Good morning all,

Well yesterday went well with Medburn Dream winning at an SP of 12-1 but there was plenty of bigger prices around in the morning and I hope one or two of you took advantage. Wadswick Court was a good winner at Cartmel too, and only the main selection let us down for the treble!

It's Worcester on the cards for me today, not the greatest racing in the world but it is competitive and there's an interesting Juvenile Hurdle on the card that's worth going for a look at. I'll give you my best bets on the card a little later on. Read More »The Worst Car Park In The World

Good morning all,

The start of the last Bank Holiday Weekend before Christmas (there's a frightening thought) sees plenty of racing across the country and although thunderstorms will be moving in later on today, it hopefully won't spoil our enjoyment of what promises to be an interesting day's racing.

As now tends to be the case on a Saturday, I had a root through the TV races yesterday and came up with a guide for the majority of today's action at Beverley, Newmarket and Goodwood. Here's hoping for a few winners.

Good morning all,

The start of what looks a busy old week coming up for me, with fixtures both North and South that I'll be attending. And the first of those comes today, as I awake to the sound of (hungry, I'm guessing) seagulls at half past six this morning on Hove's seafront, as I'm off to the second day of Brighton's August fixture.

Brighton, much like Fakenham, is one of those tracks you have to visit at least once in your racing life, despite being well out of your way. I first visited here a couple of years ago and rather fell in love with the place, for some inexplicable reason, and try to come here at least once a year.

Good morning all,

It's about as quiet a day as we're going to get in the Summertime as far as racing is concerned, with Ayr cancelled due to false ground because of the amount of rainfall they have had. It's remarkable to think how much has actually fallen at the venue, given how pleasant it's been further South these last few days, but hopefully they can get back on track before much longer. Entries for the Ayr Gold Cup have to be in today and I'll be casting an eye over them later in the week.

As for the weekend just gone, the two I liked at Rasen ran no sort of race, but for those of you who read the Eyecatchers feature, I was absolutely delighted with the run of Where's Cherry at Southwell yesterday. Read More »Busman's Holiday
