The Neighsayers - The Weekend Ahead

Swanny takes the stage here ahead of the weekends Racing, if they manage to get any one. We should really think about racing on an artificial surface so we can race all year round. Someone should propose that. Anyway, on to the selections.

Friday

14.25 - Coral racing club handicap 

A very competitive handicap this. I’d give a good word for the fav Frero Banbou who looked to be travelling all over them in the Sefton before the run eventually flattening out. The horse should come on massively from that run and he deserves to be at the top of the market. I was really keen on sail away for the Sefton and was surprised to see the horse not entered as stable tours gave the indication this was its target, maybe he had a setback or he made need the run . 

However, Karl Phillipe always runs his race after a break, and I think he has a great chance here on re-appearance. After a solid 7th in the Ultima, he saw the season out by finishing midfield in the Freebooter Handicap. Back at a more favourable trip and at a track sure to suit, I think he’s a cracking ew prospect today for the inform O’brein yard and he’s my pick today at the prices. 

Karl Phillipe  - 13/2 ew (coral, ladbrokes)

15.00 Coral Long Distance Hurdle (Grade 2)

Really keen on Marie’s Rock here. The mares hurdle winner was tried over the staying trip at Aintree, where an unbelievable performance again from Sire Du Berlais was all that stopped her taking that race. I think she’s classier than the field at the present time and she should take the beating. 

Marie’s Rock - 5/6 (Hills, 365)

Saturday -

14.50 - Coral Gold Cup

Cracking race. My selection here is remastered for the David pipe team. Last seen on reappearance finishing 7th in a hurdles race at Aintree, to no surprise where we saw hurdles omitted. He wasn’t fully wound up that day and with the race somewhat turning into a bumper, I think he was looked after that day. I think the prices on offer are great each way value, and I can see a big run from the horse back over fences. 

Selection - Remastered 18/1 ew (William hill)

Doncaster 

12.21 - Download the ATR App Novices Hurdle

No early prices available here but Personal Ambition looked a comfortable winner against a promising Henderson recruit in Jingko Blue at Warwick. Not much catches my eye in this field and I expect the horse to defy a penalty and make it 2/2 over hurdles. 

Selection - Personal Ambition

Let’s hope we get racing and good luck with your own selections.

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...
