Looked a wee bit unlucky. Hope you backed it ew, marble (I didn't).

At least it was trying and things just never opened up for it in the straight.

Tracker horse, from the fast 7f race on Eclipse day won by Mojito:

Catterick 3.15 - Tai Sing Yeh

He was only eighth on the day but all of those who finished in front have subsequently won or...

Knew it!

I've been calculating my own for decades!

I've packed the form away for the weekend (done all my figures for Saturday) and will post my going allowance for that Sandown meeting once I start doing...

Good second to the hotpot. It was 3/1 when I checked the price this morning so I don't know if the 15/8 sp was due to support or the non-runner.

It's looking more and more like Mojito's race was...

Yeah, thought so. Some guys on here are right basterts :lol:

Yes, I only noticed my error when Here And Now was engaged at Chester yesterday. I was hoping nobody had noticed!

To balance it out, though, I did put up Master The World ante-post at 20/1 for the...

Mojito duly followed up on Saturday. Prost (6.15 Windsor) goes to boost the form this evening.

Archetype didn't do much the other day but didn't get a great ride and/or may not have liked the ground. Seafarer did a little bit better this evening but still couldn't win.

Both this race and...

Even I would have to concede that I didn't imagine we'd be looking at the subsequent winners of the Goodwood Cup and Sussex Stakes!!

Two runners tonight at Sandown. One won (7/4f), the other mugged in a photo after idling (11/10f).

Mazyoun is first to test the water. Runs 5.00 Newmarket. Only 11/4 so I can let it go, especially as I also like the look of Love Dreams and they're disputing favouritism.

I'm getting a G1 time for Parfait in the Silver Bunbury Cup.

Depending on which standard times I use, I’m getting him between 11lbs and 17lbs faster than Roly Poly. And he might be nowhere near...

yes, the problem I have when this kind of situation arises is that the beaten horses weren't beaten at all far so if Mojito is ridiculously well handicapped so must be most of the others. It's why I...

Looks like we're in broad agreement, Mr F. I've put all of the 7f race field in the tracker to see how they go, plus the first two from Archetype's race.

I didn't put the milers in as I know...

Evidence that the final furlong at Ascot is slower, yes, but not that it is more uphill.

I'd contend that it's slower in the last furlong at Ascot because they've already been going uphill most of...

As far as I know, Ascot is generally uphill from some way out but it flattens off for the last half-furlong. Newmarket is net downhill (hence it's a faster course overall) until the last furlong...

I agree, having backed Caravaggio for the Guineas (and I still think he'd have won it if he'd run in it) but it does make you wonder about the hype Brian Gleeson tried to create ahead of the...

8th July Haydock, closing 10f hcap (Race 4618) - I have this race as the fastest on the card relative to its class. The winner Across Dubai went up 10lbs for an easy win. The runner-up, beaten a...

Simon Rowlands's July Meeting debrief - always an interesting read whether you agree with it or not.

Calling Mr Frisk & other time analysts:

Eclipse day - I thought I was on to a fast race with the one won by Archetype. It was only 29lbs slower, before wfa considerations, than what seemed a...

I didn't back anything in yesterday's race. I really wanted Harry to win but feared Ascot may have exposed him as one-dimensional.

Now that we know he can settle at pace he will be very hard to...

Thanks, guys. It owed me. I'd backed it in a couple of better races than this. Got 9/1 this morning so beat the sp too.

No complaints :)

I went to follow you in too but saw Union Rose - which my figures say is handicapped to win better races than this - in the race so backed it instead!

Strange tactical ride but did the business. Sh1te price and R4s so no big money made but another winner for the tracked horses.
