The end to a frustrating month with seconds outnumbering winners and pretty much no luck throughout the month. Hopefully we can finish on a high with selections in five races from both Chester and Sandown. I m confident this gives us a decent chance of bouncing back.  It is a possibility that we might have…

A couple of bets for Bank Holiday Monday which will hopefully recover some losses from Saturday which was summed up by the loose horse blocking Rex Impreator in the first. We are backing in on race from Ripon and one from Epsom.

A frustrating day with Gospel Choir fading on the rain softened ground, Danadana would have won if the ground had remained quick (top rated City Style winning by a neck), Shea Shea was beaten half a length by Jwala (100/1+ on BF) but at least Ahzeemah came through having been advised at bigger odds. To…

Our replacement selection Windhoek just failed to hang on for the win and adds to the recent list of seconds! Secret Gesture ran well but couldn’t touch the Fugue returning to her best back amongst the girls. However we finished the day in style with Our Obsession and Dutch Rose both winning advised at much…

Typically top rated Bogart decides to come back to form and win and one of my favourites Declaration of War finally shows his best form! Toronado and Cap O’Rushes couldn’t have run any worse than they did. A poor day all round but I am pretty bullish about tomorrow’s selections. The highlight of tomorrow is…

A top class days racing to start the Ebor Fesitval and hopefully we can move recent seconds to firsts. We are involved in four races tomorrow and it is a pretty difficult day so stakes are being kept low. We are likely to have a couple of big stake bets before the end of the…

A quiet weekend with only two races where we are playing, but our selections are decent value, and hopefully we can get two winners to set us up for the what is going to be a busy Ebor meeting at York next week…

Noble Alan ran well enough to finish third which produced a small profit, so onto tomorrow and we are in action in three races at Haydock and Newmarket. I have avoided the Shergar Cup as it always disappoints with some of the overseas riders losing on rides they should win on.

Quite an unusual bet for us on Friday with us backing a ten year old on the Flat, but when you look and eliminate all others then you should back what is left. To quote Sherlock Holmes “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”. Hopefully my logic stands…
