It was nice to get a winner for my subscribers yesterday.  Smarty Wild 2.15 Exeter was a big drifter in the betting, he went from evens-9/4 ! But was a really easy winner.  I also advised followers to back Song Saa 3.30 Newcastle, another drifter in the betting, she was 2/1, so a good day for horses unfancied in the betting.

Todays racing has a pretty awful look to it at Lingfield, only 19 horses running in 6 races.  Lots of trainers and jockeys have tried to boycott the meeting due to the dismal prize money.  I am not totally sure what the answer is to this on-going problem.  But to be racing in 2019 for under £3500 is ridiculous.

I have not really looked at the fields much at the meeting today, as three races are match events. Fontwell runners is pretty bad today as well.   Away For Slates 4.10 is looking for his third win, he should have no trouble in getting the hat trick.

Tonight at Kempton the races are a lot more competitive, Ironclad has been well backed in the 6.00, he is having his first run, and will need to be above average to make a winning debut.  The best race of the night is the 7.00. Spanish Mission could run well at decent odds, he was impressive last season when winning over 10f.  The drop back to 1 Mile today is a slight concern, plus this is a decent race.
