  1. well done BH

    I was watching the Lincoln on SSR and one of the commentators came out with a surprising fact…….. he said he'd done some research and I think he said that over 25 years only 35 horses had come through handicaps and went on to win a group race. It's pretty rare.

    Given how often you hear 'a group horse in a handicap' you'd think it would happen a lot more than 1 or 2 a year

  2. Lots of runners in the Lincoln so I've applied the following to get it down to a reasonable number

    4 and 5 year olds

    must have won at a Mile

    draw middle to high

    still left me with a few too many so I dumped some that have been running on the AW and don't look in good form and also a couple that tend to produce their best on tight tracks

    Now left with 5 - Aquarium, Auxerre, Silver Quartz,, Kynren and Saltonstall.

    To get down to two I've dumped the 2 five year olds and the short priced favourite

    left with

    Aquarium - EW 33/1 

    Silver Quartz - EW at 22/1

     

     

  3. I used to subscribe to Superform as well …….. back in the 80s you'd receive an update weekly which you put in a loose leaf fake leather folder 

    And the you could buy an Annual for Flat or Jumps at the end of the season and chuck your loose leaf folder away

    When I came back to racing around 2008 after a 10 year gap I was really pleased to find Superform available free online …….. I used it all the time until it closed down

    The only thing I subscribed to online was the Racing Post but I cancelled my subscription some time ago and now just use the free version …… seems to have everything I need which is just the basic form. 

  4. 3.00 Kelso - £10 EW 0n Calipso Collonges at 13/2

    Not great odds for an EW shot but a couple of the first 3 in the market have had huge weight increases and might struggle to keep improving so good chance of a place at least. The other two above it in the market are getting on a bit now and might be vulnerable to younger horses.

  5. Looking for a 6 year old who has won over the trip and there's only one

    Outofthisworld - EW at 14/1

    As a bonus we have first time cheekpieces

    Another bonus - P next to her name might ensure better odds … she stumbled and never got going again last time

    Another bonus  - Noel Fehily riding on his last day in the saddle ….. how often do jockeys have a winner on their last day !
