Hopefully followers may of backed Dubai Future yesterday at Meydan.  It is really competitive  racing in all the races at the winter carnival meetings in the UAE,  as the prize money is so good.  Not too much catches my eye at the race meetings today.

With plenty of meetings tomorrow to go at.  I am going racing at Kempton so hopefully I can find a winner.

More tomorrow.

Apologies for no recent blog posts.  I have been doing a lot of travel over the last week.

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  Felix 2.50 Lingfield was advised in the morning, fluctuating in price through the day, he returned at 9/4.  This gelding is improving, he was given a very patient ride by Hollie Doyle, who is riding with great confidence.  I actually thought in running Hollie had given the leaders a bit of leeway, but her mount really quickened at the business end, to score a shade cosily.

Todays card’s look pretty tough.  Dubai Future 2.30 Meydan could well be the pick of the Saeed Bin Suroor pair.  He won well last time at Kempton on an artificial surface, but he is a winner on grass, and is the least exposed in this very competitive 12 furlong handicap.

More tomorrow.

Travelling again today, back in Guernsey now.  I went racing to Wolverhampton last week, it was a long way to get to the track, the horse I’ve got an interest in was second, beaten only about half a length, after being hampered in the latter stages of the race, unlucky not to win, but there is always another day.

I was pleased to get a good winner yesterday for my subscribers, Suedois 5.25 Meydan got the job done by a diminishing nose, advised at 6/1 in the morning, he was well supported into 9/2 at the off.  So not much more to report on today’s evening card, hopefully I can manage to find a winner tomorrow, a few entries I like the look of, weather looks wet, so cautious betting on grass, unless the selection is a mudlark.

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  Batchelor Boy 1.55 Wolverhampton, was advised at 2/1 in the morning, he managed to get the victory, returned at 7/4.

I have been doing a bit of travelling, hence the blog posts have been quiet.  Today has some decent cards, especially in Dubai at Meydan. Finding winners is not easy at the track, very competitive and lots with chances in each race.  Dream Castle 3.40 could be cherry ripe for his 2020 debut, he is previous course winner, and would be my idea of the one to beat.

More later.

10 January 2020

Quite an early start today.  Racing at Sedgefield starts at 12.15, on ground described as soft, Good to soft in places.  Brian Hughes could get a winner on Titus Bolt in the first race.  A decent second 7 days ago at Mussleburgh, was a good effort.  He may well go one better here. At 2.00 Espoir De Loire has a solid chance, despite jumping slightly left when winning last time at Mussleburgh, he got the victory.  Todays left haded track will more ideal, and hopefully he will not give as much ground away going this way, he has not been sent on the long journey by his shrewd handler for some northern air !

Huntingdon has been abandoned.  At Wolverhampton this evening, Foresee 4.10 has a good chance of winning, really consistent form of late, and form at the track.

9 January 2020

Four races already over at Newcastle.  At 3.00 Pitchers Point will try and recoup some of his hefty selling price as a yearling, $800,000 is a lot of cash, but his trainer seems to like to send some of his nice horses to the northern track.  Enable started her career here, this race could be quite warm, as London Arch was a good second on debut, he will not go down easily. The final race at 4.05 looks a penalty kick for Clareyblue.  Meydan in Dubai has the second meeting of their winter carnival.  A few useful horses racing today.  Benbatl 4.15 should have a simple task of winning.  A good field line up in the last race over 1 Mile, a handicap.  It looks like it will go to a Godolphin trained horse, difficult to know which one of the three !

More later.

8 January 2020

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  I advised backing Masters Legacy on Monday evening, when he was 13/8. Heavily backed through the day, he bolted up in the 1.00 Taunton, ending up at 8/11 !  Really pleased to get value, and take a few quid off the bookies.

Todays racing is already under way.  I’m having satellite signal problems, so currently having to place a bet, to be able to watch the races ! I just backed Rathbone at 10/1 in the 1.30 Newcastle.  He did really well to finish second, after being given a very average ride by Tom Eaves.  The opposite to the winner Glen Shiel, who was given a really good ride by Hollie Doyle, who is riding really well, and has been for a long time.  She stole a race on Saturday at Lingfield, beating one I had backed there ! Maybe I need to follow her rides a bit closer.  Some good races today at Newcastle.  The 2.00 sees Astro Jack turn out again, 24 hours after winning yesterday at Southwell.  He absolutely dotted up there, and will be hard to beat today.  Union 3.30 has been well backed, at 10/11 now, I will watch him, but he is the likely winner.  I’ve got a couple tonight I am backing at Kempton, both have eased in price, so I’ve just backed them again.

More later.

Just about to leave the paddock at Southwell for the 4.15.  I thought Sea Sculpture would be one with strong claims in this, although it is its first try on the surface.  At 4.45 I have backed Moonraker, he needs to get a good break, as he missed the start last time.  Over the 5f trip it is very crucial to get a good start.

I do-like a horse tomorrow, I will see what price it is in an hour or so, hopefully it will be an ok price and bit of value, I think it will be hard to beat.

More tomorrow.

4 January 2020

Plenty of racing today.  Good to get a winner earlier for my subscribers.  Cable Speed 12.40 Lingfield, scooted away in the last furlong, a slight drift to 11/8, but never really looking in danger.

I thought Gunnery 3.35  Sandown was an easy winner last time.  He could be the one to be with in a quite competitive race.  At Kempton 6.10 Stanford has been running well.  I like his rider, and this horse has the right profile for this event, the drop to 7f should not be too much of an issue.

More tomorrow.

3 January 2020

I advised backing Field Of Dreams 6.30 Wolverhampton yesterday (without Strawberry Jack) he was 15/8 at the time, a massive drifter through the day, but it didn’t stop him running a good second to Strawberry Jack, so a winning selection for my subscribers.

Today has two flat meetings in the UK on the all weather, Wolverhampton and Southwell.  Nelson River 2.05 has been withdrawn, making it a penalty kick for Clap Your Hands, he has been improving with racing this last few months, a very easy winner last time. A couple of horses I like later today, I’m just awaiting a bit of information on a couple of things.  A later start for Southwell, Aleef 615 should give a solid account of himself, Samovar is a course winner, but possibly is more effective over 5f than todays 6f trip.

More tomorrow.
