The first edition of my "Juvenile Prospects for 2022/23" is now in effect If you are on Twitter, you can bookmark it here;- https://twitter.com/HarchibaldS/status/1558501766873882627 But if you are not into that new fangled guff, here it is in full. Daddy Long Legs, Havaila, Kitesurfer...

I honestly think that most of racing's problems would be solved if the bookmakers were wiped from existence. No compensations or buyouts. If they do not go away peacefully, execute them. Glorified brokers/middlemen at best, parasites as a standard. PMU for casual punters, exchanges for fixed...

Strap yourselves in... To mark an eighteen day break for the juvenile hurdlers, we are in for a real treat tomorrow. Guaranteed to be best three-runner summer juvenile held for at least twenty years! Market Rasen - 30th July - Preview Since the 2004/05 season, there have been twenty instances...

Stratford - 28th July - Preview Stratford is set to host the first maiden juvenile hurdle of the season and, as per its title, probably won’t be the classiest affair. Quality form, either on the flat or over jumps, is thin on the ground with the six runners achieving just one win from a combined...

Stratford – 10th July – Preview Since 2005, nine juveniles competed at Stratford during the summer before running in the Triumph. While most finished well beaten at the festival, Fair Along and Barizan would find only one too good during the 2005/06 and 2009/10 campaigns respectively...

Definitely a promising start although my sentiments have not yet changed from what I wrote about him in Free Chakarte's profile. While he certainly has the credentials to get good ground types, I am not sure if he can be quite so well rounded a jumps stallion as Deep Run. The concerns being...

I think the echoes caused by the sound of my soul being utterly obliterated have just finished reverberating. Tomorrow's race offers no potential of the glory that comes with highlighting a horse right before a huge plunge and a day ahead of it winning how it likes... But it's still a race I...

Newton Abbot – 21st June – Preview The first three juvenile hurdles this season have all gone to the fillies. This is more a statistical cluster than systematic trend which plays out in the long term and at Newton Abbot, Intriguing Lady will be the sole vanguard for her sex against Dicktate and...

Thank you :) Apologies for missing the Aintree race - would have been 1.Free Chakarte 2. Mucuna 3. Fast Style 4. All In Peder so probably for the best I was too tired from work to preview a four runner race. Luckily, I was able to get away a few hours early today so here is the preview for a...

Hello all... Haven't had time to do a proper opening post with stats, explanations and so forth. Will be nice to do one before long but for now, I am just going to jump in with the first preview essay of the season. Enjoy :) Hexham - 4th June - Preview At the beginning of this century, the...

I am not seeing any constructive criticism, but I am seeing someone who - in the politest possible way - appears to be confused about what I am doing in this thread. Nevertheless, I do not expect everybody to have read enough posts to understand why I am not a tipster and there may be some...

No idea what is going on and am too tired to make sense of it all right now, but I am sure it will make for riveting breakfast reading in a few hours! I was going to start of by lamenting how badly I goofed with yesterday's preview written in a semi-conscious state (which I think I did warn...

The preview for tomorrow's race at Hereford started off as an essay. However, before long, I was struggling to keep my eyes open and my thoughts were everywhere and nowhere. Whether it's because I'm tired from a long day at work, or it's simply a dire race is anybody's guess. For what it's...

Preview for tomorrow's fillies' race at Ludlow which, to my eye, looks rather uncompetitive given that Galah and Angels Landing have questions to answer. Doncaster's race on Thursday looks a little more interesting but I would be very surprised if a preview was forthcoming as I am meeting a...

I'm sure I have plenty of thoughts on recent events but this week has seen a new shift pattern at work as well as the passing of a dear friend. Absolutely not fishing for sympathy btw since I have been processing it with the friends still here, the one that went back to the universe would find...

Might see if I can pull up some Fred Winter trends after Saturday. Speaking of which, as exciting as the Cheltenham race looks, I will be going to Doncaster tomorrow so while I will endeavour to get a preview done for Saturday, there is a small chance that it may be delayed or worse... I am...

Thank you Barjon My content has been spotted on twitter by a few "names" in the industry, although I have not yet been headhunted. I can only imagine that most who could give me a career would also be the ones threatened and intimidated by my magnificence. Which is silly really seeing as I have...

Here are some profiles I've done for a bunch of the entries yet to race over hurdles in Britain or Ireland from the "prospects to come" thing I linked in the juvenile thread. https://twitter.com/HarchibaldS/status/1485713223043198986 Delante bf Tom Cooper j1-1-0 (-) – 112 Walk In The Park...

Thank you Grey. 1/7 is never value in a race where young, stupid horses are running around with sticks in the way. But the odds on Hasty Parisian were very peculiar considering everything else had questions to answer.
