Military Academy. Disadvantaged by sedate pace around sharp Lingfield track - will come into his own over further,or off a stronger pace. Conversely, Royal Champion will be noted as a 12f horse. - Not yet,imo.

Bradsell has a worse draw than when failing last year,and it's a stiffer 5f than York,anyway. Conversely, Believing has a plum pitch,.is a c/d winner and looks set to garner her first gp1. Plenty of 5/2 around,too

Futurity 2nd Devil's Point should have no problem with trip or ground, His trainer states he's had his 2 prep runs and looks good to go. However, his Commonwealth Cup entry suggests he may be vulnerable off a strong pace. Tom Marquand travels for the ride on Ten Bob Tony,another that should...

God's Window 3.05C 9/4

What season is it? 1 decent flat card in Ireland, and 5 low grade NH cards otherwise. I do despair. :sleep:

Seems we've turned full circle from the banking crisis, caused,of course , by the banks themselves with their greed in the mortgage markets,and ultimately reponsible for the years of austerity afterwards (ironic that one of its architects - David Cameron - is invited back in to the fold today...

I've long railed against the view that horses are some sort of clockwork that run on rails, to pre-set patterns that can be measured and interpreted arithmetically, and I came across this long and turgid treatise from Willo, which claims exactly that...

Shaqille odds-on,but it's been a while since one won this race. I reckon he's vulnerable on a speed track likely riding at its quickest for a while, and he won't get away with his customary tardy start. They've worked on improving his trapping, but I wouldn't be taking 10/11 they've done so...

Last weeks Lincoln Trial at Wolves often throws up pointers to the big race,and this term's was no exception. 4yo have a good record in the Donny contest and Tacarib Bay (33/1 generally) ran a race full of promise in the trial. From his unpromising draw (11 of 13) , Sean Levey had little choice...

It's my view (all others welcomed) that an understanding of pace is essential for the serious form student,and we've all encountered the mathematicians who believe in applying a set formula with the aid of a stop-watch and basing their selections on that approach. Not for me; pace has many...

Don't know how many caught this, on the Morning Line that Peter Savill is to head up the inquiry into the future of our sport......ffs NO! Remember who sold us out to the bookies in the first place, and his Competetive Racing Iniitiative is directly responsible for the current glut of meetings...

Forum's very slow to load, at the mo. Is it my ineptitude, or do others have the same problem?

Last week I clicked 'bet boost' on a 9/4 shot with bf sportsbook, only to be offered a risible amount @5/2. I quickly clicked off again and placed the original bet @ 9/4. 48 hrs later, it hadn't been settled, but the stake had been deducted from my account. I raised this wth Betfair who simply...

Stormy Ocean - Odds-on, btn 3/4l at Wolves tonight, ran very fresh. The writing was on the wall as he spurned the chance to run in a 50k contest at Chelmsford on Thursday. He's better than he showed here, and worth watching for, nto.

The Flat season looms large, with qualty cards at Donny, the Curragh and Meydan this Saturday Yippee!:D Dipped my toe into a/p waters with the first bet in Donny's showpiece. Notre Belle Bete 12/1 generally. Won the Lincoln trial at Wolves from a wide draw, from fit horses 1st & 2nd in a Kempton...

RyanAir I'll take Conflated (ew) to do the odds-on shot on the likely ground.

I'm back, having taken the advice of a few members, and taken steps to exorcise the cause of my chagrin, and would like to raise a subject close to my heart. How many times do punters claim a horse was 'hooked up', usually one they've bet themseves. not unusual for some to claim more than one in...

The cards are usually in the printed RP on Xmas eve, but it's a strange one this year. Anyone have a clue?

Fairly sure Marb started a thread for this, but darned if I can locate it, so here goes: My 16/1 AP bet (3places) Mohaadeth is looking decidedly useful now, and though Alinquer looks likely to force it, I reckon my bet will do them for a turn of foot. Still a useful bet @ Betfair's 7/1. Also bet...

Start the ball rolling with a bet in the 1st race. Migration is a lightly raced 5yo which had good handicap form until diappointing in a classy Newbury contest in September 2019, a race which apparently cost his manhood. Not seen again until this June , when running a fair race in good company...
