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

Weekly Eye-Catchers 10th – 17th September 2023

 

13th September – 7:00 Kempton 

 

Salamanca City 

 

Big Eye-Catcher in my book, slow away, held up in rear, moved well for jockey, asked for effort very late (more than likely riding to instructions), moved past horses nicely under hand riding, running on very late for a 4th. Good run from her race position, clocking nice closing sectionals in the process. Nice horse in my opinion, really like her as a type and will look to follow her throughout her career. A maiden should be a formality NTO.

 

15th September – 2:05 

 

Staincliff

 

Very nice debut when sent off massive price in good enough maiden, travelled nicely on the bridle, had to wait for run, made effort but was very green when responding to jockey urgings. Pulled miles clear of the 3rd so I would say the front two are above average. Very nice sprint pedigree and should be hard to beat in maidens nto.

 

16th September – 3:15 Chester 

 

Nominal Event 

 

Nice debut here, travelled strongly out the back, going nicely when held onto for too long, ran on very strongly under tender handling into 3rd. Couldn’t win from that position but was more than promising debut, I’ll be looking to follow next time out providing the race isn’t too hot.

 

16th September – 4:45 Doncaster 

 

At Vimeiro 

 

Slow into stride, held up in rear, travelled well but took a while to wind up at the business end, ran on for 5th under tender handling. Nice introduction to for a well-bred type. Further he goes in trip the better. Will be hard to beat in 1m+ maidens/novices 

 

16th September – 5:25 Musselburgh 

 

Infinite Honour 

 

Well beaten in all 3 starts but has shown glimpses of ability. Obviously not wanting this one to get too close to eventual winners, so I was more than happy with the run here. Travelled well in mid div, nice enough headway but didn’t find off the bridle more than likely lacking fitness. I’ll be looking to follow this one into handicaps providing mark isn’t above 55.

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...
