Festivals
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...
Goodwood selections Saturday 5th August It is the final day at Goodwood and a wet one again, but not quite as wet as perhaps initial forecasts predicted. That said I am still expecting conditions on the slow side and I have taken that into account for the four races...
Goodwood & Galway selections Thursday 3rd August The two big Festival meetings reach the halfway stage on Thursday. At Goodwood we perhaps have the lowest profile day of the week but a couple of 3yo handicaps catch the eye. At Galway the feature event is the Galway Hurdle which...

Royal Ascot selections Saturday 24th June Royal Ascot comes to an end for another year today and we apparently get to see Frankie Dettori one final time in the saddle at the big meeting of the year (unless he reverses his retirement decision in the meantime). The Jubilee Stakes...

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 &...
