Ran a stinker, got stuffed: -6pts


Fancy a few today, put far too hungover to place more than two bets.

TARANIS. 1:55 @ Chp This horse is a monster, starting him off over hurdles and prolly wont be 100% fit. No matter, will absolutely slaughter this lot. 8pts win

ALFIE FLITS. 2:40 @ Nwb Testing condions will hold no fears and must go close. 3pts win

Good Luck folks!

TARANIS made a very encouraging reappearance, winning well in the end. Will improve significantly for the step up to 3m. Unfortunately I missed the decent prices: 1st of 9 @ 4/5: +6.4pts

ALFIE FLITS never went a yard, and maybe doesn't want ground so deep. Still think he's a classy horse, and will be interesting to see if Swinbank goes back to hurdles with him or, on the back of Collier Hill's big win, looks overseas for some rich Flat races. He's a lot better than this. 10th of 11: -3pts.

+43.45pts

I got slaughtered, despite using longshots (which filled the placings).

We don't really cover Oz racing at all, and I'm not really au fait with any of their horses. Although Tawqeet is one I know a bit about as he was trained by John Dunlop over here last season, including when finishing 3rd to Scorpion in the St Leger.
I downright refuse to back any Australian horse for the Melbourne Cup so my lack of knowledge isn't a real hindrance when it comes to that. We have a fierce sporting rivalry with the Aussies, so I'll probably back all the British challengers (& Yeats) in a double with England to win the Ashes this winter (that's cricket if you didn't know)!!

Big outlay today at HQ, but I like a few of these and sure the winner of the second will come from between these 2. Whilst Ofarel d'Airy & Gungadu have the potential to be very smart.

Legally Fast 2pts e/w
2:45 Lake Imperial: 6pts win
