    Royal Ascot Comp Final Day

    Apologies for the late settlement of bets - just got home. Another poor day to be fair with a few small exceptions as Cyclonic breezed to the front in the days contest, but we find Fabio at the head of affairs overall still due to consolidating his position with another day of good profit. Day...

    Royal Ascot Comp Day 4

    All bets settled and not a great day today unless you are Savethehumans, who had the pleasure of banking his cash early and watching most of the rest of us flounder with only 3 others from 25 showing a profit. Lets see what tomorrow can bring - rain coming down heavily in Ascot at present I am...

    Royal Ascot Comp Day 2

    All day one bets settled ( please check your selections and let me know if I have made any mistakes ).

    Royal Ascot competition

    Golden Horn

    I know this may be a little premature as the horse may have one more run in him before being trotted off to stud. Although I usually feel horses get retired to stud too early in the case of Golden Horn it is perhaps understandable in that they have not wrapped him in cotton wool and allowed him...

    Dickie Hughes the Trainer

    Dickie has his first runner on Thursday at Epsom and so I just wondered what the forum's thoughts were with regard his prospects of making it in this ever so competitive field. I have looked at his website and he is yet to have a horses in training section as some trainers do, I imagine this is...

    Riding Instructions

    I have just been pleased to see Gavlar win at Goodwood after being perplexed by the naivity of his racing instruction on the two previous occasions - this prompted me to post a thread venting my frustartions at tactics we see employed everyday in racing even in the year 2015, a time by which...

    Whip Fiddlers (Jockeys in a finish)

    I am not sure if this is something I am just noticing more since first doing so or if it has always been the case but I am seeing a lot of totally unnecessary whip fiddling and reign wringing from Jocks in a finish lately. In my view a jockey should have his finish prepared long before he...

    Scottish Independence

    I thought I would start a thread on this very emotive subject just to see what views the esteemed forum members on here hold. My penny's worth for what it's worth I hope that the people of Scotland will vote to remain part of the UK, the reasons I feel this are less to do with any...

    Daily Thread Tuesday 20th May

    Racing today from Nottingham, Yarmouth, Newcastle, Bath and an evening card at Warwick. Although quality is thin on the ground today quantity is certainly not, as whenever this is the case it's very possible to find a few selections worth a punt, nothing strongly fancied but still of...

    Racing today from Lingfield, Warwick, Exeter and Wolverhampton & Thurles and Dundalk from across the water. I wanted to post up a horse in the maiden at Lingfield. The horse in question gave a really creditable account of himself last week in a race with a hot favourite that was always likely...
