Afternoon folks
A nice profit on the weekend, good wins for Fugitif and Geromino and I was cursing where Sheehan had Fugitif as he gave him a ridiculous amount to do but the horse got him out of it. We are getting a lot of hold up horses, do jocks not watch the racing??
Anyway, most of the selections ran well, apart from the girls who ran two, too bad to be true races but that’s fillies. Very inconsistent as they both had the form to go very well.
The two chasers, Castle Robin and Rapper both just missed the places but the latter looks primed now for New years day after a good run. I thought he may pinch a place @ 50/1 but the price suggested, as I stated, this was probably a set up job. He should go very close next time if heading for that race and we will be on him.
The weekend sees two days of Ascot then Haydock on Saturday with some decent AW racing thrown in.
The Friday Ascot card is too far out to say how the field sizes will hold up but I will have a good look and update you if any selections or not can be found by mid to late afternoon on Thursday.
