The Neighsayers - Floodlit Friday Week 11

 Well, round two of writing this out having lost the blog as it didn't save. So here goes... Slim pickings in regards to races available to us with only Wolves on in the UK and Dundalk in Ireland, but that wasn't much of a proposition on Friday.


Wolverhampton - 17:00 - 7F Handicap


Thought PESSOA won generously enough last time irrespective of the winning margin and only a 2lb rise should see him go in again. Had a lovely race set up that day coming off a good pace and tomorrow's set up should suit further.


As many as 6 runners who may want to lead in this race, with The Toff, Bishop's Glory, Ishani, Dors Toyboy and Ravenglass raced from the front before and Pride of Spain has been keen in the past, that doesn't look like it'll change here with the jockey booking.


Finley Marsh has been on board for both wins in professional rider races, so he'll know the horse well and should be able to deliver it in front again.

Selection - Pessoa (100/30 bet365, 11/4 General)


Wolverhampton - 20:00 - 1M 1F Handicap


RING OF GOLD looks ready to strike and this seems a decent opportunity to do so. Cephalus in the race is obviously high on the shortlist of dangers, but I think he could take a large proportion of the market up and hopefully some value against.


The horse is 0-10 on the turf but 3-16 on the AW, including 7 more placed efforts including several decent runs off marks in the 70's early in 2023 before transferring to turf for the summer where he didn't disgrace himself but he holds much higher chances back here.


Had a pipe opener after a short break at Chelmsford last month under a claimer and as you'll have heard us say plenty it's just too hard to come from off the pace there, where as Wolves it's a much more viable route to winning. There's a few keen goers in here and a couple who wanna lead, so hopefully a mid division position should lead to us going fairly close.


The booking of Joanna Mason back can't be anything but a positive, winning twice on him already.

Selection - Ring of Gold (5/1 Betfair, Paddy, 4/1 Sky Bet, 7/2 Bet365)

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...
