Six days is a long time in racing and since Merchant’s win on Thursday its been a roller coaster ride for followers of the Haggas horses. Although, three or four have ran inexplicably poorly the majority have ran to form but generally without getting the touch of luck sometimes needed to turn narrow defeats into…

William Haggas sends out two in maiden events on Tuesday. Kinswoman is odds on at Brighton in the 3.30 and Forever Penywern is around 2/1 in the Beverley 4.15 It will be great to see Kinswoman get her win and secure her paddock value as she has given her all in her last three races…

After a highly charged roller coaster of a Royal Ascot week, we move into the guts of the flat season and from Wednesday a significant number of serious betting opportunities. For the Haggas yard the Royal Meeting provided one winner with the hugely impressive Merchant winning on Thursday. The rest of the meeting turned out…

A great Ascot with an amazing number of races that overall the results probably ended up just in a favour of the bookies. We were just over 15pts up which is fair enough given our biggest bet was balloted out and an unbelievable Saturday with 4 seconds beaten by 5/1 25/1 28/1 and 50/1 shots…

All the latest on the Haggas runners and the Ascot Markets… Yesterday was a poor day for the Haggas team.

William Haggas seems to target the first Friday meeting on the July Course at Newmarket. Specifically, with improving 3yo’s running in Handicaps where if in the first 4 in the market he has sent out 8 winners from 14 runners. He collected the two handicaps open to 3yo’s last season and a repeat looks on…

Race 1 2.30 AlbanyStakes Those of you that took my advice and did the O’Brien 2yo Accumulator are sitting with the first two ticked in the boxes going onto leg 3 with the Frankel filly Signora who was 6/1 when i made the suggestion on Wednesday morning. She is now into 5/2, but has more…

It has been almost impossible to get realistic prices before the morning of the races this week at Ascot and even then the bookmakers have slashed odds with only the smallest hint of serious cash being laid down. The gambles on several Wathnan runners have been incredible, (all lost), as has the money for Ralph…
