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.
Fri 23rd Nov – Wolverhampton Pointers
6.40 Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton – pic: Visit Stafford
STAR LINKS 7/1. Before any stats, the horses last two wins: Robert Winston has been in the saddle, he is tomorrow. Last two wins the horse has wore a hood. 3 runs since he hasn’t… The hood is back on tomorrow.
All Weather form (which just happens to all be Wolverhampton) at the Distance is: 2141153411, 3 of the 5 wins being at the Class (4).
In the last 6 months no horse in this race has won a Class 4 (or above) apart from… you guessed it.
Interestingly the horse has never won on turf, from 9 tries. So his most recent poor form (last 3 runs) were all on Yielding or Heavy turf, in Ireland.
Just my view, bet at your own risk if you think it’s worth a go.
Fri 19th Oct – Cheltenham + Haydock Pointers & Wolv
AP McCoy at Cheltenham

All my own work, so please RT if you use anything or find it interesting, thanks.
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 12th Oct – York & Bath HorsePointers
York Racecourse
A very good Thursday at Ayr, 5 winners from 7 races (none favourites). Drew a blank at Worcester though, no winners from 4 races.
Unwritten rule:
When it’s wet – don’t bet!!! Be aware that the rain throws up some strange results.
York is currently described as Good to Soft, and with more rain expected over night I’m focusing on Good to Soft and allowing for even softer by tomorrow afternoon.
York
2.00pm
Bachoteque 5/1. (Unplaced) A Class 2 race, and only 1 of the 17 runners has won on a anything softer than Good at this Class. If you drop to Class 3, again there’s only 1 horse fitting this criteria… Bachoteque and it was at today’s Distance. Won his last 2 races (heavy & soft).
3.05pm
Osteopathic Remedy 11/1. (Unplaced) Won his last two Class 2 races at the Distance (on Good to Soft & Heavy.
No Poppy 11/1. (Won) Good to Soft form this season at today’s Distance 231, Class 3 mainly though, so up a Class today. Has raced 3 times on Soft, won all 3.
Bath
1.30pm
Little Rocky 3/1. (Won) Only had 1 try at today’s Class (2), finished 2nd on Soft. Other form this year is 341, the win coming on Soft at today’s Distance (Class 3). One of only 2 horses in the race to win on Soft this year. The other is one that’s won twice for us, but not at this sort of Class.
2.40pm
Gladiatrix 2/1. (Won) She’s won her last 3 races, 2 of them here. Latest win was on Monday by 4 lengths which was the first time trying 5f. First attempt up to Class 4 though.
Ginzan 8/1. (Unplaced) A recent C&D winner (at the Class & Distance, on G-S). Form this season at 5f: 441161. Hasn’t won on Soft though.
Please DON’T have big bets just on my say so. A good day today yes, but tomorrow’s another day. Best regards.
