Daily Dial #37 – Sat 7 Feb – Lingfield and Newbury
Early start today so the dial is going to be a brief out and punch. Two I’ve been waiting after, one longer than the other. It has been a quiet few days on the post front, as I’ve just not been sweet enough about anything at remotely close to an interesting price.
Daily Dial #36 – Wed 4 Feb – One Bet at Kempton
A few days of letting them run, as cards just looked horrendously tricky and the weather leading to no end of guessable ground. Nicky Henderson even quite rightly taking to media to justify not running horses, tells you how bad it has been.
Daily Dial #35 – Monday 2nd February – Kempton and Southwell
I let yesterday run as I wasn’t sweet enough about any of them, but I was left kicking myself when the biggest price of those I’d looked more than once at obliged at 20/1. Moonverrin (Leopardstown 16:27) caught the eye in a deep enough race, on little more than being a very rare big runner in a Bumper for a yard who seldom have success in such events.
Daily Dial #34 – Saturday 31st January – Lingfield and Newcastle
A rare play today in an All Weather Classified Stakes race, in which the Trainer and Jockey have hit up a remarkable strike rate together, with their form figures reading an impressive 131322238482116. They go again, with a runner who looks to have a good chance on paper and he is a double figure price.
Daily Dial #33 – Friday 30th January – One to Grab His Chance at Southwell
One selection yesterday returned a tidy profit, where the 33/1 shot Seven Fires ran a cracker at Chelmsford to justify the improvement expected second time out for Jack Channon. Today we go with two selections, both on the All Weather and one of which I’ve been waiting for over todays conditions.
Daily Dial #32 – Thursday 29th January – One Chelmsford Outsider To Bet
I was totally content on letting today go, until I had a look at the Chelmsford Fillies’ Novice over six furlongs, which has a vulnerable enough odds-on-jolly at the head of the betting. These are the races I love to target, as if I think a short enough price can be beaten, it means there […]
Daily Dial #31 – Tuesday 27th January – Backing the Wolverhampton Raider and a Chepstow Longshot
The one selection at a big price yesterday paid off, with Pickersgill returning place money at 33/1. Going after the Place Boost paid off, with the filly finishing precisely there on her first run for Iain Jardine. Considering the race wasn’t particularly run to suit with them going plenty slow enough, she done particularly well […]
Daily Dial #30 – Monday 26th January – One Rank Outsider at Wolverhampton
Nice to see Rosie Baloo oblige at Sedgefield yesterday at 10/3. A mare we’ve followed for a wee while now and she done it nicely. Interesting too to listen to William Easterby afterwards speak very well of her and her intentions over fences. She’s well above average and one we’ll likely have close tabs on […]
Daily Dial #29 – Sunday 25th January – One Bet at Sedgefield
Well Newcastle’s All Weather continues to deceive me, although the artificial in general is proving hard to judge in general on my end. However, Favori De Champdou obliged at Cheltenham, to continue a fruitful run on the jumps scene. That’s five winners from some twenty-odd bets over the last two months. Sticking with the jumps […]
Daily Dial #28 – Saturday 24th January – Cheltenham Trials Day and Newcastle’s All Weather
Having let yesterday go with nothing really poking me in the ribs, today couldn’t be further from it. Four selections on the day, with one standout at Cheltenham and three across Newcastle’s All Weather card. Newcastle has always been, and continues to, a bit of a muddling one for me to judge. I find it […]
