    First Season Sires.

    The FSS are certainly producing a good number of winners. I reckon they are just shy of 200 for the season (197)

    Cruelty is galloping horses without doing sufficient road work to strengthen the bones (ie completing the bone remodelling stage.) EG Godolphin have their 2yos on the gallops immediately after the 6 week breaking in programme. (see their videos on Youtube) A large % of trainers in the UK which...

    Years of walking courses to find the going reports are less than accurate and some a complete joke means I don't believe what is published. It depends on who is using the going stick as to what readings are given. Check the difference between Sunday and Monday This mornings official BHA going...

    The bias towards good ground at these meetings is a huge disadvantage when you have a horse that performs on good/firm going. When the muppets decided to dig up the original turf on the straight and replace it, the going has never been equal across the course. Unfortunately you need to watch...

    Kurious looks like a very nice sort. Godolphin thought their horse was quick but was burned off at the latter end of the race. The second horse is owned by the same connections and looks useful too.

    8.30 Wolves - used all his overseas experience to take the mickey out of the regular UK jocks. Some of the other jocks in that race need to consider if they are up to the job. The French jocks riding three winners on Champions day certainly backed up my belief that the standard of jocks is...

    I took less than 16/1. I should guess that all the clever money was on and no bets at the track which is why it drifted like a barge.

    It will be interesting to see how many more prevail over the next four weeks, and whether they have much improvement.
