This time last season Haggas followers were dealing with a famine rather than a feast. The horses were struggling to find any sort of form and from 78 runners in May there were just 12 winners. 40 were sent off 1st and or 2nd favourite producing only 7 winners and from the 14 favourites only…

The dry warm spring has led to fast ground and consistent form lines. It is no surprise that the results have generally gone in favour of the race by race punters as well as from a pro gamblers point of view. The weather and fast ground looks likely to be with us for the foreseeable…

The opener at the Dante meeting due off at 2.10 on Wednesday has in recent years been targeted by the Haggas team. Two winners in the last 5 years both heavily backed 4yo’s making their seasonal reappearance. The only other two from the stable to contest the 12f event were Klondike who was poorly handicapped…

It is not uncommon for the Haggas team to withdraw horses from big races, if they are not spot on and that has been the case with Elmonjed ante post favourite for the Churchill Tyres Handicap 2.42 York Weds but not declared at the overnight stage. If drawn close to the far rail (low) he…

Although there will no bet on Monday and Tuesday is also unlikely I will be posting a bet for Weds at around about 12noon on Monday. The period from Weds through til Saturday will be potentially be as busy as any during the season. The continued sunny weather and fast ground looks assured and with…

One bet only on Sunday 1pt ew Sam Hawkens 4.35 Newcastle The other bet I considered was Gunship in the 4.00 but too short at 6/5 William Haggas sends two runners to Newcastle on Sunday and both ran well on seasonal debut looking sure to come on for the run. Cairdeas in the 6.15 looks…

Let’s be honest following the results of the last 72 hours, most punters did not need the support of advisors to have won money. Sometimes punting can be simple – backing Ryan Moore and Aiden O’ Brien horses at Chester a prime example. However bookies exist because these examples rarely go to this level of…

An update on the Yards Friday runners. We have already posted a 3pt win Power Fizz 10/3 in the 1.50 Ascot Chester In the 2.05 Orionis reappears after a promising first run of the season at Wetherby. The yards other 3yo that need a trip of 1m 4f have all won on their second outing…

We recommended a bet on Consolidation last weekend at Goodwood to beat Power Fizz who had won for us at the Newmarket Craven meeting. We just about got it right but Power Fizz ran a tremendous race beaten only a head. Both horses clocking exceptional speed figures that suggests a mark of 86 greatly under…

A winner from two very well backed selections on Wednesday has got the ball rolling on what promises to be a great weekend followed by the York Dante meeting. A quiet start on Thursday with no entries from our main yard and a trappy looking main Chester card. There is one horse I am interested…
