Southwell AW Racing – Wed 26 March
Decent day today at Southwell, put two horses on Twitter, one won, 20/1 sp Calculating.
No big prices there for Wednesday, well not to me anyway. I’ve picked the horses as per normal and then as always price up after. Prices are Bet365 and might be slightly out of date now time I’ve done this blog, but are genuine.
I’ll write a very brief line for each, to give you a part of the reason I’ve chosen them.
SOUTHWELL
2.10 Jack Dawkins – Good record here, only lost last time by just over a length to Stand Guard. (No price yet)
3.10 Caldercruix – Narrowly beaten here on Saturday in a much better race. Won here before. (9/4)
3.45 Sewn Up – Won here recently, at better Class than the rest. Giving a lot of weight to the favourite though. (11/4)
4.20 Rio Cobolo – Won 2 of last 3 here at Class 5, beat Hellbender lto who I rate. Still on winning mark (5/1)
4.55 Luv U Whatever – 2 from 2 here. Beat Ivy Port lto, IP won today. (7/4)
If either of the 3.10, 3.45, 4.20 or 4.55 are to get beat, here’s what I think by, so Reverse Forecast:
3.10 Caldercruix / Kung Hei Fat Choy
3.45 Sewn Up / Hannah’s Turn
4.20 Rio Cobolo / Elusive Hawk
4.55 Luv U Whatever / Apache Rising

My picks for Monday’s Racing…
CARLISLE
2.00 Madame Lillibet 5/2
2.30 Charlie’s Vic 1/3
3.40 Markadam 11/2, McMurrough 12/1
4.40 Imjoeking 5/4

2.50 Wychwoods Brook 6/5
WOLVERHAMPTON
3.15 Bussa 11/4
4.20 Red Somerset 11/8
5.25 Scamperdale 12/1
5.55 Sewn Up 13/2
^ 8.10am: all races priced up now… The two short odds ones were picked last night, prior to being priced up this morning. 5/4 was the shortest price.
Wolverhampton Sunday 6th January
These are the prices now. I got some bigger last night, but also some were shorter last night and now bigger now.
1.45pm
My initial choice was Lord Buffhead, now a non runner. 2nd choice was Chateau Lola 3/1.
2.15pm
The favourite is still yet to win again after winning a Maiden at Leicester 2011, drops a Class today though. Lean On Pete 3/1 for me, won his last 2 races here, both with today’s jockey.
2.45pm
Scamperdale 25/1. As the price suggests long shot. But I’ve spotted something which makes me think maybe. The fav is odds on.
Bit unusual to me Violet Jordan only sends one horse here today: Brown Pete.
3.50pm
I’m staying loyal to Archie Stevens 15/8. Does look the best horse though & T.Dascombe’s only runner, plus was pulled out of an easier race yesterday at Lingfield. Although Fortinbrass could be hard to beat, ran a decent race last time at Class 4. Jim Crowley’s only ride here.
4.20pm
The fav Khawatim is yet to win over here (was originally in France), no decent form at all yet backed in from 9/1 to 3/1. For me Dancing Maite 20/1. Decent record here.

Sat 13th Oct – York HorsePointers

York Racecourse
Struggling today… I looked at Newmarket last night, and couldn’t find anything strong there aswell. I found a strong selection in the 4.55 York, went to check price and non runner!
There’s 38 non runners at York today, so the bookies have cut a lot of prices with depleted fields, there’s 9 out in the first race alone!
Also with 2 decent days in a row trying to make it 3 in a row and on the hardest day of the week plus with added expectation = pressure.
York
2.05pm
Hard race to call, I’ve narrowed it to 3: Jamaican Bolt, Verinco, Steps. Because I can’t narrow it to one I’ll skip this race. So win or lose, I won’t be using this races result.
3.45pm
Bubbly Bellini 15/2. (Unplaced) I was given this in the week by @BigTajMamal, and having checked the horse today I can see why. Form on Heavy/Soft is: 31311 between 5f and 7f. Today’s race is 6f. He won 2 weeks ago at the Curragh, 6f Heavy.
4.55
River Dragon 9/2. (Unplaced) Heavy form (including hurdling): 2132411. Has won 2 of 3 Flat races on Heavy. Impressive win last week at Hexham, must of traded massive in running.
5.30pm
Calaf 11/2. (Unplaced) The only horse to win on Heavy at today’s Distance, at Ayr 11 days ago (Class 3). Jockey Dale Swift is 2 wins from 3 when riding, and horse has won last two races since wearing headgear… It’s on again today. Horses previous win was Class 4.
I’m not very confident today, so please don’t bet too much if you use the above selections.

Fri 22nd June – Redcar horseracing

Redcar Racecourse
I’ve already done today’s Royal Ascot Pointers which are here
But I’ve also had a look at Redcar today, with Royal Ascot proving a lottery this week. I’ve researched them like normal, and then checked prices after. Unfortunately most are either favourite or second favourite. Which means short prices, but also means they “should” win.

Scottish Boogie (Non-runner)
Eijazz (6/1) 24% win & 43% place on Ground, 14% win & 43% place at Distance, won twice at Course, 60% place at Class.
