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.

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.

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

A later post, and a brief one. Not a bad thing, as there isn’t bundles to be excited about. Plenty looked at, but ultimately able to talk myself out of pretty much all of it with relative ease. One or two of them will no doubt have me ruing that, but that’s racing. Klitschko ran … Read more

Three cards today but very limited stuff and not a lot to get excited about. Most disappointed with Kempton card, which I will ordinarily spend an age on, but it’s a dismal betting card. Two chances stood out to me enough at the prices, so I’m going with. Yesterday’s four… Four selections yesterday and three … Read more

A day of low grade racing ahead, but there was a surprising amount which stood out, so I’ve gone somewhat mob-handed and that’s with leaving a couple who more than half tempted me to run. Yesterday’s two returned nothing. The first up, Conquest Of Power at Kempton, had the writing on the wall soon after … Read more
