Yearly Archives: 2019

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Zamperini - Hopefully the step up in distance for Zamperini will help. Stayed on strongly for fourth last time over a tad shorter. It's an apprentice race so you have to be careful, but should give a good account of himself. Rhys Clutterbuck, who claims 7lbs, takes the ride."

Nice winner for Mark. Original quote: "Dream Magic is more of a Wolverhampton specialist, but due to the lack of races there we have been forced to take our chance at Lingfield. He disappointed a little last time out so we are trying blinkers on him today to try and re-focus him! Cameron Noble is…

Top call from Gay - only failed by a neck. Original quote: "Cosmelli - CD winner here after winning the Northumberland Vase here last June - been frustrating since but is now only a pound higher than that success. The horse drives us a bit mad, as he's got the ability but just doesn't always…

Stayed on well for the Oliver yard. Original quote: "Mrs Grey - Open race but is in good heart. Ground and the step up in trip from 2m to 2m5f will hopefully bring out a bit more improvement. Small each-way claims today."

It was worth the wait - great shout from Julia. Original quote: "Limerick Lord - Has been very consistent and now back at Southwell in a grade that is ideal. He is fresh and well and the wide draw will actually suit him. He should be thereabouts again, but hopefully win!"

Place money landed. Original quote: "Champagne Mondays - Delighted with his win at Lingfield last time out and only a pound higher for that. Acts just as well here at Southwell (CD winner) - trip fine and Nicola knows the horse well. Looks one of my better chances on the day and should have a…

Easy win for Scott's old-timer. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - The favourite might be hard to topple here as looked impressive last time over CD. However, Crosse Fire has also been running well and wasn't disgraced when 4th last time behind an improving sort in the week. Step up to 7f a bit of a…

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Dark Alliance ran well last time out and was flying home in the final furlong. Oisin Murphy is on board again today, so will have the benefit of knowing him now. We have just over 2 lengths to find with the favourite 'In the Red' but do…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Emenem - Has good form at this track and much better handicapped these days but not been at his best in recent starts and stable well below par at the moment. Good value if a change of fortune occurs."

No chance with the winner - but one to note going forward. Original quote: "Hollywood Road - First run back off a long break so probably best-watched on this occasion."

Just failed to get up for Dave. Original quote: "Warriors Valley - Won well last time at Southwell and we felt he took another step forward that day - 4lbs higher this time looks fair. Certainly going the right way and the switch from Southwell to Lingfield is fine as won here in the past…

Another solid run from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Tavener -  has been running really well of late and remains in good form at home. Taking his racing well so we are back for more. Atzeni a plus in the saddle - has ridden him the last twice and is a proven CD winner here. Into…

Ran on well for second. Original quote: "Deebaj - Has been disappointing since winning but that may be because he has gone up in the weights too much. Should have a good chance but the Ben Pauling horse is going to be hard to beat."

Another winner on the card for Gary. Original quote: "Waikiki Waves - Horse has done well since going chasing. Should definitely run a good race but the pace of the race and the drop back in distance are negatives.  If coping with that, will surely have every chance."

Spot-on from Jamie. Original quote: "Richie Valentine - Hasn't shown a great deal to date on the track but he does show more at home. He jumps nicely and bar the favourite this looks a dire race so that must give us a small chance of hitting the frame. 1 1/2 stars."

Nice winner for Gary. Original quote: "Twenty Twenty - Course & distance winner back in the summer. Obviously on better ground today and hopefully that will bring some improvement out in him today. Josh rides and each-way claims based on the ground and his proven track form. "

Great winner for Dave and the team. Original quote: "Mystical Moon - Running very well when wrong at the weights the other day - running off her mark this time and in really good order at home. Bad race, but fair draw in 6 helps and if running like she's done the last twice -…

With a better draw would have surely won - one to watch. Original quote: "Sea Shack - Has been running very consistently, but never gets any luck with the draw. He is again drawn wide and so has to use up so much energy to be prominent. He seems well at home and I'm sure…

A very easy win for Henry's horse as expected. Original quote: "Generous Day - We are returning to Warwick, as he won well here two runs ago. Didn't quite handle Wetherby last time so is better than that. Only 3lbs higher than when winning two runs back over this CD and in this grade. Had…

Each-way money landed for Gay. Original quote: "Moveonup - Have to give weight away all-round here as the top-rated in the field. First run in a handicap though will help after three okay runs in maidens. Not been out for 194 days but is fit and well - will certainly improve for this but is…
