UPDATE Just when you dont need it, I am in the midst of one of my worst runs I can remember. That is racing and betting I suppose. Samingarry was never at the races which was disappointing and Theatre Queen repeated her tricks,but in the end it didnt make much of a difference. I though […]
Cheltenham Handicap Chases As with the handicap hurdles I have had a look at the handicap chases. There are a few more areas that I dived into that I hadn’t with the hurdlers that you may find interesting. Finding micro-angles has been tricky but I have uncovered something which can be found at the bottom […]
Following the recent push to encourage more people to take the Geegeez Gold trial, the chap behind it (Matt Bisogno) has recorded a video which demonstrates exactly what it is. So, if you’ve ever wondered what all the fuss is about, check out the video below. If you have dismissed even considering taking a look, […]
Well today was abysmal…and so bad it is time for reflection. After today the Pace Wins The Race experiment is now 8/48…+ 5.83 points. That is just not good enough. It isn’t anything to do with using Pace as a way in, but more my use of it on this blog and the races I […]
I have written an update on today’s runner on that post. Suffice to say it was disappointing all round. However, I will get my money back with interest on him at some point in the future. PACE: 8/44 +9.83 Anyway, onto Thursday which promises to be an exciting day… I am relying on two sets […]

UPDATE As one reader pointed out they have been making money laying my selections in the past few weeks…i should probably start laying my own selections as well 🙂 Fox Appeal fell with no horse around him…i didnt expect his jumping to be an issue and not much we can do about that. I dont […]
Moving on and a long distance handicap chase to get stuck into… 16.10 Warwick Loughalder 11/2 1 point win… I backed him at 7/1 10 minutes ago (18.00) as that was a silly price. There is just about enough left in it for now and he may be bigger come the morning when there is […]
Cheltenham Handicaps Handicap Hurdles Well it was about time I started thinking about the Festival wasn’t it. Today I want to have a look at the handicap hurdles. This is an overview and looks at all the races combined, rather than individual races/trends etc. That will come in time. For now I want to see […]
UPDATE: well that was over before it started. A horse that likes to bowl along in front/ track pace was held up and never really put in the race. The ground didnt look good to soft that is for sure. Maybe connections thought it was too tacky and decided to save him for another […]
