A small loss on Thursday evening thanks to the two non runners in Sharestan’s race, where he just held on after hitting the front too soon. We could have had seven selections on Saturday but that would have meant an outlay of over 15 points so I have decided not to include the following three:…

A decent card at Sandown with the Brigadier Gerard Stakes the highlight and we are playing in three races. This meeting at Sandown is one of my favourites and usually produces a few future winners for the notebook. I hope to be there tomorrow evening unless the weather deteriorates further.

A good win for Ambivalent today after some poor luck on Wednesday with two places. Navajo Chief then winning for Cleeve at York for the fourth time and that rounded profits up to over twenty points on the day. Only in action in two races on Friday, as the three year old Listed races at…

An interesting first day of the Dante meeting including the Musidora Stakes for the fillies. The ground should dry out as the week goes on so the original soft is likley to end up good to soft at worst.
