Morning, the bookies took our pennies yesterday as the double fell at the first hurdle, Torpillo however won in good style with Darryl Jacobs back on board after his nightmare fall a few months back. As to today, racing at Exeter, Wetherby and Market Rasen of potential interest. Please note we will aim to haveContinue reading “Tuesday 22 March 2022”

Friday 25 March 2021

Good afternoon, the P&L review is underway and on Sunday I will post the schedule up to the end of last Saturday (please note no bets this week to record as we recover from the heights of Cheltenham). Having reviewed the first 2 days of Cheltenham, by the end of Day 2 we were 150+Continue reading “Friday 25 March 2021”

Thursday 28 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”

Tuesday 19 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”

Saturday 16 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”

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. A frustrating day yesterday, 3 races of interest, playing in 2 with sadly no return but picking the winner inContinue reading “Monday 12 January 2021”

Sunday 10 January 2021

A good day yesterday, fantastic racing all across the U.K we ended up for the day with some nice winners and some big prices placing. I will conduct a review later today ahead of Monday’s racing as I am strapped for time this morning. Exeter goes ahead after an inspection. Exeter has 3 races ofContinue reading “Sunday 10 January 2021”

Saturday 9 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”

Tuesday 5 January 2021

First day back, done, hopefully Christmas and New Year doesn’t already feel a million years away, we await the announcement from Boris Johnson at 8pm on Monday evening (time of writing 20:01 on Monday, he’s late again…) as to a further tightening of COVID restrictions. As to the racing, we played in three races andContinue reading “Tuesday 5 January 2021”
