Chester selections Wednesday 10th May The opening day of the big meeting at Chester for the season and I am looking at two of the handicaps later in the day for some interest. We had a second successive 1-2 on Sunday when HMS President landed the staying handicap (7/1)...
Newmarket selections Sunday 7th May We have I think one of the best renewals of the 1000 Guineas for some time, with any number of realistic candidates for this Classic. I have narrowed it down to two and also have two suggestions for the big handicap on the card...
Newmarket selections Saturday 6th May We have entered the Classic season with the English 2000 Guineas the centrepiece of an excellent card at Newmarket. I have selections in four races on the afternoon. The Dabbler (advised 20/1) was placed for the each-way bet in the previous column last Saturday....
Leopardstown selections Saturday 10th September With British racing cancelled as a mark of respect for The Queen, the attention of all racing fans turns to Leopardstown for the first half of Irish Champions Weekend. On an action packed and varied card I am looking to the two handicaps and...
York selections Thursday 18th August Two big field handicaps come under the focus for the second day of the York Ebor meeting. We had a couple of each-way places on the opening day, Zoffee (11/2) and Atalis Bay (advised 10/1). York 3.00: Echo Point & Northern Express Some old...
York selections Wednesday 17th August The opening day of four at York and the traditional highlight is the International Stakes on the opening day. I find it difficult to find an angle with Baaeed in the line up, so am looking elsewhere to three other races on the card...
Glorious Goodwood selections Saturday 30th July The final day at Goodwood and the traditional feature on the final day is the Stewards Cup. It looks a classy renewal this year with plenty of group horses taking their chance. However the overall card is as good as it has been...
Goodwood selections Friday 29th July We are already up to day four at Goodwood and we have two of the best handicaps to look forward to all week this afternoon. One of the longest races in the calendar kicks us off and then we have the Golden Mile to...
Goodwood & Galway selections Thursday 28th July Not the greatest of cards in my opinion at Goodwood today, but I have chosen the two handicaps for selections. Meanwhile at Galway, the second of the two big jumps races of the week, the Galway Hurdle is the highlight and I...
The Sussex Stakes is the prestige race of the week at Goodwood and the superstar Baaeed will be prohibitive odds to secure another Group 1 success. However there should be some value in opposition as an each-way alternative. I have selections from three races at Goodwood, but I can’t...
