Yearly Archives: 2018

Solid e/w call from Jane. Original quote: "Hows Lucy - Gets weight all round and we also claim 3lbs with the jockey's allowance. Returns to the turf on a fair mark and should love the soft ground. Stays 1m well on the AW so in these conditions this 7f looks ideal. Should have a good…

Only just failed to get up for the Fellowes yard. Original quote: "Feathery - Was very disappointing last time out at Donny but it appears she was in season so hopefully that might have been why. Step back up in trip should suit her and the ground shouldn't be an issue. She has been covered…

Another solid run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Lady Alavesa - The horses are going well at the moment and really I think this one should have won last time when second at Windsor. Ran on well that day and has come on a fair bit after 6 months off. Ground is fine and so…

Nice call from Gary. Original quote: "This is Canberra Cliff's first outing for me today and I am pleased with her work at home. First run here at Brighton but can't see any reason why the track won't suit. After a successful campaign in 2017 winning four times over this trip the handicapper may just…

A gutsy win from Julia's 4 year-old. Original quote: "Oceanus - Has been running well on the AW but is a better horse on turf. He will appreciate softer ground and is in great form at home. We would hope he has a good e/w chance."

A solid e/w run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Last run was Swift Fox's best run to date when winning at Lingfield. If seeing out 6f (no reason why he shouldn't) he should have every chance again here. Only 2lbs higher but we offset that with Charlie's 3lb claim. "

Well-backed and the money was right - Gay's horses are going well at the moment. Original quote: "Ubla - Returns to the AW here after running down the field at Windsor last time out on the turf. We are also up to 7f again as probably just got a bit run off his feet last…

Ran well at 20/1 for Gay and the team. Original quote: "Capla Demon - A fair sort that has only had two career runs. Will get a handicap mark after today and first run on the turf. Hopeful the ground will suit but you never really know until in race conditions. Lowly-graded race and hard…

Solid effort from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Fieldsman - We were delighted with his first two runs for the yard - when third and fourth. The return to a mile will suit and we are a pound lower than running third here two starts back. A bit to find with the winner that day -…

Stayed on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Beyeh - Fit from a spell hurdling but returns to the level here. Won't mind the ground and has won off this mark on the flat in the past. Looks a poor race so that must give us a decent chance, especially as conditions will…

Got back to winning ways for the Loughnane camp. Original quote: "Tigerwolf - Very unlucky not to hold on to the win down in Brighton earlier in the week and just seemed to idle when he hit the front. Returning to the AW today shouldn't be a problem and if there is a good pace…

Another solid e/w effort from one of Gay's horses on the day. Original quote: "Oswald is a nice horse that is having it's first run for us. Yet to win from 6 starts but has run some solid races over this 7f trip and has settled in really well with us. Track, trip and conditions…

Ran on really well to take this for Mark and the team. Original quote: "Moxy Mares is having his first run back after his winter break and his first start in a handicap, which looks like a competitive race. He is working well at home but should come on from the run today and has…

Solid effort from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Yeah Baby Yeah - Trappy little race but Baby is well after a good second at Kempton a few months ago and been kept fresh since. Cheekpieces are on for the first time here and this is actually a drop down in class. Softer ground is fine too…

Showed a great turn of foot from the front to take this for Mick. Original quote: "Sputnik Planum - Great win for this 4 year-old last time at Chelmsford on debut for us. Has come out of that race well but is up 8lbs here and back on the turf. More needed in this better…

Well back but a terrific effort from Mick's horse at 200/1 - one to watch. Original quote: "Gibeno - Been running over a lot further than today's 7f trip but only had a handful of races so far so still very much work in progress. Hoping today will teach him more and also give us…

Solid call from Gay here. Original quote: "Robsdelight - Ran a blinder on debut at Doncaster and did ok last time at HQ - the softer ground here will help a lot and draw 4 is fine. Aaron knows the horse well and takes off a handy 3lbs so if running to his debut run…

Top call from Henry! Original quote: "Nickname Exit - Fifth last time out at Chepstow on first run for us but has improved at home for that outing and is down 4lbs here. Actually with the jockey also claiming 8lbs we are 12lbs better off than last time and that combined with that last run…

Nice to see Oliver's horse bouncing back. Original quote: "Jurby had a bad fall last time at Hereford - and that resulted in Leighton injuring his neck. It was a bit of a strange one as he's usually a good jumper, it was a silly incident where he went to take off then changed his…

Great run from Dave's horse - only just touched off at 16/1 but a horse to follow based on that. Original quote: "Lucky Beggar - Returns after 6 months off but has done some nice recent racecourse gallops and seems in really good form at home. Returns on a few pounds lower than and won't…
