The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 10th-17th July 2023

Weekly Eye-Catcher’s 10th – 16th July 2023

 

11th July – 2:10 Pontefract 

 

Mistress Tiete 

 

Jockey clearly didn’t walk the course beforehand, travelling very well, made effort very wide in centre of track, ground was pure dead in the centre, and it just didn’t get home on tough ground. Back anywhere in 6f Nursery’s

 

12th July – 4:55 Yarmouth 

 

Watermelon Sugar 

 

Guessing the right people didn’t get the massive overnight/morning prices here, travelling in rear, horses Infront to the right have come under pressure early 3f out, so what does the jockey decide to do? Lead the horse behind the struggling horses instead of coming left where he had clear daylight to make a challenge, ran on late under hands and heels, not off. Looks handicapped to win on the turf or AW with his split mark making it easier on the turf, just a matter of when connections want him to go in. back in 5-6f handicaps.

 

13th July – 3:10 Doncaster 

 

Point Given 

 

Weak in the market on debut, expected to come on from this coming from Stoute’s yard. Looked green and outpaced early, picked up the bit and made challenge through horses, ran on well when looking green when shaken up, nearest finish. Will have learnt a tonne from that and will be hard to beat in 6-7f maidens.

 

13th July – 3:45 Doncaster 

 

Shimmering Moon 

 

Spotted by Swanny in the parade ring, nicely put together sprinter with size, scope and a powerful hind end. Ran well from off the pace, had to wait for gap on far side whilst the winner made all and had a better track position in a slowly ran race. Ran on very strongly and will be a solid bet in maidens next time out. A type we would like to follow throughout the season.

 

15th July – 2:55 Ascot 

 

Jean Ribault 

 

Nicely bred type, stamina on the dam side, was interesting to see him starting over 7f. Travelled well enough but they went slow, looked to be tapped for tow once asked for a challenge, but did show enough on the bridle to suggest he has a decent level of ability. I’d be interested in backing him over 1m2+, may be a 3yo type. Yards runners normally come on for a run.

 

15th July – 6:30 Hamilton 

 

Quanah

 

Showed he retained ability here, blazed loads of speed from an unfavourable draw, dropped away late but shown enough here to follow him up next time on soft ground. 5f-6f at Hamilton is perfect for him, would like him without the headgear. Keep onside.

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...
