Goodwood 2.35 PIPETTE ran no sort of race in the 1000 Guineas at HQ earlier this month but, even allowing for being drawn on the wrong side that day, that run was too bad to be true. She was well backed in the morning of that race (partly due to being a Pricewise selection) and it [...]

Newbury 2.20 SOCIETY ROCK was a most impressive winner at Ascot on his last start and James Fanshawe looks to have a very progressive young sprinter on his hands. Connections have elected to come here and carry a penalty rather then head to York earlier in the week for the Duke Of York Stakes to take [...]

The Bettrends Snippet was in winning form on the second day of York’s Dante meeting when 11/1 shot JOHANNES landed the opening totepool Flexi Betting Handicap. Having been available in the morning at around the 14/1 mark punters obviously agreed with our team as his SP returned a good 3pts shorter. Regular readers were left [...]

York 1.40 5f sprints down the Knavesmire are always competitive heats and the opening race on today’s card looks no different. The one that does catch the eye though is Richard Fahey’s JOHANNES. He makes his seasonal debut in this event but with a very decent record fresh that shouldn’t be a concern and if you [...]

Epsom 2.55 Denman will be the star attraction for most people today and rightly so, but those looking for a spot of value could do worse than support Andrew Balding’s FINAL VICTORY in the Great Metropolitan Handicap at Epsom. The trainer is on record stating that his runner is better with some give under foot so [...]

3.35 The opening contest of the evening is a particularly difficult event to try and solve as most of the field look open to improvement and have the potential to be top class animals. However, one that has already proven himself at the top level is VALE OF YORK. Saeed bin Suroor’s three-year-old was a decent [...]

2.55 I, along with many others, thought that SECRECY was almost a cert when he raced here a fortnight ago but he was beaten into third that day when a very strong favourite. His race behind the ultra-consistent Snaafy was a respectable effort and he may improve for his first run of the season. However, he [...]
