Weekly Eye-Catchers 31st July – 6th August 2023 

 

31st July – 6:22 Lingfield

 

Roman Tempest 

 

Held up keen in rear, held together for far too long, sat on the bridle at the 2f pole and I think John Egan may have forgotten how to ride a finish, poorly stopped. Very ill-judged ride and wasn’t missed by the stewards. Keep an eye on the market.

 

31st July – 6:57 Lingfield 

 

Decisive Call 

 

3rd run for a mark, held up in rear never really going on the ground, ran on very a very distant 6th, look to follow into handicaps, maybe on better ground. has shown enough on the bridle to suggest he has enough ability to progress.

 

1st August – 5:20 Yarmouth 

 

Available Angel 

 

Nice bounce back to form here, travelled very well for a long way only to be edged out by a nicely handicaped type for the level. Won’t get any more than 2lb for that run putting him still in the 0-50 bracket. My guess is he will be very hard to beat in the 1m Classified stakes at Yarmouth on the 16th August. 

 

3rd August – 5:20 Goodwood 

 

Classical Song 

 

Nicely bred type, out of a dam who has been prolific in producing nice middle-distance types. Don’t know the depth of the form here but she ran a very nice race here. Slow to break, pushed along to be prominent, settled nicely enough behind leaders, slightly outpaced when pushed along, ran on nicely under educational ride. Will have learnt loads from that and will be hard to beat in your Fillies Maidens. Nice Type who will be worth following.

 

3rd August – 7:45 Newcastle 

 

Regal Solitaire 

 

Raw 2yo, who was unrideable on first 2 starts (Bucking), was starting to question why connection are preserving with her but she has shown much more on last 2 starts, still raw and green but defiantly has ability to work with. In the paddock, she is a nice physical type and still had a frame to fill. Broke well Showed lots of speed admits greenness (changing leads, racing inefficiently), push came to shove, and she got a very nice educational ride, only beaten 2l what is very promising. Will be interested to see what mark she gets for Nurseries, now she is slowly learning on the job, ironing out the quirks and becoming a racehorse. 5-6f off marks in the low 50s would make serious appeal, got plenty of dash.

 

3rd August – 8:45 Newcastle 

 

Struck Gold 

 

Travelled well in rear, no gaps when coming with run, put into race very late, good work late on, jockey restrained mount final furlong when leaders had gone. Could drop into classifieds with his rating, Is entered up for Chelmsford on Tuesday.

 

4th August – 5:20 Goodwood 

 

True Legend 

 

Unlucky here, looks to have further improved for the addition of cheekpieces, he was the best horse in this race here and would have won with a clear passage. No clear run many of times, switched and flew home for 2nd, winner got first run. Follow up next 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...
