Before you read my article I’d like to state how much I appreciated a ‘letter of thanks’ from a readers who signed himself FINLAY! I’m able to guarantee the last thing on my mind is retirement and these rambling missives will be submitted until I drop, hopefully a good fewContinue Reading
Finland beat Denmark 1-0 in their Euro 2020 game after the meeting was earlier paused following the collapse of player Christian Eriksen. The game restarted at 7.30pm Irish time after it was confirmed Eriksen was awake and stabilised in hospital. The Denmark midfielder collapsed on the pitch of the ParkenContinue Reading
Sam Twiston-Davies provided a solid reason why I’ve long placed tremendous emphasis on jockeyship when winning on the somewhat recalcitrant Dr Richard Newland-trained Olympic Conqueror over two tense miles of Uttoxeter last Thursday; a short-head verdict over Ambassador doesn’t tell half the story. Alright so it was the second legContinue Reading
Another short-priced ‘professional special’ double yesterday became a ‘full house’ because C’mon Kenny was withdrawn earlier due to over-watering at Nottingham, again! Income is a time-handicap ‘special’ expected to bring reward for serious punters in a twelve-runner Maiden Fillies’ Stakes over six furlongs of ‘good to firm’ Goodwood tonight;Continue Reading
C’mon Kenny provides an interesting theory to effect of weight-for-age in a Maiden Stakes over a mile of ‘good to firm’ Nottingham this afternoon when the twice-raced Ian Williams-trained five-year-old Dutch Art gelding is set carry ten stones, 16lbs more than Matamua, a three-year-old filly which will also be havingContinue Reading

‘A ‘daay’ to ‘Remember’ it certainly was when our ‘headline’ horse romped home unchallenged at Lingfield to kick off this week in grand style and later Tom Marquand took Windsor by storm with a devastating hat-trick in an hour locals will never forget; his rides on all-the-way winners Sea SylphContinue Reading
Tantastic is a very long time winning but a gilt-edged opportunity presents itself in the eight-runner Novice Median Auction Stakes over five furlongs of Wolverhampton tapeta today; it will be impossible for Brian Ellison’s charge to gain ‘winning brackets’ if this tenth attempt fails. One of my favourite sayings is,Continue Reading
GERMANY host Latvia in their final Euro 2020 warm-up friendly before the big kick-off. Joachim Low’s side were held by Denmark in their last friendly and will contest a Group of Death in the finals alongside France, Portugal and Hungary.Continue Reading
Riknnah, heavily-backed, concluded what became a troublesome week of missed opportunities when prevailing narrowly Saturday night, on Lingfield polytrack; how significant and ironic! Injustice of over-watering turf racecourses surfaced dramatically (yet again!) at Epsom where starting prices, positioning of runners was farcical as jockeys were again completely mystified by underfootContinue Reading
