Daily Racing Thread Saturday 23rd. November 2019

Not sure what the weather is like up at Haydock but I am guessing they will get some rain this morning..

As long as Haydock stays good to soft and no worse I will be backing Lisnager Oscar each way in the 2.25pm but will wait to near race time to see what the weather is doing..

Haydock 3pm Bristol de Mai 5/4 . Exciting little race where I am siding with a horse who seems to thrive at this course and is good fresh. Frodon might well push him close. Lostinttranslation has to prove he can mix it in the big league and Ballyoptic is surely not good enough.

Really hoping Altior wins the big clash at Ascot.

Good luck all..

 

Two i like ew are:

2:25 - Ask Ben 14/1
3:40 - Station Master 16/1

Have a great day

 

3:50 Ascot - Zhiguli 40/1 ew. Backed it on debut last time when never got the chance to perform after being badly hampered before unseating rider. Todays race looks much better but at the price i'm willing to risk a couple of quid

 

What makes you think he’s primed. Do you know something? Another grand servant he looked finished with the game on his last appearance.

 

He got done on ground that was too fast for him over a trip too short. In my opinion both runs this season have been full of promise and he’s down 5lbs as a result of Paddy not being hard on him in either race.

My opinion is that Haydock will suit, this race is poor and with the weight difference I can see him going very well.

I’ve not heard anything from the yard, but I did read this morning that Paddy B likes him in his Unibet column.

 

Wedding for me today so scrounging info for a change
Let's hope you are all in fine form .
Good luck all

 

A no bet race for me but I think Altior gets turned over today. Extra trip, testing ground and a top class rival in what is really a two horse race could just do for him today.

 

Well, home work done, lets see if it can pay off... #throwingdarts

12:05 - Glory and Fortune, Thebannerking
12:40 - Back To Th Thatch, Thelingy
1:15 - Midnight Shadow
1:50 - Kateson, Whoshothesheriff
2:25 - Umbrigado, Stoney Mountain, Eight and Bob
3:00 - BDM
3:40 - Diger Daudaie, Perfect Candidate, Zerachiel

See how the betting goes in the ring but these are my fancies...

Good luck to all who are playing today...

 

14,25

Echiquier 25/1 e/w

 

seems odd don’t it dog ! either they can’t be bothered to pay entry fees , or have no need of the prize money or just plain stupid, or all three . there are some canny trainers who do just that in lower grade races , just collect some feed money for essentially schooling round .

 

Does anyone else think Cyrname is massively overrated?
Might win over todays trip and conditions mind.

 

he could be, which is why the race today is fascinating. We’ve got the wonderful Altior stepping up in trip and an unknown horse in many regards against him.

Im really looking forward to the racing today

 

So am I...hugely exciting match up that and I also think the Betfair chase could prove a classic.

 

I'm annoyed the Betfair is one of the Scoop 6 races. Forced me into selecting one which I wasn't going to do. Lostintranslation is what I've gone for but not with any real confidence. Would love to see Frodon do it.

 

Frodon is all or nothing today.

 

Far me it from me to argue with the Bumper king but i have been told that Bravemansgame is strongly fancied ??

 

100% against Altior in the King George and im against him today as well although not quite as strongly in a 3 horse race over only 2m5. If Cyrname repeats his Ascot runs and Altior runs left at all his fences again then I think Cyrname wins, worryingly weak in the betting though, looking like he could touch 2/1 or bigger after being 11/8 a few days ago.

Ive done a double Cyrname and Bristol De Mai but ill be having a single bet on Cyrname if he goes 2/1, thats too big imo and stick with my gut over the market weakness.
