Haydock & Ascot selections Saturday 10th May We have the best of both worlds today at Haydock with the one true remaining mixed fixture in the British racing calendar. The big betting races are over the hurdles and come up early in the afternoon and I have concentrated on...
Chester selections Friday 9th May The most exciting races of the big Chester meeting have largely been backloaded to the final day of the fixture and so the flagship race of the week, the Chester Cup is the race to concentrate on today. I have two selections for the...
Chester selections Thursday 8th May Chester’s big meeting of the year continues on Thursday and the two best handicaps are worthy of further attention. We had a cracking day on Sunday with the 1000 Guineas winner Desert Flower (advised 11/8) and Story Horse also winning (advised 15/2). Chester 1.30:...
