davor1chance Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Afternoon all. Am off to thirsk tomorrow and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the races. Thought I'd ask now as I may not be able to log on tomorrow morning. Local Yorkshire trainers easterby and Kevin Ryan do well here so will be looking out for those. Any thoughts/stats or any info appreciated. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Re: Thirsk races David O'Meara seems to be sending a decent squad there tomorrow, be surprised if he didn't have a winner or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheerluck Holmes Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Re: Thirsk races I'm going tomorrow too - spending the evening studying the form as the missus is out! :lol Will be putting up my (probably losing) bets in my thread. :ok It's going to lash it down so expect the ground to get softer.

davor1chance Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Re: Thirsk races Bloody typical! Just bought myself a new whistle and flute as well! New we wouldn't get a day like today. Oh well, won't dampen the spirits! Cheers for replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_eastern_ram Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Re: Thirsk races Anyone in the Thirsk area got an update on the weather? Reading the form on the basis of it being on the soft side? Suppose to be p*ssing it down about now and for the next 12-16 hours according to the met office site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedthewolf Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Re: Thirsk races In the 2.50 race if it gets very soft outsider TOWBEE will have a very decent e/w chance currently 20/1 with PP and available at around 30's on BF. Back on last winning mark and is way overpriced in my opinion have also had a bit on COCKTAIL CHARLIE @ 15.5 on BF only ever won the one race should have been more but will get its head in front this season maybe even a few times is my predication currently on a very attractive mark can be quirky and needs luck but well capable off this mark imo.

davor1chance Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Re: Thirsk races Weather update ...it has continued to pour down over night and is currently chucking it down quite heavily. Definitely soft ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodge Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Re: Thirsk races I'm quite keen on Jedward at double figure odds in the 2.50. Hard to weigh up given his consistency but he's only 1lb higher than his last win which came on soft ground at Newmarket last season. Blinkers go on for the first time and it would surprise me if Kevin Ryan didn't get the best out of him at some point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Bailey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Re: Thirsk races Glad to hear about the rain... I just posted these in the daily thread. Thirsk I have had a little nibble at a couple of these in the hope the ground turns soft. 2.50 - Jack Luey 8/1 >Paddy Power - Looks progressive and has a good record fresh. His times havent been overly quick but his hold up style can sometimes disguise that. 3.25 - Ashpan Sam 12/1 Various Firms - Another horse that will relish the ground should it turn soft. Klynch, Dick Bos and Fast Shot all have claims but their recent form was at a track that severely suits front runners and they were all up with the pace. Chooseaday could be the danger from that race after his slow start and making up ground but I dont think he is at his best on soft. The selections best form is on soft and he has ran two decent races behind progressive types on dry ground at Windsor. 5.10 - Our Boy Jack 10/1 Stan James - This horses best form and best times have come over 8f despite him being mainly campaigned over 6 or 7f. He has form in soft ground and hasnt disgraced himself in a better class of race especially considering he has been badly hampered in a couple of those races. He also seems to get on very with for his 7lb claimer and he wasnt too far off back over 7f last time out. This may not exactly be a plot job but it might be a smart piece of placing from the wiley Richard Fahy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedthewolf Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Re: Thirsk races nice winner Ted. Cocktail Charlie runs tomorrow at Redcar Indeed slightly better race than Saturdays nevertheless worth a small e/w bet at 16's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
