First time i've started a thread so hope i've done it right! I'm going to Donny races tomorrow and would appreciate any tips/selections from forum members. I've noticed there are a few short price favourites running, these don't really interest me i don't usually back under 3/1 unless its in an accumulator so any at bigger prices would be much appreciated
12.30 Newbury - Chocola. Alan King writes on his website: "I have made no secret that if we have a real Triumph Hurdle contender in the yard then Chocala is the one, and we are looking forward to getting him going in the juvenile hurdle there tomorrow. We have had Chocala since he was a two-year-old, and he won twice for us on the Flat at Nottingham and Chester, but he has looked a natural over hurdles from day one and he could be quite exciting. He enjoys cut in the ground, too, and the track will suit him." You can't get more positive than that 3.45 Newbury - Wilde Blue Yonder. Nice little Alan King "Barney Rubble". Here's what the master of Barbury Castle says: "Finally, Wilde Blue Yonder goes for the maiden hurdle. He is a horse we have always liked, and he won his bumper well at Uttoxeter. We have been very pleased with his schooling at home, and we are looking forward to getting him started, too." Also like Carole's Spirit in the mare's race
Upsilon bleu timmy murphy riding for the inlaws this far south. Good to see a kelso raider at newbury
badger, have a great day at the races mate. Two that I think have a chance at decent prices are Paul Webbers MARLEY ROCA in the handicap chase at 1;55, he hosed up at Stratford two years ago and paid for it with a hike in the weights. He was going to go very close last time out until a mistake at the last stopped him in his tracks. The other one is a mare off a featherweight in the 3;05 called DOYENTHEDECENTHING. She was still tanking along when unseating her pilot two out last time. She would have been involved in the finish and can surely go close tomorrow barring mishaps! Best of luck
Tomorrow looks quite tough. The Romford Pele ran Taquin De Seuil to 4l although that race was run so slow but he was well supported that day and with Wonderful charm having a penalty im giving him a shot. Fascino Rustico makes his hurdle debut after a disappointing finish in the champion bumper although he did go off at 33/1 for it. 7/2 Threshold and ill take anything around that come tomorrow. Tipped Niceonefrankie LTO when he bolted up, very consistent horse and should be there or thereabouts again under his penalty.
13.30 Newbury- Twelve Roses- 6/1 A useful bumper winner whos had a good start to life over hurdles- his second at wetherby was franked when the 3rd that day Cloudy Bob won at Market Rasen last week and More Of That won very easily in the weekend when only a length in front of my selection. If in the same form come 13.30 tomorrow he should be very hard to beat
14.40 Newbury- Theatrical Star- 9/1 A very competitve race with a case being made for pretty much all the field. Has been very progressive this year landing 3 chases over this distance. Then was put back over 2m and altho didnt win any, wasnt disgraced. Is running off his last winning mark and a step up in distance he will be there, there abouts
all 4 of Rev's have a great chance today EW Lucky and EW Acca Kings Grey 11/4 Corkage 8s Waltz Darling 5s Whichwaytobouggie (half bro to BPG) 7s stay frosty
Morning all. Really like Easter Meteor and thought it was a tad unlucky in the Paddy Power so am on today in the 2-40 at newbury at a very handsome 11/2. Good luck everyone.
Nothing for me today. Ger Lyons has his string in fine fettle at the moment so it may be worth looking at his horses at Dundalk tonight.
