The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 16th - 22nd October 2023

Weekly Eye-Catcher’s 16th – October 2023

 

16th October - 2:45 Windsor

 

Ghaidhaban 

 

Nice debut, educated on what was very soft ground. Showed a nice cruising speed and responded well to hand riding. Looked to have much more left in the tank when crossing the line and should be back next time out in Maidens/Novices. Good level of ability.

 

Brunel Nation 

 

Ran well in the circumstances, raced alone on the standside rail what was completely dead, no horse went near the rail after this race. Travelled well for a long way but couldn’t have gone with the horses on the better ground. Will get a mark now, wouldn’t mind him being gelded in the interim or a switch to the AW. I think he could improve massively once he learns to race. I’d be following as a 3yo also. 

 

18th October – 3:20 Navan 

 

Mehman

 

Nice run back after small break, held up in rear, switched across track, moved into the race nicely but was never knocked about, did late work under hands and heels, ran on for 3rd. Was a very similar run to his September 3rd 2022 run, where he then went on to win NTO at Dundalk. In my opinion, he is better on the AW and should be backed at Dundalk (maybe over 5f)

 

20th October – 6:15 Dundalk 

 

Alto Sax

 

Nice run on handicap debut, travelled well in rear, moved nicely into the race, came with a good run but was stopped halted all momentum, ran on late. Was a nice run that and should be followed in his next couple of runs.

 

21st October – 7:30 Wolverhampton 

 

Siempre Arturo 


Nice bit of ‘public schooling’ , restrained in rear, educated for majority of race, held up miles back, never in the race but showed enough ability on the bridle, never asked for effort until very late, did quicken past beaten horses. May have gone under the radar and will get a huge price NTO. Would recommend backing small NTO, if that doesn’t work wait for Handicaps. Kubler’s trained the half-sister to this, will know how to get the best out of this for sure.

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...
