Monday 8 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 28 February 2021

4 points profit yesterday on a day that nearly promised so much more, a couple of seconds that on another day were winners could have made that another extremely profitable Saturday. Onto today, Fontwell 14:40 – nothing of interest although I expect Ashtour to run the fave, High up in the Air close. 15:10 –Continue reading “Sunday 28 February 2021”

Saturday 27 February 2021

Not much went well yesterday with nothing sticking. A big day of racing today, I heard on the Nick Luck pod Nicholls has runners in every race at Kempton so he will probably win every race… Reviews will be shorter today as a lot of racing. Let’s get going. Lingfield 12:55 – Nothing of interest.Continue reading “Saturday 27 February 2021”

Friday 26 February 2021

No harm done at all yesterday, sadly the front-two in the market dominated our selections which were big outsiders, however our 2 point win bet on Blackjack Kentucky ensured we broke even for the day. Racing at Exeter, Lingfield, Warwick and Wolverhampton today. Exeter 13:30 – DOLPHIN SQUARE stands out, his front-running style should beContinue reading “Friday 26 February 2021”

Thursday 25 February 2021

Supakalanistic led from the front, going off at 7/1 (backed at 9/2) and being pipped after the last to finish second, ensuring an each-way return on that selection, sadly Mr Scrumpy in the same race was never competitive and Tawny Port on the all-weather started slowly and had a torrid time with the kickback. AContinue reading “Thursday 25 February 2021”

Wednesday 24 February 2021

A good day yesterday, Rockadenn winning at 9/1 followed up by Tadleel over at Newcastle at 12/1 all but resetting our position. A lovely ride by Bryony Frost on Rockadenn ahead of her mounts at the Festival. Turning to today there is racing at Southwell, Ludlow and Doncaster of interest. Southwell 14:05 – TAWNY PORTContinue reading “Wednesday 24 February 2021”

Monday 22 February 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”

Wednesday 10 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”

Tuesday 9 February 2021

The snow has fallen across the land, hence Market Rasen and Taunton are off, no jumps action today, a bumper-exclusive card over at Kempton (which we will be avoiding), leaving us only with Southwell and the All-Weather later on in the day. I will have an update as to P&L tomorrow. 18:15 – ARTISTIC STREAKContinue reading “Tuesday 9 February 2021”

Saturday 6 February 2021

This is clearly the best Saturday so far this year, in-fact it could be one of the best days of the entire racing calendar, so much racing, so many Cheltenham pointers and beyond. Let us get going and quickly, I write this at 11:39, with the first race off at midday at Lingfield, fortunately thatContinue reading “Saturday 6 February 2021”
