York selections Friday 25th August Onto Day Three at York and the feature event is a fascinating clash for the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes, arguably Britain’s premier 5f event of the year. We have colts against fillies, older horses against the 3yo’s and even a 2yo and a big...
York selections Thursday 24th August Day Two at York and the times of the races yesterday confirmed that fast ground very much is prevailing on the Knavesmire currently. With conditions largely set fair for Thursday then horses capable of handling fast ground will be very important once more. I...
York selections Wednesday 23rd August The latest of the big Festivals, the Ebor meeting at York begins on Wednesday. There is plenty of quality in the group races, but for betting entertainment it is the quantity in the handicaps that catches my interest. I have selections for the first...

Royal Ascot selections Friday 23rd June Onto day four at a sunny Ascot and the fillies largely take centre stage today. However the Commonwealth Cup also provides Group 1 action and looks a fascinating clash of sprinters coming back in trip. In total I am focussing on three races...
Royal Ascot selections Thursday 22nd June The middle day at Ascot and the blue riband event the Gold Cup takes centre stage on Ladies Day. I have a confident selection for the feature, plus suggestions for the three handicaps on the card. Ascot 3.05: Wonder Legend, Valiant King &...
