Friday’s Racing Tips – Nabati can keep the Godolphin form rolling

Posted on: 10 Sep 2026

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 […]

Thursday’s Racing Tips – Another Big Day Is On The Cards For Team Balding

Posted on: 09 Sep 2026

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 […]

Gethin was a much shorter price than when advised, partly because his main opponent was a non-runner, and he still couldn’t win. Gethin had every chance to win from the position he was placed by Callum Rodriguez. The horse wanted to stay to the near side on the home straight, and plugged on when he looked well beaten. Kind Of […]

Rocket Boy 2/1 – Haydock 1.55 Based on the form we know, this doesn’t look like a strong Listed race, but it could get messy due to the ground. Rocket Boy has already shown a good level of form, but isn’t the market favourite because of the once-raced Godolphin runner. Rocket Boy was third in a Listed race at Salisbury […]

No winners on Friday, with a potential excuse for Woven, but none for Thickthorn Tom. I don’t think you can say that Thickthorn Tom didn’t stay the extra distance; he was just beaten by the better horse. The winner was well-supported in the market, and looked the winner for at least the final three furlongs. Woven was possibly a tad […]

Both fancies on Thursday were backed at shorter prices than when advised, but both missed the places. Cindy Lou Who had the position to be competitive, but she didn’t show a turn of foot when required. I wouldn’t say she wilted inside the final furlong, so the trip definitely wasn’t the reason for not being placed. Miss Tonnerre also lacked […]

Comic Hero was a non-runner, which meant we were down to just Quebella at Bath. Quebella gave herself no chance after being as keen as she was, but Jamie Spencer was never going to give her a chance anyway. It pains me when a jockey can’t adapt to a different ride on the fly. It was clear as day that […]

We were down to one runner on Tuesday after Fortamour was a non-runner at Ripon. Like Monday, the Sir Mark Prescott horse drifted and doubled in price. He was off the bridle before swinging for home and didn’t make any inroads. It was a relatively underwhelming performance, and I won’t be in a hurry to back him again. Quebella 4/1 […]

Despite the rain coming down at Cartmel, my original thought about the favourite being too good was true. Shallow River went from travelling well to being in the second-to-last spot in a matter of strides. In future, I need to trust my gut instead of overthinking scenarios. However, we did get a winner at Southwell earlier in the day. I […]

When I saw the rain bucketing down at Beverley, I thought Al Shabab Storm was going to have a huge chance on ground he was proven on, but that wasn’t the case. He broke well from a relatively wide stall and had every chance of winning from the position he was put in by the young jockey. He got tired […]

Rizz had no time on Saturday night to cover a Lucky 15 bet for Sunday’s racing.  Cairnzy has offered to step in and do a Lucky 15 bet for Monday’s card. Majestic Dane 10/3 – Ripon 3.40 This is a pretty open contest, but the horse that stood out to me was the twice-raced Majestic Dane. My selection is trained […]

Aside from Rhoscolyn not running particularly well, the other two were beaten by outsiders of the field. Desert Shadow lost his race by being too keen, and that’s the only factor. He got no cover and was pulling his head in every direction. The horse has so much ability; he cruised to the lead, and when Oisin asked him to […]

Lexington Blitz 11/2 – Goodwood 4.55 I think this could be one of the best races on Saturday, and you could easily give a chance to any of the horses. Lexington Blitz was the one I thought would come out on top. Downhill tracks like Goodwood and Epsom are what Lexington Blitz is all about, so you can ignore the […]

Saturday’s Racing Tips – Desert Shadow Can Leave Rivals in the Dark

Posted on: 28 Aug 2026

Both of Friday’s horses ran to an okay level, but ultimately not good enough. I think that both horses are still in the grip of the handicapper, and if they continue to drop, they will be winning races in the near future. I’d happily play the pair of them again, if they get the variables they need. Rhoscolyn 11/2 – […]

Friday’s Racing Tips – Ruby’s Profit Can Boost the Bank Balance

Two runner-up finishes were the result on Thursday, which is always a kick in the teeth. Haaderr gave a better account than Blue Hercules, but both were beaten by the better horses. Haaderr didn’t sit as close to the pace as I thought/hoped. He was a little keen through the early stages, and never really looked like he was going […]

Thursday’s Racing Tips – Blue Hercules Ready to Flex His Muscles

Posted on: 26 Aug 2026

One runner-up finish and one win were the end products of Wednesday’s racing. I managed to tune in to the middle of Cloud Forest’s race, and I thought he ran a perfectly respectable race. He came under pressure a little sooner than I’d have hoped, but he stuck to his task and finished second to a very good winner. Lion […]

Class 6 racing happened again at Musselburgh. By that I mean the fancied horse (Amber Hamur) was defeated by two much higher-priced horses, with a 22/1 horse in second place, which cements my opinion of poor-quality racing. Fast Fred had no excuses in his race, which I can handle all day long. He returned us a small amount of profit, […]

Superstorm was given a better ride than the other tip, but was beaten by a 22/1, which sums up Class 6 racing in a nutshell. I don’t have anything to complain about with Superstorm. He had every chance to win, and battled hard when the last challenger came, but was beaten in a very tight finish. It just stings a […]

Orthodox and many others in the race at Deauville struggled, but the winner looked like a superstar. They all sat off the leader, who was intended to be a pacemaker. The problem was that the leader didn’t come back to them, but the winner showed an immense turn of foot, which the others lacked. I cursed Havana Anna by saying […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 wasn’t great, with just one horse being placed. Saber Strike was the only horse to place, and if you were to look at him for 80% of the race, you’d have thought he had no chance. He had no chance of winning, as the winner was lightyears clear of him, but he took second spot. Lady Vivian […]

Lake Forest ran a decent enough race, but didn’t have the turn of foot that the winner showed. Fair play to the winner; he is a proven Group 1 horse over the years, and he enjoyed every inch of those seven furlongs. Dorigo was under the pump from the beginning, so the fact he got as close as he did […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from York & Chester

Posted on: 21 Aug 2026

Saber Strike 10/1 (4pl) – York 1.50 I get the feeling that this could last chance saloon for a lot of supporters of Saber Strike. For a horse who had great whispers about him when he had a couple of runs, that he was a monster on the gallops and would be a monster sprinter, it hasn’t worked out that […]
