Blimey! What a fiasco. Be interesting to see how fast the rest of the card goes. This one was run 5:00 secs fast, the two previously 10.4 slow and 12.5 slow.

2:48 Wetherby: A bit early to be having full bets, but Primoz won this race last year and had a good run a few weeks ago at Kelso where he ran pretty near his best in second. Would prefer to see a bit of soft in the ground, though. Parisencore is handily weighted, but his best runs have come...

Nice one, sir

Just think Estrange is much better on soft and Kalpana keeps disappointing.

Fwiw (not much I suspect) 12:55 Difficult to see past Words Of Truth, but i’lll be interested to see how Division goes up at the top table. Been coming along nicely, but this might be a tad ambitious. 1:30 Trawlerman all the way 2:05 Montassib had a set back and his only run this season was...

Wishing you well

Sunday 12th October Glad I was tempted by Division who won nicely. Not much to take from Chepstow on first glance, but I’ll have a more thorough look at Pure Carbon who made quite a nice chase debut and bucked the underperforming trend of Harry a Derham horses at the moment. Another watching...

Yes, it’s not talent I was thinking about, it’s going off the rails as some of them do. He seems very level headed, though.

Yippee

First one to go in the notebook comes from Chepstow yesterday. Matty's Getaway was nearly put out of the race at the third-last and did very well to finish third. He looks a promising addition for Kim Bailey. Queensbury Lad was a big disappointment in common with most of Harry Derham’s runners...

I’m under strict orders to watch, not bet, as the opening shots are fired. If I get tempted it’ll be with the favourite, French Ship.

Good Luck

Ah, those were the days, Ian. Quite how the BBC can call itself the national broadcaster when it ignores the second most popular sport in the country is a mystery.

Yup, second again, but at least I covered this time. Morning Rose looked pretty good. Shan’t be doing much on the flat now that the main show is back on stage today, albeit it’s a bit of a dodgy time and musn’t get too enthusiastic too early. Concentrate instead on filling the notebook. That...

The rugs are off the jumpers today

That’s the one, then.

5:30 Newcastle: Proposal would likely have finished closer last time, although I doubt she would have won - 30/8 she was joined in the lead a couple out, seemed to be weakening when collecting a hefty bump from the winner which unbalanced her and cost whatever momentum she had left. - I fear...

I hate losers, they fester in my mind and fill me with doom and gloom. Can’t change it so I go with the flow. Gravitate towards the shorter end of the market so I don’t have to suffer a string of losers waiting for a long shot to come in. Don’t have much trouble chasing losses, but do often...

Well beaten second, I’m getting fed up with seconds. Roll on Chepstow.
