Our only bet ran poorly yesterday, let us hope the Skelton’s are not falling out of form ahead of the Festival, a few poor runners of late might indicate the yard is not quite firing as they would like. Onto today, P&L to be posted tomorrow. Southwell 13:00 – Nothing of interest. 13:30 – NothingContinue reading “Monday 8 March 2021”

Sunday 28 February 2021
4 points profit yesterday on a day that nearly promised so much more, a couple of seconds that on another day were winners could have made that another extremely profitable Saturday. Onto today, Fontwell 14:40 – nothing of interest although I expect Ashtour to run the fave, High up in the Air close. 15:10 –Continue reading “Sunday 28 February 2021”

No harm done at all yesterday, sadly the front-two in the market dominated our selections which were big outsiders, however our 2 point win bet on Blackjack Kentucky ensured we broke even for the day. Racing at Exeter, Lingfield, Warwick and Wolverhampton today. Exeter 13:30 – DOLPHIN SQUARE stands out, his front-running style should beContinue reading “Friday 26 February 2021”

Supakalanistic led from the front, going off at 7/1 (backed at 9/2) and being pipped after the last to finish second, ensuring an each-way return on that selection, sadly Mr Scrumpy in the same race was never competitive and Tawny Port on the all-weather started slowly and had a torrid time with the kickback. AContinue reading “Thursday 25 February 2021”

A good day yesterday, Rockadenn winning at 9/1 followed up by Tadleel over at Newcastle at 12/1 all but resetting our position. A lovely ride by Bryony Frost on Rockadenn ahead of her mounts at the Festival. Turning to today there is racing at Southwell, Ludlow and Doncaster of interest. Southwell 14:05 – TAWNY PORTContinue reading “Wednesday 24 February 2021”

Back, after the break, a self-enforced break, work was rather mental for a few weeks and I was beginning to become frustrated with the weather cancelling racing, ensuring trainer plans were needing to be changed and the form seemingly had gone to pot. However, the weather has begun to improve, Nicky has finally got aContinue reading “Monday 22 February 2021”

No good yesterday, nothing is working at the minute, as we build up to Cheltenham let us hope things start to click, a difficult time with racing being cancelled last minute due to the weather and horses not quite running to form, or at least not to the form we want, as we often playContinue reading “Wednesday 10 February 2021”

Cheltenham sadly a casualty of the bad weather leaving us with Doncaster and Lingfield on the All-Weather. Doncaster 13:30 – All eyes on Shiskin, arguably Britain’s best horse, in the 13:30 at Doncaster, he should win and win well, ahead of the Festival. A chance is taken however on Eldorado Allen, the Tizzard yard areContinue reading “Saturday 30 January 2021”
Monday 25 January 2021
As we enter the last week of January, still under National Lockdown, good news about the vaccination program and leaks in the press of life reopening again somewhat in April with July the aimed date for pre-COVID normality. We shall see, racing continues but after plenty of snow yesterday across the country, expect plenty ofContinue reading “Monday 25 January 2021”
Thursday 21 January 2021
A fair enough day yesterday, a nice win by Dostal Phil, who confirmed my pre-race thoughts of performing well off a long-break and did just that to land at an average price of 17/2. A couple of placed efforts by Miss Heritage and First Lord De Cuet kept it ticking over. A few races tomorrowContinue reading “Thursday 21 January 2021”
