Really pleased to get my subscribers a winner yesterday. Thistle Do Nicely 12:55 Wetherby was a ready winner, advised at 6/4, he was well backed into a shade of odds on.
Hopefully November can be a good month, October was a difficult month, it is tricky betting on the flat at the end of a long season, many horses are in need of a break, and can run well below par.
The Breeders Cup meeting at Churchill Downs last night was a good meeting for the horses from the UK. Enable won well last night under regular jockey Frankie Dettori, she is exceptionally good. Flamboyant Italian Dettori had earlier won the Breeders Cup Mile on Turf, on Expert Eye, he is trained by Sir Michael Stoute in Newmarket, and owned by the same owner as Enable, Khaled Abdullah from Saudi Arabia, so a real international bag !
Today racing looks pretty good in Ireland at Naas and Cork, where some strongly contested jump races, the 2:10, which is a Novice Chase will be a good race, Winter Escape has too find some improved form to beat likely favourite Robin De Foret, I think it will be a tight race. I was really impressed with Royal Illusion 4:25 Cork, she bolted in on her racecourse debut 19 days ago, she is short odds, but quite rightly so.
