The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 15th -21st May 2023

Weekly Eye-Catcher’s 15th – 21st May 2023

 

16th May - 4:50 Catterick 

 

Prince Achille

 

Well enough backed giving the makeup of this runner, 0 from 15 but showed abit at Catterick to suggest his first win is just round the corner. Traveling very well when no clear run, gaps came too late ran on under hand riding. Should be going close in low grade 12f handicaps. Runs on Monday 22nd

 

17th May – 2:05 Chepstow

 

Vidi Vici 

 

Missed break, green in rear, didn’t really know how to race properly early but got the hang of things late ran on under hands and heels, looks a good bet in maidens at your lesser tracks.

 

17th May – 2:25 Beverley 

 

Sherrifs Call 

 

Swerved start badly right, recovered into rear of mid div, travelling well when jockey seemed to lose irons when challenging, then wasn’t knocked about at all. Will be a nice price in maidens NTO, back over 5 or 6f.

 

17th May – 3:00 Beverley 

 

Heart Of Sofia 

 

Missed start, outpaced for 4f always off the bridle, ran on very strongly final furlong to get 4th. Was money around for it at decent prices so must be able to pick up small races at your northern tracks over 6f.

 

17th May – 5:40 Sandown 

 

Say Hello 

 

Serious eyecatcher this, had to weave in and out of horses late when coming with a rattle, don’t think the jockey got properly stuck into him on debut but did very decent backend sectionals under hands and heels. Back next time in maiden, has serious ability.

 

18th May – 2:25 York 

 

Soldiers Minute 

 

Switched from far side draw to the standside, no luck in running pushed out under hands and heels, will go close in 6f handicaps granted better luck in running.

 

18th May – 8:10 Bath 

 

Raincloud

 

Ran well on handicap debut but could have won granted a clearer run, travelled strongly but shuffled back at crucial time of race, came with late run but winner had flown. Look to back in 10f+ handicaps.

 

19th May - 8:40 Newmarket 

 

Mine That Ship 

 

Very well backed overnight, desperately weak throughout the day, probably suggest the plug was pulled, the ride he got backed that up. Restrained, held up in rear, going well but never knocked about. Pushed along but with minimal assistance, ran on through beaten horses. Follow NTO, strong money late would be significant.

 

20th May – 4:40 Leopardstown 

 

Spanish Flame 

 

Biggest Eye-Catcher of the week.Snatched back start, in rear, travelled well, held together for too long round bend, asked to go and showed a nice turn of foot up the rails. Switched right for clear run, fast finishing 4th under hands and heels. Serious run and will be nailed on for a maiden/novice NTO. Group performer in time.

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...
