Weekly Eye-catchers – Horse Racing
Well that’s another Festival finished for another year but there are still plenty of horse racing’s summer/autumn festivals to come with the St Léger meeting at Doncaster and the Western meeting at Ayr in September.

Another short article with just the four horses for your trackers this week. Last weekends’ horse racing wasn’t the highest in terms of quality but there were a couple of performances that stood out and I will look at those later.

A shorter article than normal this week as there wasn’t much top class horse racing to look back at last week or over the weekend with the Shergar Cup taking centre stage. Love it or loath it the Shergar Cup does attract a decent crowd with 30,000 in attendance. As for betting it’s really not a meeting that I take…

However, we have plenty to look forward to with the King George at Ascot on Saturday quickly followed by Glorious Goodwood and the Galway Festival. Those who like the summer jumping were…

Well “Super Saturday” or as I prefer to call it “Saturated Saturday” is over for another year. I don’t have the time to write in detail as to why I think it’s bad for horse racing but suffice to say it’s not in the interest of punters. The only good thing about Saturday’s racing was the amount of potential tracker…

Newmarket July Meeting – Key Racing Trends
Although the Moet & Chandon July Festival at Newmarket doesn’t quite carry the same gravitas as Cheltenham or Royal Ascot, it is nonetheless classified as a big festival. As such, millions of pounds are likely to be wagered over the course of the three days so I’ve compiled a short guide on Newmarket trends designed to help you get an…

A shorter article than normal this week as I spent most of last week enjoying a bit of a break away from horse racing and only got back on Saturday lunchtime. Not sure about anyone else but I am getting tired with all the soft ground that is about. Most of my eyecatchers prefer quick summer ground and they are…

Plenty of racing this weekend but not much in the way of big races but on the other side of the Irish Sea, it was Irish Derby this weekend at the Curragh. I will have a brief look at the action from the Curragh later. Given the lack of top quality action in Britain I thought this was the ideal…

Well the sun is shining here, as it is if you had being following the eyecatchers last week with Duke Cosimo, landing a bit of a gamble at Ripon, backed into 5/1 and the filly Elbereth winning the big fillies & mares listed race at Nottingham at a generous 8/1. It got even better on Saturday as Blaine (8/1) landed…

There was really top class racing in Britain on Saturday with action from Haydock Newmarket, Goodwood and York.
