That's a fair assessment I feel. Were they to meet in two weeks time at Ascot again and all priced at 3-1 I would definitely have my money the Gurkha.

All day one bets settled ( please check your selections and let me know if I have made any mistakes ). The leader board is headed by Stick who responded almost the moment the thread went up yesterday evening, so confident was he of his selection, and Jeannie's Jewel duly obliged, Fabio however...

I think he is underrated - in a sport where the jockeys role is to first and foremost allow the horse the best chance of winning he keeps things simple and does just that, pretty strong in a finish as well. I think he was not given a proper chance when riding the Postponed horses for Cumani and...

Great interview with Adam Kirby - it's what the sport and any sport is really about.

Two races and two very serious race horses. The first Tepin had so many reasons that she should not win and yet did so whilst the last Ballydoyle winner won despite racing on the wrong side. I think that could be a big clue with regard up and coming races as the far side looked well ahead.

Good evening Freddo - my bet of the day at Thirsk and probably at any course tomorrow would be in the 3.55 Warrior Prince which is 4-1 at present. I think all Silvester De Sousa's mounts should be looked at carefully as he misses the Royal Meeting tomorrow to ride at Thirsk and Beverley. Hope...

3.05 Mehmas £50 win 3.40 Profitable £50 win 5.00 Jeannies Jewel £50 win 5.35 Drafted £50 win

I notice there is no comp for the Royal meeting so thought I would offer one up. The Rules I want to keep it simple and replicate real punting as if you were there at the meeting in person. Each player is given £200 per day to spend on win and each way singles, all settled at SP and all each...

I think De Sousa has a great chance of a double from his next two rides at Nottingham. Bhakt Al Rawan 11-10 Mujazif 15-8

I put this horse up really strongly last week and didn't expect it to be beat, tomorrow is a wholly different race than a maiden at Lingfield Park but at the sort of price available a few pennies EW wouldn't be the worst bet of the week. Royal Ascot 5.35 Bolt Phantom 40-1 EW On another note...

I think I will have to let him win at 6-4 as I wouldn't be surprised if they give the horse a little tug and wait for later after he has been so flagged up, I also think 6-4 is not great against Ttainted Love and Salmon Man who will offer some competition. At a bigger price he would likely have...

Do you think they will let it run Stick? This is the third time it has been declared, bet heavily in the early exchanges and then pulled out. I fancied it for Squires race last week only for it to come out again. It's basically a live horse due to their shenanigans and I feel it needs a pull to...

Just passing on a horse given to me for tomorrow, about third hand down the line however. Doncaster 3.30 Fendale 20-1 EW I could not present a reason to back this horse as it is first time out, 20-1 and has seen no early money, and is actually pink on oddschecker. I was told however that the...

It was Stick, great ride. I made the point on a post a while back that we and many others give Frank a hard time not because he is a rubbish jockey but because he is a great jockey. Were he rubbish it would hardly warrant a mention as he would be unable to do much about it. He gets the hard...

Hamdan Al Maktoum has just had two winners from three runners in the last races at Sandown and York, his stable jockey was on the only one who didn't win as was given a poor ride. Paul Hanagan is a nice man, but he got the job on the back of one season when he won the jockeys title by sheer...

Seems anyone can get one nowadays - I cooked a really nice breakfast this morning I guess I better check to see whether I am due to be recognised for it in the honours list. To be fair however they only mean anything if you think they do - no inherent value in them.

They have Payet and Pogba but also Giroud who needs 5 chances to score 1, and at that level that may not be happening. I think they have as good a chance as about 4 or 5 teams but not an outstanding bet, and although not in great form we know Germany will likely win. Romania should have been...

Shalimah in the next at Chepstow is out to make this a night to remember for his connections.

Just noticed it's now raining at both Goodwood and Chepstow - jockeys out on the track any time now and racing abandoned no doubt. What the jump jockeys must think when they see the flat Jockeys group out inspecting the track after a shower!

York 3.30 Zamperini 12-1 EW Master Of Irony should be a tough nut to crack but this is the value in the race in my view.
