When last in action, back on Saturday, there was no notable performance delivered by My Bobby Dazzler, who folded rather tamely as the drift suggested. Thankfully, it was a profitable week for the ‘Nap of the Day’ following Wednesday’s 8/1 winner. Let’s see what this week brings. We’re again starting the week’s three Naps with a bet on Wednesday, and […]

Yesterday’s runner gave us a decent run, and it’s fair to say that the step up in trip certainly didn’t hinder him, but sadly, he couldn’t get the job done. On Saturday, I’m interested in the opener at Haydock, ahead of which I feel that My Bobby Dazzler isn’t quite getting the respect that he deserves. For my money, odds […]

After a bit of a wait, it was back to winning ways on Wednesday, with Montrachet Girl getting the job done at Southwell, banking a timely 8/1 winner. Always nice when one like that goes in, let’s hope there’s more success lurking around the corner. On with Friday’s action, and today I’m all about the final race at Dundalk, a […]

A promising run from Navajo Indy, who will surely win races of that nature before long, when last in action on Saturday, though unfortunately, on that occasion, he couldn’t quite pull out enough. A new week for the ‘Nap of the Day’ begins on Wednesday, when the card at Southwell catches the eye, chiefly because Montrachet Girl looks a decent […]

Yesterday’s runner was far from successful, with Lilting Verse jumping less than fluently on several occasions before weakening two from the finish. Onto the next. On Saturday, I’m interested in what is arguably the biggest race of the day. It’ll be one of the races with the biggest betting turnover, that’s for sure. I am of course referring to the […]

Yesterday’s Nap was a non-runner, with the meeting at Doncaster being abandoned due to the frosty conditions. At the time of writing, Friday’s action is all set to go ahead. Let’s hope it stays that way. On Friday, my eyes are on Bangor, where ahead of the second race, a Class 4 chase over three miles, Lilting Verse stands out […]

January wasn’t exactly a vintage month for the ‘Nap of the Day’, there’s no getting away from that. Unfortunately, when you’re trying to go against the grain and offer something a little different, pinpointing bigger-priced selections, that is sometimes the way it goes. Still, four out of five profitable months isn’t bad. Let’s see what February brings. I’ve kept quiet […]

January hasn’t exactly been a vintage month for the ‘Nap of the Day’, but when you’re looking to go against the curve, that’s the way it goes at times. Let’s see what Thursday brings. With one National Hunt meeting already gone and another due for an early morning inspection, I’m focusing on the all-weather action on Thursday. At Southwell, ahead […]

What has been a tricky month for the ‘Nap of the Day’ continued yesterday with Mackenburg never landing a blow before pulling up. Never great to get no sort of run for your money, so hopefully Friday brings with it a turnaround in fortunes. Friday’s bet goes at Doncaster, where ahead of the 14:38 contest, a Class 4 hurdle race […]

The Defiant didn’t really defy much on Wednesday. Well, in the sense that he delivered what was far from a pleasing effort, he defied me, so I suppose that’s something. Anyway, no dice. Moving on to Thursday, I like the look of the third race at Wetherby, ahead of which Mackenburg catches the eye at chunky odds of 11/1. No […]

A new week for the ‘Nap of the Day’ begins on Wednesday, where the focus is the all-weather meeting at Lingfield. At Lingfield, it’s the third race that I’m primarily interested in on Wednesday. The horse in focus is The Defiant, who made a pleasing return to action following a break over course and distance back in January. Little more […]

Hardy Du Seuil ran a cracker yesterday, finishing a nose out of the places and just three lengths off the winner of a race that he was sent off at 33/1 for. Naturally, being so close, it was a little disappointing not to pick up what would’ve been some decent place money, but he certainly outran his price-tag. On Saturday, […]

I could’ve run that race on foot yesterday (as could anyone reading this) and done no worse, such was the level of effort delivered by Antiphon. Back to the drawing board. On Friday, there’s a nice little card at Windsor, and it’s the 15:35 contest that has grabbed my attention. I’ll start by saying that this is of course a […]

When last involved, it was not to be for Attaboyarchie, who certainly ran a good race at big odds, finishing in a respectable third. After a quiet start to the week, the Nap is back in action on Thursday, where a race at Chelmsford catches the eye. That race is the 19:30 contest, a five-furlong handicap of the Class 5 […]

The new year hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly in terms of Nap results, though the overall profit and loss (found at the bottom) of this page/thread continues to be quite healthy. Now, given that we’ve seen meeting after meeting surrender to the treacherous conditions over the last week or so, there’s a decent chance that the racing at Fairyhouse won’t go […]

Yesterday’s runner was well backed, going off a good bit shorter than advised, and he didn’t exactly run a bad race, finishing third, without ever troubling the winner. Moving on. It’s another relatively low-key day on Wednesday, though at least National Hunt fans have something to cling to at Taunton. For me, the focus is Newcastle, where ahead of the […]

Last week finished with a non-runner as the wet weather washed away most of Saturday’s action, and it’s been much of the same since. A new week for the ‘Nap of the Day’ begins on Tuesday, and it’s off to Wolverhampton, which thanks to rather treacherous conditions, happens to be the only meeting of the day. Ahead of the race […]

Friday’s Nap didn’t quite cut it, with Calanthe coming into the race relatively well before flattening out rather rapidly. Moving on. The best day of the week in terms of quality is upon us, and ahead of Saturday’s racing, I’m interested in the opener at Wincanton, where Thunder N Lightnin looks like a nice bet at chunky odds. Let’s face […]

Well, Our Pink Lady certainly didn’t deliver the goods yesterday. Is she still running? Ahead of Friday’s action, I’m heading back to the all-weather (not literally, it’s far too cold for that), where the 14:45 contest at Lingfield catches the eye, chiefly because Calanthe looks a little generously priced at odds of 8/1. Disappointing in a recent run over hurdles, […]

No dice with the previous Nap, but we closed the year in a healthy position from a profit and loss point of view, turning a profit in each of the four months that the ‘Nap of the Day’ ran. Happy new year to all. Time to get back down to business, and we start the new year ahead of Thursday’s […]

It’s been a little while since the ‘Nap of the Day’ was last in action, just over a week in fact, but we’re back ahead of Sunday’s racing, and we’re back following what was an excellent winner, with Fiercely Proud getting the job done at 12/1 last Saturday, giving the December figures both a timely and healthy boost. Ahead of […]

Sizable Sam certainly outrun those chunky odds on Thursday, running a very bold race to take third. Well done if you played each way. However, the search for the next winner goes on. Let’s see what Saturday brings. As is always the case on a Saturday, when the action is at its best and most plentiful, narrowing it down to […]

Last week, I’d held back a ‘Nap of the Day’ slot until Sunday, only for the site to go down for a few days, so it’s been a while since this page was last in action, but we’re back ahead of Thursday’s action. On Thursday, I’m interested in the 13:55 at Exeter, where to my eyes, Sizable Sam looks overpriced […]
