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”

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”

‘Twas, the weekend before Christmas, sorry Cheltenham. Try not to do your beans today if you are having a bet ahead of the big one. As to yesterday, well, it started well, 3 points on at 5/1 with the wonderful, unrivalled, genius that is Hollie of Doyle doing the business for us again on theContinue reading “Saturday 13 March 2021”

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”

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”

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”
Monday 1 February 2021
A disappointing Saturday, ends January on a note the rest of the month did not merit, on reflection, perhaps I over-staked due to their only being one major Jump meeting but it was difficult to see nothing stick out of 9 bets on Saturday, with only one providing any return, an each-way second. However, weContinue reading “Monday 1 February 2021”

Good morning, the first month of the year is now starting to appear more prominently in the rear-view, we remain in our third-National Lockdown, with a shock in the Moscow Flyer in Ireland yesterday, won by Dreal Deal at 22/1. Before we get going on today’s racing, let us now review our performance to date:Continue reading “Monday 18 January 2021”
