I think you may be on to something there. 66/1 gone, for now at least. The one I have quite a strong fancy for is Vantheman (possibly in a driving finish?). Kevin’s, Ryan and Stott a good combination here. Has pretty good form at York, especially when 2nd here last May behind Jubilee Walk when...

It all seems a bit pointless as they are merely re-scheduling to other days. Now, if they were to cancel a few fixtures as part of a well thought out plan to reduce the bloated fixture list?

Bad news for the “What are you backing today?” thread that day.

Sensorium (2.05 Newmarket) is my main hope for today. Dylan Cunha had a high opinion of this horse and aimed quite high with him as a 2yo, running in the Windsor Castle second time out and the big York Sales race (where he ran well in 3rd behind Diligently and Arizona Blaze). He has has only...

I backed Shimmering Sands (5.25 Doncaster) at 14/1 last night. Noticed he was 16/1 this morning but now 10/1. Hasn’t reproduced last seasons decent and consistent form yet, but off this reduced mark should be able to go close. Roger Varian has a short priced favourite and possible improver in...

Bear Force One (3.07 Doncaster) seemed a bit generous at 66/1 last night. I see he has been cut a little, to 40/1 this morning. He has had 2 very poor runs this season for his new trainer and they have gone for a first time eyeshield on him. He is a 9yo now, but had some form last season that...

I hope you are right. I thought his price was generous last night and he has drifted further since and now available at 28/1. This trainer/jockey/combination had a big price winner 2 weeks ago that drifted to 66/1, so this apparent lack of support may not be detrimental to his chance.

I think the price change would have been almost entirely as a result of Hugh Taylor presenting a very cogent case for Supreme King at 9.21 this morning in his Attheraces column. Bookmakers usually halve the price as soon as he tips one and he indicated Bet365 we’re best price at 25/1 at the...

I wouldn’t join the criticism of the Racing Post as I think there is access to lots of valuable information/data in the online version (even if I think it is too expensive even though I always get a “deal”). There is lots of general interest information about racing figures, the history of the...

I wouldn’t know if the comment about too many threads was directed at you, I didn’t read as that, but had some sympathy with the view as I haven’t been sure about where best to post when I had a thought this week. It was probably worth saying, because others may be thinking the same thing and...

2 weeks on from his “farewell” victory, he’s back for more in the 5.20 Doncaster. Not a race that holds a lot of interest for me, but I hope the old boy runs well.

The first words on this thread were "Someone please make it stop!" - I suspect some may be saying that to themselves as they read your post. However, I'm not amongst them. Well done and I think Platinum is a good choice for your statue. According to Google, it is one of the rarest elements on...

I admire your seemingly endless enthusiasm for these systems, and coming up with such a long list every day. It must take a lot of work. I wish you well with it throughout August, and hopefully beyond. I don’t know how you make your selections (and it wouldn’t interest in as far as these are...

It is amazing that after the driest spring and summer on record, that there wasn’t a bit of firm in the going, ahead of this meeting. I assume the justification for all of the watering is to protect the horses, but we have seen a few breaking down this week there and before the rain came...

Hope you’ve got them in lots of multiples.

If only there was an Irish version of this race.

David O’Meara on Racing TV: Danny can ride whichever he wants. Moments later, Danny on Racing TV: I was leaning towards Rhoscolyn or Bopedro, David told me I was on Mirsky. Gave me a choice when Mirsky came out.

Well done with Rhoscolyn. Nice one.

Well done - enjoy your winnings!!

Not any more, Mirsky is a non-runner. He was my initial thought, but moved on to Theoryofeverything (another O’Meara horse) and Afentiko. I imagine O’Meara is happy people find him hard to fathom. I’ve always hoped Mirsky would have a crack on soft going, but he won’t be trying it today.
