    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    I'm hoping to clean up with Sanitiser in the 4.25 at Goodwood tomorrow, currently 25/1. 3 Poor runs this season after 6 months off, which followed 4 runs over hurdles. Prior to those hurdles runs he ran two good races over 1m 4f off 82 and 85 - tomorrow he runs off 65. The first of those two...

    The 2025 Ebor Handicap

    It's a devilishly difficult race in which I've gone small stakes on Subsequent 125/1, Stressfree 66/1 and most recently Enemy 30/1 (though I'm hoping for better). The argument for these is: Subsequent - Andrew Balding & Oisin Murphy - difficult to ignore in these races and price was so big I...

    I had to take the 80's Saint Lawrence too. Tom Marquand for Hollie Doyle (who rides Zayer, also for Archie Watson) could be an interesting and positive booking.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Just starting my research for tomorrow's racing and thought I better stick this one on the Longshot thread whilst he still qualifies. Checkandchallenge (1.50 York) ran really well in the corresponding race last year when 3rd (less than 2 lengths behind See the Fire) at 33/1. This renewal looks...

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Dont know if you did what you suggested, but to add to my bets on Kerdos and Frost at Dawn, I'm thinking Ain't Nobody is worth a speculative couple of quid. I have, at 150/1 + boost this morning. 3 of his 4 2yo starts were over 5f, but he is yet to tackle the minimum trip this season. He was...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 3 (Friday) Thread

    The 4.10 is another very, very tricky York Fillies Handicap. I was interested in Bint Al Daar too. She is down 6lb from a good run in this when 2nd last year and, as you say, they have stuck cheekpieces on for the first time. I had never heard of Alfie Gee either, but checked his record and see...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 2 (Thursday) Thread

    Just watched Ruby Walsh’s analysis of the 3.00. He pointed out that the first five were all in the front line throughout and those at that back had no chance the way the race turned out. Dukes Command (who I had backed with boosts at 130/1 and 117.27/1) ended up 2l off the winner and a head...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 2 (Thursday) Thread

    Should have a great chance and 13/2 looking good. 5/2 looks very skinny in such a competitive race though and as I thought the race looked too hard, and apart from the 3.00, I can’t find much to bet on, I’ve had a small interest on Mollie Foster at 33/1. I thought she might have been a bit...

    Kendo’s 66/1 in the Nunthorpe for me.

    Love York. Newcastle should have kept to Turf. That said, I’ve made no effort whatsoever and come up with 5 relative outsiders for a speculative Lucky. 5.45 Zealandia 20/1 6.15 Flickering Hero 14/1 7.15 Dosman 12/1 8.15 Silent Film 28/1 8.45 The Oxo 40/1 Any chance the wind might be in the...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 2 (Thursday) Thread

    I thought that looked the value at 40/1 and backed her and stablemate, same owners, Dukes Command at 100/1 + boost). I actually think Dukes Command may be better with a little ease in the ground, but the only time he encountered it, was withdrawn because of unsuitable ground! I’m thinking he...

    Thrice is best price 22/1 at present, so your wagers are looking quite attractive now.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    That was the first one I picked out for this too, but a), he disappointed/cost me when pipped over hurdles in his penultimate run at Market Rasen (his hurdle mark was only 113 at the time), b) hasn’t proved he stays 2m on the flat and c) I’m going to give Align the Stars one last chance...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 1 (Wednesday) thread

    I’m hoping The Man and my selection, Vantheman, are battling out the finish, just so I can listen to the commentary on it.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Thank you. Not sure if I’ll have a bet in the Great Voltigeur, but Thrice was the only one that appealed to me at the prices when I looked at the race. Like last season, he has improved with every run and his last effort, including a stumble, was a big improvement. As this course can produce...

    The 2025 York August Meeting Day 1 (Wednesday) thread

    You certainly picked out the two hardest looking races of the day there. That 4.45 has almost no end of improvers who could be anything and I had difficulty whittling a shortlist down to 5. Saratoga Special was the first I looked at, and I agree 50/1 is very attractive and worth a bet at that...
