It wasn't to be for Rizzel on Thursday with both selections running considerably under par. 

I was surprised to see Come On John finish outside the placings in his race given how he has hit the crossbar on endless occasions this last month or so. That horse was a losing selection for me recently, and I guess if the horse were going to lose you would rather it get smoked than finish second for the 50th time in two months, which would further add to the frustrations. Come On John is probably worth leaving alone going forward, but knowing our luck he will win next time out!

There is only flat racing tomorrow due to the continued weather abruptions. I had some success on the flat a couple of days ago, so I'm not totally annoyed. Fingers crossed tomorrow's selection can get the job done for us.

Cairnzy's Tips

The Thames Boatman 9/4 – Lingfield 2.20

The Thames Boatman, trained by Richard Hughes and ridden by his regular companion in Finley Marsh, was the only horse that I thought was worth a bet in tomorrows racing.

I'm a big believer in course form, and it's always something I look at when it comes to ticking boxes for certain selections. My selection certainly has form when it comes to Lingfield, and only recently lost his unbeaten record at the track on New Years Eve, when finishing three and a quarter lengths back in sixth place. Notably, that particular contest was a considerable rise in class for The Thames Boatman ( Class 2 0-105 ) and he ran with credit to finish close enough to the winner in a more quality-filled field. Furthermore, my selection was making his return to the track on the back of a 87 day break so he is more than entitled to have needed the run and should come on for it.

My selection drops down into calmer waters this time around ( Class 4 contest ) and he should find this a fair bit easier. The Thames Boatman is one of those horses that needs things to fall correctly, which comes with its obvious risks as this is racing and nothing is ever guaranteed.

My selection is a holdup performer and tends to need a fair gallop to aim at before making his charge down the straight. There is some forecast pace on offer in this contest, McLoven being the most obvious one at first glance. If the race plans out as I expect it to, then I think The Thames Boatman has every chance of picking up the pieces late on.

    Almaty star 2-20 lingfield 9-4 top 3 finish bet365.

    Has finished close up behind today’s favourite the Thames boatman twice in the last 6 months in class 3 races and is weighted to turn round that form though it won’t be necessary for my bet.

    The 3rd from their last meeting mc’loven also runs here which adds more Intrigue as they all drop a class to 4 today..
    Course form of 1-2-2 also reads well.

      Elvis The courses themselves have never called themselves ALL WEATHER.

      Just a name made up by the bookies to keep desperate punters betting everyday.

      How can you race in fog strong winds waterlogging ice etc not matter what the going is .

      Dont bet on these courses anyway and i cant believe people bet on them in these conditions no form adds up nothing.

      Hopefully back to some proper racing next week

      Aye, ffos las tomorrow and a couple of Irish meetings and that’s it until Monday.

      You are right about the all weather terminology.
      In it’s inception it was introduced to placate “desperate”
      Punters to quote yourself when turf was off but has infested itself now to a point where at certain times you have a handful of flat meetings in the summer and 3 meetings of all weather “AWT” .

      as far as the original idea goes, I think it gives the daily punter a chance of getting away from their wives for the day 🤣
      There’s a bunch of old boys down our bookies in Bangor, they meet up, sit round a table, get free coffee from the goons behind the counter, have a good old chat, do some low stake accumulators placepots then go home to their nagging wives.
      And they save a bit of fuel as the bookies are usually warm environments.

      I’m being pedantic of course but what I’m saying is each to their own, there is a place for all weather racing but not the saturation we have now when it’s not needed but as you say if people bet regularly on these low grade horses it will continue

      France get it right, a maximum of 3 meetings a day, usually just one or 2 and maybe one AWT meeting in a day.

    Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying adverts that pop up all the time now here.
    It lowers the tone and is a tacky addition to the site.

    Or has the site become more focused on making money from advertising than providing a platform to exchange tips and chat 🤔

      Right Karma isn’t great price at 6/5 but should be winning. Probably best left in multiples 🤷
