Saturday 24th October

You know when you’ve put your foot in it, and I sure did yesterday when suggesting that the 3yos weren’t perhaps quite up to it – they were a nk and a nk too good for my selection! Let’s hope I have better fortune today! Doncaster 14.40 Cl 2 Handicap 123 (87.6) 5f sf – 11 Run Last year – Meeting aba...

Friday 23rd October

Got them the wrong way round last Saturday, but quite chuffed as I rarely get an Irish-trained winner. See if I can carry on the good work in the sprint at Doncaster. Doncaster 14.40 Cl 2 Handicap 118 (91.1) 6f gf/sf – 12 Run 3yo – 1lb wfa allowance Last year – 124 (91.4) hv – 12 ran Bielsa 5/1 F 4-...

Saturday 17th October

Not a day that I enjoy, as there is a dearth of handicaps. Still, we’ll do what we can at Catterick and the final one at Ascot, but I do think my little streak of winning days may be coming to an end! Catterick 15.25 Cl 2 Handicap 124 (89.3) 5f sf – 10 Ran Last year – 218 (89.9) 5f sf = 14 ran Count...

Monday 12th October

Good thinking Martin, I'm afraid the weight put me off! A rarity, a Monday handicap. No apologies for Saturday, that’s the way it goes sometime, and I still don’t fancy it!! Fortunately we got the favourite at York. Musselburgh 14.30 Cl 2 Handicap 124 (85.3) 7f gd/sf – 12 ran (11 at best) 3yo = 2lbs...

Saturday 10th October

Well, a welcome start to the weekend with an 11/1 winner, although I was fortunate that the well-backed runner-up didn’t quite get his head in front. Today’s the Cesarewitch, and it’s not the easiest of handicaps to solve, while I’m a little wary at York where my selection appear a little obvious. A...

York Friday 9th October

Last Saturday got well and truly screwed up with Ascot being off, so we’ll try and get a bit of Friday luck at York, not that I’m over keen on these. Still, need the practice for tomorrow! York 14.05 Cl 2 Handicap 187 (89.8) 8f sf – 20 Run Last year – 156 (91.1) sf – 15 ran Crownthorpe 12/1 4-8-9 (9...

Saturday 26th September

Twenty-nine horses running a straight nine furlongs, I must be mad. No time for anything else, so really it’s a weekend off as if any of the five; let alone the three, makes the frame I’ll be happy! Newmarket 15.35 Cl 2 Handicap 747 (96.8) 9f gd – 29 Run 3yo = 5lbs wfa allowance Last year – 996 (95....

Saturday 19th September

Just goes to show that when you least expect, up pops a winner. Having got one yesterday, I don’t expect one today! Newbury 14.15 Cl 2 Handicap 249 (92.0) 10f gd – 13 Run 3yo = 5lbs wfa allowance Last year – 436 (96.0) gd/fm 13 ran Caradoc 5/1 4-9-0 (95) Dr 4 by 0.5l from Great Example 10/1 3-8-10 (...

Friday 18th September

No luck yesterday where the winner was the one I omitted from my final three! And today is not a day where I will enjoy the racing, as the Newbury race is a virtual washout and the Ayr Bronze Cup is not really a race to be serious about. Maybe we’ll do better tomorrow. Newbury 2.30 Cl 2 Handicap 123...

Ayr Thursday 17th September

Nice easy handicap I thought, but with studying there’s a sting in the tail. Hope I’ve got it right! Ayr 15.00 Cl 2 Handicap 118 (88.7) 10f gd/sf – 12 Run 3yo = 5lbs wfa allowance Last year – 156 (91.8) gd – 10 ran Certain Lad 11/4 F 3-9-7 (98) Dr 9 by 0.25l from Nicholas T 15/2 7-9-10 (96) Dr 1 Gla...
