The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 15th-21st January 2024

Weekly Eye-Catchers 15th - 21st January 2024

 

15th January – 3:50 Lingfield 

 

Star Of Sussex

 

Nice enough return back on the flat, held up miles back in rear, put in the race very late and wasn’t knocked about. Will be looking to back over 10f on the AW NTO. Not one to go mad on though.

 

 

17th January – 7:30 Kempton

 

Handel

 

Bounce back to form here, drop back in trip looked to suit, made good ground from unpromising position, but couldn’t challenge the 1st and 2nd who had first run. Will look to back over 1m-1m1f, would be more interested if the cheekpieces were back on.

 

19th January – 3:25 Wolverhampton 

 

Catrake Force 

 

Market told the story here, didn’t look off a yard to me. Keen early but did settle slightly better further into the race, very well handicapped winner went past her very quickly and she wasn’t knocked about from then on. Keep onside 1m-1m1f, market may guide.

 

20th January – 2:00 Lingfield 

 

Plantadream

Terribly weak on the show, probably suggesting today wasn’t the day. Slow away, in rear, made okay headway but was never knocked about. Will find much easier races than this, maybe back at Kempton. Wednesday 14thFebruary 66-85 1m London Mile Series Qualifier may be the next port of call. Would be a big price if showing up.

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...
