As you can see, there are many notable absences but that is because they are still working their way back after Euro 2020. Goalkeepers: Nathan Bishop, Lee Grant, Tom Heaton, Matej Kovar. Defenders: Di’Shon Bernard, WillContinue Reading
Chipotle proved a huge disappointment in the Newbury Super Sprint, Saturday; at no stage did Eve Johnson Houghton’s charge ever threaten to justify favouritism under ‘new’ jockey David Probert who found himself hemmed in at halfway, among a clutch of inferior rivals, and didn’t manage a clear run approaching theContinue Reading
Beholden will represent a major disappointment if unable to beat ten rivals in a Maiden Hurdle over two and a quarter miles of ‘good to soft’ Newton Abbot this afternoon; although not quite a ‘cert’ on my time-handicap, which is all about unearthing selections meeting obvious median requirement, this consistent,Continue Reading
Chipotle, short-priced favourite for the prestigious class 2. twenty-two runner Weatherbys Sprint Trophy over five furlongs of ‘good to soft’ Newbury this afternoon, was 22/1 when storming home to register his third success from four outings last month, at Royal Ascot! I ‘bottled it’ unceremoniously, due to conflicting reports aboutContinue Reading
Seinsational, one of nine ‘decs’ for a weak-looking Maiden Hurdle over two miles of ‘good’ ground Worcester tonight, is taking a long time to win, I’m not sure he wants to! Napped twice in this column Dr Newland’s vexing charge has raced erratically for Sam Twiston-Davies and significantly the lastContinue Reading

Power Of Beauty should be in evidence tonight when the Hugo Palmer-trained Slade Power colt contests division one of a Maiden Stakes over seven furlongs of Wolverhampton tapeta, also the surface at Newcastle where Michael Dickinson’s creation is being laid next month on the superb left-handed galloping racetrack of Southwell.Continue Reading
FAMILY RAISING CASH FOR FUNERAL EXPENSES VIA GOFUNDME Orndorff’s family created a GoFundMe page in order to raise money for the icon’s funeral. On the page, Travis’s wife, Amayou Smith, wrote: “Hi my name is Amayou, my husband is Travis Orndorff. “As some of you may know we are preparing for PaulContinue Reading
Gentle Ellen is a FUN (follow up nap) selection for division one of a Novice Stakes over five furlongs of ‘good to soft’ Beverley today when David Barron’s charge fits my median requirement and ticks more than enough boxes for a strong ‘investment!’ Following an encouraging debut over a similarContinue Reading
Red Showgirl, advantaged with a 5lbs fillies’ allowance in the nine-runner Novice Stakes over five furlongs of Lingfield polytrack tonight, has a gilt-edged opportunity to make it third time lucky and is mount of Hollie Doyle; that’s always a plus even though husband-to-be Tom Marquand has put the ‘pocket rocket’Continue Reading
