Two 125/1 winners on Friday 13th and one of them, newcomer Maybe Even Never, just happened to beat our 9/1 nap Raydoun; a vexing end to a ubiquitous week when all two-year-old ‘star’ selections made the frame at inflated odds. I know my policy of plumping for big ‘uns’ isContinue Reading

My Little Tip represents an each-way ‘steal’ in the eight-runner Novice Stakes over six furlongs of Chelmsford polytrack tonight and this is a real ‘humdinger’ in my book, following on from another intriguing two-year-old race on ‘good to soft’ Beverley earlier; my only worries, regarding a double, will be ‘non-runners!’Continue Reading
