      Agreed completely with what he said yesterday about betting on Ronan McNally, Charles Byrnes etc and the shiskin situation.
      I can just never get passed the fact that Keenan has the voice of a man 40 years older than him

      • UTA is a fine watch, and occasionally GL comes out with useful nuggets worth watching for. Other than that though i think a lot of his betting is muggy and DJ's seems a very emotional bettor who gets attached and can't let go.

          You used to be able to play DJ bingo on the old racing post YouTube podcast

          Hed put the same horses up everytime he was on

          He had about 20 different cliff horses

          Hes not quite as forgiving these days

            But they are putting up horses where the prices are just rubbish. Gavin Lynch is significantly better than the tips he's putting up. He needs to be a little bit more creative than Buzz at 8/1 which is just rubbish four months out when there's 21 markets to go at.

              What I don't get is that he tipped Buzz at 20/1 in his Chelts antepost RP column before Buzz won LTO. So why didn't he put him up then?

                  Looks like they are picking horses with confirmed targets. The bigger prices available are mostly on horses with multiple options.

                    He also put up American mike in the column at 16s then 11/2 on the show

                      I fear you may be right.

                        You suggest Gavin Lynch’s ‘tips’ are muggy, but even if this were to be true, let’s not be naive in any way - most of his betting for the festival is in all likelihood done a long time in advance of Upping the Ante even being advertised.

                        If we’re taking the 16’s on Kilcruit, American Mike etc as examples months in advance, I can only imagine he’ll be doing very much the same.

                          He might well be, he might not be, the way he words things on the show suggests he's taken some at shorter prices.

                          If he's taken a bigger price earlier, i'm not exactly sure putting up horses much shorter makes sense!?

                          Either way the way his approach comes across is rather muggy to me, and by the sounds of it so is his daily punting- fair enough though each to their own....Maybe this is GL's lurker account?

                            I don't see him as muggy at all. He obviously goes through things in immense detail and knows his stuff but, like others have said, some of the selections are slightly baffling.

                            ​​​​​​Long may he continue to put up average selections. It saves the price on the ones that may be slightly more obvious

                            • Seeing as I get a notification in this 'old 'thread every time someone comments, I'll have my say.

                              Gavin is obviously no mug. His selections look solid enough. They are almost professional like.
                              Granted one or two may not be shorter on the day, but you could easily argue they all could be also.
                              This is not book building and will almost certainly only be 1 per race, aside from the odd race maybe.
                              Like someone else mentioned. He seems to be going for the ones that have set targets and will be there or thereabouts, based on connections and prep races etc.
                              You got to be in it to win it.
                              So for your average punter who likes to follow a tipster then his selections are fine.
                              He was actually unlucky last year and had several close calls.

                              • DJ's pick of CPS is looking awful now.

                                Who will they pick this week?
