Is Red A Winning Name?
If I was fortunate enough to own my own race horse I think I would do worse than to give him a name that contained ‘Red’ within it! Why you may ask? There was after all only one Red Rum, and as renowned as he is, there is unlikely to be another like him – he truly was one in a million. But there are other Reds who have also done well.
Red Splash was the first ever horse to win the Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup in 1924, even though he was not even yet the modern day prerequisite five years old. Aside from his jumping, which was considered to be extraordinarily good, he was admired for staying on so resolutely, given that he was sharply tackled by Conjuror II on the tiring bit of rising ground that tends to defeat a lot of Gold Cup competitors. Unfortunately his success of 1924 was never to be repeated and even though there were grand hopes for him with the National, it was never to be.
Another Red that did well was Red Alligator, who was the comfortable winner of the 1968 Grand National, winning by twenty lengths just as his half-brother Anglo had done two years beforehand. In winning, Red Alligator provided the first of three National-winning rides for his twenty year old jockey Brian Fletcher. Red Alligator was bred by William Kennedy near Downpatrick in Northern Ireland. Sired by Magic Red, he was out of Miss Alligator who had finished sixth in the 1949 Oaks and still had been sold for only seventy guineas at the Dublin sales in 1952. Miss Alligator became only the second mare to produce two Grand National winners, the first of which was Miss Batty, dam of Emblem and Emblematic. Unfortunately for Mr Kennedy he made no profit from breeding two National winners – he sold Anglo for £140 when he was still a foal and sold Red Alligator at the yearling sales for 340 guineas. Eventually trained by Denys Smith, it was soon realised that Red Alligator was both a sound steeplechase jumper and stayer, which was clear to see in the 1967 National, where after a mass disaster at the twenty-third, he was put back three times at the fence before giving chase so well that he finished third. Red Alligator won eleven chases but saddled with an extra thirteen pounds following his glorious 1968 Grand National victory, he never came close to winning the race again.
Red Marauder was another Red to win the National, a 33-1 shot who was one of only four of forty runners to complete the course, two of those having been remounted. His rider, Richard Guest, afterwards stated that he was ‘probably the worst jumper ever to win a National’. This may well have been true as prior to the race the Jockey Clubs safety panel put him under extensive scrutiny, and he only won acceptance to the race on a casting vote – see, there just might be something in the name Red!!
Practice With the Right Lottery System Wins the Lottery Game
“Practice” is one of the important determining factors for success – at least according to the book “Outliers: The Story of Success”. According to the author, to be successful, one needs to practise his/her skills for 10,000 hours. Does this sound easy? Definitely not as that would mean you have to practise your skill about 27 hours a day for one year, while what you have is only 24 hours a day! Or, you can continue to practise 40 hours a week for 250 weeks in order to be successful in your area. Does this sound daunting?? Of course it is! Do you want to go through the same process with so much hours before you succeed? I doubt so!
Well, at least what i can tell you is that the daunting and long hours of practice do not apply to formulas to win lottery. With the right system, some lottery players do not even need to practice at all to win lottery immediately. However, if you want to win the lottery consistently, practice regularly is the key. You have to “play” regularly and consistently. Every game you miss is a forever-lost winning opportunity.
A Chinese famous pianist Lang Lang once told the story how his father told him off for being late to piano lessons one day. The father made a very important remark which affected Lang Lang’s life and about the importance of time and opportunity which Lang Lang had missed and will never get back.
Practice makes perfect – that is the secret to everyone’s success. So, it is important for one to play lottery often, consistently and never miss a game of lottery. One must remember, time and opportunity lost could never be gained back.
A lottery player learnt this the hard way. His lottery numbers came up during the week which he did not play. Had he played consistently and regularly, the lottery would have given him a win of $1 million that could have solved all his financial problems. The disappointment was indeed a bitter blow. Once you miss out on a lottery game, the opportunity to win the lottery is gone forever. Unless you play, you’ll never know whether your numbers will win.
In short, you need to participate in each and every game. This is a simple yet essential step to win any lottery. Most importantly, you do not have to spend 10,000 hours to do it either! You can learn how to shortcut the time needed to win the lottery by using the 1-minute Silver Lotto System introduced by Ken Silver in 1991. Thousands of lottery winners in over 100 countries have benefited from the system and won prizes in more than 9 out of 10 games by using this lottery system.
