.
Second top Two Year Old rating (one point) Driefontein won the big one after a protest. Top rating Amorino might have won with a better start - ran a great race under the hopeless circumstances.
We boxed the Three Year Old Magic Millions Trifecta in the four top ratings and it paid in excess of $500.
SEVENS? Yes and Better!
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 @ 7:17 amThe Rationale named TOTAL ATTRACTION WON (easily) at $8.00 at Caulfield. Only three horses were named in the day.
The horse was available at $8.50 and even $9.00 for a time in betting activity.
We're on track for 2012, no worries!
How to Finish a Year.
Monday, January 2, 2012 @ 12:00 pmOur BEST BET NEW DAY RISING WON $4.30.
It was no fewer than EIGHT ratings points clear of its field - a very rare thing.
And our BEST EACH WAY was lipped on the line at $7.00.
And THAT'S how we finished the year.
STILL THEY COME!
Thursday, December 29, 2011 @ 12:54 pmPOWER O' RAYLEE BEST BET WINS $6.50
Slaughtered her opponents.
MY DESTINY BEST EACH WAY WINS $5.00
How did we ever get that price?
It just goes on and on... We wished members Merry Christmas...
Members had a lovely Christmas...
A VERY GOOD YEAR!
Tuesday, December 13, 2011 @ 7:35 amA VERY GOOD YEAR.
As we head towards the end of the year, it's good to be able to look back, as Buccaneers, on a whole series of BIG WINS.
Not many other methods can boast this (they might say it, but where can you find their results? - The Buccaneer's selections stay online permanently, so you can go back and look any time).
Let's hope for one more* BIG SUCCESS this year, to put yet more icing on the cake!
(* well, two big ones would be even better, but we're not greedy...)
PLAYING GOD WINS FOR EVERYONE AT $19, AND WE HIT A FIRST FOUR OF $9000.
Sunday, December 4, 2011 @ 5:59 amPLAYING GOD WINS FOR EVERYONE AT $19, AND WE HIT A FIRST FOUR OF $9000.
Here's what the Rationale said, exactly, word for word:
In the Group One event at Ascot the Buccaneer found Playing God to be a decent chance of repeating, hence he's the longshot for today. He was on top with 20, from Luckygray and King Saul both on 19, and Ranger on 18.
The Quinella paid around $50 and the Exacta $100.
The Trifecta was in excess of $300.
In the four rated races, second rated HER DIAMOND ROCK WON $12, WONDERFUL LASS WON $12 and was rated in Brisbane, along with the Trifecta at more than $120.
And in the final race at Rosehill the Quinella paid $50, the Exacta $80, the Trifecta $360 and the First Four paid a whopping $9000 and more.
Buccaneers have their Christmas Bonuses in their banks right now!
ANOTHER BIG WINNER FOR THE BUCCANEER.
Sunday, November 6, 2011 @ 6:46 amWe got $6 (amazing!) and online we could even get $6.50 for HE'S REMARKABLE, our named best each way bet of the day.
We posted this exact message:
If He's Remarkable runs here there's a decent each way bet available.
Three in the first four (four horses rated) for the Emirates was pretty nifty too.
TWO HIGHLY RATED GOOD WINNERS AGAIN
Sunday, October 30, 2011 @ 7:13 amTop rating SISTER MADLY won $4.00 and second top rating NIWOT (one point below top) won $9.00 gave Buccaneer followers plenty of satisfaction on Saturday.
THEFT won for the Rationale, maintaining its successful rate of win selections.
There will be a special Buccaneer for the Melbourne Cup, and it will appear online as soon as possible on Monday.
