Well Done Backed it myself - Harry Derham's horses are running out of their skin.

Bobby Bennu in the Balmoral for Roger Varian at 33/1. Don't fancy it on form but the trainer has had a winner on the last four runnings of this meeting. He also bagged the Balmoral in 2018 with Sharja Bridge and Bobby Bennu is his only runner on the card.

I remember bumping into an old friend of mine a few years ago who worked on security at Preston Guild Hall. I quizzed him into pound for pound which performance stands out as he saw hundred of big acts. I expected him to say Bowie or Elton John maybe Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. His reply was...

Nice touch by Craig Lidster earlier going straight over to congratulate the winning owner of SELECTION on being successful in the 7:30 race at Newcastle. Craig used to train the winner but was ousted by the landlord from his York stables and replaced by Ivan Furtado who now trains the horse.

Currently sat on a train from Leeds to York for hopefully a profitable day on the knavesmire. Have backed: VIXEY 5:00 YORK Rate the jockey Aiden Brookes only ride today. Rode the last winner at Newcastle last night.

5/6 with William Hill at present Thorpedo Anna seems a fair price to me.

Monsieur Bondy (7:45 Newcastle) @ 7/2 Lets see if our good friend Geoff Oldroyd can close the season on a high. Stable still in good form (only three of his last sixteen runners have finished outside the first three).

Couldn't resist having a double tonight: Maria Callas at Belmont and Minnie Hauk in the Arc 11/4 winner going o her 19th century counterpart!!!!

Very fast time but coming back to them at the line!!!

On the other side of the draw Estrange drawn 18 is best priced 16/1. It would need an inspired ride by Danny Tudhope to win the race and he hasn't too many of them in his locker.

Just caught an interview on ATR where the Japanese racing correspondent fancied Byzantine Dream of the three Japanese runners as long as the stick reading is no worse than 3.6. Sounded like the oriental version of you Ian!!!

I'm in many thanks Jinny!!!

If the ground is riding Good they have a great chance of winning it.

Backed Erzindjan myself each way. Would have gone close if drawn on the other side.

Just seen your post Ian and interested in Cash for this race as I had made a note to back the horse on its next start with the proviso to only have an interest if Spencer doesn't take the ride. I like David Egan (was introduced to him when he rode for a friend of mine). You couldn't hope to meet...

Well there's plenty of room in his stable!!!

You keep hitting the crossbar. Unlucky there.

Beaten in a photo for fifth!!!!!

What a delightful line up. I bet the sponsirs are thrilled!!!

MONKS DREAM 2:15 AYR Racing off 69 with Warren Fentiman who is riding it for the first time taking off a handy 5 pounds. As only won on the AW but on its latest win at Newcastle back in March jumped awkwardly from the stalls but won going away off 77. As been rather tenderly handled in its last...
