A drop of 4lb was surely an over-reaction from the BHA Handicapper!

8 Runners from Royal Ascot that I think were wrongly dropped in the handicap. We also know about ‘ricks’ from the bookies, this blog looks for those ‘ricks’ from the BHA handicapper

Royal Ascot Review 2021

2021-06-19T23:35:15+01:00June 19th, 2021|

Why do people moan about rides?

Why do people complain about rides? Because they lost a few ££’s and they don’t understand the difference between a bad ride and an unfortunate ride. Horses can’t simply run through other horses that may be in the way. Similarly people expect jockeys to know what their mounts and others are going to do all the time. When a gap closes it’s not always (or even often) the fault of the jockey going for the gap and yet they get moaned at.

The criticism of Frankie on Stradivarius is ridiculous. The claim that he should have been closer turning in would have meant he […]

It’s a little way away but the Stewards Cup is surely the plan!

After finishing 2nd last week, Ejtilaab went one better at Epsom when just getting up over 6f. He’s been raised 5lb for that but would still be of interest over 6 1/2 – 7f races!

He was last of 6 but could bounce back next time!

2 more 2nd’s over the weekend with both Ejtilaab and Bielsa finishing 2nd at Chester & Haydock respectively. I thought Bielsa had got there but was one stride too late and beaten in the photo whilst Ejtilaab has simply bumped into a rapidly improving horse.

Royal Hunt Cup next!

After another great run from one of our horses highlighted here (Sunday Sovereign 2nd @ 20/1), hopefully we can continue this good run! This week I think I’ve found one that I really like for the Royal Hunt Cup as well as a horse who I think will run much better next time out when I think he will be fitter!

The Wokingham is surely the target this year again!

This week I think I have found the one for the Wokingham at Royal Ascot whilst there were 2 in 1 race at York that caught my eye. So far from these posts, I have had 3 run in subsequent handicaps and they have finished

1st @ 14/1
2nd @ 40/1
4th @ 10/1 (and I think wins next time!)

Bielsa (Kevin Ryan) dropped 1lb to 95

Bielsa ran a great race last week when finishing 5th at York over 6f when arguably doing too much too early. With 2 furlongs to run he hit the front and […]

It may be the summer but there is still some great NH racing!

This week I think I’ve found one that would go close in a Summer Plate at Market Rasen as well as a horse who I think can bounce back when returning to handicap company!

Royal Village dropped 1lb to 130

Royal Village dropped 1lb for his 3rd placed effort at his beloved Market Rasen. I don’t think this was a bad effort over a trip that is slightly too far for him and  it was no surprise to see him just fade late on. He was beaten by 2 horses who came into the race […]

National Hunt Horses and their targets

With the weekly blog, we will also be highlighting National Hunt horses (this will calm down in the summer) and here are a few that I’ve spotted so far.

If The Cap Fits – Ladbrokes Trophy

If The Cap Fits looks to me perfect for the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November. He had been running some nice races over fences including when 2nd to Yala Enki at Taunton when getting outstayed and 3rd to Shan Blue at Kempton (track was too sharp). He returned to hurdles after his 2nd to Yala Enki and was well beaten at Cheltenham and Aintree and […]

That’s the whole season planned for him!

This weeks includes 1 horse who has been raised 1lb on collateral form but I think he’s still much better than his new 99 mark!

Voix Du Reve dropped 1lb to 144

Voix Du Reve has actually dropped 4lb to 144 over fences but I think connections should stick to hurdles next season and he’s now dropped to 145 over hurdles which is the same mark as when 2nd by a neck at Musselburgh in the Hogmaneigh Hurdle. He clearly acts at some tracks and disappoints at others and at this stage of his career, mixing it up going to tracks […]
