Long time for me to be off the blog. The truth is, I've had such a good January that, when things started to tail off a little for me, I've completely restricted my bets. I think that I may loosen the purse strings a little to see how we go. Towards that end I will have one main go today: Benny Baloo - 4.35 Market Rasen 3/1 Win I previously wrote in my notes: "A full brother to Betty Baloo, three -time ...

We love our Saturdays, don't we? Some decent racing today for us NH fans and I've picked a few that I've been following plus one more. As is normal for me, it's mostly chases that are of interest: Chianti Classico - Kemp 1.30 5/2 Win Mount Tempest - Weth 2.15 2/1 Win Bog Apple Away - 2.24 Warw 2.24 5/2 Win 3 x Singles Win Trixie Fontaine Collonges - 3.00 Warw 17/2 Ew ...
Ambion View “Ambion View will have one run in a bumper then go novice hurdling. He is a beautiful horse” said Joe Tizzard Third in the Wincanton bumper at 40/1 on Boxing Day he’ll presumably now be off over hurdles and up in distance which will suit. Might be interesting. Bravemansgame I thought he would have won the King George but for getting tangled up with Shiskin when he slipped. He would have been at his peak for this and with Galopin ...

Lot’s of racing, but I guess the going is going to be pretty horrible and I’m not keen to risk much. Musselburgh looks about the best with soft and good to soft in places. Couple there that I like. 1:10 - a couple of well thought of southern raiders occupy the favourite and second favourite slots, but they may have to give best to the canny Sandy Thompson and Benson who won it last year doing handstands. 1:45 - Park Annonciade was favourite last night and has drifted ...

It’s been pissing down here all morning and I’m not that far from Newbury so whether the going there stays good/soft is doubtful. Henderson has a full hand of top notchers out there today and he won’t want to risk them if it gets too bad. Too late for his Spring Note who has won the first. 12:40 apparently the next superstar for him we’ll see what Jeriko Du Reponet is made of, but I’m not going to risk a lot to win very little. Also be interested to see how JAITROPLACLASSE ...
