Horse Racing Preview -Ripon – 8th June 2017

by ·Comments Off on Horse Racing Preview -Ripon – 8th June 2017

The horse racing preview comes from one meeting today, at Ripon. A few days off to recharge the batteries and come back fresh.

16.30 Ripon  – SIS Streaming Content Globally Maiden Stakes (8f)
Richard Fahey’s Nathaniel filly Liquid Gold I feel should be too good for today’s opposition. She bumped into a nice sort at Beverly on debut from the Roger Varian yard in Mountain Angel who has gone on to be just denied in a 0-85 handicap at Doncaster a few days ago.
She steps up to 8f this afternoon and would expect her to crack her maiden tag at the second time of asking with the form being franked by the third and fifth both winning.
Dangers if any possible Stoutes Highland Cradle, but still unproven on turf , Bob Maxwell ran well when second to David Simcocks Hugin on the all weather and can only improve, eye catching booking of Danny Tudhope.
Liquid Gold : 3pt win @ 5/2 (BOG)

Horse Racing Preview -Gowran Park and Newton Abbot – 5th June 2017

by ·Comments Off on Horse Racing Preview -Gowran Park and Newton Abbot – 5th June 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from two meetings, Gowran Park and Newton Abbot.

13.35 Gowran Park – Ladies Day June 24th (C&G) Maiden (9.5f)

Very difficult to look past Ger Lyons Cannonball, a Loup De Vega off spring and related to several winners should be too good for his opposition first time out. Best of the rest looks to come in Shabdiz of the Aga Khan’s who has a nice pedigree being by Sea The Stars through the bloodline of Marju.

Gloves On is also nicely pedigreed by Teofilo out of Tiffed and represents another yard in good form in Jim Bolger and Godolphin..

Cannonball : 2pt win @ 7/4 (BOG)

14.05 Gowran Park – Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Median Auction Maiden Fillies Maiden. (9.5f)

Jessica Harrington looks to have a very promising type on her hands here with Two For Tea who ran in a corresponding race at Cork last month when a good third to Hillcrest Fire, that was over half a furlong further than today and should make her presence felt under today’s pilot Connor O’Donoghue who is a very able booking.

Furiosa finished nine lengths in front of the selection at Cork, being by Bushranger I am a little surprise they are dropping her almost three quarters of a furlong when she looked to have staying attitude on her side.

Two For Tea : 1.5pt Win @ 11/4 (BOG)

14.40 Newton Abbot – totepool Racecourse Debit Card Betting Available Chase (Novices Limited Handicap)

I am very sweet on Colin Tizzard’s Exxaro here in what looks a good opportunity to progress on his fourth place at Warwick in a 0-135 Chase finishing when only one length separating the first four.

Once with Henry De Bromhead winning, over the trip and beyond and will be very hard to beat under Cobden. I think the one chasing him home is Kim Bailey’s Such A Legend who ran out second in a 0-135 recently at Southwell.

Exxaro : 3pt win @ 7/4 (BOG)

Horse Racing Preview -Fakenham, Perth & Listowel – 4th June 2017

by ·Comments Off on Horse Racing Preview -Fakenham, Perth & Listowel – 4th June 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from three meetings, Fakenham, Perth and Listowel.That was a hard couple of days, and we see the biggest price Derby winner at 40/1 for 43 years, good old O’Brien pulling the wool over our eyes, he must know who’s going to stay and who’s not.

The only horse to take out of the race is Cracksman who for me would get the trip again, but the way he travelled into the race at the quarter pole suggests hopefully they drop him back to 10f.

 

14.10 Listowel – Irish Stallions Farm European Breeders Fund Median Auction Maiden (6.1f)

I put up a horse this week from Jessica Harrington’s stables in Whitefountainfairy who absolutely bolted up at Fairyhouse. That particular maiden looks to have potential on future winners, back in tenth just four and a half lengths was Ballet Box.

Now like her stablemate she found all sorts of problems in running within the race, but with the past blog winner I would like to presume that the trainer sends only this entry to the courier today.

If by any standards she fails once more, I am now finding it hard to get her beat. Joseph O’Brien has the second favourite here in Dowhatisay who was long way back on debut at Navan, yard in good form, but not for me.

Gordon Elliott has always done well around both codes and saddles the likely favourite here in Monkeylou. He has big pattern engagements on the calander this year such as the Phoenix Stakes, but again being by Dream Ahead this could be too sharp for him.today.

Ballet Box : 2pt win @ 6/1 (BOG) NAP

14.15 Perth – Gateway To The Highlands Novices Hurdle (20f)

A forward looking type I like here is Air Squadron who was trained on the flat by Ralph Beckett. The five time winner had good success around 0-85 handicaps. Since arriving at Tom George’s his opening run was encouraging when runner up to a nice type from Paul Nicholas yard.

This looks the right thing to do now stepping him up to just shy of two and a half miles, he could give Lady Cobham a lot of fun over the summer.

Irish raider Jimmy Breekie has not shown me enough to suggest a win is imminent but with bumper winner Golden Jeffrey who has won twice at Scottish tracks this year at Ayr and Kelso, is a major player here.

Air Squadron : 2pt win @ 9/2 (BOG)

15.00 Fakenham – Kings Lynn Audi Maiden Hurdle (16f)

I put forward Harry Skelton’s Coroberee twice now and both times has been missing at the party. I can’t fathom this horse out, such potential on board but has failed to bring it to the table .

This afternoon he is not going to get a better opportunity to get his first win over hurdles. I’ve looked at the prospects of it being beaten, I cannot find anything than looks remarkably close.

Coroberee : 2pt win @ 7/2 (BOG)
