The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 2nd - 8th October 2023

Weekly Eye-Catcher’s 2nd – 8th October 2023

 

3rd October – 2:12 Ayr

 

Firebird

 

An Eye-Catcher what will already be in everybody’s trackers. Really nice debut here, showed loads of ability under educational ride, doing best work late under hands and heels. Was the best horse in the race in my opinion, Should come on loads for that run and will be very hard to beat NTO in maidens.

 

3rd October – 3:22 Ayr

 

Abduction 

 

Stones of the week goes to Shane Gray. Terrible excuse of a ride, travelled strongly in rear, sat for far too long in behind horses, switched across the track, nearest finish without picking his whip up. Was the best horse on the day here but didn’t even hit the frame. Was looking at Musselburgh over 7f for him but it seems they have scrapped the race I was looking for. Nice races in the program for him at Haydock and Doncaster in back-end October-Early November. Does hold entry for Ayr next week.

 

3rd October – 3:57 Ayr

 

Water Of Leith 

 

Good enough run here to suggest his heads still in the game after some questionable runs mid-season. Out the back here, pushed along with no real conviction, not knocked about but ran on past beaten horses into moderate 6th place. Personally, I feel he is a better horse on the AW and could be teed up for a sequence at Newcastle. Id be very interested in backing him if he shows up at Newcastle in the 49-68 6f handicap on October 31st. Hes a C&D winner off a 10lb higher mark, too well handicapped to ignore now. Bigger bet if Mulrennan takes the ride. 

 

5th October – 1:52 Salisbury 

 

Promethean 

 

Liked this debut. Sent off huge price and showed plenty. Travelled well in rear, pulled out for a run and ran on well down the outside under tender handling. Educated in the process but managed to run on for 5th, what is the best he could have done from his position on a day where it paid to be prominent. Nice Middle-distance Pedigree and should come on for this outing. Will be a bet in maidens 8-10f but I’ll be looking to follow him as a 3yo.

 

5th October – 2:45 Lingfield 

 

Keady Town 

 

Liked this horse going into the race but the horse’s immaturity probably let him down here. Travelled strongly but when asked hung down the straight, proved hard to give a ride really and came home under tender handling. This is the 2nd run hes been a tough ride whilst showing a good level of ability in the process. A mark of 65ish would be perfect but my interest would be peaked if he was gelded before his handicap debut. Could bring out any level of improvement.


5th October – 2:50 Thurles

 

Positive Energy 

 

Promising enough debut, missed the break hopelessly, race was done from then on, showed ability to travel well but wide, come with a decent run, but that early move left him with little in the tank for the finish, weakened into 5th. Will get a big price in maidens, ill be on.

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...
