Cleeve members selections – Goodwood Day5
Hi Everyone, just the one place today which knocked a dent in the forward momentum from yesterday. Our only return was from Donncha who finished a creditable third behind the well backed FranklinD Mount Logan ran out of steam at the 2 furlong marker and was never going to trouble the judge I was quite disappointed…

Hi everyone, We had a decent 3 points winner at 4/1 in Big Orange. He led from pillar to post and quickened nicely at the business end of the race to win by 1 1/2 lengths. That gave us a 9 points profit today which now puts us in front for the meeting. Our other…

Hi everyone we drew a blank last Saturday. There is not a lot to say about our first selection Grand Inquisitor. He was out the back and never got into the race and was very disappointing, didn’t look the same horse? Illuminate is becoming frustrating. She is obviuolsy a talented filly and has won at…
