And to pat myself on the back a little more, let usContinue reading “Wednesday 13 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”

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.

Nothing yesterday, from our perspective a poor days racing, a full all-weather National Hunt Flat card at Newcastle, did little to stir the emotions, I mentioned to my brother that the standard of the racing was awful, however I didn’t expect it to be this bad: I’m of course being unfair, still, made me laugh.Continue reading “Saturday 9 January 2021”

Thursday 7 January 2021

I am afraid it is that time of year where the ground hardens, the cold bites and trainers/owners rightly become frustrated with the seasonal change in the air and meetings are cancelled. Ffos las had two races today above Class 3 and above but sadly has been cancelled moments ago. Yesterday, nothing really went rightContinue reading “Thursday 7 January 2021”

Monday 4 January 20201

Good morning, first working day back for most, hence let us enjoy the return to relative normality after a busy but very different festive season, with the government promising more restrictions in the coming days, it will be interesting if racing is able to continue, with many in the BHA petitioning and reminding the governmentContinue reading “Monday 4 January 20201”

Sunday 3 January 2021

Saturday Review Ayr was cancelled yesterday, leaving only 3 selection, Flow Away was found to be the right price after all going off at 16/1 and running very much like a selection at that price, however SEEYOUATMIDNIGHT ran exactly as desired (and if you read the blog post, as wanted, with Mania, front running), theContinue reading “Sunday 3 January 2021”
