I am getting fed up of losing in photo finishes with two seconds and a winner today the frustration continues. As usual the racing in the UK on a Bank Holiday is a woeful collection of substandard races so we will go back over the Irish Sea to Fairyhouse and tackle the Irish Grand National.…

Another frustrating day with a slight loss although with early prices for Noble Legend it should have been a break even day. That would have been a lot better if Pepite Rose had not lost in a photo and Majestic Myles had managed to hold on for a place. Tomorrow we have selections in three…

Hopefully the weather will relent to allow racing over the Easter weekend and it is good to see the Lincoln has been rearranged. However one of our original selections does not run but we have an able replacement at a very big price. A decent meeting at Haydock but I have kept staking low in…

A trappy day with not a great deal of quality about and possibly the start of the turf flat season with Doncaster (snow permitting). I have a couple of selections for the Lincoln and two races at Newbury and hopefully both meetings will go ahead.

Hi there, Sorry for the lateness of this but after further review based on first hand experience of the conditions (Andrew is there and there is no change in the  going as no overnight rain) we have two more selections to add to the portfolio today… 14.05 – Shadow Catcher 1 point each way -…

Longer serving members will know I do not make excuses but state facts: We are well down on the week but the same happened last year and we ended up 36 points ahead. Today was the worst day in Cleeve history but: Stonemaster was cruising until Davy Russell suffered the onset of a collapsed lung…

Two winners in the first two races with Back in Focus our first three point bet getting up (just) to win and The New One doing pretty much as described and beating Pont Alexandre. The rest of the day was disappointing but we are in a profit situation which is always good – despite me…

A great start to the festival with Champagne Fever repelling the challenge from My Tent or Yours and as suggested the hill found the favourite out. Unfortunately apart from a couple of fifth places nothing else performed well and disappointing to see Grandouet falling. A profit on Day 1 albeit small but bigger if taking…

Well we are here at last on Cheltenham eve and with an icy chill and soft going it is not going to be easy. Hopefully we can start the Festival with a couple of winners and some money in the bank.

A reasonably quiet day with action from two races at Sandown. Like you most of my thoughts are now geared towards the start of the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday and the anticipation of the mighty roar for the start of the Supreme Novices Hurdle is building. Hopefully we can boost betting banks with two winners…
