Daily Dabble, 25th May 2013 I just can’t quite get this Daily Dabble right, as I seem to be finding placers (and the odd winner) with regularity, but rarely do we get two on the same day. That, unfortunately, happened again yesterday, as Tinseltown ran a really good race to finish 3rd at 15/2, despite [...]
Stat of the Day, 25th May 2013 See The Storm was 4th yesterday having been well backed from our 9/4 into 7/4 favouritism at the off. He seemed to have every chance well into the final furlong, but didn’t have the kick on that the three horses alongside him showed late in the contest. We’re [...]

Daily Dabble, 24th May 2013 Another damp squib yesterday, as firstly Chandlery never looked returning to his old form, nor did he ever look like getting involved in the shake up, finishing 9th of 10 and a good 20-plus lengths off the winner. Back to the drawing board for the connections of that one, I [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 24th May 2013 The booking of Richard Hughes to ride Levi Draper was pivotal (in my opinion anyway!) yesterday as he delivered a near perfect ride to take the race late on. The horse had run well enough and when switched out left for a final push, took up a great [...]
Continue reading …Daily Dabble, 23rd May 2013 In what now seems to be becoming a daily tale of frustration and woe, so yesterday followed suit. I really fancied the chances of Gilzean yesterday, but he was withdrawn less than 2 hours before his race leaving us with a straightforward 1pt E/W bet on Intomist at 13/2 BOG. [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 23rd May 2013 A bit of a stinker from At A Clip yesterday. She never got close to the action and was struggling from an early point in the race before being (sensibly, in my opinion) eased down to trot home last of ten runners. The race was already lost and [...]
Continue reading …Daily Dabble, 22nd May 2013 Once again it was another case of half a job done yesterday, as Kingscroft ran well to take 2nd place at 6/1. If he’d have won with a clearer run, we’ll never know, but he at least kept up his end of the bargain. Unfortunately all his hard work was [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 22nd May 2013 We hit the crossbar yesterday, as Zarosa was sent off as the 4/1 fav, but could only manage 2nd place in what was a close run affair after a two-mile trek around the Nottingham course. She finished a neck behind the winner whilst still staying on. The competitiveness [...]
Continue reading …Daily Dabble, 21st May 2013 Yet another 1/2 day yesterday, as Rylee Mooch did enough to take 3rd place, giving us a shot at the place double with Hellbender. Unfortunately things didn’t go to plan, he got outpaced in the midsection and despite making some late progress, could only manage 5th place, some 4.5 lengths [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 21st May 2013 Another good day yesterday as Sofia’s Number One defied the hike in the weights to comfortably win by a good couple of lengths whilst easing down! He’d been raised 4lbs for yesterday’s run, so we shall see where he goes next. His next mark may well be a [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day Update: 13/05/13 to 19/05/13 It was a hit or miss week last week for SotD, as the selections either won (which 3 did) or they failed to make even the places (as the other 4 did). Fortunately, the winners were priced at 4/1 twice and 7/2, ensuring that we more than [...]
Continue reading …Daily Dabble, 20th May 2013 Another one of those one from two days yesterday, as Valbucca turned in a great performance to land race two, staying on well to win by two lengths at 11/2 (we were on at 8/1 or bigger), but this was purely a victory for my pride rather than the daily [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 20th May 2013 A strange one yesterday,as (in the words of a fellow Geegeez subscriber) we went from hero to zero as we followed up back to back victories with a last place finish as the highly regarded Hoodna failed to fire. The way she suddenly folded and weakened was quite [...]
Continue reading …Daily Dabble, 19th May 2013 Another blank day yesterday in a day of frustration, I’m afraid. Icanmotor looked set for a place, but managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory late on when surrendering 3rd place on the run in, when there seemed to be little danger. There is a sense that she [...]
Continue reading …Stat of the Day, 19th May 2013 Back to back winners for SotD, as Ballinahow Star gained a fairly comfortable victory yesterday, despite giving plenty of weight away all round. Nick Scholfield came her a really good, patient ride and when she was asked to quicken before the peniltimate hurdle, she duly obliged easing into [...]
