    Amateur Jockey Races Thread

    As some of you will know, I have a theory that you back the jockey, not the horse, in an amateur jockeys’ race. The more experienced the jockey, the greater their edge over competing rivals. And I don’t think this is always priced in with the bookies. You won’t come across an amateur jockey...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    I’m doing the high numbers thing in combi forecasts, for the first three 5f-7f races at Newcastle tonight. Let’s see how we get on.

    5/1 win. There’s definitely an angle.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    The 1:45 is a ladies’ amateur race. On the basis that you back the jockey and not the horse in an amateur race, I am backing Revich and Walsingham. Neither of their jockeys has ridden a winner in the past two weeks, but these two have had the most rides (only 4 and 5 in the past 14 days). On...

    I think Slim just told barjon to f%*& off his own thread.

    The Will Win Thread

    Yes, apologies all round for snaffling the 8/1, and the horse winning! I thought it was the obvious call in the race. If I could only stop betting on non-amateur races. Seriously, there is an angle to be had.

    Thank you, Slim. Ribble River for the ew saver. Back the jockey, not the horse, in an Amateurs race.

    What are you watching

    I’ll tell you what I have been watching - the beeb drama series from the 70s, ‘The Brothers’. Absolutely riveting! Well, ok, “habit-forming”, if you must! And we’re nearly at the end - all 92 episodes, over six series. Great cast, too. Colin Baker, former Dr Who, plays heartless and soulless...

    The 2025 Belmont Stakes

    Beautiful burst of mid-race acceleration! Left them all flat-footed. Fierceness is my new favourite horse.

    Irish Cambridgeshire on Saturday

    You and Dessie are my Saturday handicap people. Slim rules midweek if he has a cert. I even do my own homework sometimes, honest!

    2025 In Memoriam (Racing People)

    Very unassuming jockey for such a beautiful and flashy horse. Perfect match in many ways.

    The Will Win Thread

    There's always an angle in an Amateurs-only race. I never look at the horse, I just look at how many rides the jockey has had in the past 14 days. You'd be surprised how many horses win at 7/1, with a jockey on who has ridden five times in the past fortnight, compared to once.

    Great tip, Slim - many thanks. That jockey rode like he was out for his life! Fine performance.
