Betting on racehorses can be a tough game. The tri-cast was there. Paid £106. 2-1 was value with PRESLEY returning at even money. He has just bumped into a better horse on the day. Ben Jones is a genius once in front. See previous posts. As stated all four mentioned are decent. We move on. 😊
Warwick 17:23, March 8, 2026 Nicky Henderson's Jetaway Holiday is decent and ready on debut, while Chinese Whispers is a nice type highly regarded by Emma Lavelle. Don't overlook Ben Pauling's Merry Away either. Still, the one to follow is Presley (Dan Skelton) on his return—around 2/1 looks fair.
Saturday 21st February 26 5.18 - Chepstow - HOOJ Working very well at home. Expected to go close. He was going to win an English point-to-point by a fair distance before he fell two out, but his work at home has been really good and expected to go very well. 7-2 to Win.
Today’s NAP Saturday 21st February 2026 HOE JOLT SMOKE 3.45 Kempton Dan Skelton has targeted this race for Hoe Joly Smoke. Three miles on this track is absolutely ideal for him. We've put a pair of cheekpieces on him as well. He should go close. He's unexposed over 3 miles, well-weighted. 8-1
Saturday 31st January Wetherby 3.50 PRESLEY has come on for his debut and is expected to go close. Fergal O’Brien point winner Midnight Jukebox is also said to be useful. I’m hoping Harry makes it a test and it doesn’t become a sprint. I’ve been waiting for this fellow and my money will be down.
JOB DONE 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I don’t put many up but the results are there for all to see. Another Winner at 4-1
BRAVE GUEST - Ascot 12.25 Sheena West likes him and he has improved race by race since switching to hurdles. Value Bet each way at around 33-1 . Got to be worth a small punt. One to follow.
Today’s NAP Saturday 16th January HERON IN THE PARK Taunton 1.32 4-1 generally Should be up to winning this maiden. Looks a weak race. Tom George holds her in the highest regard, She cost £280k, Sean Bowen booked. Had ran well before unseating at Kempton.
TODAYS NAP MOLLYS LAD - Cheltenham 3.40 The team speak very highly of him and was expected to win at Aintree. Hopefully a more positive ride can see him go one better. FORTUNE DANCER - Windsor 3.22 Mare has looked a different horse since going chasing and will enjoy operating round this course.
I would like to wish every reader of my posts a happy new year. I hope 2026 brings you happiness, fulfilment and great memories. Cheers 🥂
Today’s NAP - Leopardstown 12.10 While Boxing Day didn't go to plan with early fall, tomorrow offers a prime opportunity in: MIGHTY PARK He is reported to be "ready to go very close" Regardless of the result tomorrow, his connections and potential suggests he is a horse to follow.
What a great KING GEORGE on Boxing Day at Kempton 2025. 🏆 The Jukebox Man gives Harry Redknapp his biggest success after denying Banbridge and Gaelic Warrior in King George thriller x.com/racingtv/sta...
Boxing Day NAP HERON IN THE PARK - Kempton 15.05 Value each way at 16-1 Why: Tom George holds her in the highest regard, She cost £280k, Harry Cobden is booked and could well make all at Kempton a course she will live. Ran better than placing last time. The 3 Bankers are what they say on the tin.
I got today wrong. Apologies. On to Saturday. JOHNNYWHO can run a big race. Connection are very hopeful. He has been laid out for this. The step back up in trip on soft ground, tomorrow can see further improvement. He is a very solid Each-Way shout at 6/1, but he has the class to win it outright.
After yesterday’s losing bet, we go again. NAVAN 3.35 KEEP HIM COMPANY has progress since Fairyhouse and can progress again by winning this. Gordon Elliott has dominated this race over the past decade with winners including Envoi Allen and Sir Gerhard.
🏆🏆 Double up - Both won easily STARMOUNT - Wetherby 11.10 LULAMBA - Sandown 13.50 My note book also had 3 winners and a 10-1 2nd
LATE NEWS PRESLEY - 3.21 Chepstow We run a lovely unraced horse called Presley, by Harzand in the bumper. We have done plenty of work at home and like what we see. He is a big chasing type for the future, but he should do well in a bumper because he’s not a slow horse. One for the notebook.
Nice to have reached 30,000 reads on Booksie. And some very nice comments about my creative writing. Than you. Pleased that people are enjoying reading them. It’s all free and there are far more talented writers on site than myself. Take a look. www.booksie.com
Trainer Martin Dunne wins again - Travel Agent backed at odds of 33-1 the evening before wins at 10-1. His horses are in fine form.
Martin Dunne is a trainer to follow. South Kensington finally gets her head in front. Congratulations to all connected.
Well done Dylan Cunha & connections on their lad KAMAKAMELEON winning his race at Doncaster this evening. 6-1 last night into 7-4 SP 9-4. The money was down 😊 x.com/dylancunha_u...
Here's what happened at day one of the Aintree Grand National Festival with StarSport’s SIMON NOTT. There were some big bets flying around the ring, in one hand and out the other, then the wheels started to wobble. x.com/simonnott/st...
GIDLEIGH PARK back ‘in great form’ ahead of Aintree trip. I won’t be betting on him but hope he does well. He should go close in what looks a very competitive race. He has Arkle winner JANGO BAIE to beat among others. But he is fit and fresh. Aintree 1.45. Good luck Harry Fry Team.
