The one thing I remember about Catterick was a 25/1 winner that I'd waited months for only to put 1/- ew on it. Having gone through the entire Timeform Racehorses annual one year I unearthed this horse who "showed great alacrity from the gate" and "barely stayed 5f". So I went through all the courses looking for one that had no uphill bits and found Catterick, described almost as downhill all the way. So I waited for this horse to run at Catterick on fast going. Meanwhile I had watched it run on unsuitable courses including the stiff Ascot 5f where it was running everything off their legs until inside the final furlong and was unplaced. Finally the day came; Catterick, firm going 25/1 and up against the top sprinter of the year (Granville Greta, I think). It was an exceptionally fast 5f but my horse won in a photo. The horse was called Conita. How's that for memory.

So my message is look for a horse who is exceptionally fast from the gate but just can't maintain if against top sprinters on stiff tracks. If you can find one it will not have won anywhere else and will be a massive price.

Ron: You ever hear of a horse called Sica Dan? He was blindingly fast but a quarterhorse really. Remember he managed to win a 5f race at Kempton (a very fast 5f on turf) on firm ground. Just about fell over the line to win by the narrowest margin at around 6/1, certainly not 25/1, man that was a good one for you.

A couple i really fancy today are 2.15 Pontefract FUJIN DANCER 4/1 and 3.45 FAVOURITE GIRL 18/1 took 11/1 llast night but seem sto have drifted overnight, hopefully it stays that way as i think this one has a cracking EW chance.

Good luck to everyone who plays today :emoticon-0150-hands

Well well, first selection post produces a winner at a very nice price of 9/2, good to see some of you followed my lead well done punters, have one of these from me

I have backed this Reachtothestars, I think he might get it easy in front and he likes the polytrack
 
One i really like the look of runs in the 3.45 Pontefract FAVOURITE GIRL a 5lb claimer takes this talented mare down to a rating of 85 which puts her well in at the weights goes in any conditions and takes a slight drop back in class having competed in some decent races, is up in distance to 6f (where she has some decent form)from her recent runs which were over 5f, whilst the draw is not ideal she displayed signs of returning to her best LTO in a Fillies Handicap (Class 1 Listed) and runs again tomorrow in a similar race but less competitive, if she runs to her mark she has the abilty to take this and at odds of 16/1 she is a decent EW proposition and is my NAP for Monday. I see the two main dangers as BLANCHE DUBAWI 6/1 and MANGO MUSIC 16/1 who both run off very handy marks.
 
Second tip second return on this forum, I do hope some of you had a piece of FAVOURITE GIRL, thought she had it turning for home, will take the place money at 18/1 BOG she ran a cracking race and will be winning soon ....suppose this call for two of these, 100% strike rate on this forum
