Despite a losing day yesterday we are still now over a hundred points up on the season which is front of target. However, we have yet to hit a really good run where we start to consistently build the bank by 15 – 20 pts a week. That is mainly because the same lack of…

I am posting this before the Day 2 action but really pleased with the Day 1 reports and results, going very much as planned apart from the first race which was ran at a farcical pace where the horses in the Kings Parade went quicker over the first 4 furlongs of the track than the…

Race 1 2.30 Queen Mary Stakes A huge market swing this morning has seen True Love 6/1 -3/1 usurp the unbeaten highly touted filly Zelaina 2/1-7/2 as favourite. This is a big day for Burke and could well set the trend for the rest of the meeting for the North Yorkshire based trainer. Aiden O’Brien…

2.30 Queen Anne. Our Bet Sardinian Warrior has unfortunately been withdrawn having been found off colour on the eve of the big day. We still have Lake Forest running for us at around 12/1. Don’t be surprised if Docklands outruns his odds of 20/1 he has the form link for Sardinian Warrior. I want to…

Race 1 2.30 Queen Mary Stakes The withdrawal of Lady Iman has left this race completely wide open and without really knowing how much these 2yo’s will come forward over the last couple of weeks it is difficult to get any handle on the race. Aiden O Brien has yet to win this race whereas…

Race 1 2.30 Queen Anne Stakes A race largely covered in our Ante Post report and bet on Sardinian Warrior at 12/1. Thankfully the make up of the race has not changed since I wrote this up on the 25th May 2025. Sardinian Warrior has shortenend into around 7/1 and Lake Forest is available at…

Solar Aclaim didn’t eat up this morning so has been pulled out of the Hamilton race this afternoon – no damage done as of course the money is refunded. The Haggas team had two winners we didn’t back yesterday. Castle Cove took my Economics comment to heart and won without any bother defying top weight…

Not much I can say about the ride on KissKodi. Somehow allowed the horse to become unbalanced and then got stuck in behind forced to switch and got beat a fast diminishing head. It happens but when you get 11/4 about an 11/8 that gets beat by a 25/1 shot it hurts. Come back Kaiya…

The William Haggas team have 8 runners on Saturday and one of there best chance of success is with Maelstrom in the days most valuable contest the Macmillon Sprint at 3.35, ridden by Adam Farrager This is annually one of the most competitive 3yo sprint handicaps of the season, and the yard also run Showering…

Friday at first glance looks to be full of opportunities but the three or four i was assessing have all been dealt really bad draws that negates any possibility of them being a bet for us. I will run through the Haggas runners of which there are surprisingly only 4 on the day. None of…
