BBOTD Saturday 28th January 2012

[The Saint]

335 Lingfield – Emerald Wilderness - 7/2 BOG VC 2/2 over CD and an amazing 6 wins and 6 places from 13 runs on British AW venues. 3 times a winner from 4 rides for Eddie Ahern. He claims that the horse pulls up in front but I’ve not seen much evidence of that on his last 2 visits to the track. Was going very, very easily 2/3f out last time and I am sure he can defy the 5lb raise having once been rated 101.

Re: BBOTD Saturday 28th January 2012 *Little Josh - Cheltenham 2:35* Had had a long break this horse, but shows it runs very well fresh when winning at Carlisle in October 2010 , then the following month went to Cheltenham and won the Paddy Power Gold Cup, and it beat Long Run fairly comprehensively that day, a superb run from the front and was not for catching. If it could bring that form to the table tomorrow, it would have a very good chance of filling a place. It has course form, we know it stays up the hill no problem, we know it runs well fresh. It has a record of 8 wins from 16 races, an incredible 50% win strike rate. This is an ultra-competitive race and it could well mean Little Josh could be well out of its depth here, but at the price it is worth an e/w bet. Diamond Harry, Midnight Chase, Time For Rupert and Tidal Bay should all go well, i feel Captain Chris is a poor price as we dont know if it will stay this far so ill stick with Little Josh e/w. *0.5 Points e/w @ 22/1 Hills BOG*
