Glorious Goodwood selections Friday 30th July A more typical Glorious Goodwood card with some fiercely competitive handicaps combined with some quality pattern races. I am taking on the two big field handicaps, plus the Group 3 12f contest. Goodwood 1.50: Elysian Flame & Just Hubert The marathon moves back...
Galway selection Thursday 29th July The Galway Hurdle is today’s feature at the West of Ireland track and a horse bidding to land a bonus for winning at Bellewstown before coming here, can take the beating. Galway 6.15: Winner Takes Itall Still only rated 132, WINNER TAKES ITALL only...
Glorious Goodwood selections Thursday 29th July The focus on Thursday is largely on the youngsters at Goodwood, however the highlight is the Group 1 Nassau Stakes for fillies. The 3yo division showed in the Sussex yesterday their ability and they could come out on top again here. We had...
