    The 2026 New Year's Day Racing Thread

    I'm with Danny on Jasmin De Grugy. My strongest one for tomorrow is Ballyglass Beauty in Fairyhouse's 2.10. I had this horse as a tracker a couple of years ago, which is probably enough to put anyone and everyone off, truth be told, but he's coming into form again, and is on a dangerous...

    Tuesday December 30th

    That's very interesting, thanks Jin. I could only get two winners so far today, at SP's of 6/4 and 9/4. It's just getting too hard to back big priced winners on the jumps, especially mid week. I'm not saying it was ever easy, but as I say, I don't think anything's won at a double figure price...

    Tuesday December 30th

    I've a few fancies. I had a day off yesterday, so feeling refreshed and ready for war today. Edit. Most of these are each way prices. Haydock 12.35 Maura Jeanne was raised 3lb for the last day when second, which looks fair enough. She should stay the trip all day long, and in truth I don't...

    Wayne Gretzky for Prime Minister of Canada?

    Polls? Who honestly trusts what a poll thinks about it. I think over half of Brits couldn't care less what a poll thinks, in terms of having any bearing on reality, especially since Brexit. President Starmer, or President Badenoch, or even President Farage. A scary thought, it really is, and...

    Stop At A Winner

    You must have backed mine each way as I'm suffering from seconditis and thirditis, Wallsy. For what it's worth, I fancy One Horse Army in Limerick's 3.25. He'll definitely act on the ground, ran well at this track in December of last year, and hopefully today is the day he shows he can win a...

    Leopardstown Christmas Meeting

    Kinturk may be one to watch going forward. I thought Favori needed it soft to show his best. Well done Rob.

    Welsh National Day, and another blog post!

    Cheers Wallsy, I'd love it if I could bag one more winner from the final three horses. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

    The 2025 King George VI Chase

    Jango's RP comments in running, sum it up I think. "Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, not fluent 2nd, prominent 10th, challenging 2 out, kept on run-in." If he can settle better in March and race more fluently he can be in shake up at Cheltenham.

    The 2025 King George VI Chase

    I see what you mean. I didn't think Jango was truly on it at times yesterday, so I do think he's the one who could improve the most. Take absolutely nothing away from the winner though. I just think Jango ran on and stayed on quite well, especially given I thought his jumping was scrappy at...

    The 2025 Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase

    I can too. Qirat 150/1 SP in the Sussex Stakes was crazy, as was No Half Measures in the July Cup at 66/1. I was on both. And they were only the industry SP's, not to mention Betfair trading prices. I've always been in camp that if you fancy a horse enough, back it whatever the price, but...

    Welsh National Day, and another blog post!

    Three winners for the blogski yesterday. I wish I'd had one or two more, but at least I didn't disgrace myself. Starting off with the big one.today, the Welsh National. GIT MAKER'S tendency to race unfluently, hitting the odd one would be a concern for him. The positives are if you take out...

    Boxing Day fancies

    3 out of 8 winners, including the well backed Genois. It could have been worse I guess, and although I'd have liked a better strike rate, I'll settle for it. Emailandy my last bet of the day in the last at Kempton. Fingers crossed.

    The 2025 King George VI Chase

    The horse must have had some proper back form for you to back a Harry Redknapp horse, DO! Well done.

    Boxing Day fancies

    Genois a big mover, top price 20/1 with Bet 365 a couple days ago, now into a general 3/1. I wonder who is on? 😁

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Kempton 3.40 Emailandy is nearly a qualifier for the longshot thread but is 18/1 best price at the moment, so I'm sticking him on here. He was running at the wrong trip last time over 3 miles at Newbury. This drop in distance will really suit, he has form on decent ground, and is back on his...

    December 26th Away Meetings

    I know you have some history of working in bookmaking, Slim, so I've no idea what you'll make of this. I increasingly believe bookmakers pricing up markets, and market moves, whether positive or negative, are roughly 80 percent deceptive bullshit, and about 20 percent based on any realism...
