Weekly Eye-Catchers 17th – 23rd April 2023

17th April – 1:15 Redcar 

 

Mistress Teite 

 

Ran very well on debut for a yard who’s 2yo's don't really fire till handicaps. Held up, pushed into the race late and ran on very well to take 3rd. A great education for a 2yo, who should have the ability to win NTO.

 

17th April – 1:50 Redcar

 

Mutanaaseq

 

Well backed on the day and I can understand why, travelled very well into the race, impeded on the rail jockey had to stop riding for multiple strides, ran on under tender handling. Stones below last winning mark so should be winning races this flat season over 7f.

 

17th April – 4:10 Redcar

 

Cantora 

 

One of the more obvious eyecatchers for the week. Travelled strongly, got no luck in running had to weave in and out of beaten horses, got the gaps late but couldn’t run down the front runner. Granted better luck in running should be going in next time on the turf.

 

18th April – 1:40 Tipperary 

 

Battle Of Ridgeway 

 

Rare jumps eyecatcher from me, ran very well in toungestrap when looking for a mark. Made eye-catching progress from an unpromising position, then wasn’t knocked about. Will look to back on handicap debut.

 

19th April – 1:40 Beverley 

 

Classy Clarets 

 

More of an eyecatcher in the paddock. A fine stamp of a horse who looked like he has not filled out his frame yet , will benefit with time and more racing. Will be interested to see how he progresses through the year.

 

19th April – 1:50 Newmarket 

 

Burdett Road

 

Ran very well against a huge pace bias, only beaten 6l what was very impressive to say how close he was to a frantic pace. Should be progressive the further he goes in trip 1m2 maybe. 

 

20th April – Ripon 2:15

 

Desert Master 

 

Messy 2yo race, ran well enough this one to suggest he will win a maiden NTO. Very slow away and green early doors, looked badly in need of the experience and didn’t really handle the ridges and undulations at Ripon. Back nto in a maiden, has plenty of ability.

 

20th April – Ripon 4:30 

 

Mythical 

 

Looked like a slight bounce back to form after a wind op. Ran with credit, slightly outpaced but ran on well under tender handling. Would like to see him up to stiff 10f or 12f. looks nicely handicapped.

 

20th April – Newmarket 5:45

 

Majestic Warrior 

 

Unruly in the paddock. Raced lazily, pushed along 3f out, made rapid headway what looked to even surprise the jockey, plugged on but chinned for 3rd on the line. Should come on loads for that. Be interested in backing him next time.

 

20th April – Chelmsford 5:30 

 

Film Star 

 

Complete float up for a mark, travelled strongly with leaders, pushed along not preserved with, only saw the whip once. Stinks of a handicap debut plot. Will be interested to see what mark she gets. Back over 7f on handicap debut (Mark in low 60s)

 

21st April – Cork 4:50 

 

Whisky On The Hill

 

Rather unfancied in the market (SP 33/1) , Ran a very good race held up in rear, made nice headway, put in the race far too late, fast finishing 3rd and should have won, probs best to follow the money being from that yard but I will be keen to have him onside NTO.

 

22nd April – Newbury 3:50 

 

Ascari 

 

Weak in the betting late, swerved badly left after start, did well to recover, travelled nicely into the race catching the eye in the process. Did nice late work once switched to the Stand side, very promising. Should be more streetwise with more racing, will look to back next time out in a maiden.

 

22nd April – Limerick 4:25 

 

Laughifyouwant 

 

Dropped to a nice handicap mark and has been meaning to bounce back to form for a while. Held up last off a sedate pace, ran on very well from the back never nearer. Big run against a pace bias, ready to strike when conditions are right.

 

22nd April – Limerick 3:55 

 

Old Peculier 

 

Biggest Eyecatcher of the week by a long way. 3rd run in a novice/maiden, clearly being prepped with handicaps in mind. Travelled very well but was stopped multiple times by a 10lb claimer. Ran on very well under minimal assistance from the jockey. His previous runs were as eye-catching as his 3rd run; this looks a complete handicap blot. ALL IN ON HANDICAP DEBUT.

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
