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”

Disappointing day yesterday, very little went as desired, Zylan placed with the well fancied favourites, beaten in both races we played in over on the All-Weather but it is hard not to think with a shrewder ride, Zylan could have been ahead at the finish, but for being boxed in. Anyway, today, only one raceContinue reading “Friday 29 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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
