One win from the three Saturday selections was definitely not good enough, but it reduced the damage. More Thunder managed to win in a head bob in the Bunbury Cup. I thought if he got a clear run, he’d win that race quite comfortably, but he made a meal out of it. He got a clear run on the inside […]

It was a shame to see another non-runner ruin the Saturday Lucky 15 bet. Existent was a non-runner, which turned the Lucky 15 into a Patent bet. All of the three remaining horses were placed, which returned a profit of double the stake. Today’s Lucky 15 bet is advised as an each-way Lucky 15. Quebella 9/2 (4pl) – Southwell 4.40 […]

Saturday has some very good racing on today, and there could probably be a lot more selections on both threads, but these are the four I’ve gone for on the Lucky 15. I am advising today’s Lucky 15 bet as an each-way Lucky 15 to capitalise on the enhanced places the bookies have on offer. Son Of Sarabi 7/1 (3pl) […]

Crepe Suzette is simply a horse who is hard to win with. He was given every chance by Tyler Heard, but lacks gears when the race heats up. The winner landed a third win in a row, and did catch the eye with Ray Dawson racing off a low weight. Tyler looked confident, turning for home, and maybe he should […]

Scandinavian was very impressive in the opening race at Newmarket, which was something I wasn’t expecting. The O’Brien horse turned on the jets inside the final furlong and pulled eight lengths clear of my selection in the race. Three furlongs from home, I thought Nightime Dancer was going to pass the eventual winner, but the winner had plenty up his […]

Rogue Endeavour was horrific at Ffos Las. The horse was very weak in the market. I expected the complete opposite, and for him to be very strong in the market. I actually can’t comprehend how he ran as badly as he did. Langholm was consistent as ever, but wasn’t up to matching the well-backed favourite who travelled nicely into the […]

I’m glad I didn’t opt for the obvious pick of Soprana in the Listed race at Pontefract. Imperial Quarter was my selection, and she ran well given the circumstances. Ray Dawson opted to anchor her in the last spot, which is never ideal, especially at Pontefract. She bridged a lot of the gap from those ahead of her, but she […]

Binhareer ran out a very cosy winner up at Ayr, improving William Haggas’ record at the track. The drift in the morning did make me think we had little chance of getting the win. But, once again, it shows that market movements don’t mean everything. Binhareer was tipped up at 5/2 and drifted out to 13/2, but still managed to […]

Thanks to Cairnzy for covering Sunday’s racing. He was given the poisoned chalice with the state of Sunday’s racing. His sole runner on the main thread saw a bit of money come in for him, but it wasn’t good enough to land the winning blow. Ultimately, he finished third, finishing behind the runner-up by a short head. The winner did […]

At least Friday’s runners came and did their job after a couple of near misses the last couple of days. The Judmonte double of Kassaya and Windlord both managed to get the job done, but didn’t do it in great fashion. Obviously, with how things have been going, complaining about how a horse wins it not something I’m going to […]

Last week’s Lucky 15 bets weren’t the greatest, and one came down to a double after two non-runners. I’ll be doing the Lucky 15 on Saturday, and Cairnzy will do Sundays as I am unable to do the racing for that day. Today’s Lucky 15 bet is advised as a straight win. Flying Frontier 5/1 – Sandown 5.15 Many in […]

After I saw the money coming in for Wheresmemoneygone, I did think there was a strong chance of landing both selections, but it wasn’t meant to be. Wheresmemoneygone was backed into 10/11F (there was a 35p rule 4), and he ran like the money suggested. They were very positive on him, and he pinged every fence, winning by around 20 […]

Wednesday was a day of runner-ups at Thirsk. Both selections had to settle for the runner-up spot; one could have won with a bit of luck, the other not so much. Arantes Nascimento was slightly backed in, as I expected. Tom Marquand’s horse didn’t travel as smoothly as I’d have hoped for, and got into top gear too late. He […]

After what felt like a lifetime, we got a winner in the form of Castle Stuart. It was a good ride by Sam James. He got the lead from one of the wider stalls and dictated the pace of the race. Fair play to the horse, as he was very game and kept battling when new challengers tried to go […]

Headmaster was another horse to finish second this month, after being run down by the winner late at Windsor. Tom made his decision early to get the lead from a relatively wide stall. In hindsight, he might have used too much petrol, but there was always a chance he wouldn’t get a run if he didn’t. I don’t think it […]

It appears that every horse I’ve backed in recent weeks hasn’t run great. I slated the form of Skukuza, and like normal, I’ve ended up with egg on my face. He was impressive in today’s race, but given I didn’t rate the field, he might be flattered. My fancy, Currawood, was honking. He was in the perfect position to pounce […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 was a total disaster, with two non-runners. It’s a strange decision to pull a horse out unless he scoped badly on the AW, but that’s what happened, as well as Habooba being an NR at York. The two runners who were left didn’t manage to win, but one definitely should have won. Dutch Finale was weak in […]

Crest Of Fire ran a solid race on his second start, but was beaten by an impressive Karl Burke newcomer. That’s the risk that is attached to races like that. Unless you’re in the know and have the inside scoop, newcomers can come along and put in good performances. The form from the Newbury race that Crest Of Fire was […]

The recent Lucky 15 bets haven’t been the greatest. Last week, there was only one on the weekend, which came at Royal Ascot. We had one good Lucky 15 during Royal Ascot; the rest were well below par. Hopefully, we can spin that around and land some winners on Saturday’s Lucky 15 bet. Habooba 7/2 – York 3.00 I was […]

There were a couple of poor rides on our Friday selections. Oisin got going on Novello Lad far too late, and by the time the horse was at top gear, the winner was lengths clear. Culligran was given a very strange ride. I know the ground was soft at Cartmel, but to go wide all race and then go wide […]

Mandana ran a solid enough race, but wasn’t good enough to land a blow on the handicap debutante. William Buick decided to go from the front, and he got an easy time with the lead. The filly was a little keen, but not over the top keen. She got headed a couple of furlongs from home, looked like she was […]

Thanks to Cairnzy for covering me over the last couple of days. I had some things pop up, which meant I couldn’t do Tuesday or Wednesday’s racing, but Cairnzy came in last minute to ensure you had a racing thread. With the recent bad form, it was probably good to get a small break away from the world of racing […]

Santorini Star was extremely disappointing in the Listed race at Pontefract. She had been competing in handicaps, so today’s race was a step up. She won her last handicap at Goodwood in good style, but struggled to bridge the gap. I didn’t think the race was that good, but the horses who had competed at the Listed level previously came […]

It was a very long week for me. Royal Ascot wasn’t a happy hunting ground this year. Despite a couple of winners in the final days, it is easily the worst Royal Ascot I’ve ever experienced. There’s no time to feel sorry for myself as we have plenty more flat racing to come this year, including some of the big […]

The final Group 1 for Royal Ascot is the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Ascot 3.40 – Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Group 1 Even though this is the final Group 1 of the week, it definitely looks like the most open Group 1 we’ve had all week. I think you can say the horses towards the head of the […]
