The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 7th-13th August 2023

7th August – 5:05 Ripon 

Vallamorey 

 

Ran slightly disappointing here but had excuses. Trip looked on the sharp side in my opinion, never really handled the track either was always niggled along, push came to shove, and jockey hasn’t really asked for maximum effort. Looked after for another day. Would like to see him back up in trip to 12f on soft ground, away from very undulating tracks.

 

8th August – 3:25 Catterick 

 

Andromedas Kingdom 

 

Ran outstanding race in the circumstances. Missed break very badly, swerving right leaving all chances of winning at the start, was pushed along very early to get into the race but still had a mountain to climb in order to win. Made good ground into the straight but got no run on the rail, hands, and heels into 4th. Her antics in the stalls is ruining her chances and I will recommend playing her in running if she breaks on terms. Handicapped to win in low grades.

 

8th August – 8:10 Ripon 

 

High Opinion 

 

Unlucky loser here, travelled with zest, last of bridle, no run in-between horses at vital stage, jockey gone for gap what wasn’t there, squeezed out badly and was looked after. Arguably would have won with clear run. On last winning mark now and should be kept onside over 5f.

 

9th August – 8:00 Kempton 

 

Let Life Happen 

 

Desperately slow away, held up in rear miles off the pace. Passed horses very easily from the back, ran on very well for 2nd. Couldn’t win from that track position and should be going close next time out. Gets handicap mark on Tuesday, will be interested to see what she gets

 

10th August – 3:00 Brighton 

 

Unleash Hell 

 

Looked to improve for the gelding op here. Travelled strong enough from rear, made nice enough headway without getting too close to the winners. Gets a mark next Tuesday, anything 55 or lower would make me interested in backing when he goes into nurseries.

 

11th August – 4:49 Newmarket 

 

Fools Gold 

 

Plenty in this race showed loads but this is the one I feel would be best for a betting proposition NTO, as he didn’t hit the frame, hopefully leading to a bigger price NTO. Half brother to The Platinum Queen G1 5F winner, and he showed plenty of speed here, racing keenly on the front end. Was still kicking about in the final furlong what is testament after racing very inefficiently, in what I feel will be a strong novice. Ill look to keep this one onside nto, with a bigger bet if dropping back to 5f. Got ability.

 

11th August – 6:35 Newmarket 

 

Jayyash 

 

Again a few eyecatchers here but this is by far the one id want to own out of them all. Nicely bred type who I feel would appreciate some cut under foot. Ground was quick enough for this one today but still ran with plenty of credit, ridden with a view to the future held up in rear, pushed along and educated on the job, ran on nicely under tender riding. Will have learnt loads from that and is bound to step forward coming from the Gosdens. Will look to follow this one through the season.

 

12th August – 2:15 Curragh 

 

Red Viburnum 

 

Nice debut here, travelled nicely in jockey’s hands, no clear passage, switched outside ran on very strongly but was given slightly too much to do. Loved her head carriage and attitude, looks a real trier and should be progressing with that race under her belt. She is small in size so progress as a 3yo may be limited, but she will defiantly be of interest for the rest of her 2yo season. Will probably run in the Moyglare with her owners sponsoring the race, could outrun huge odds if so. Keep onside this season.

 

13th August – 2:50 Curragh 

 

Eloxi 

 

Final run for a mark, out the back, held onto for long enough, modest headway but never really asked to go and progress through the race. 1m2f looked okay and I think he will get further in time. Follow into handicaps

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...
