The Neighsayers - Antepost Angle

Antepost Angle 

Yorkshire Oaks 1m4f G1

After Soul Sister being beaten in tonight’s Grand Prix de Paris i believe I have found the best antepost price currently available for the rest of the flat season.

The bet is EMILY UPJOHN to win the Yorkshire Oaks. This has to be the logical target now given that she now looks to be confirmed as the number one middle distance filly at Clarehaven. Although she ran a belter in defeat to Paddington I think they’ll being going straight back up in trip to a race Gosden won twice in recent years with the best filly of all time (Enable).

My main concern was Soul Sister going for the race but I’m not sure the 12f is her optimum trip despite being an Oaks winner. But now I see Emily coming here most definitely, as she goes on any ground so there’s no worries on that front. There is a chance she could run in the King George in 2 weeks but I wouldn’t be fussed either way if she ran or not to affect her chances on the Knavesmire. I see her going off odds on here so the 3/1 available is a couple of places is a serious bet.

Selection - Emily Upjohn

3/1 William hill, Bet 365

Juddmonte International 1m2f G1

The next selection is far less certain to turn up at York next month but at the prices I can’t let him go unbacked, King of Steel currently a general 8/1 shot for the Juddmonte International in what doesn’t currently look a vintage renewal.

I thought in both his starts this season he’s shown a real turn of foot and 10f will be right up his street (How far would he have won the Dante by the way). As far as I’m aware the King George will be the plan but there is sufficient time between races for him to take in both and I imagine they will want a g1 over 10f on his CV for his stallion career.

The main appeal in his price is the lack of confirmed opposition here. Mostadaf being the 3/1 fav is terrible in my opinion I could not have him at all and wouldn’t read into that Royal Ascot win (apologies Quinny).The ones I worry about here are Paddington and Desert Crown but neither are certain to turn up and even if both ran King of Steel would never be an 8/1 poke. Smaller Bet for me at this price due to the uncertainty of him turning up.

Selection - King of Steel

8/1 General

Stay lucky gents.

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...
