Saturday’s Racing Tips – Binhareer looks a class above in the Grey Horse handicap

Posted on: 15 Aug 2025

Dalmally was punted off the boards in the penultimate race at Epsom, but couldn’t get the job done. David Probert couldn’t calm the horse, and the horse just wanted to go faster. That is the reason why he went for home as early as he did. In hindsight, not going from the front and getting cover might be the way […]

Friday’s Racing Tips – Marlay Park seeks a fifth course win on the Downs

Posted on: 14 Aug 2025

The Racing League continued to be a bloodbath for me this year. Hinchinbrooke was given a strange ride by SDS. He rushed the horse towards the front third of the field, then the horse became very keen, and then he let him come back slowly. Being on the inside at Windsor is not the place to be, unless you have […]

Thursday’s Racing Tips – Three fancies for week four of the Racing League

Posted on: 13 Aug 2025

After a good couple of days and plenty of near misses, today was a reality check. I went for a couple of bigger-priced horses, and it didn’t work out. Fernando was backed in the market, as I expected. He looked to be going well from the front, but got swallowed up and went backwards very quickly. Leap Day just wasn’t […]

Wednesday’s Racing Tips – Fernando can win on his second start for the Edward Smyth-Osbourne stable

Posted on: 12 Aug 2025

I’m sticking this up early, as I do think the odds might drop on Fernando.  Usually, I like to wait till all selections have run. However, Temper Trap runs at 8.40 pm in the last race at Hamilton, and that’s a long wait. Arrange ran earlier in the day and should have won. For a seven-year-old with so much experience, […]

Arabian Poet made it two 2pt wins in just as many days. Full marks to Dougie Costello, who made the decision to get to the front and dictated the pace perfectly. The horse was tenacious and was headed in the homestraight but showed his stamina by plugging on. Bishop’s Crown was weak in the market, broke slowly out of the […]

Monday’s Racing Tips – Arabian Poet still looks an attractive bet even without Buick in the saddle

After three seconds in a row during the weekend, it was nice to walk away with a winner. Belgravian was given a confident ride by Jason Watson. I wasn’t sure about it, but he knew he had a very well handicapped horse underneath him, despite the market drift. Lorna B finished in second place. She has been such a straightforward […]

We were definitely a tad unlucky not to walk away with one winner on Saturday. Hawksbill was backed into favouritism in the last race at Haydock, got the dream run through and travelled like the best horse. Unfortunately, he couldn’t put the race to bed and didn’t manage to pass the front runner, who was tough as nails. He lost […]

Sunday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Haydock

Posted on: 09 Aug 2025

Three unplaced horses saw Saturday’s Lucky 15 go down like a lead balloon. Gorak was the only horse to cover himself in any credit, with a third-placed finish at Haydock. The other horses were shoddy. First Legion put in a weird performance in France, and John Barleycorn looks like a real donkey. Boston Run was fancied in the market and […]

Saturday’s Racing Tips – Hawksbill needs to relax to realise his full potential

Posted on: 08 Aug 2025

Warren Fentiman definitely didn’t get the memo for his ride on Sax Appeal. He’s still a very young jockey, so mistakes do happen. However, being on a horse who stays half a furlong further than yesterday’s trip meant that he had to go a strong pace. He did the opposite, set a slow gallop off an uncontested lead and then […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Haydock, Newmarket and Deauville

Posted on: 08 Aug 2025

Saturday is a busy day of racing. There is the Shergar Cup, if that is something you’re interested in. That meeting isn’t something I like to get involved in, so I’ve opted for a couple of the other UK meetings and I also had a look at France. Today’s Lucky 15 is advised an each way bet. Boston Run 15/2 […]

Friday’s Racing Tips – Front running tactics will pay dividends for Sax Appeal backers

It’s fair to say the Racing League didn’t go as planned for the three selections. Sword was held up in last place. That was not the ideal place to be. The race unfolded from the front, and any horse trying to make up ground from the back had no chance. Brian put in an awful performance. I’m not sure if […]

Thursday’s Racing Tips – Hornsea Bay can capitalise on being 3lb ahead of the handicapper at the Racing League

Posted on: 06 Aug 2025

Novello Lad managed to win at Pontefract, proving David Noonan was on the correct Midgley horse. It was nice to see him win for me after he had beaten a previous selection, and lose by a head when previously tipped. The fast pace was key, as was the stiff finish. Luckily, he got the gaps when he needed them and […]

Wednesday’s Racing Tips – Marathon trips look well suited for the unexposed New York Minute

Posted on: 05 Aug 2025

Both of Tuesday’s runners had to settle for second place. The fact that both horses finished as runner-up definitely flatters their performances. Both horses weren’t great, especially Condotti, but they ran very similar races. Road To Wembley was thumped by the favourite, who was well-supported from when the markets opened. The favourite was well-handicapped on old pieces of form, so […]

Tuesday’s Racing Tips – Road To Wembley can break his maiden on turf at the seventh attempt

Posted on: 04 Aug 2025

The main tip of the day didn’t shine and wasn’t strong in the market after being tipped. Takteek was poor on stable debut for James Owen, who normally does very well with newcomers to his yard. I’m sure over time he’ll get it right with this horse, but they didn’t do me any favours at Carlisle. Radio Star was also […]

Celandine got done in a head bob at Chester, losing in a photo finish. She didn’t go to the front, and the Chester specialist, Roman Dragon, got to the front and dictated. She looked in with a real chance turning for home when she picked up nicely, but the winner kept finding and got his head down on the line […]

Teed Up ran a decent race to finish in the place at the Galway Festival. His jumping wasn’t the best throughout, which definitely didn’t help his chances. The ride was a bit iffy, going wide all race, covering much more ground was another reason to take into account. The place money resulted in the tiniest of profits, but it was […]

Saturday’s Racing Tips – A second win of the week is on the cards for Galway specialist Teed Up

A further two duds on Friday to continue the poor Glorious Goodwood Festival. Zinc White never got going and never looked like winning. No excuses for him as he had his ideal ground and showed that he handled the track on his previous run at Goodwood. Tribal Chief crawled out of the stalls, and that’s something you can’t get away […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Glorious Goodwood

Posted on: 01 Aug 2025

Saturday sees the end of Glorious Goodwood. I’ve looked at the other meetings, but nothing stood out as an each-way selection for Saturday’s Lucky 15. Today’s Lucky 15 bet is being advised as an each-way Lucky 15. Artistic Star 16/1 (4pl) – Goodwood 1.55 French Duke was the first horse I saw and thought about backing. He was a selection […]

Friday’s Racing Tips – Glorious Goodwood Day 4 Selections

Posted on: 31 Jul 2025

Day three of Glorious Goodwood wasn’t all that glorious. The performance of Parole d’Oro was shoddy to say the least. Ryan Moore didn’t get too animated on the horse in the opener, but he probably knew there was no point in asking. It wasn’t a great viewing, but the horse needed to make up plenty of ground, which was never […]

Thursday’s Racing Tips – Glorious Goodwood Festival Day 3 selections

Posted on: 30 Jul 2025

Ryan Moore showed that the cream always rises to the top on day two of the Glorious Goodwood Festival. Ryan managed to land the first three race, one being a dead-heat. He gave Omni Man an absolute peach of a ride. Thankfully, the race unfolded as I had imagined, and Omni Man was produced late to capitalise on a solid […]

Wednesday’s Racing Tips – Glorious Goodwood and Galway Festival selections

Posted on: 29 Jul 2025

Day one of the Glorious Goodwood festival didn’t go to plan. I think we can count ourselves unlucky on day one. Easy Peeler was very restless in the preliminaries and got very warm. She didn’t settle through the race, and I think all the misbehaving showed in the final 1.5f as she weakened very quickly. Unfortunately, I don’t have a […]

Tuesday’s Racing Tips – Glorious Goodwood Day 1 Selections

Posted on: 28 Jul 2025

Cairnzy messaged me yesterday and said he had a couple of fancies, so he took over for Monday’s thread. His main selection was a winner, tipped up at 7/4. The William Haggas long-distance runner made the worthwhile trip up to Ayr. He was backed into EVS and won by 0.75L, staying on well at the finish to beat Hornsea Bay. […]

Sunday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Pontefract and Uttoxeter

Posted on: 26 Jul 2025

Saturday’s Lucky 15 bet turned into a Patent, which seems to be the usual thing – one of the horses was placed; the other two were useless. Advised bet as a straight win Lucky 15. Louie The Legend 7/2 – Pontefract 2.25 I thought this race was quite hard to work out. By that I mean deciding whether the horses […]

Apologies for the lacklustre runs at Ascot on Saturday. Flowerhead didn’t run to the same level as she did at Royal Ascot. The pace held up quite well at Ascot yesterday, and the winner went from the front and wasn’t to be caught. Aalto was horrendous. Buick made the decision to go to the stands’ side after being drawn on […]

Saturday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Ascot, York and Chester

Posted on: 25 Jul 2025

Like most of the Saturdays during the flat season, we have some good quality races with plenty of strong handicaps. Saturday’s Lucky 15 bet is advised as an each-way bet. Royal Dress 4/1 (4pl) – Ascot 2.20 I don’t think hanging your hat on Royal Dress to turn up in the same form as last time is the smartest idea, […]
