The Neighsayers - AW Finals day

Tough card up at Newcastle but hopefully 2 horses who hold great chances and get us out alive. Good luck if you’re following and with your own bets.

15:00 Newcastle - Aramis Grey


Taking on a ~13/8 favourite is asking to get stung sometimes, but I really rate this loveable grey’s chances. Has recently had plenty of form with the 2nd in the market, shades of summer, beaten by her the last twice, but meets on much better terms today. First time shades of summer beat Aramis Grey, the selection had to give away 16lb and second time, 11lb. Today it’s just 7 and doesn’t have too much distance to find to overturn that.


Now the favourite, nine tenths a listed winner last time out, could well be a penalty kick but the young jockey in for the world class Ryan Moore I wouldn’t particularly see as a positive. He has won on the filly before but that was in a much lower grade of race and off a 10lb lower mark.


The pace of the race is a slight concern as I can’t see no obvious pace, so I’d like to see us not too far away in case it does turn into a sprint. Smiling Sunflower attempted to make all in this last year and would be ideal if she could do the same again. Aramis Grey was 2nd in this last year but it was much more competitive and hopefully she can come home first today.


Selection - Aramis Grey (15/2 365, BF, Paddy)


16:10 Newcastle - Elegant man


Progressive sort who’s only defeat so far came to the BC turf winner Rebels Romance, easily dispatched Tyson fury last time out at Dundalk who’s a solid yardstick round there (Won easily off 99 next time out), think he can overcome the mark of 108 here, he stays further so the stiff track here will suit. 


Money has came for him since Dec’s but still think 4/1 is more than fair.


Selection - Elegant Man (9/2 Coral/Lads, 4/1 General)

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...
