Muggin the spotlight!

Question by Raceclubs/Getminted: What advice would you give to New Raceclubs/Getminted Members?

Answer by “Muggins Racing”: Patience. Far too often I read on the forums people expecting instant success or answers. It takes time. You have to study. You are not just given a degree at university, you have to work hard, and party hard to achieve that. Take the same approach to Getminted racing. Also, pick up good claimers, study and learn. Invest slowly and only what you are willing to lose. Make friends and learn. There are so many people out their willing to help but don't expect them to do it for you.

Setanic Killer - 8:24 - 48/1

Unless Im very much mistaken the bookies have got it wrong placing Setanic Killer at 48/1. A lover of Muddy going the 5 year old colt has picked up the majority of his 11 career wins on this type of going and if he gets a good start tonight in this 7 furlong sprint in the USA I fancy him to get a placed finish at the very least. With earnings in excess of £500 he has been in good form since the 8th of June winning once and being placed in two other races.A solid each way bet.

hooooolioooooo - 9:12 - 11/1

I'm not joking, this is actually the spelling of this horse from the MackemLad stable! This 2 year old colt has been very impressive so far though he would be a commentator's nightmare! A winner in 5 of his 20 races so far he's also pulled in 9 placed finishes and has progressed strongly since being bought on the 29th of April earning £266 up to now. Hooooolioooooo failed miserbaly in a WFA race for 2 to 7 year old colts on the 8th of June finishing back in 10th on fast going but since then has recorded two highly important wins on fast in C and B division races. He may now be ready to mount an assault at this level and should finish in the top three.

The King is dead - 9:48 - 13/1

Regular viewers to Getminted's live show would have noticed I'm a strong anti-royalist but thats not the reason I'm backing this 3 year old chestnut colt from the sdownie stable!!!! By the way happy 90th birthday to herself, it must be hard being Queen not having to pay tax and living off the state, poor thing!!! Anyway where was I, oh yes, the King is dead! In 33 races this impressive contender has registered 8 wins and 16 placed finishes. Recent form has been strong - he's won 2 of his last 5 races and was placed in 2 others. He was bought on boxing day last year and he'll have to fight hard to make it win number 9 so perhaps another placed finish is more likely.
