The Neighsayers - Sunday Series Week 1

The Sunday series returns and always brings competitive racing, decent field sizes and good punting opportunities. We’ll be having a 1pt investment in as many races we feel warrant one over the 6 weekend series much like we did in the racing league, which was a success. It’ll be 1pt win or 0.5pt E/W. Prices will have to be with at least 2 firms to be used also.


15:45 - 5F handicap - (Swanny)


I was really taken by the run of Sun Of Sampers in the slop at Donny the last day. He was backed off the boards late and clearly ran into one that day in the well handicapped Thornaby Pearl, who never looked like losing. Runs off the same mark today and is drawn well to take this. 9/1 is a nice EW price to get the Sunday series off to a flyer. 


Selection - Son of Sampers EW (8/1 Bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes, Boyles & Unibet 4 places)


16:45 - 1M handicap - (Lewis)


I think the Jim Goldie trained ALPINE SIERRA worth taking a chance on. He won on his reappearance last year off a 2lb lower mark but he held his form okay in this grade and slightly higher. The only time he didn’t really do that was in the racing league against much superior opposition and on his final start of the year on the AW, so excuses can be made.


He’ll be out in front and is drawn okay to get that position and with Mulrennan booked to ride, that would indicate to me he’s the yard’s best chance in here, with Jim running 4. Few others may be prominent with him, Bell Shot but he’s not certain to stay the trip and also Pallas Lord, but he’s much better on the all-weather and returns to turf on a career high mark, which would be some ask.


Selection - Alpine Sierra EW (16/1 General 4 places)


17:15 - 1M 4F 104Y handicap - (Lewis)


For a large field, very little pace on paper here with just Sax Appeql & STONKING likely to make it. Now we’ve had our winning from Sax Appeal (🎺) in the week ahead recently so I’ll be taking the Heather Main runner here. 


Has had a spin over hurdles this winter and even then he was blasted from the front, handles turf and the trainer very rarely ventures to Musselburgh without bringing some prize money back, she’s sent 9 runners to Musselburgh all time yielding 2 winners and 3 further placed efforts. Extended 12 furlongs won’t be a problem here and I think he’s a knocking each way bet.


Selection - Stonking E/W (10/1 Bet365 and William Hill 4 places)


6:45 Musselburgh - 5F handicap - (Elliot)


EQUALITY drops back into handicap company here for the first time since bolting up off 102 at Windsor last season and also went on to place in g1 afterwards, has had 2 runs at meydan down the field in group company managing to get 3lb back from the handicapper so should be fit. Will be ridden prominently which is the place to be here, think he will be too good for these and should be going very close here. Price has collapsed over night but think he’s still a bet at 4/1.


Selection - Equality (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...
