Hi Dave Dave

Posted Pre Race, but explains putting various methods together , ie well in , Run style pf Track , race type and distance and a jockey booked who can exploit tht run style

Hi K kralken

I’m not a HOD member but happy to share As the Inner Sanctum area, as you state is free of Lurkers.

I apply various methods but a favourite of mine is a Horse who is well in and has the pace style, course @ Distance [ace style and Jockey who can apply the horses riding style .

Sorry this it’s a bit late in the day but I’ve been busy and not had the time. Well yesterday was a prime example of the forum curse.

I hoping to rectify that today. I’m looking at the bargain basement trying to find a double figure horse. The race I’ve focused on is 19:30 at WOLVERHAMPTON,

I’ve got two that I’m interested in and I’ve spent awhile trying to get it to a single selection but I know if I do that the selection I drop will no doubt get placed and maybe win.

The two that I’m interested in are Lhebayeb and Dash Power.


Lhebayeb
is an 8 year old mare. She is a course & distance winner. It’s debatable if she’s well handicapped but she’s near to the mark. Highest winning mark of 50 in this type of race and is 51 today. Last won 219 days ago and had 10 races since. Last ran 16 days ago at Wolverhampton in a Class 6 over 9 furlongs, finishing a good 5th beaten by 1.90 lengths. She’s running in the same class and over the same distance.

Dash Power Is the one that I was going to leave out. However, I have a niggling feeling that they ran him LTO with the aim of reducing his Handicap mark but his mark didn’t get dropped. There appears to be a pattern of running him at Southwell where he simply doesn’t perform. he’s much better at Wolverhampton.

He’s a 5 years old gelding and a course & distance winner. I think he’s on a mark where he could run well.

I’ve had small E/W BOG on both at 12/1.
I feel it’s wide open. If Dash Power puts his best performance in he could win this. His last run over C&D was 6/12/2025 and he ran a good race finished 2nd RaceIQ metrics indicated the race was run slightly faster than the expected par. He’s got a bit of ground to make up with R P Mcmurphy who re opposes today and is favourite.

I tried to look at the RaceIQ details for the 27/12/25 for Lhebayeb on racingTV but the figures are totally wrong.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Well another toilet job.

Dash Power was just there to get his mark down never put in the race. I will be watching that one as it’s clear to me what they are doing and it’s only a matter of time. He will be back at Wolverhampton when the time is right. I think they might even run him again at Southwell

Good morning, I have had a bet in the Chelmsford 19:00 Siobhanbrogan EW @ 10/1

This is another horse that I feel is incorrectly priced. Lazzar looks a decent favourite and the most likely winner but the price is short.

I feel Siobhanbrogan has more to offer based on her 2nd at Wolverhampton on 01/02/2025. The mare cost £120,000 which indicates she’s well bred. She’s also a distance winner and could be well handicapped. I suspect she’s had issues based on her absence.
 
Good luck with Siobhanbrogan, Dave Dave. She certainly looks a reasonable ew bet to me as she has, in the race to which you refer, on my performance ratings by far the best of any in the field since 01/01/25. The Post's comments about her last two runs are more negative than my own interpretation; first time back after 291 days off, what does one expect, and on the last run twelve days later the inference I'd draw is that she was still short of race fitness.

If she is fitter today, and the 45 days since her last run raises a question mark about that for me when taking alongside the ownership and lack of movement in the market, my only other, slight, concern is that she may be better on a bendy course like Wolverhampton, but the evidence is insufficient to be even close to being sure.

The opposition does not look strong. I'd agree your comment re Lazzar - decent, certainly, but not nailed on. The only other one who looks as though logically he could finish ahead of Siobhanbrogan is Invincible Melody who, with the claim, gets a stone from both her and Lazzar.
 
Not financially involved but an EW chance would be Massimo Blue. The booking of Jack Mitchell catches the eye as he gave the horse a good ride at Wolverhampton, finished 2nd and gave 9 Lb to the winner who has won 2 since

TF Report

pair of the more interesting horses came to the fore in this run-of-the-mill sprint, both seeming likely to continue to pay their way if kept going during the winter.

SAM'S HOPE well backed, had a better trip from a lower draw this time and quickly resumed winning ways for a small stable that's in good form; in touch, took strong hold, headway over 1f out, led final 1f, kept on; she ought to go well again.

MASSIMO BLUE turned out again quickly under a penalty, ran at least as well in defeat as when winning at Southwell 2 days previously, slightly inconvenienced as he began his run but not enough to make a difference to the result; mid-field, effort when carried right over 1f out, kept on final 1f; should continue to give a good account.



MB had two entries to choose from this week .

Hi Dave Dave

Hope that you collect. The one concern is the Stats for females, although poor stats for winners, 11 have placed 25%. and 2 females in tonight’s race

View attachment 163456
I agree those stats for winners certainly don’t look encouraging. The placed stats certainly look more encouraging. The AW statistics certainly favour the males over females in mixed events.

I think Middlehampark would have dumped her out if they didn’t think she could win something. She in the hands of a very good trainer who would bring her along slowly I’d she’s been injured or out of sorts.

Hopefully, it’s today that she performs.
 
Tentative conclusion - the 45 day absence suggests another, slight health or injury issue and today she was not close to full fitness. Time will tell if that is likely the right conclusion and whether she can progress from her performance on 01/02/25, as would be normal with a horse her age. Apart from her, the race went as form suggested it would.
 
T tacker I’m pleased that you’ve posted these two selections as I’m interested in both of the races.

I find All-Weather sprint races most interesting because they’re about as honest as racing gets. There’s less noise, fewer excuses, and more you can actually get your teeth into if you’re willing to look a bit closer to try and solve what often looks like an impossible puzzle.

In sprint races, especially over five or six furlongs, there’s often no time to recover from a poor break of a position mistakes. If a horse misses the break or ends up in the wrong position early, it’s usually game over.

What I find is in AW sprints horses generally tend to run the same way every time. Front-runners keep trying to lead, hold-up horses are ridden cold ready to pounce on any pace collapse. I try to visualise the race.

On turning tracks like Lingfield, Wolves, Chelmsford and Kempton, I generally look to see which horses will break fast and have a favourable draw and should be able to get a good position and be leading by the end of the 1st furlong as often this shapes the race.

If I can get a good idea of how the race is going to be run before they jump, I already feel like I’m ahead of the game. I draw out my draw and pace map and identify proven fast breakers and those that generally like to lead by the end of the first furlong. It helps to show potential congestion into the first bend and which horses will benefit should there be a pace collapse.

The Lingfield13:05 is a class 4 race over 6F with 8 runners.

The draw advantage is most favourable with the drawn low fast breakers that like to lead.

Low Deaw
1. Hierarchy ( hold up)
2. Charlie Mason ( prominent)
3. Silkie Wilkie (lead)
Mid Draw
4. Elouise Prince (lead)
5. Tiger Console (hold up)
6. No Return (lead)
Outer Draw
7. Accrual. (Lead)
8. Cayman Tai (hold up)

Looking at the draw/pace map, I think Hierarchy could get trapped in the rail slot.

Charlie Mason doesn’t tend to break as fast as Silkie Wilkie, Elouise Prince, No Return or Accrual and could also be impacted as both No return and Accrual trying to come across from the wider draws.

I think Silkie Wilkie will most likely break fastest and get that lead position. ( apprentice riding which isn’t ideal but trainer must think he’s up to it and the weight advantage is worth the risk).

There is quite a bit of early pace on here which I think will help Tiger Crusade as the danger hold up horse.

Speed figures from previous Lingfield races suggest Silkie Wilkie and Tiger Crusade can win this. Accrual has some good figures but from Wolverhampton.

I think Silkie Wilkie (5/1) and Tiger Crusade (9/1) both have a decent chance of winning this at good odds. They have both ran well in higher grade races on the AW in the past. My concern with Silkie is no recent run and if age is blunting her speed. Tiger needs a clear run and a fast pace to aim at.

The market has gone for the inform horse Accrual and Charlie Mason.

I will stick with Silkie Wilkie and Tiger Crusade with Accrual as the main danger.

Well that is my take on the puzzle.
Looks like I went a week or two too early as, both Silkie Wilkie and Tiger Crusade have won this week 3/1 and 12/1. I’d be a liar if I said I had both. The only bet I had today was Far too Fizzy who I backed at 2/1 last minute.

Between looking after the grandkids and the elderly parents I just didn’t get the study time for all the races. I thought Far Too Fizzy was drawn perfect for the early speed and Rossa Ryan on board made me quite confident. Sorry I didn’t post but time passed by far too quickly.

I’m sick to the gills over Tiger Crusade as she had plenty of speed to aim at.

Cheers Dave
 
Well that’s made my day, I’ve just sold the first copy of my book UK All-Weather Sprint Racing: A Practical Guide to picking winners. It went live on Amazon yesterday and I wasn’t expecting a sale so quickly.

It’s been a bucket list task of mine that I’ve worked on for a number of years. It’s been very stop start for a number of years. However, I finally got the inspiration to finish it after integrating the free RaceIQ sectionals and metrics found on the Racing TV website or App into my analysis and selection processes.
