Well done Harry just the one for me today 15.00 JOYEUX MACHIN 4/1 GLA :)
13.45 AMIRITE 12/1 14.20 SHARJAH 9/2 Going for a 5th win in this race to surpass Hurricane Fly's record in the race GLA :)
Well done Harry Remastered wish he'd done that at Newbury last time when I was on but you win some you lose some. 13.10 VINA ARDANZA 12/1 RODANICHE 40/1 Not a race I'd usually get involved in but its usually very competitive and often good pointer to Pertemps Final at Cheltenham just the 10 entered for Gordon Elliott. 13.45 ZANAHYR 5/1 I'd dont think Bob Olinger stays 14.20 FURY ROAD 11/1. These will all be live on ITV4 this afternoon GLA :)
Couple of winners yesterday 6/1 and 4/1. Chepstow 14.50 THE BIG BREAKAWAY 11/1 Ive got my WAYFINDER antepost docket as well but bigger odds today. Leopardstown 13.10 BLUE LORD 5/2 13.45 IL ETAIT TEMPS 9/1 Whilst I've backed against Facile Vega today is he wins which he is likely to do I've had a few quid on for the Ballymore at 6/1. I think it pays whatever you think Mullins is going to do do the opposite and he said in stable tour he thinks he looks a stayer. 15.00 GALLANT JOHN JO 11/1 BALLYSHANNON ROSE 20/1 GLA :)
Hope everyones had a good Christmas. Finally some decent racing now the cold snap is over. I've done a King George preview:
Bravemansgame- Felthan winner last year so CD winner but always felt is overhyped was last at Aintree behind Lhomme Presse and Ahoy Senor at Aintree. Trainer superb record in race
L’Homme Presse - My favourite horse in training. Jumped like a bunny last season culminating in winning the RSA Chase. Defied top weight at Newcastle recently concern might be the ground.
Envoi Allen - Upped in trip last time and appears that’s what he wants now. That race isn’t typically strongest of Grade 1s. 6/1 looked OK on Christmas Eve 4/1 starting to look skinny enough but understandable given the drift on LH and BMG
Hitman - Won as expected at Haydock. First go at 3 miles. Personally backed him in the Old Roan at Aintree and was annoyed he didn’t win. He seems to ‘dog it’ a lot ie doesn’t want to go through with it. Still has to be respected considering trainer and owner (boooo! Fergy) and jockey won race with Clan Des Obeaux few years ago. Only a 6 yo so should be coming into his prime now.
Ahoy Senor - I still haven’t given up on this horse but his jumping is very sticky at times. His best form tends to come in the spring at Aintree. Something like the Aintree Bowl or even the Grand National in time might be more suitable. Beaten by BMG last year in the Feltham.
Royale Pagielle - Has put in some big runs to win Peterborough Chase twice under top weight and is a CD winner but does need it like a bog to be seen at his best. Wouldn’t be surprised if withdrawn.
Elderado Allen - Likable sort winning the Denman Chase this year and was 2nd in an Arkle. Wasn’t beaten too far by Bravesmangame at Wetherby but suspicion is not up to this level Colin Tizzard did win race couple of times though RIP Cue Card
Frodon- Winner of race in 2020. Usually very good jumper but not nearly as slick last 2 starts. Can never entirely dismiss but suspicion is might be slightly on the downgrade at 10 years of age.
Millers Bank - Grade 1 winner at Aintree this year. Unproven over 3 miles and well beaten at Punchestown when attempting. I think we’ve seen a few shocks in this race in recent years and don’t think we’ll have one this year
Given ground concerns for some of these and first run in open company ENVOI ALLEN just about makes appeal at the prices.
Others today at Kempton 12.45 GOSHEN 4/1 13.20 THYME HILL 6/1 13.55 EPATANTE 8/1 Wetherby 13.35 CHANTRY HOUSE 7/1 Leopardstown 14.20 SAINT ROI 3/1 Limerick 14.40 AUTHORISED ART 12/1 GLA :)
Good winner yesterday Edwardstone winning the Tingle Creek hope you took the 14s for the Champion Chase. Great card at Fairyhouse this afternoon. Going for these today 13.25 MARINE NATIONALE 4/1 13.55 BANBRIDGE 3/1 Have topped up for The Arkle Joseph O Brien often plays around with trip with his best novices eg Le Richebourg and Fakir Doudaires examples of this and he’s entered in 2 mile and 2 1/2 mile races at Xmas 14.30 KLASSICAL DREAM 5/1 I don’t think he’s out of this and interesting first run over 2 1/2 miles. I don’t know if he’s an out and out stayer and remember he’s a Supreme winner but ultimately Honeysuckle will likely win and then she’s 2/1 for the Champion Hurdle 15.05 LUCKY MAX 12/1 GLA :)
Going for 14.05 PERCUSSION 16/1 Hoping he gets in a nice rhythm :) FORTESCUE 25/1 Sandown 13.45 BOOTHILL 3/1 14.55 EDWARDSTONE 6/1. Also going to back WAYFINDER 12/1 Antepost
For Welsh Grand National 27th December becoming bit of a course specialist and he’s running in the trial tomorrow. Big weekend for the Cheltenham bets also with Edwardstone Honeysuckle and Banbridge all declared to run :) GLA
Thanks Harry. I do prefer the flat so I post but bets are for interest only 15.05 Hennessey REMASTERED 8/1 THREEUNDERTHREEFIVE 10/1 There is a horse in here called Lord Accord who I think could be a good bet for the 3 mile handicap chase on the first day of the Cheltenham festival so worth putting in the notebook even though its November winning today would hinder that mind.
14.10 EPATANTE 4/1 I've had a good bet on HONEYSUCKLE for the Champion Hurdle 7/2 generally available to go out on a high next March (she is to become a broodmare after that) others I've backed
Arkle Chase - BANBRIDGE 12/1 Really liked his Arkle Trial win Arkle winners arent always the obvious horses based on hurdles form eg last years winner Edwarstone.
Gold Cup - STATTLER - 16/1 Generally available similar to onwers other horse Galvin but he's no boat and has a little touch of class about his
Champion Chase - EDWARDSTONE 14/1 - He'll probably run in the Tingle Creek and I think he can beat Greaneteen having won the King Henry VIII Novices Chase well last year over course and distance. Energumene and Shishkin are the obvious 2 but Shishkin is on the comeback trail and I thought Edwardstone was very likable last year and Alan King will look after him and won the race with Voy Por Ustedes few years back he could easily go off half that price GLA :)
Well done all well done last Saturday as well doze with Something Enticing. Tomorrow 14.20 UMBRIGADO 12/1 and Sunday 14.55 SEVERANCE 10/1 I'll do a double on both got to be worth trying to figure out the Gold Cup Handicap/Greatwood Hurdle its my birthday on Sunday as well so hoping for a bl@@dy good one! GLA :)
Good luck doze. 3 winners last night todays plays.
15.50 ECHO ZULU 6/1 16.29 CASA CREED 16/1 17.10 GUNITE 5/1 17.50 ABOVE THE CURVE 5/1 18.30 ELITE POWER 7/1 19.10 REGAL GLORY 12/1 19.55 CLAIRIERE 5/1 20.40 WAR LIKE GODDESS 4/1
I saw Flightline end of last year and you learn not to always believe the hype with horses but I think this horse is something special. 21.40 is the racetime on ITV4 dirt racing not everyones cup of tea but if you've got the box on and you haven't got it on already switchover because I think you'll something special GLA :)
Few for this evening at the Breeders Cup 19.00 PERSIAN FORCE 9/1 19.40 WONDER WHEEL 13/2 20.20 PLEASANT PASSAGE 9/1 21.00 FORTE 4/1 21.40 VICTORIA ROAD 8/1 GLA :)

15.35 KING OF STEEL 10/1 GLA :)
Well done Harry. 7.10 Moonee Valley The Cox Plate EL BODEGON 5/1 3rd in Great Voltigeur it’s a race that generally worth following the first 3 in last years winner Yibir went and won Breeders Cup Turf. Also LAWS OF INDICES 25/1. Both horses are Group 1 winners in Europe GLA :)
