Racing Chat-Monday 17th February 2025

[Systemight]

The big news of the weekend is the sad loss of a young talented jockey, doing the job in the sport that he loved.

Despite the Racing authorities very best efforts to make Racing as safe as possible for both our Human and equine hero's, this incident once again show's the peril's of our sport.

The Racing regular will read the news, will rightly be horrified, geniunely feel sorry for all concerned and may even feel obliged to post a R.I.P message on Social Media.

Then moan like mad the next time courses omit fences due to low sun..because it messes up their ten bob acca..

Good morning all.

Now in chase mode as far as profit for February is concerned so here goes then starting with today. 

Just the one jumps race I am interested in today so these are my selections with brief summary:

Carlisle 2.50 TANGANIYKA @ 7/2 (generally)  (rev. f/cst with The Wolf)

Carlisle 2.50 THE WOLF @ 13/2 (ladbrokes/unibet)

Fortunate Man is a worthy favourite for the race but hoping the six year old can be got at from a handicapping point of view. Same comments relate to Geryville and Raceview Road woud be a big player if fit. Tanganiyka is talented but very quirky so if it put's in a stinker have to cover The Wolf with Sean Bowen (a big plus) on being a big danger.

Will post a couple of flat selections for fun seperately.
