calva decoy

I usually tend to do better in the UK in the winter when they're are less meetings & I prefer the jumps to flat .
Still learning about US Racing , I've found courses I tend to do better at Belmont , Santa Anita , Gulfsteam & Tampa Bay , courses I'm not to keen on Saratoga , Keeneland & Woodine usually albeit I tipped 3 winners from 4 there last night !

Was a cracking race ?

Shame to hear about Defoe suffering a fatal injury on the gallops , gutsy type .

Donald McCain has a superb record with his hurdlers at Bangor over the last 5 years , 51/194 winners 26% win strike rate with a + LSP of £110.88 , runs 4 their today.

1.10 Goodwood - 1pt win Chamade @ 16/1 Bet365
Clearly the favourite has a chance but to take horses at 11/8 I'd like a bit more of a guarantee on trip and conditions so I'll swerve. Ran very well at Ascot but was keen so going up an extra couple of furlongs poses some questions, for all he saw it out well over a mile and should stay on pedigree. Also has a high knee action which suits soft ground as it was that day and has yet to race on faster than good to soft, so with those two slight question marks I'm going to take on with Chamade. Still unexposed but looks reasonably progressive, running respectably in hot races so far this year. Weakened late on in the Berlin Tango race at Kempton which was the key to a lot of Royal Ascot form through the likes of Pyledriver and then ran even better at Newbury last time in a race that could barely have worked out better. Chamade was 3rd of 7 with the horses in and all of those who have run since going well to see them get ratings of 105, 103, 102 and 104. Chamade goes handicapping off 93 today and I think the track will suit and there's not too many who want to go forward today so I think is capable of a big run from close to the pace.
1.45 Goodwood - 2pts win Smart Champion @ 8/1 Bet365
Obviously mentioned this one a few times this week already and got bigger prices yesterday - backed him at Ascot when running a huge race from behind under similar conditions to today, didn't back that up at Newcastle but that came quickly after a hard race at Ascot and he made a big move on the very wide outside turning in which used up any petrol he had. Expect much better today and we know he stays extremely well so represents a good bet.
2.15 Goodwood - 1pt win Mambo Nights @ 9/1 Bet365
Competitive race but this one ran in good races as a 2yo and has progressed well at 3 upped to middle distances. Readily won first time up this season and then easily backed that up last time, giving plenty of weight away in a small field and making all to score. Had the run of the race there but on formlines would hold the shorter priced A Star Above if taking results literally and is well drawn to get out and a handy position - will enjoy the track and can continue his progression today.
2.45 Goodwood - 2pts win Significantly @ 9/2 Bet365
Shaped very well on debut when touched off by Muker at Newcastle - that one franked that form at Royal Ascot and Significantly has twice gone well since, but has shaped both times like an easy 5f would suit this strong travelling type who just got chinned late on over 6f at Doncaster and then the stiff 5f at Sandown. The form reads well, conditions are spot on and should go well.
3.15 Goodwood - 2pts win Mohaather @ 3/1 Bet365
I'm just not totally sold by the 3yos this year so I'm really keen on Mohaather who was seriously impressive last time after having a nightmare run at Royal Ascot. Obviously Circus Maximus technically holds him on that form but we'll never know what would have happened and it benefited to be on the front end in the Queen Anne. Pretty much all of Mohaather's other form makes him a strong candidate for this with the exception perhaps of one run on heavy but conditions suit and I think he can land this competitive renewal. 
4.20 Goodwood - 1pt win Verboten @ 10/1 Bet365
Flopped on soft ground at Ascot but I think you can forgive that and has some form in the book to give him a good chance here. Was a big eyecatcher at Lingfield two starts back, coming from a mile behind to stay on powerfully late on whilst still looking quite green. Should know more now and with conditions back in his favour and a strong pace to run at, should be able to put in a much better effort this afternoon. 

only couple of winners had it be staked on      best winner 12/1 at Lone Start backed into 9/4 by the off

Nice 16/1 winner with Rudiger Lee ?

As the great Nick Mordin would say all systems have a shelf life, the more they are latched on to the more the prices contract, they soon become non profit.

Fancy ARMORY at 11/1 with to be placed Gold Cup 2.55 Curragh.
Was 2.75L 4th behind Siskin 44 days ago staying on , should relish the step up in trip with today's extra 2f as well as the age for weight allowance.
I visited Charlie Fellowes yard a few years ago & this beast of a horse who Charlie was waxing lyrical about sauntered around the parade ring of P.C.Hyam's who Charlie was borrowing to cater for Elite Racing Club members , the horse JERIMIAH was off for a long period ,has been one paced & disappointing in his 2 runs since returning but if Ascot have had a good soaking overnight & 1st time blinkers do the trick he might be worth a look in the market later on , albeit getting his rating down & a spin over 14f may be key !
