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”

Monday 1 February 2021
A disappointing Saturday, ends January on a note the rest of the month did not merit, on reflection, perhaps I over-staked due to their only being one major Jump meeting but it was difficult to see nothing stick out of 9 bets on Saturday, with only one providing any return, an each-way second. However, weContinue reading “Monday 1 February 2021”

Cheltenham sadly a casualty of the bad weather leaving us with Doncaster and Lingfield on the All-Weather. Doncaster 13:30 – All eyes on Shiskin, arguably Britain’s best horse, in the 13:30 at Doncaster, he should win and win well, ahead of the Festival. A chance is taken however on Eldorado Allen, the Tizzard yard areContinue reading “Saturday 30 January 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”
Wednesday 27 January 2021
Only one race of interest today, over at Lingfield over on the All-Weather the 13:15. It is a 4 runner affair with the market, with Power of States for Hugo Palmer, favourite, at Evens. His speed-figures are to be respected but they are equivalent to the outsider of the bunch, ASSIMILATION, who is our selection,Continue reading “Wednesday 27 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 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”
Tuesday 12 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”
