Sassy Glory - 6.07 Newcastle


A C/D winner who is running off a 1lb lower weight than her previous victory. Coming off a good second-place finish last week, and paired with the jockey who knows her best.

Currently 9.2 Betfair.

Sassy Glory, clung on for the win.

 

[Chesham]

Well done B billybob and good odds too

 

[trecelyn]

Schrodinger's Cat - 2.25 York


Will it show up?

I'm hoping so. I thought it was an improved effort last time at Redcar, making all and easing down towards the end.

Currently 10/1 4 places B365

I'm on Fortification but who knows what Schrodinger's Cat has hidden in its box

 

[Chesham]

well done with the Place B billybob , I thought you were going to get the win , watching the race , just pipped. Well backed in too

 

[billybob]

Thanks Chesham.

It ran a good race, I thought it was going to hang on but the prize just vanished in front of my eyes.

Gardener - 5.40 Utt.

Has had a highly productive first season since switching to Mike Sowersby's yard and Charlie Maggs gets on with him well.

He is an established distance performer who handles a 2½-mile trip and dropping back to a class 4, I expect him to go well.

Currently 9/1 B365, 3 places.

 

[billybob]

Yet another 2nd!

 

[Chesham]

Well done B billybob with a decent place landed. A profit is a profit. mtoto who sadly is no longer alive, operated in the longer priced selections. He broke his stake into 20% on the win and 80% on the Place. He said that quite often the 80% that placed often paid more than the Favourite winning

 

[billybob]

Thanks Chesham and good information.

 

[trecelyn]

From a self confessed lurker to someone now approaching 100 replies to your first thread, keep it up mate, every contribution keeps the forum alive and active and improves your knowledge of the game

 

[gerry]

Agree well done in your thread.

 

[billybob]

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement trecelyn and Gerry.

Best Night - 4.40 Stratford


Best Night has shown a clear preference for quick, summer jumping ground,

Off 99, which is the same handicap mark she ran off when winning at Huntingdon.

No disgrace trying to give 11lbs to Beorma, who has since gone on to win 4.

Rian Corcoran is good value for his 5lb claim.

Currently 9/2 B365 4 places.

 

[billybob]

Despite being well backed into fav, it could only manage 3rd place.

Turpin Gold - 2.20 W

He made his first start over fences at Stratford in late May after a six-month break. He ran an encouraging third of five, but I thought the jockey gave it quite a bit to do, before it stayed on well, despite being slightly hampered late.

Lacey has a decent record of improving horses once they switch from hurdles to chasing.

Currently 6/1 B365.

 

[billybob]

Travelled well, found very little.
