McManus Pair Looks Primed For Cheltenham Joy
Few racing owners are as revered as JP McManus when it comes to a willingness to put down money behind their Cheltenham Festival hopefuls. The hugely successful Irishman has long been a thorn in the side of bookmakers and, in stories that are ingrained in Cheltenham folklore, McManus has struck fear into the hearts of those on the rails with…

After last week’s debacle on the tipping front which I can only apologise for I can only hope that today we see a turn in fortunes and that the coffers are replenished somewhat. That said although there are 2 televised races that really interest me the Gigaset International at Ascot and the Sky Bet Dash at York these are real…

Some days racing really stand out although we have probably been spoilt over the last few weeks with the classy races on offer, however today it seems a little bit like a non-event in comparison to me although that’s not to say that there is not a bet or two to be had! If you read my posts (and I…

Like a child at Christmas I have been up since 3.00 this morning studying and analysing the form of today’s racing and what a day we have with big field handicaps at Newmarket, York and Ascot which are manna from heaven for me!

July Festival – Day Two Preview
What cracking racing we have on the second day of the Newmarket July meeting with the Quipco Falmouth Stakes heading a tremendous 7 race card. However the 2 big handicaps the Betfred Mobile at 3.45 and the Silver Bunbury Cup at 4.55 are the races that really interest me along with the intriguing and quality Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at…

A rare day off the racing for me yesterday as I went to see one of the best rock bands ever The Who in Hyde Park London. This is not the first time that I have seen them but again they were totally awesome and blew me away, they certainly know how to entertain and had the audience rocking with…

Royal Ascot – Day Five Preview
So today sees the final day of the Royal meeting and there is again a wealth of top class racing to get your teeth into. Yesterday was a shade disappointing for me on the betting front as although I came out of the day just a shade down thanks to Future Empire running in to a place in the last…

Royal Ascot – Day Four Preview
I didn’t have a bet on the opener but was a little bit disappointed with King Of Rooks who came to win the race but wasn’t quite good enough and was beaten by a couple of better horses on the day. The Tercentenary saw my top two rated Time Test and Peacock come home first and second in that order,…

With day two of the Royal meeting now done and dusted it is time to reflect on my days, investments and a look at how the system and the ratings performed. Looking at the opener the Jersey Stakes and little return here for me courtesy of Fadhayill who ran a great race to finish second and may well have got…

So with day one of the Royal meeting now well and truly over it’s time to take a look at the results and how the system performed.

The best meeting of the year bar Cheltenham of course and I am going to be stuck behind a desk for the next few days undertaking an annual company audit which I couldn’t get out of, typical!

So where do I start today, some highly competitive handicaps that look very appealing indeed! Musselburgh for example hosts the William Hill Scottish Sprint Cup this afternoon where a field of 17 are due to go to post over the minimum trip. Despite the number of runners I can look no further than Red Baron who has been running oh…

A usual Saturday’s fare with a feast of top class racing today at Haydock, Newmarket and York including the Royal Ascot bound Limato who puts his 100% record on the line in the Sandy Lane Stakes at the Merseyside track this afternoon. You can be nothing but be impressed with the way that this Henry Candy trained 3 year old…

I am not a great fan of the early part of the flat season as I like to see the form settle down a bit with horses having a run or two under their belts and the results having a more reliable look about them. The Epsom Derby meeting is my usual indicator that the season has moved in to…

Saturday’s Preview – Two To Side With Today
“Could do better” is my take on my system selections on the flat recently so I have spent a few hours this week analysing and tweaking the criteria and scoring data slightly so to hopefully show some improvement on the current selections and returns. Although results are by no means a disaster I have now introduced a new race rating…

Totescoop6 Victoria Cup
What a disaster last week was with my selection Ol Man River running no sort of race and finishing a long way tailed off last, there was something clearly amiss with him! To add insult to injury my top rated horse Gleneagles which didn’t meet my price criteria and was therefore overlooked won like a very good animal indeed and…
