How do you blow away the cobwebs of a terrible Chester and awful Saturday just gone, by putting up a 40+ point profit day on the opening day of the Dante Festival. After a ropey start with nothing much working, albeit the each-way money keeping us on track, our day got going with SNOWFALL forContinue reading “Thursday 13 May 2021”

Tuesday 4 May 2021
A Bank Holiday Monday with weather more akin to the clocks going back, rather than the delights of spring, the Monday concluded a long weekend where as a whole we have done very well, Strawberry Jack stood out as the best winner with Zaffys Pride running well over at the Curragh but not quite ableContinue reading “Tuesday 4 May 2021”
Sunday 2 May 2021
Good morning, a nice way to start the Flat season properly, with the 1-2 in the Guineas, what a race and a fantastic performance by POETIC FLARE, Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning. A great ding-doing all the way to the line with Master of the Seas, the Ballydoyle plots all blew up, none more soContinue reading “Sunday 2 May 2021”
Thursday 29 April 2021
A day of near misses, Mostawaa in the opener being defeated late-on at Ascot and then a 22/1 shot partnered by the excellent Ryan Moore denying another. Nice to see Clan Des Obeaux get ahead in the Gold Cup to restore some minor sense of pride for the British against Ireland after a torrid Cheltenham.Continue reading “Thursday 29 April 2021”

Sir Alex with a Treble in Merseyside on Day 1 of the Aintree meeting, sadly not much luck for us yesterday with some decent placed efforts but sadly nothing being confirmed the winner by the judge. A frustrating day, onto today, with the big one tomorrow. Aintree: 13:45 – Mister Coffey and Edwardstone are theContinue reading “Friday 9 April 2021”
Tuesday 6 April 2021
Not a bad day yesterday, Latest Exhibition picked up some place money for us in the big-race at Fairyhouse, sadly we didn’t have the mortgage on the 150/1 winner. The rest of the day was okay, with the multiple paying place money and wins for Lavenders Blue and Fairway Freddy. As the week builds towardsContinue reading “Tuesday 6 April 2021”
Monday 5 April 2021 (Bank Holiday Monday)
Quiet day yesterday with our selection falling at the last when beaten, as we start Grand National week with the Irish National at Fairyhouse, we look forward to the Aintree meeting on Thursday. Racing at Chepstow, Kempton and Plumpton with the Irish National selections at the bottom. Kempton 14:20 – Han Solo Berger at 7/2Continue reading “Monday 5 April 2021 (Bank Holiday Monday)”

Good Friday, a day of rest for racing traditionally, replaced with racing at Lingfield a few years ago for All-Weather championship day, one of my favourite days in the racing calendar. Enjoy, the Irish National on Monday awaits… Further, full P&L and Cheltenham Festival review over this long, Bank Holiday weekend…. Lingfield – All-Weather ChampionshipContinue reading “Friday 2 April 2021”
Saturday 20 March 2021
Well, that was something, what a Festival, absolute Irish domination, fantastic performances all round and what a thrilling day Friday was, so many close races. Furthermore, we ended up in plenty of profit despite a couple of seconds (Gold Cup in particular) that on another day would have heralded a day for the ages. FullContinue reading “Saturday 20 March 2021”

Cheltenham is but 6 days away. Racing today at Fontwell and Lingfield. Fontwell. 13:30 – very solid fave, Baddesley Prince would be of interest with his performances in 2019 measuring respect but we have no idea how he is going to look today with the yard not being in the greatest of form. Lingfield 15:55Continue reading “Wednesday 10 March 2021”
