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”

The All-Weather is providing us with winners at a big-price of late, 9/1 Monday (10/1 SP) and yesterday, SANAADH at 7/1 (14/1 SP!) with a cool ride from Joe Fanning getting in front when it mattered at the death an never looking troubled. And to pat myself on the back a little more, let usContinue reading “Wednesday 13 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”

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”
