Cleeve members selection – Saturday 1st August

Hi there, Vale Of Kent disappointed finishing 7th having led as expected and it confirms that he is needing to drop a few pounds before winning again. Sir Busker got no run at all and I will be backing him again, you do need some luck in running and Vale Of Kent ground to a…

Cleeve members selections – Friday 31st July

Hi everyone, we only had the one selection today where the card was dominated by two-year-old races. Our selection Fancy Blue ran a game race staying on well to win by a neck for us and as Basil Fawlty might have said: “we’ll have it stuffed and mounted”! I am hoping that we can follow…

Cleeve members selections – Thursday 30th July

Hi everyone, Lake Lucerne was almost pulled up by Frankie just over a furlong out when going well as he had to snatch her up when Be More went for a gap up the rails at the same time as Nkosikazi edged right. The stewards did look at the incident but decided that there was…

Eyecatcher Alert – Thursday.

Our eyecatcher last Sunday did not hit the minimum price for a bet and so did not qualify. Tiger Crusade went off a ridiculous 6/4 in a competitive class 3 handicap. Our value approach of not betting in this instance unless 4/1 was available paid off, as Tiger Crusade was beaten into third place. The…

Cleeve members selections – 29th July

Hi everyone, the first race of the day saw one of our selections Sky Defender finish second at 28/1 (SP 33/1) to his stable companion Maydanny, which looks like a Group performer. Our second selection in the same race Babbo’s Boy refused to race and the Stewards in their infinite wisdom said “Having reviewed the…

Cleeve members selections – 28th July

Hi everyone, we have Glorious Goodwood this week and let’s hope we can start to turn things around. After our analysis of past results and our current form, we have published the “Selection process update” where we have explained in broad-brush terms what we have found and what we will be implementing going forward. We…

Cleeve selection process update

Hi everyone, as you know we have been conducting an internal analysis to find the reasons why results have not been close to our usual standard. We have been at this game for a long time but recent results are very disappointing compared to previous years. As an example, January to December last year produced…

Cleeve members selections – Sunday 26th July

Hi there, Cliffs of Capri ran well for us today, after a bit of a steady start he travelled strongly and followed the favourite through a gap a furlong from home but was ultimately beaten by a well-handicapped horse who still looks progressive. Obaan was well tipped up and well-backed so we were not alone…

Eyecatchers to follow on the flat – part two.

Hello, we have another two eyecatchers to follow this 2020 flat season. We expect both to pay their way at class three and below. So take a look and see what you think. As always, when they are running in a qualifying race we will let you know in advance and whether it is a…

Cleeve members selections – Saturday 25th July

Hi everyone, It’s going to be a busy week with the King George tomorrow, although a poor turnout with just the 4 runners. Hopefully Enable will strut her stuff albeit to a very muted roar from the minimal crowd. Then we have another 6 races to look at on Sunday and Glorious Goodwood from Tuesday…
