Heartiest congratulations
OMG I wonder how those 2 bets that I placed on the Irish Grand National just before midnight last night fared? Rogue Angel (33/1) WON by a short head at 16/1 and Folsom Blue (28/1) came 4TH at 20/1 – that’s how they fared! I’ve been back and checked it again as I’ve typed this,…

Well done to all the Team at Cleeve, Excellent selections and analysis of Sunday’s Irish National. Today’s excitement more than makes up for doing the wife’s Christmas present and New Year sales money in on the nags!

Hi everyone, Our selection today was one of many non runners at Plumpton. We didn’t put up an alternative as the race ended up with only 7 runners. We hop over the the emerald isle for the Irish Grand National. This is a fascinating renewal with Gordon Elliot saddling 8 runners which is nearly a third…

Hi everyone, A blank day today. Bella was being pushed along from 3 out and was never in the mix, ironically it was the other Pipe runner in Lady of Longtsone that obliged at 20/1. We hit the bar with The Cobbler Swaine who could only manage to stay on one pace to finish just…

Read More2016 Cheltenham Festival review
Hi everyone, Well another festival is over and now that we have all managed to draw breath after what was a truly remarkable weeks racing let’s have a look what happened. The festival had everything for me…. historic losses for bookmakers who were battered by well supported horses on each of the 4 days…. Annie Power…

Hi everyone, Well that’s another Cheltenham over and it feels like the first day back at work after the excitement of Christmas. When things aren’t going well this is a gruelling job and after Thursday’s racing I felt pretty drained (why oh why after banging on about Thistlecrack all year did I not have him antepost?),…
Read MoreCleeve members selections – Cheltenham day 4
Hi everyone Well we a couple of placed horse but no luck elsewhere today and we think we have been a little unlucky with Garde La Victoire falling, Kilcooley uncharacteristicly jumping badly and La Vaticane being a non runner who we thought was a typical Pipe plot horse. All we need now is a suffragette…
