Doesn't seem to be an appropriate thread to discuss some of the winter Flat stuff, so thought I'd start one and see if there's much interest. Thought the Wild Flower at Kempton on Wednesday is a belter, the sort of race you'd expect at HQ or Ascot on a Saturday afternoon rather than an evening...

Looks a good card this, and reckon a couple of the races give us a chance to have a couple of bets. Starting with the Mile. Mindurownbusiness looks on the short side at 9/4. Obviously going the right way, but it his handicap winning form really much stronger than that put up by Mister...

Firstly, I have to confess I haven't got Admin permission for this, so if deemed unsuitable, by all means, do delete it. Presuming it's okay.... There's an offer on at present at www.timeform.com where members signing up to a new account, if they deposit £10 they get £10 of credit matched for...

http://www.britishhorseracing.presscentre.com/Press-Releases/British-Horseracing-Authority-Announces-Upgrades-to-Jump-Pattern-Races-for-2013-14-3fe.aspx No surprise that the Jewson is among 4 races to be upgraded to Grade 1 status, but the Celebration Chase? Not sure that is warranted given the...

Have discussed this a number of times in various threads when we've been talking about converting ratings into value bets. For those that have also taken part in such discussions, you might be interested in a couple of articles recently written by James Willoughby Nonlinearity and racehorse...

Some of you might remember this when shown originally, but as a tribute to it's writer/presenter who died aged 49 in January, it's repeated on More4 at 12.05am tonight. A 3-part series, the one shown tonight which focuses mostly on racing and his trip to the Cheltenham Festival is excellent viewing.

Heading out on Boxing Day, will be spending most of the time on Ko Phangan. Anybody been, got specific recommendations? However am heading there with friends so Imagine I'll be fine. On the way back though have got a couple of days in Bangkok planned, so after some ideas suggestions what to...

Haven't got a strong view on what is so often a great race, other than like last year I wonder if St Nicholas Abbey is too short at 5/2. Some interesting Timeform performance ratings at 4/5 yrs for him when you split his efforts up by r/h and l/h tracks. Going l/h (most recent first) -...

With some of us at Timeform having written pieces on betting.betfair which can be found here and here I thought I'd throw the floor over the team here to describe their Moment of 2011, Performance of 2011, Hero of 2011 and Villain of 2011 as well as a bet of the year for 2012. Come on folks.

Anyone any thoughts on this process that seems to have been carried out whether the majority of them have had their rating chopped by 4/5 lb. Don't follow Dundalk closely, so only noticed it at Wolverhampton for Monday's meeting when the majority of the Irish horses are looking well handicapped...

Having been saddled with something Dom Jolly would be embarassed to get out of his pocket for 2 years because I'm tight and wanted the cheapest possible contract, I'm now coming to the stage where I qualify for an upgrade and want some advice as what to get. Like the idea of an iphone, but...

I guess this could have been called the Road To Cadran, however I changed ir in the interests of forum harmony. And to be honest, 'Pathway to the Ascot Gold Cup' would be nore appropriate. The Staying division last year was weak. The top horses weren't seen enough and meant that a substandard...

If any of the moderators feel this is spam, feel free to delete it, but thought given some of the discussions on here last summer they would be of interest to some. There are some articles that can be read on the subject here Timeform top middle-distance performers in Racehorses of 2010 140...

Hear me out before shooting me down! We have horses in 2 divisions of the 5f handicap at Southwell on Tuesday whose chances are related to strength of one particular formline. Basically Kheley and Thoughtsofstardom finished first and second in an apprentice handicap over course and distance on...

Press Release here

£30 quid to get in*. A bar where draught lager is unavailable so a bottle of Magners at £4.50 is the prefered option and £4.30 for a cheese and onion pasty. Six races a day. Okay you get good racing, but value for money doesn't seem a big priority. *On a freebie myself but speaking up for the...

Given the success of a similar type of thread last week where I nailed the Old Roan Chase, I thought I'f give you all the benefit of my wisdom for this race. Can anyone tell me why The Tother One isn't 2/1? We established last week that Tom George can't train steeplechasers so Nacarat is the...

Can one of you jumps experts explain to me why Albertas Run is running off 168 and Tartak is off 153 tomorrow? Given he had just over 5l in hand over him over course and distance on their last starts is strikes me that the handicapper has taken a little bit of a chance on Tartak. I also note...

Think it's about time I added another to the office! Anyone know where I might get a good one of a horse called Harbinger, ideally winning the King George. I don't want a mural so it will just have to be Harbinger, rather than Harbinger and the beaten horses, but if anyone has any ideas?

Quite a good interview today with a man I continue to find it pretty difficult to warm to but I thought it a prety hypocritical stance of him when he says in one breath 'I'll say what I want to say and won't not say something just because it suits somebody else for me not to say it' Then when...
