It was a strange run from Brosay, and I thought he shaped better than I believed he would have after the first fifty yards. Obviously, I thought Brosay was the most likely winner, hence why he was tipped up, but you could tell from the start he was going to struggle. He was too keen and didn’t get cover for […]

Nostrum was extremely well-supported, but couldn’t hold on. He was backed into 13/8F; he probably wouldn’t have been as short, but there was a 20p rule 4. Either way, he would still have gone off as the favourite, and I thought he wasn’t as keen as he usually is. Alistair Rawlinson gave him a solid ride, but the horse got […]

South Shore wasn’t able to get to the outsider, but Tipsy Tiger managed to get a victory in the stewards’ room. I’m in two minds about the decision to reverse the placements in the Tipsy Tiger race. I think they came to the right decision, and I might be biased because I tipped the winner, but I’ve seen a lot […]

After a frustrating couple of days, we managed to turn it around and land two winners on Monday. Both of the horses at Hamilton had to fight to the end of the race to get their wins, and I didn’t think El Matador was going to get close when the race started. I thought El Matador was going to enjoy […]

Sunday’s selections at the Curragh were poor, and the pick on Value Pending was atrocious. Royal Bay Cen had a decent position on the rail, but wasn’t able to quicken behind the leader. She’ll be better off in handicaps or a Listed race. 4/1 was definitely not value on Value Pending, as she drifted out to 20/1 and finished in […]

Racing is a very frustrating sport, and Rousing Encore proved why that is the case. It’s best to start off with Sun Goddess, who will be a very tough nut to crack in the 1000 Guineas next year if she can progress over the winter. She is doing some amazing stuff over the sprint trips, when she clearly is not […]

Cairnzy has kindly chipped in to do the Lucky 15 on Saturday, due to Rizzel having commitments and not having the time to complete this thread. Quest For Stars 4/1 – Newmarket 1.55 The horse I like in this contest is Quest For Stars for the inform Charlie Appleby yard. Charlie Appleby runs two in this race, and with William […]

Considering Spirited Gesture had won at Newmarket on her previous starts, it looked like she detested the track today. She looked all over the place when entering the dip, and I’d be surprised if we saw her running at the track for a long time. Maybe she didn’t like quickening from off the pace and got her legs all muddled […]

To walk away with no winner on Thursday feels illegal. There’s only so much I can do, and if I can find the value and tell you how the race will unfold, but the jockey isn’t good enough to steer the horse home, it’s extremely frustrating. Jojo Rabbit should have won, but this is the risk when backing horses in […]

To see Naqeeb weak in the market was a surprise, and seeing the Balding horse win as easily as he did was an even bigger surprise. I can’t imagine this form line is going to be worth much, given how easily the winner won. He is clearly progressing and is running from one of the best stables in the country, […]

There were no excuses for the defeat of Misunderstood, who wasn’t good enough on the day. She was positioned close to the pace, which looked strong, but the winner was by her side, so you cannot blame that. I honestly didn’t believe that race was strong, yet my selection and the second favourite struggled to make any inroads. I said […]

Jordan Electrics denied the fast-finishing Stormy Impact at Hamilton, and if any horse was going to beat me, I’m glad it’s this old boy. Jim Goldie’s sprinter has been a terrific servant to Scottish sprints over the last eight years. At ten, he is still showing a true love for Hamilton. He made all to fend off Stormy Impact, who […]

The Resdev Roman couldn’t follow up on her recent victory and put in a shoddy performance at Hamilton. She was weak in the market and nearly triple in price, which is not a positive sign. She ran how the market said she would. Annie Edson Taylor made sure we weren’t walking away empty-handed on Sunday, and won with plenty to […]

If there was ever a horse to sum up this season on the flat, it was Starlust. He had the best form in the race by a country mile and had no excuses for why he didn’t win, but that was the case. Instead, we had a three-year-old lead from start to finish and saw one rival, who finished in […]

Toyotomi 5/1 – Ayr 2.30 I did put up Toyotomi on the website as a tip when he was meant to run at Haydock; he didn’t run that day due to being off his feed. He has since run in a Curragh handicap, where he didn’t cover himself in glory, but I get the impression this meeting has always been […]

Hickory Lad was mightily disappointing and was backed into 5/4 favouritism. He enjoyed pacing prominently in the early stages of the season, which is why I don’t understand the change in tactics. He was in trouble a long way from home and didn’t show a turn of foot to get anywhere near the front three. Luna A Inhis Nis wasn’t the […]

Fair to say, the trip up to Scotland was not worth the time on Glittering Surf. It was always a shot in the dark backing Glittering Surf, but with the small sample size of runners-to-winners in Scotland, I thought it was worth a try, especially with a wind op happening since her last run. God Of War was outpaced in […]

Prince Kameo did what I expected, and that was a gritty performance, finding more despite being challenged. He got beat on the blindside by a horse from the rear, who he had previously beaten. Nahraan had no excuses apart from the fact that Oisin Murphy looked like an apprentice in the saddle. He looked extremely weak in the saddle, with […]

Percival was extremely well-backed, which came as a surprise. I expected Percival to remain steady at the odds he was tipped up at, but he saw support throughout the day and was as short as 2/1. Based on how the race unfolded, you’ve got to say the front runner and Percival were going too quickly. The pair of them finished […]

Thanks to Cairnzy for filling in for me in my absence. I was away on holiday with the family, so I didn’t have time to see his results. Percival 9/1 (EW, 3pl) – Yarmouth 4.17 With a lot of unknowns about the form of horses and the ground/trip, Percival could be worth a shot at 9/1. Percival is lightly raced […]

Day one of the St Leger Festival went down like a lead balloon for my three selections. Both King Of Earth and Itica fell away very sharply when push came to shove, and showed that they weren’t up to the level required when running in a better race off a higher handicap mark. Prizeland shaped with promise, and I think […]

Blue Hercules was too keen in his race, similar to last time out. Thunder Wonder was dreadful from the beginning. Thunder Wonder left the stalls like she was half asleep, and then didn’t get involved in the race at any stage. Blue Hercules has ability, but he refuses to settle, which gives him a much lower chance of winning any […]

Fair to say, Classiest has one of the worst names associated with a horse, as she is anything but the classiest horse about. This wasn’t a great Listed race, so I really expected a decent effort from O’Brien’s horse, with a place at a minimum being on the cards. She went backwards before turning for home, and she was hand […]

Ecclefechan wasn’t positioned in a great place, but he was never going to trouble the winner, no matter where he was placed in the race. He got checked a little when he was one-paced and was attempting a run up the rail. I was dubious about him being outclassed, but I thought the race wasn’t full of talent; ultimately, I […]

When you’re taking on last year’s Arc winner, you’re hoping he’s not cherry-ripe, but he was. City Bay Roller had the race run to how he wanted, but top class showed when Daryz cruised past him and cemented himself as the leading charge to retain his Arc crown. Spraran Nua was sent off favourite for her Group 1 attempt, but […]
