  1. Christmas Crackers

    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.

    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 ...

  2. It’s 2024 - Happy New Year guys and gals.

    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 ...

  3. Last 2023 Saturday

    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 ...

  4. Saturday 30th December 2023

    The last Saturday of the year and some decent racing.

    Having said that, it's a shame that one of my go0to bets is a nr - of course. There are still a few worthy of mention.

    Firstly:

    Collector's Item - 1.25 Haydock 3/1 Win

    I backed this last when it was 7/4 and I see that so far this morning, it has drifted to the present 3/1. Good. I'd rather that than a daytime shortening. My notes on this one are as follows:

    A fiendishly difficult day for backing, it's true.

    Centre stage will be he Welsh National at Chepstow and what a minefield this looks..

    The be honest there only one horse that must be backed here, for me, but you'll understand that although this is a choice with provisos attached, I must back him here after I've followed him since last season.


    Autonomous Cloud - Chepstow 2.50 9/2 7 places (Skybet) Ew

    As mentioned above, I've followed ...
