April 2023

Hi all,

It was heavy ground at Doncaster for the start of the new British flat season. And the heavy going description was backed up by the times.

I was chomping at the bit for the return of the flat and the big fields at Doncaster. However, after the last two days I wished I hadn’t as it’s been a bit of a mare to be honest.

Less of my travails on the punting front.  And instead let’s get back to the action on the track on Lincoln Day. Inside today's main piece I review the best of Saturday's action. Plus, there's a look at today's feature race at Ludlow.

Hi all,

One of those rare Sunday’s when we have some decent racing this side of the Irish Sea. It wouldn’t be out of place on a weaker Saturday.

There’s day 2 of Doncaster’s Lincoln meeting. The card isn’t of the same quality as yesterday’s but its competitive enough.

If you’re having a bet at Doncaster today it should pay to go with horses with proven form in heavy ground as it did on Saturday.

Ascot provides decent card of late season jumping action. But most of the focus will be on Leopardstown where 1,000 & 2,000 Guineas Trials are the highlight of a seven race card. Jumps fans in Ireland aren’t left out either.  Up at Downpatrick the track hosts its most valuable race the Randox sponsored Ulster National (4:00).

Inside today’s main piece I look at the best of Sunday’s action.
