DAQMAN on Thursday

Thursday 15 April DAQMAN? WIN MONEY TODAY WITHOUT HAVING A BET: Daqman says it’s notebooks out for a hatful of winners in the future and a lay in the 2,000 Guineas. But you have to watch two of today’s Newmarket races first. 6-1 TRIAL WINNER: He named Music Shop (won 6-1) to win the Nell Gwyn Stakes yesterday but was otherwise was out of luck. He has a nap today which, he says, will see some long faces if it’s beaten, and a first-race buzz ‘like a beehive in Newmarket High Street.” I don’t know whether I can tell you winners today but I can tell you winning bets for the future: lay the winner of today’s Craven Stakes (3.35) in the Guineas, and take as a series of bets losers in the Wood Ditton (2.25). It’s bad enough having to choose between three-year-olds that come with my own health warning (‘this is a new season; forget last year’s form’) but the market was no help yesterday: 6-1 Music Show? Those who weren’t put off by the price were in for a treat as she swept down the outside, after being given several lessons by Fallon: he held her up on the rail; he switched her round horses; he asked her to quicken; he drove her out. He certainly got to know what was under him, in the manner of Lester Piggott who used to pick and choose his Classic rides that way. But I can’t remember Lester ever being embarrassed at too many options

DAQMAN on Thursday

Thursday 8 April DAQMAN? DARING DAQMAN IN JACKPOT MOOD FOR AINTREE: Daqman dares three jackpot bets on the opening day at Aintree but is not in such a hurry as some to lay the short-priced favourites. 16 FESTIVAL LAYS IN A ROW: The man who laid 16 consecutive losing favourites at Cheltenham Festivals is planning five lays this week to bring his total to 500 since the column began. There’s one today, and he wants them all to count to maintain his overall strike-rate of 76%. 120 POINTS PROFIT: ? After a winning streak of 120 points profit from Easter week, Daqman marks your card for every Aintree race at the three-day meeting. Remember the invincibles at Cheltenham? Both got ‘beat’! Now, for Dunguib and Kauto Star at the Festival, we could read Big Buck’s and Imperial Commander at Aintree today. But it’s never that simple, is it, or the layers would all retire with fortunes as big as a banker’s bonus

DAQMAN on Saturday

Saturday 10 April DAQMAN? DAQMAN FINDS THE DRAMA IN THE NATIONAL: There’s a boys’-own story and a triumph over adversity all in one in Daqman’s Grand National winner, just the sort of drama the big race throws up year after year. HE’S DONE IT AGAIN WITH THREE HOT LAYS IN A ROW: Daqman is gunning for two more favourites, which will bring his total to 500 lays since the column began at an amazing 76% success rate. He has three in a row at Aintree this week: Sanctuaire (3rd 13-8), Menorah (2nd 7-4) and Forpadydeplasterer (2nd 4-1). Now, to cap his 500, he’s trying to dispose of joint favourites in the same race!? 9-1 WINNER FOR A PROFIT ON THE DAY: He made a profit on the second day at Aintree of 18 points, with six returns, including Wayward Prince (won 9-1). How to pick the Grand National winner? It’s easy: just try to spot a dramatic story in advance. It has one every year

DAQMAN on Wednesday

Wednesday 7 April DAQMAN? DAQMAN’S ABC SPECIAL ON THE NATIONAL: It’s easy as ABC with this unusual guide to the Grand National, based on the three main stats: that your horse should have some experience of the big fences at Aintree (A); he must have won at 3m or more (B) and he must be weighted between 10st 4lb and 11st. (C). So check out the runners like this: ABC: Has jumped the big National fences, won over 3m and has a winning weight. AC: Has jumped the big fences and has the right weight but has suspect stamina, with no wins at 3m or more. AB: Has jumped National fences and has won at 3m-plus, but is weighted out of it, according to past results. BC: This one’s a three-mile-plus winner with the right weight but no good experience of Aintree. B: He’s a three-mile-plus winner but no Aintree form and high in the weights.

DAQMAN on Tuesday

Tuesday 6 April DAQMAN? 44-1 GRAND NATIONAL OFFER: Daqman is in flying form and he starts his Aintree countdown today with a 45.0 Betdaq outsider for the National on Saturday. ? 10-1 WINNER FOR DAQMAN:? Betdaq’s resident tipster extraordinary started Grand National week with a big-priced winner yesterday, Admission (won 10-1), as part of his sixth winning day from the last seven. THREE NAPS AND TWO BANKERS UP: ? His maximum-stakes bet on Woodlark Island (won 4-9) was his second successive banker following Master Fiddle (won 11-10), added to three naps out of four at 2-1 (twice) and 13-8. 120 POINTS PROFIT: The run of success includes winners at 10-1, 8-1, 7-1, 5-1 (twice) and 4-1, and brings his profit in the seven racing days to marginally more than 120 points or £12,000 to £100 level stakes. ? TOMORROW: Don’t miss Daqman’s ABC Guide to the Grand National. It’s 50 years ago this week since a grey, Nicholas Silver, won the Grand National but my man in the long grass, peering through the seamrog, tells me that King Johns Castle is showing ‘the right signs’ again. No one has been sure until now whether injury-hit ‘King John’ would ever return to the form that saw him hunt up Comply Or Die at the business end of the 2008 race, finishing only four lengths adrift, giving weight and after being hampered. Paul Carberry, his 2008 jockey, is being reunited with ‘King John’ by his uncle, the veteran trainer Arthur Moore.
