Each way
Racing post says he was a runner up to a good sort in a barrier trial.
I watched his barrier trial and he actually won comfortably. Certainly beat a classy horse (although barrier trials are deceptive.) Flying high was the horse in the trial.
Drawn stall 8 and low in the field.
Hasn't got long to turn things around, but good local jockey booked who scored a hat trick on new years day. Full set of headgear on and although might need the run, priced accordingly.
RESULTS UPDATE
Well, at least something went right for my bets. Funny enough the horse just seemed to run inexplicably badly. This gave me an MTD of +46.22 and YTD of +2.52 Hoorahh.
Happy New Year everyone
Saturday already!
11.50 I've taken 4.9 and 1.9 about the hat trick seeking Starshiba. The gelding carries another 3lb penalty taking his rating to 75, still seems lenient for a horse that has won off 82 in the past. I do realise that Gidwa beat Starshiba and is 2lb better off but that was before the selection hit form. He only ever wins on the all weather and could go in again tomorrow.................................................................................given a lot to do, got the place at 1.87?
12.10 Grivetana is down in class after finishing runner up in a Class 1 (Gerry Fielden) last time out, the third placed has franked the form and 2.3 is a fair price.................................................................................................................................................................got that one all wrong ?
12.25 Kateira looked a really useful prospect winning on hurdling debut winning quite easily and obviously there is more to come, trading around the 2.9 mark on the exchanges, may have a saver on Vic Peak depending how the prices go nearer the off. - Sat morning, Kateira a non runner si I've gone in for Victorias Peak at 4.2 and 2.1 2Tbp...........................................................................................................................2nd place at 2.1, better than nowt as they say..?
1.00 Its a race where School for Scandal can race from his proper mark having been out of the handicap last time out but still managing to finish second, just held, the front two were 19 lengths in front of the third and he must have a chance at a price tomorrow, currently 9/1 best with the books or 11 on the exchanges, win and place bet.........................Sat morning, School for Scandal has halved in price (even after the non runner) I've an average of 10 and have traded out for an average of 5 for an average profit of .98 of a point regardless of the result, common sense to me, always look after your stake.?
1.08 Still just a 5 year old so hopefully more to come from Secret Trix, won last time out after being upped in distance to 3 miles for the first time, tomorrows race is deeper but he's only ben raised 3lbs so at around the 5 mark could be a good win and place offering......................................................................................................................................................................................hit 1.15 in running (lay off price reached) but had to settle for a place once again, place price I got was 1.95?
1.30 Another upped just three pounds for a first win over a new distance is Vision of Hope, won over 12 furlongs last time out, tomorrows race is no harder so a good showing is hoped for, win and place. Uther Pendragon is looking for a 4 timer so it wont be easy. On the exchanges at around 5.5........................................................................................................................................... finally a winner WON returned at a Bfsp of 5.12, 5.5 was better, placed at 2.13?
2.10 Raised 3lbs for falling last time is Smugglers Blues, he was in with a fir chance when falling three out at Wincanton, tomorrows race is no more difficult so is worth chancing at around the 11/2 mark and drifting and around 7.6 on the exchanges, win and place................got that one totally wrong ?
2.40 Never out of the first three on the all weather Morgan Fairy has a real chance in this Class 3 at Lingfield, 3.7 on the exchanges but will probably have a saver on Sunset Bay at around the 13 mark, down in Class for the first time since finishing 2nd in a Class 3 HCap off a higher mark 16 months ago................. ................lots of late money for this one, nice to get the early 3.7 WON......?
3.00 A Grade 1 Novice Hurdle, Hermes Allen looked one to follow after winning a Grade 2 race unchallenged, beating a 129 rated Elliott horse so a rating of 142 looks very fair, he has of course got to give 7lb to some of his rivals tomorrow but he really did look one to follow, trading around the 2.58 mark..............................................................................................................................WON very easily, looks a nice prospect and nice to get the early 2.52.?
3.15 I'm hoping that Levi Williams has learnt his lesson, he should have won on Nubough at Lingfield last time out, gave the horse far too much to do, had him far too wide and only just failed, he's been raised 2 lbs for that but this race is no harder. Trading at 4.8 or 7/2 with the books.
