Yearly Archives: 2018

Top winner for Gary and the team. Original quote: "Lord Clenaghcastle - Has been too keen early on but hopefully he'll settle more today over this longer trip (1m) and give a better showing of himself. The in-form Duke Of North looks the clear one to beat. "

Great shout at 25/1 from Harry. Original quote: "Jackfinbar - Might turn into a trappy little race with only 5 runners. Our colt ran well over in France last time - beaten just a short-head over 1m4f, but ran as is this step up to 1m6f will suit. Jim Crowley a plus in the saddle…

Did well from a bad draw - one to watch next time! Original quote: "Outrage - Will appreciate the ease in grade and has come forward with each run this season when running in much better races. The draw out in stall eight is not ideal as historically there has been a strong bias towards…

Only just failed by a neck for Gary and the team, but still a top run. Original quote: "Light Of Air - Has been running reasonably well of late. Has Begun to drop down the weights and should have strong e/w claims here today."

Great front-running performance from the front form Mick's horse. Original quote: "Eponina - Very trappy little race with only 3 runners. Our horse is better than what she showed last time here after running far too freely and using up too much in the early stages. Same mark but we put a 7lb claimer on…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Pour L'Amour has been ultra consistent and we can see no reason why she shouldn't get involved again today. She was left too much to do when she last ran up in Musselburgh, but Andrew Mullen knows her better now so with all conditions suitable today we hope that she…

Help on well to land the spoils. Original quote: "Channel Packet - Yet to win a race from 11 starts but has hit the crossbar a few times. Handles this quick ground well and racing off a career-low mark, plus we are dropped in grade. Not a great race and certainly one of the more…

Solid each-way run. Original quote: "Jack Nevison - Likes to race up with the pace and that will be the plan again here from stall 5. Is much better for a recent run at the track after 3 months off and also weighted to go well off a 2lbs lower mark and back down to…

Came with a well-timed run to take this for the Michael Scudamore team. Original quote: "Lawmaking - Got home by a short head at a big price at Kempton last time out. Only up 3lbs for that, which seems fair. That came in the first-time blinkers but we are mixing it up with the first-time…

Another top win at Beverley for this horse. Original quote: "Bondi Beach Boy: Loves the Beverley track - not at his best at Doncaster last time when running fifth but the time before was a solid second here on his first run for us. Bringing him back to his beloved Beverley off the same mark…

No chance with the winner but still landed the e/w money. Original quote: "Havisham - Won well on handicap debut but struggled off his revised mark. Back in a novice here but he's got to improve to beat the favourite but should be placed and if the hot favourite disappoints then we would have every…

Another solid run from Mick's horse - only just failed but looks worth following. Original quote: "Sellingallthetime - Hard to win with (last win 2015) but a consistent sort that rarely runs a bad race. Trying him back up to 1m6f here but stayed the trip well three starts ago at Wolves to give it…

Solid e/w run from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Fieldsman: On a bit of a losing run - last win came back in July 16, but has been running well in defeat of late. Ninth run for us though and on the whole has run well without getting his head in front. Very well handicapped on…

Stayed on powerfully to land this. Original quote: "Thundercloud - Has returned from her break in good order - winning once and running third the other twice. Same mark as last time but this is a drop in grade so that helps. If running to the form of her recent third over course and distance…

Powered away to win well. Original quote: "Loch Ness Monster - Delighted with his debut run when second at Pontefract earlier this month. Has come out of that race really well and we feel he'll take the beating here with that experience under his belt."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Buckland Beau - Has not been easy to win with on the turf but I am certain he has it in him. Fit and well at home so if he takes to Haydock then he's well-handicapped here and would have a decent each-way chance."

Got going a bit to late but still ran on well to take the e/w money - one to watch. Original quote: "Lady Safeara - Ran well last time out but clearly needed further. This trip should suit better and she will love the ground. Hopefully she can go close."

Ran on well and a horse to note for next time. Original quote: "Gerry The Glover - Dropped in grade here and that gives us a much better chance. Apprentice race and we've a good riding on in Tom Greatrex and his 5lb claim is a big plus too. Only 6 runners and with the…

A much better run from Daniel's horse Original quote: "Medrano - Had no chance the way the race panned out last time. This looks a very competitive race but Medrano (2) has a decent draw and if they go a decent pace should be able to get involved. "

Gutsy win from Scott's runner. Original quote: "Deia Glory - Highly-tried last time in the G2 Queen Mary at Ascot so will find this a lot easier. Prior to that run had shown a lot of promise with three good runs, including a close second at Beverley in early June in the Hilary Needler. The…
