Good morning, the Knavesmire awaits, York is with us already, before we know it the Derby and then the Jumps will return. Apologies for radio silence after a poor run of form at Chester and the weekend, a few days off to recoup and refresh essential. The P&L is nearly done and should be readyContinue reading “Wednesday 12 May 2021”

So, how far away were you from landing a 125/1 4-fold that would have turned Chester completely around? Only 3/4 of a….ffs….3 winners at 8/1, 3/1 and evens respectively and then the Balding trained Kings Lynn who wins with another inch never mind half a furlong fails to get up (beaten by the horse IContinue reading “Saturday 8 May 2021”

Afternoon, Mercurial at 17/2 was a welcome winner for us, especially as we were pipped on the line in the race prior. A less than ideal week at Chester, draw biases remain ever prominent and Franny Norton continues to ride the course like a master. Onto today and a quieter week next week, after theContinue reading “Friday 7 May 2021”

Yesterday started quite rosy, save as for a withdrawal in the opener at Chester which meant our ew bet became a win only, fortunately Navello won but with a heavy rule 4, however the manner of the win was such that it probably would have won anyway. Dubai Fountain then did the business and theContinue reading “Thursday 6 May 2021”

Morning all, not much went right yesterday with problems in running and our final runner of the day backed in to favouritism before getting somewhat bunched up in the straight, we will avoid the lesser-fare for a little while. As to today, how is it Chester races already, a fantastic day-out normally to bring inContinue reading “Wednesday 5 May 2021”

A Bank Holiday Monday with weather more akin to the clocks going back, rather than the delights of spring, the Monday concluded a long weekend where as a whole we have done very well, Strawberry Jack stood out as the best winner with Zaffys Pride running well over at the Curragh but not quite ableContinue reading “Tuesday 4 May 2021”
Monday 3 May 2021 (Bank Holiday Monday)
Good Afternoon all, what a fun weekend that was, I hope you are having a good Bank Holiday. Easy enough again in the 1000 Guineas, where we backed a decent price winner, Mother Earth at 11/1 and Fev Rover placing at 18s, by my estimate a weekend which paid around 80 points profit with winnersContinue reading “Monday 3 May 2021 (Bank Holiday Monday)”

Good morning, a nice way to start the Flat season properly, with the 1-2 in the Guineas, what a race and a fantastic performance by POETIC FLARE, Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning. A great ding-doing all the way to the line with Master of the Seas, the Ballydoyle plots all blew up, none more soContinue reading “Sunday 2 May 2021”
Saturday 1 May 2021 (2000 Guineas day)
Welcome to the official start of the Flat season, after a good week we skipped yesterday as I had working commitments, we continue to have done well over the last week posting around 100 points profit. A full review of the Jumps season when Punchestown is over will be provided in the coming days andContinue reading “Saturday 1 May 2021 (2000 Guineas day)”

A day of near misses, Mostawaa in the opener being defeated late-on at Ascot and then a 22/1 shot partnered by the excellent Ryan Moore denying another. Nice to see Clan Des Obeaux get ahead in the Gold Cup to restore some minor sense of pride for the British against Ireland after a torrid Cheltenham.Continue reading “Thursday 29 April 2021”
