Weekly Eyecatchers – Horse Racing
A profitable Friday and Saturday for the Eycatchers as Woodford County, won Exeterâs Devon National on Friday at 8/1 and on Saturday Caroleâs Destrier won the staying handicap at Sandown at an SP of 5/1, bigger was available early in the day for those who grabbed the early prices. I seem to be doing best in 3m+ handicap chases at…

After a frustrating run it was good to see Entihaa win at Wolverhampton on Monday. I got on at 4/1 this morning and the value of taking early prices was reinforced as the horse was well backed into 9/4 at the off. As I said in last weeks column he âcan win again on his favourite surfaceâ Last weekend we…

Not many runners last week but one of my recent eyecatchers Rich Again ran at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening and shaped well again when finishing 4th. The six year old is becoming a very well handicapped horse in horse racing and must be backed next time out in my opinion! Another eyecatcher to run last week was Compton Bird. The…

Well the winners keep flowing out of the notebook and this is why we love horse racing! Aristo Du Plessies won twice at 5/1 and evens and on Saturday there was a fantastic 25/1 second at Doncaster courtesy of Jamaican Bolt and for a few strides in the final furlong I thought it was going to be another Chill The…

The Charlie Hills trained B Fifty Two put behind him a poor run last time out with a 14/1 win for the Eyecatchers at Doncaster on Saturday. It could have been an even better weekend as the same trainers Boomerang Bob was 4th on Friday at 20/1 and Green Light was a fast finishing 3rd at 14/1 at Doncaster. For…

Not many runners for the column last week although Arctic Feeling was a good winner at Catterick at 8/1 and Beautiful Romance was an excellent third in the Fillies & Mares on Championâs Day at 20/1. I mentioned in the recent free report the importance of keeping trainer comments about a horses future targets and this is what I wrote…

For those of you have subscribed to the Eyecatcher Pro tool you would have been delighted with a big winner at York as Shared Equity deservedly got his head in front, having run so consistently this summer. A 7/1 SP isnât to be sniffed at but hopefully you were on at 20/1 that was available in the morning with a…

On Saturday one of my previous eyecatchers, Thatcherite finally got the strong pace that he needs to get his head in front at Redcar. On a relatively quiet week on the eyecatchers front it was nice to get a 9/2 winner. As I mentioned last week the emphasis of my eyecatchers in October changes and this is reflected in this…

Not as many winners this week for the notebook but Karaka Jack won the Silver Cambridgeshire on Friday at 14/1. I had him in mind for a race next month at Redcar but this race cut up and it probably was about as competitive as the Redcar one will be. Itâs been a long time between drinks for Shootingsta who…

On Saturday there were three winners at Newbury: The Corsican won at 4/1, Steps at 11/4 and then to cap it all What About Carlo won at…

A quiet week but some nice winners including the Portland winner Steps at 12/1, Babyfact at 2/1 and Ribbons at 3/1. Itâs worth looking at the Portland in a bit more detail as it shows the power of putting horses in your notebook and backing them when they get their optimum conditions! There were three tracker horses running in the…

Another couple of winners last week for the eyecatchers with What About Carlo winning at Epsom at 13/2 and Whitman a 11/4 winner at Ripon. I tend to split the Turf Flat season into three sections: Spring horses (March to May). Summer horses (June to August) and the autumn horses (September & October). I do something similar for the National…

Eccleston was a well backed winner at 5/1 at Thirsk for the column last week on what was a fairly quiet week for the Eyecatchers. I am going to start by answering a couple of popular questions that I have been sent in recently by readers: 1. Do you have a view on how best to utilise your âeyecatchersâ? –…

On what wasnât the best of weeks for the column it has to be said. Chill The Kite was the standout performance, when winning at 20/1 at York and even if you had been backing all last weeks tracker horses blindly that win would have given you a healthy profit on the week. I have to say that I gave…

Mullionheir 7/1 was a winner for the eyecatchers at Newbury and Farquhar was a good second at the Newmarket also at 7/1. Before I look at this weekâs tracker horses, I did mention last week that I had a few more horses âdrinking in the last chance saloonâ and I would only be looking at them as bets under certain…

Another couple of winners came out of the notebook last week from only a handful of runners Bop It 4/1 at Haydock and Sharp Sailor 4/1 at Newmarket on Saturday, there was plenty of 7/1 available on Saturday morning about the latter. Once again it showed the importance of taking early prices about these horses if you are backing them.…

A couple of nice winners last week at Goodwood in Mount Logan 8/1, So Beloved 10/1 the latter being backed in from much bigger odds in the morning and Baraweez at Galway on Sunday. I have been asked do I back my tracker horses blind or do I set out some qualifying criteria? The simple answer is yes but with…

Another Look At Placepots
Today, as it’s the last day of Glorious Goodwood, I thought I would go back over a popular post from last year where I looked at Placepots and how best to play them. Using this technique we can half the cost of doing a perm and yet still cover all of our fancied horses. Here’s the first bit…. The placepot is…
