The Neighsayers - Go Racing in Yorkshire 19/7/24

Go Racing in Yorkshire!

Your fav Yorkshireman is back from a bit of a quiet period and I thought I’d focus on the Go Racing in Yorkshire race week, I’ll bring you a daily blog on the key meetings in Gods County this week and hopefully find a few winners along the way!

I’ll start with a the specials markets as they’re abit of a novelty but I have had a couple of plays in them..

GRIY Top Jockey
The festival run over 9 days and includes 10 race meetings in that time, starting at Pontefract tomorrow and ending on Sat 27th July at York. In the Top Jockey market, I’ve highlighted 2 jockeys in which I think may have a good chance of taking top spot. 

Tom Eaves has been enjoying a good season in the saddle, picking up some good rides across the north and I expect that to continue this week. At 8/1 he seems a fairly solid option. The same can be said for Jo Mason, who has already picked up 40+ wins this season. She’s priced a very fair 16/1 and I expect grandad Mick might have a few laid out for her this week. I’ve had a fun small bet on both. 

GRIY Top Trainer 
I was very surprised to find Craig Lidster at 20/1 in the top trainers market for this. He targets these local Yorkshire tracks and is operating at a fair strike rate this season. Tom Eaves also picks up the odd ride for this yard so hopefully we can be on a winning combo come Saturday!


Right, onto the proper stuff! We start the Festival at Ponte Carlo tomorrow evening…

19.20 - Sky Bey Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Handicap (Class 4)

In a race where a few horses re-oppose each other, my best bet on the card is the Richard Fahey trained Hartswood. A consistent horse over the years, he comes here off the same mark having run a cracker at Newcastle from an unfavoured draw. He gets a plum draw here for front running tactics which should suit at Ponte. Zozimus has been pretty solid in defeat this season, but hartswood comes into this on 3lb better terms. Alethiometer also looks a danger having had no luck in running last time but hold up tactics at this track might see a reoccurrence of that today. At the prices available Hartswood looks a great bet. 

Selection - Hartswood (3/1 Betfair, Paddy, Unibet, 5/2 Elsewhere)


19.55 - Always Trying Racing Syndicate Handicap (Class 4)

Nice little sprint heat here and I’m going to be playing the Ben Haslam trained Wen Moon. He’s been in solid form of late, and was unlucky in his recent race at York, having been sluggish from the gate. The race before he ran a brilliant 2nd to Room Service, now rated 105 and a winner of a valuable 2yo race at Doncaster. At 11/2 and the 3 places on offer, I think Wen Moon can get the job done from a nice draw in 3. 

Selection - Wen Moon EW (4/1 Coral & Lads, 7/2 Hills, Unibet, 3/1 Otherwise)


Best of luck and we’ll be back for day 2 of the festival tomorrow. Stay Lucky šŸ¤žšŸ»

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...
