The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 12th-18th Feb 2024

Weekly Eye-Catchers 12th – 18th Feb 2024

 

13th Feb – 7:00 Newcastle 

 

Tees Douge 

 

Nice run on return. Always had him down as an AW horse and he ran a very good race here. Maybe if getting a clear run earlier he could have gone closer but didn’t get the gaps when needed. Keep onside over 5-6f on the AW.

 

16th Feb – 4:57 Dundalk 

 

Highland Mist 

 

Showed little bit more here than he has on first 2 starts. Wasn’t really knocked about and stewards had a word after the race. Jocks said he didn’t really handle the track, may be a poor excuse but ill take his word and start following this into handicaps on the turf.

 

17th Feb – 8:15 Wolverhampton 

 

Powdering 

 

Nice bounce back to form of a reduced mark. Had to go down the inside what didn’t look the place to be at all. I will be keeping onside at Southwell and Wolverhampton over 7f.

 

18th Feb – 7:00 Kempton 

 

Betties Bay 

 

Really nice return here. Held up out the back after being friendless in the market, asked for effort in the straight and picked up nicely, ran on very well late. 1st and 2nd were always handy enough and ours was the only horse to make up ground proper ground from the rear. Follow over 6f, fast ground or AW . She will be spot on next time out providing it doesn’t come too soon.

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...
