Yesterday’s post was a profitable one, but without a big dose of lady luck, it would’ve been a comedy of errors. We had Wade Out, who appeared to absolutely hate the track at Windsor, running no sort of race, Thats About Right at Thurles, who hated the ground, and Miss Cynthia at Fakenham, who bumped … Read more

Some really nice races to sift through today, which looked a far better betting opportunity than the mudling cards of yesterday. As such, powder was kept dry in order to play a flurry of more fancied chances today. Our first bets since Wednesday, where we played an ultimately disappointing one in Parramount at Chelmsford. Coming … Read more

The one selection yesterday put paid to his own chances, with No Return taking the firmest of holds in the early stages under Callum Shepherd, who was clinging on for dear life at one stage. That meant when Shepherd asked for an effort in the closing stages, the horse had nothing to give. Most frustrating, … Read more

The racing is leaving little to get too excited about at the minute, especially on the betting front. With the selections that have been chanced often not having races unfold remotely how I’ve expected them too, I took stock and have let a few days run.

Another blank drawn from the two yesterday, continuing a bit of a timid time of it. Titian Blue looked likely to be going mighty close when he came bursting through to lead at a crucial stage, but he emptied very quickly and was duly swallowed. That looked a fitness thing, looking very likely to be … Read more

Yesterday just about summed up how betting the races can be at this time of year. It can be a really tricky period, where there are no major targets in sight, many are either coming off or have just come off of a lay off, and there is no real knowing who is a true … Read more

New Years Day saw a feast of racing, but from the three darts thrown, it was a blank and dull day. The one I fancied like a fancy thing, Pallas Lord, was nutted into 2nd in the closing stages, and I can’t help feel aggrieved at what looked a woefully weak ride in the finish … Read more

Happy new year all! The racing for 2026 starts in earnest, with a bumper day of it to get stuck into. I’m off to the football today, so my watching of the racing will be done after the fact, with a cold Shanky’s Whip or four this evening. There was ample to sift through and … Read more
