Good Afternoon, after what feels like a furiously busy few months the blog will go quiet(ish) for a little while. Cheltenham, Aintree, Guineas, Oaks, Derby and then Royal Ascot makes it a heck of a busy run, throw, Chester and York in for good measure. Hence post Royal Ascot it somewhat feels the scene isContinue reading “Friday 1 July 2022”

Morning, a quieter week post Royal Ascot, the fall-out continues, Dettori and Gosden are taking a sabbatical, he is at HQ but not riding for his paymaster. Anyway, enough of that, the Sardinian could not get Saga over the line for us at the Royal meeting, so excuse me being a tad sore still. AsContinue reading “Saturday 25 June 2022”
Sunday 19 June 2022
Well, we ended Royal Ascot on a bang, after a week of nothing working whatsoever, we landed Noble Truth at 9/2 , a gutsy performance and then the 1-2 with Naval Crown advised at 33/1 and Creative Force at 12/1. The second place ensured we picked up the place part of a 64/1 double. AContinue reading “Sunday 19 June 2022”
Saturday 18 June 2022 – Royal Ascot Day 5
A poor Royal Ascot from a punting perspective, very little has gone right, apologies, one of those and we will of course bounce-back, yesterday however was brutal, nothing allowed us to be entertained from the off, despite our selections being backed in, proving many other more wealthy fools agreed, nothing ran to form. A strangeContinue reading “Saturday 18 June 2022 – Royal Ascot Day 5”
Friday 17 June 2022 – Royal Ascot Day 4
A day of oh so nearly, Frankie on Saga, poor positioning cost us the race despite the very strong start (finishing faster than everyone else), Mojo Star second in the Gold Cup (another where Frankie on Stradivarius has been chastised by Gosden and Owner) and Israr again when ahead could not see it out, placingContinue reading “Friday 17 June 2022 – Royal Ascot Day 4”
Thursday 16 June – Royal Ascot Day 3
A poor day yesterday where nothing ran to form, Nahanni rather than spooked by fireworks, seems spooked by the game, no sort of run, lacklustre and that worrying performance at Epsom (uneasy movement in the paddock prior to fireworks) is now compounded, none more disappointing however than Bashkirova, she ran no race at all andContinue reading “Thursday 16 June – Royal Ascot Day 3”
Saturday 4 June 2022 – THE DERBY
The grandest of them all, a race that changes futures, creates legacies and defines the season. A special reverence is attributed to this years running, due to the recent passing of the unrivalled master of the course, Lester Piggot. Not a bad day yesterday, the double did just that, doubling your money (due to theContinue reading “Saturday 4 June 2022 – THE DERBY”
