Acrisius 4.55 Chester. 20/1 with Bet365 (so no good for me), but only 10/1 elsewhere. 4l 7th in 3yo Dash at Epsom. This should be easier and quite likely to be able to lead from Stall 4.

He's a Monster (2.50 Newm) ran a great race on his seasonal return at Newcastle and would probably have won with a better draw. Of course More Thunder is a big danger, but 22/1 is a ridiculous price if he can replicate that run. Sam James replaces Faleh Bughenaim and extra furlong should help...

Whistlejacket is now 6/1 and Symbol of Honour 8/1. I backed Ides of March earlier at 66/1. My reasoning was that on his seasonal return this season, he was slowly away, then led until collared near the line at Navan by Whistlejacket (who gave him 2lb). This was on soft going, which the Trainer...

You must have an approach similar to mine. I also backed Asadjumeirah that day. The O'Meara horses have all been in my tracker at some point, but only Stressfree remains, and I've pretty much given up with him now. Spirit Genie has a very good chance, but I backed Whiskey Pete at the price. As...

I agree with your sentiments on today's cards, they are underwhelming from my betting perspective. I'll mostly save up for next Saturday's feast of racing. Good luck with your bet.

These are net pay figures, perhaps after expenses too, but he must be paying a hell of a lot into his pension! Half way through this season, he has his percentage of £1,86m in winning prize money in the UK alone, so that’s about £160k. His riding fees and percentage of place money, would take...

6lb penalty. Looks a very tough race. Conditions as follows: RACE CONDITIONS £100,000 guaranteed For 4yo+ CONFIRM JULY 5TH Weights highest weight not less than 9st 12lb NOTE: Any horse rated above 110 shall initially be treated as having that rating and the highest weight allotted shall be...

Going back to the issue of having claimers up, it was interesting to see Michael Bell had another runner today with a female 7lb claimer aboard (apart from Duke of Oxford). Mayday Malone won the 4.10 at Chester, over 7f, at 12/1 under Jay Mackay. This was a £20k race. When I was skimming...

Happy birthday. Hope you get a few winners to celebrate. If you do ever change your name, you have plenty of 1985 related options: Last Suspect (Grand National) Forgive n’ Forget (Gold Cup) Oh So Sharp (Fillies Triple Crown) Dancing Brave (2yo season) Pebbles (Eclipse)

it was Marquee Universal at Salisbury in April 1979 (I had to look it up), but knew it wasn’t Touching Wood, who won 1982 St Leger (having been 2nd to Golden Fleece in the Derby) both under Paul Cook.

I don’t imagine it takes much to move the market for a race like this in the early stages and it may be adjusting again now. Bet365 now 6/1 and generally 5’s elsewhere. Wouldn’t surprise me if it is nearer 10’s at the off now. Initial price just looked so big relative to its chance. I have got...

Blimey! Bet365 are now best price 5/1, as short as 3/1 elsewhere. Think they may have made a mistake with the first price.

Here have this one!

Damascus Steel 5.30 Newcastle tomorrow is interesting. Bet365 put him up at 33/1, now cut to 28/1. I can't bet with them and he is best price 14/1 elsewhere, though not all bookies have put prices up yet. His last win was here last October (off 8lb higher) and he is reunited with PJ McDonald for...

If you are going to have a "cliff" horse, it may as well carry an appropriate moniker. So I I am going to mention a horse I will be backing until Kingdom Come. Kingdom Come is out again in the 3.45 at Newcastle with Saffie Osborne onboard. Although he doesn't seem unsuited to turf, he hasn't...

He earned that rating here and has run well in all 3 appearances at the track. 3 of his top 4 RPR’s here. I recall listening to Alice talking about getting first time out winners with horses inherited from other trainers (I think it was Nick Luck’s Sunday show on Racing TV), so it may be the...

He did also get a couple of mentions in the Racing Post earlier in the week when 33/1. I waited until declared and have backed him at 16/1.
