Postponed wins again then.

That Haggas horse looked unlucky though.


If I knew Minding would run in the Arc I would back her to smash these colts.

2 selections for me (that I'll put up anyway <laugh>

3.40 York - Postponed - 7/4

Was odds on for the King George last month when pulled out with a respiratory infection but reports is he is back to 100% Last tasted defeat over a year ago and seems to get better with age! Altho yet to win at this distance he isn't the only one in the field to prove he can do it over this distance with the majority of horses have shown best fork over a mile and half but the way he travels in his races suggests he has the speed for this drop back in trip. Has the pacemaker in the race and this has been the plan. Will go off alot shorter!

Hello, all. It may be a blatantly obvious thing to say but I think today’s action on the Knavesmire can be split into 2 halves – the Group heats and the tricky handicaps. I don’t think from a personal punting perspective much appeals in the former but I will put one up in the latter category (but not in that opening sprint. Cor blimey that looks impossible and in my view anyone wagering in it should be given one of those medals for bravery).

THE WAGON WHEEL (4.55), not really a lovely name for a filly, was very well fancied on her debut at Rippers and made no mistake as she stayed on well to oblige that day. Following that she most certainly doesn’t seem to have been harshly treated by the handicapper and gets into this affair on a perch as low as 73 which certainly takes my eye. She’s also a nicely bred sort (and deffo much better than a 73 rated performer on breeding) as her dam was Listed place and her only sibling to run, thus far, is a dual winner (including a £30,000 heat at Ascot last time). The old girl is housed in the Fahey barn and they certainly know how to win this heat having won 2 of its 4 runnings. The Wagon Wheel’s opening run was over 5 furlongs and the step up to 6, here, should be no problems because as I said above she stayed on very well on debut. Tough looking nursery but I think this one has the capabilities to go close.

Good luck all.

Great call Barney. Well done any other winners today. Can't believe in that 4.30 race THE CASHEL MAN takes out most of the field and can still keep 3rd.

Before I look at York, Mr Haggas has 4 runners at Chepstow. All 4 head the market so an acca paying around 45/1 will do for me.

Well that was a load of rubbish. Such is my luck today I'm going to have a few quid win on this outsider in the next at Chepstow. Nearly refused to run only 4 days ago but is out quickly again today.
 
Assume 7/4 Killarney 6.50 - has been running some solid races in defeat and this looks a good opportunity to visit the winners enclosure once more. The mile looks perfect for her and she ran a cracker last week behind another progressive type in Adool, doesn't appear to be anything as unexposed in here and she's the one to beat.

4.20 Renneti 12/1 - I've probably wasted enough money on him but I'll give him one last chance with Smullen aboard.

4.55 Spin Doctor 22/1 - Was outclassed at Ascot but he's third at Beverly gives him a chance he should be better over 6 furlongs.

Pretty awful from those two. Note to self - never back Renneti again. Anyway we move on and the next at Kilarney has one of the most disappointing of horses in Schubert so we'll be taking him on with the Weld horse Look Closer.
