‘Twas, the weekend before Christmas, sorry Cheltenham. Try not to do your beans today if you are having a bet ahead of the big one. As to yesterday, well, it started well, 3 points on at 5/1 with the wonderful, unrivalled, genius that is Hollie of Doyle doing the business for us again on theContinue reading “Saturday 13 March 2021”

Not long now, the Festival is but days away, plenty of final research ahead of next week. Turning to today, Lingfield, Sandown and Leicester provide opportunities. Shorter write-ups today, as busy. Lingfield 13:00 – Take on the favourite, Crimson King is right at the bottom of the weights and ran a faster speed whilst carryingContinue reading “Friday 12 March 2021”

Cheltenham is but 6 days away. Racing today at Fontwell and Lingfield. Fontwell. 13:30 – very solid fave, Baddesley Prince would be of interest with his performances in 2019 measuring respect but we have no idea how he is going to look today with the yard not being in the greatest of form. Lingfield 15:55Continue reading “Wednesday 10 March 2021”

No racing of worth today, so we will break down the P&L. What a rollercoaster it has been, after a fine start in January where everything looked rosy (at one point 50 points in profit), we began to struggle and as accepted over-stake, this led to us falling to on or around -25 points. EarlyContinue reading “Tuesday 9 March 2021”

Our only bet ran poorly yesterday, let us hope the Skelton’s are not falling out of form ahead of the Festival, a few poor runners of late might indicate the yard is not quite firing as they would like. Onto today, P&L to be posted tomorrow. Southwell 13:00 – Nothing of interest. 13:30 – NothingContinue reading “Monday 8 March 2021”
Sunday 7 March 2021
What a day that was, the best of the year, just when we needed it, over 50 points returned on one day and it could have been even more. Winners at 16/1, 8/1, 5/1 and of course Big Bite snatching a place from the jaws of victory with him and another placing at 12/1 andContinue reading “Sunday 7 March 2021”

Afternoon, not much yesterday, one withdrawal and a place. Today, a busy day but with Cheltenham on the horizon, we may look to limit our selections today. Forgive the shorter than usual write-ups today, busy! Newbury 12:40 – nothing of interest. 13:15 – WEST APPROACH 9/1 1PT EW & SIR IVAN 8/1 1PT EW 13:50Continue reading “Saturday 6 March 2021”

Good day yesterday, one bet and one win, nice to see Stone Soldier win, under a cracking ride by Luke Morris. Nice 2pt e/w at 5/1 to improve the yearly performance. Today, Lingfield, Newbury and Doncaster of potential interest. Lingfield 14:00 – a shot is taken on Saint Hollie of Doyle to do the businessContinue reading “Friday 5 March 2021”

Afternoon all, not likely to be much in the way of racing selections over the next week or so as we build up to Cheltenham, preparation for the festival is now well under way and I will post selections everyday. Fingers crossed for another profitable one. I will begin sharing thoughts in coming days. SouthwellContinue reading “Thursday 4 March 2021”

Gordon Elliot, bloody hell, what an idiot. Not sure how he returns from the publication of that photo of him lying on a dead horse, with the animal welfare gang always well primed ahead of Cheltenham and the National the sport has once-again done itself little favour, will be interesting to see how the IHRB/BHAContinue reading “Monday 1 March 2021”
