Horse Racing Bets (win...e/w....place

Sky Legend was well backed (4/1) however the jockey was niggling at him three furlongs from home and gave him two gentle taps letting him come home in his own time, one to keep in mind however he did look on the small side to me so would prefer to see carrying light weights, only my opinion of course

A loss of 4 points on the night

Tim its called Gambling but thanks for the encouragement.

As this is a racing forum here are some views and stats

MAKAROVA

Ed Walker

I have done little with her since Salisbury 12 days ago. It looks a really good spot for her, I just hope the ground doesn’t dry up too much. I think she has a good chance with Tom back on board and would be disappointed if we don’t beat the Haggas horse Tarhib.

Light Up Our Stars....18:45, Newcastle

DEC Odds: 36 (Betfair Exc)

Experienced sort that has won 8 times, including four times this year. Fourth run for us after coming to us back in June, but won well on first run for up at Epsom. Two fair runs since and the last of those came in a better race too than the one he won. Has the pace to come with the drop back to 1m here, but also has stamina for further which will help in the closing stages if able to keep tabs. Very tough race for the grade though, but 6 of his 8 career runs came on the AW so looking forward to seeing how he gets on here at Newcastle. Small e/w chance.

Fresh Hope 19:15, Newcastle

DEC Odds: 5.1 (Betfair Exc)

Another with a fair chance of getting involved - having won here last time out at the track. Got home by just a neck that day and up 3lbs for that here but is a horse that only does enough and we feel she had more in the tank last time. Should go well again and another Hayley rides.

Travesuras 20:30, Chelmsford

DEC Odds: 3.85 (Betfair Exc)

In good order despite being a beaten favourite last time out at Windsor. Back on the AW will suit and we've booked Harry Davies to help by taking off 3lbs this time. Well drawn in 1 too and in what doesn't look a great race will have a leading chance.

SWAYZE

William Muir & Chris Grassick

I think Swayze will run a big race today, on form he is 10lb better off with the favourite from his last run at Ascot where was only beaten under a length by Many A Star. He was squeezed out of a bit on that run and we are 14/1 and the favourite is 4/1 and we have a 10lb pull. I think he could run a very big race.

QUOTE FROM WILLIAM MUIR

Inchbae finished 6th, certainly one to follow.

Onto today

Newbury 2.53 Surely Not 2pts win 4/1 1st 😀 😀 😀

Bank now...+20pts

Saturday Newmarket

5.01pm Sonnetina 1pt e/w 25/1 6 places bet365

OK so here we have a field of 20 Amateur jockey's

Half of them on donkey's

Half of them won't be fit (jockeys)

and in Sonnetina we have a horse who has raced 15 times on turf and finished 11 times in the first four places plus her lady jockey has had 105 races in her lifetime and finished in the first four places.....44 times

The track should suit as they head for home early and SONNETINA hopefully runs thru for a place or better, well that's the plan 😀

Two losers and 6pts loss on the day.

Injazati 

Sat 24th Sep 2022

15:40, Newmarket

DEC Odds: 17 (Betfair Exc)

Injazati didn't get home over further last time so this drop in trip should suit. Hopefully the ground doesn't dry out too much and the track should suit him. Very hopeful. Trainer

PISGAH PIKE

Jamie Snowden

A remarkable horse with not much of a pedigree, who has been a star for us. After being placed in a bumper, he won two novice hurdles the season before last and was just touched off in a listed event at Market Rasen on handicap debut. He won two novice chases last season and was given a lofty rating. However, we thought he was quite ‘well in’ off his hurdles rating and so it proved when winning the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen in July – the big hurdle race of the summer. Up 4lbs for that, we gave him a spin at Worcester in August, but he pulled both front shoes off that day, so we can forgive him that, and the handicapper gave us a pound back... this race has been the plan since his summer hurdle success, and a repeat of that effort will see him bang there again.

Only the one bet today

Newcastle 8.30 amazing alba 1pt e/w 28/1 skybet 4 places

some snippets for anyone interested

1.25 HAMMY END

William Muir & Chris Grassick

He is one of those who always runs very well but does not win very often, and I can see again a similar sort of thing. He is in good form and the track will suit him, but if he gets a bit of luck he might win as he always wins a race or two. 4/1

2.00 DECEIVER

Daniel & Claire Kübler

A big raw colt who is a half-brother to Outgate who did so well for us last year and the beginning of this before being sold to Hong Kong, the favourite will be tough to beat as he already has very good form. However, the small field and big galloping track offer a nice opportunity to start his career off and we hope he will develop into a nice horse in time. 22/1

SEA THE CLOUDS

Jamie Snowden

Out of an unraced half-sister to the Group 2 winner over 1m, Echo Of Light, and Listed 1m4f winner Akarem. Sea the Clouds is a half-brother to Contented who has won over hurdles and fences, and a full brother to My Mate Mozzie who developed into a Graded novice hurdler. Sea the Clouds was placed in three bumpers last season, and won a bumper on his seasonal return. He jumps well, and should develop into a smart hurdler in time. Hopefully he can start off on the right foot today.

Wolverhampton 8.30 WURLITZER 3pts win 9/2 1st 6/1

Not only does WURLITZER win but a lovely little drift out to 6/1 brings the bank to +30pts

Kempton 8.30 SKY LEGEND 2pts e/w 15/2 Hills 4 places

OK we were on this fella last week when he was backed from 10/1 into 4/1 over 1m4f, below was the summary

8.00 SKY LEGEND 1pt win 9/1 plus 3pts in the 3 place market skybet 13/8

Runs tonight for the first time since wind/gelding op so you could be a little worried whether this is a "lets see has it worked or is it off tonight" By Galileo out of a Spectre mare with a dosage of 0.64, has a course 3rd over a mile this extra distance should suit it really well.

Trainer/jockey combo over the last five years at Kempton 18 runners / 5 winners / 11 place / with an A/E of 1.62 (so a few decent priced winners in there.

The Galileo angle was much poorer in the win percentage (12.15%) than I had expected however the place strike rate (29%) is decent enough to put my hand in my pocket

154 days since last run so fitness also a worry however as I said the yard are 5 winners from 18 runners so lets hope the first of many runs well tonight

I have watched the race again this morning and the jockey could not have been any easier on Sky Legend so I think he is worth a punt.

Another one I am interested in although at bigger risky odd is

8.00 MARTINEO 16/1 1pt e/w skybet four places

ran on the allweather 33 times and was placed in the first three places 11 times. with the jockeys 3LB claim has never been rated lower, his style of running should suit the course, only ran 20 days ago 16s looks big to me however it is the Butler stable and tonight may not be the MARTINEOS TURN.

Bellewstown 5.35 steps in the sand 12/1 2pts e/w skybet/powers 5 places

Think there might be a few quid for this yoke today, last time the jockey ride this race in a 1m5f handicap, the four top rated horses in that race were

72...68...66...66

top four rated horses in todays race are 65...63...60...58

add in the handicapper has dropped the filly 3LB so with the kids 7lb claim he sneaks in here racing off 55 the filly's lowest ever rating, she is drawn 8 which is not too bad but I would like to see her in front at some stage of the race as she should stay this 1m4f race well with a dosage of 1.00

Back in Roscommon when she finished 4th to SALLY GOLIGHTLY rated 74 although beaten only 3 and 1/4L here are the comments of racingpost

Bumped start, in rear, headway going okay over 2f out, keeping on when nudged along until short of room and hampered 2f out, soon lost position and switched left, ridden over 1f out, not clear run repeatedly final 110yds, ran on, not reach leaders (op 22/1)

that was also 1m4f albeit on soft ground anyway 12s looks too big

Dundalk 7.30 PLANKTON 2pts e/w 14/1 skybet 5 places

Plankton was beaten fav in his first two maidens at prices of 8/13f and 2/1jf. both winners (rated 72...77) of the races were fairly battle hardened and the bare reading of the form points to PLANKTON running well tomorrow. Comments for both races below

Towards rear but in touch with leaders, headway when ridden on outer 2f out, hung right and ran green when went second under 2f out, kept on but held inside final furlong, eased final strides, no match for winner (op 4/9)

Soon prominent towards near side, led narrowly when ridden under 2f out, headed inside final furlong, soon no chance with winner but kept on (op 3/1)

Then went to a 7f claimer in Leopardstown finishing 3rd comments below

Held up in midfield, headway when pushed along on outer from over 2f out, keeping on when ridden over 1f out, went third final strides, no match for first two (op 11/4)

Steps up to 1m in tomorrows race which contains the four top rated horses 65..63..63..62

14/1 .... 5 places looks big to me

two losers today however both ran ok
