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”

Rubbish day yesterday, nothing went well blog wise, everything I said was carrying too much weight and couldn’t win hosed up! Hoping for a better day today, oh and welcome to the Flat season, love the Lincoln, always heralds the start of spring. Racing today of interest at Kelso, Kempton, Doncaster (Flat), Newbury and WolverhamptonContinue reading “Saturday 27 March 2021”

Well, that was something, what a Festival, absolute Irish domination, fantastic performances all round and what a thrilling day Friday was, so many close races. Furthermore, we ended up in plenty of profit despite a couple of seconds (Gold Cup in particular) that on another day would have heralded a day for the ages. FullContinue reading “Saturday 20 March 2021”

Back, after the break, a self-enforced break, work was rather mental for a few weeks and I was beginning to become frustrated with the weather cancelling racing, ensuring trainer plans were needing to be changed and the form seemingly had gone to pot. However, the weather has begun to improve, Nicky has finally got aContinue reading “Monday 22 February 2021”

No good yesterday, nothing is working at the minute, as we build up to Cheltenham let us hope things start to click, a difficult time with racing being cancelled last minute due to the weather and horses not quite running to form, or at least not to the form we want, as we often playContinue reading “Wednesday 10 February 2021”

One bet, one win, a nice way to enjoy a relatively modest day of racing, as cancellations due to weather continue. ASSIMILATION however, did everything we said he would, he hung back slightly off the pace and was presented at the straight. A great ride by Luke Morris who knew the tactical ride of SkyContinue reading “Thursday 28 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”

A fun day yesterday, nothing much happened in the first race for us, with the favourite Flagrant Delitiep scoring over at Hereford in the 14:20 , Subcontinent however ran into a place returning us a small profit on that selection. However, how right we were to take on the even-money favourite and high-class performer, BangkokContinue reading “Tuesday 12 January 2021”

The BHA and the Government have come out this morning to confirm that horse-racing (presently behind closed doors) is not at present due to be halted due to increasing concerns around the spread of COVID-19. A frustrating day yesterday, 3 races of interest, playing in 2 with sadly no return but picking the winner inContinue reading “Monday 12 January 2021”
