As we enter the last week of January, still under National Lockdown, good news about the vaccination program and leaks in the press of life reopening again somewhat in April with July the aimed date for pre-COVID normality. We shall see, racing continues but after plenty of snow yesterday across the country, expect plenty ofContinue reading “Monday 25 January 2021”

A good day yesterday, the Clarence House at Ascot was landed by FREE FLOW, trained by Kim Bailey, drifting to 14/1 SP and our selection. Here’s a look at what I said: 15:35 – Clarence House Chase Politologue may well have been the success story of 2020, victorious at the Festival before following it upContinue reading “Sunday 24 January 2021”
Saturday 23 January 2021
I decided it best to wait until post 9am today before reviewing and making selections, the weather it seems has held and the racing gods shined (although it is foggy as anything as I write) on us as Ascot and Haydock go ahead. A solid day yesterday with Fizzy Feet winning at 11/1 for usContinue reading “Saturday 23 January 2021”
Friday 22 January 2021
Good day yesterday, the 3 point each-way landed on Highland Dress in our first of the day (14:00) at 7/2. This meant whatever happened we were up for the day. The Somerset National over at Wincanton was a cracker with The Kings Writ getting pipped at the death, looking the winner until the dour-stayer DawsonContinue reading “Friday 22 January 2021”

A fair enough day yesterday, a nice win by Dostal Phil, who confirmed my pre-race thoughts of performing well off a long-break and did just that to land at an average price of 17/2. A couple of placed efforts by Miss Heritage and First Lord De Cuet kept it ticking over. A few races tomorrowContinue reading “Thursday 21 January 2021”
Wednesday 20 January 2021
Only one race yesterday and whilst the favourite departed after one fence, our selection backed at an average price of 45/1 (taking 50/1 pre 9am and 40/1 post 9am) ran as per his price and didn’t trouble the winner, Full Back. Onto today, a better day than normal for a Wednesday with racing at ChepstowContinue reading “Wednesday 20 January 2021”

Nothing yesterday, write it off as part of the experience, onwards and upwards, especially after the (positive) review of the P&L. Fun and games over at Ayr, as Strong Economy traded at 800.00 on the Betfair Exchange in running before prevailing in the 13:55. Madness. A few races for us to review today, first inContinue reading “Tuesday 19 January 2021”

Good morning, the first month of the year is now starting to appear more prominently in the rear-view, we remain in our third-National Lockdown, with a shock in the Moscow Flyer in Ireland yesterday, won by Dreal Deal at 22/1. Before we get going on today’s racing, let us now review our performance to date:Continue reading “Monday 18 January 2021”
Sunday 17 January 2021
A middling Saturday, with us not quite breaking even on the day but nothing catastrophic all the same, onto today: Southwell – All-Weather 14:35 – A field of five runners, nothing of note stands out, everything a the time of writing seems about right price-wise, hence no need to get involved. As of Friday eveningContinue reading “Sunday 17 January 2021”
Saturday 16 January 2021
A good week, profit and loss for the year to be updated tomorrow (we are up) and after a few barren days with racing cancelled and nothing yesterday of interest in the one race on the All-Weather, above Class 3. Market Rasen 12:20 – nothing of interest in this race, Haul Away for Nicky HendersonContinue reading “Saturday 16 January 2021”
