Our first and only runners of the week this evening at Southwell.Olympicus in the 7pm & Howth at 8pm, both horses ridden by Luke Morris. Olympicus is talented but frustrating, we've also messed it up of late running on tracks that didn't suit. All should be good tonight, if Olly settles and gives himself a chance, he'd have an EW squeak for sure. Howth has been running very well over a bit f...

Nastasiya will have her final run of the season today at Kelso in the 4:25. This is a quick turnaround, Nat's ran at Perth last week but didn't get the trip of three miles, she weakened two out after moving nicely. The drop back in trip will suit, if the petrol tank has filled, Nastasiya will hold an EW chance.

Pisgah Pike runs for what is most likely the last time on a racecourse this afternoon at Market Rasen. Pikey runs in the big race at 4:35, The Prelude Hurdle. Pisgah Pike has been the most wonderful horse, won many races including the Listed Summer Hurdle for his owners. He's 9 now and done his bit. A smaller amount of runners than normal for this race, but it's still highly competitive. Market ...

Squeezebox runs at Haydock this afternoon in the 4:35. Conditions will be very hard work indeed, this race over 1m6f, will take some getting. Squeezy hasn't run over this trip before but stays 1m4f well whilst has form on soft ground. If he gets the extra two furlongs on heavy, we'll find out later today. Three of the horses in the race are proven over trip and ground. If Squeezebox handles eve...

We have two runners today at the opposite end of the country. First up is Olympicus who runs in the first race at Beverley with Fred Larsson in the saddle.If Olly settles and does everything right, he would have an EW chance in this race. However, Olympicus has his own ideas on racing and does it back to front, runs fast as he can at the start rather than the end!Top Speed runs over hurdles at F...

A busy start to the week with four runners! From memory, I think we've had this amount of runners just once before on a single day.Buxted Reel is our first runner at Worcester in the 3:20.Ted as we call him returns to jump racing after running well on the flat in his past three runs. It looks a race for second place, and hopefully Buxted Reel can finish in the top five. Light Dragoon goes next in...

We start the week with a trip to Newton Abbot. Top Speed takes his chance in the second race at 2:40.The entire meeting has cut up due to the heavy ground, huge amounts of rain hit the area. Just the three runners in our race. Speedy will be fine on the going, Magistrato less so if looking back through his form. The odds on jolly, Beat Box, should be fine, has form on soft ground. Beat Box will...

Squeezebox gave us and owners our second win of the week last night at Southwell.It was a lovely evening in the sun with 12 owners shouting Squeezy home. We move on to Lingfield today with Olympicus who runs in the first race at 4:15.Olly has been getting fitter slowly but surely, he's not an easy horse to get fit as pulls so hard at home, hence has to work on the sand only.The drop in trip shoul...

A super evening at Worcester last night, Pisgah Pike winning nicely and showing his class whilst carrying 12-2.We'll see what we do with Pikey, it might just be nice to bow out at the top. Newbury today with Bona Fortuna in the 5:55. This is a good race and wide open, Bono is two from two for us and been a great purchase. 16 runners, every horse will need that luck in running and the gaps to app...

Pisgah Pike runs at Worcester this evening in the 7:10. Pikey carries plenty of lead in the saddle with him 2lb above the grade, we didn't have many running options in the coming weeks, hence taking our chance. Pisgah Pike ran very well in the Summer Hurdle, he's not getting any younger and was done for a bit of speed at the business end after travelling like the best horse.The more galloping tr...

Nastasiya makes the journey to Stratford today and runs in the 4:22. A huge field where space will be hard to come by. Ground and trip should suit, whilst Nat's is in good form and will enjoy returning to hurdles. The race will take some winning, with a few horses supported in the betting. With luck in running, Nastasiya can hopefully pick up a bit of prize money.

Howth runs at Goodwood today in the 5:20, a decent race with nice money on offer. Having runners at Goodwood is always fun, a beautiful racecourse where owners are very well looked after. If the going was good, Howth would have had a nice EW chance in this race. It's a drop in class and the racecourse should suit.However, he's never run on soft ground before and with him being a big, heavy horse,...

Buxted Reel is having another run on the flat today, we don't have hurdle options at the moment, he's well and ready to go, so no point standing in his box. The extra furlong should suit, we'll need a little bit of luck from the draw, but touch wood Ted can run nicely.Up at Perth, Starlit Wave runs in the bumper.Starlit Wave was green as grass on debut, she's come forward a lot for that run, but ...

The next few weeks will be quiet with no NH racing, whilst most of our flat horses have just run.We will have a couple of runners this week, two horses that didn't get to run over hurdles, an outing on the level to keep them ticking over is taking place. Nastasiya has been ready to run for a while but was balloted out over hurdles. She'll have no problem back in a flat race, although it would hav...

Bona Fortuna made it two out of two for his owners at Windsor on Monday. Bona beat seasoned and battle hardened sprinters, it was an impressive performance, he's a smart young horse. Three runners today up and down the country. First up is Andromedas Kingdom, who is having a cracking season. It will be harder for her as she's got an extra 10lb on her back whilst doesn't have the soft ground she ...

Sea The Clouds was a game winner of the Cumbria Crystal Cup at Cartmel on Saturday. A valuable race worth £35,000. A super day was had, plenty of owners made the journey to pick up the prize and welcome Will and Clouds into the winner's enclosure. Sea The Clouds has been some horse for his owners, five wins, and seven seconds from 16 runs, with just shy of 50k won in prize money. Not bad f...
