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”

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”

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”

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”
Thursday 21 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”

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”

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”
