Monday 3 August 2026 — Ripon The look back - Saligo Bay was our selection yesterday and finished eighth of the field at 10.1. The race went to Tiger at 3.3, and there was never a moment where our horse looked like being involved. First, the ground Ripon is officially
Yesterday Six bets, six losses, minus ten points. The worst day since we started publishing, and it gave back most of a profitable week. Gone By was the headline and the humiliation. We struck at 16.04 against a fair price of 6.17 — a 160% overlay, the largest figure
Saturday 1 August 2026 — Goodwood, Newmarket, Thirsk, Doncaster, Lingfield & Hamilton Yesterday Three bets, three losses, minus three points. There is no way to dress that up and no reason to try. Scoville was unplaced in the Golden Mile, where Archivist came from nowhere to win at 16/1. Innichen
Yesterday Three winners from six bets, and a day that turned on execution rather than selection. Enceladus took the Gordon Stakes, struck at 3.20 and returning 2.68. Supplicate justified the faith at Nottingham despite drifting all afternoon, returning 3.25. And Exclusive Code landed the closing handicap in
Still smiling about the Sussex We are allowed one paragraph of self-congratulation a year, and yesterday earned it. Bow Echo carried our maximum stake in the Sussex Stakes and delivered — though he made us work for it. He took a keen hold, got shuffled and denied a clear run

Glorious Goodwood begins with a superb eight-race card and, as ever at this unique venue, finding the best horse is only half the battle. Goodwood’s sharp turns, downhill sections and changing gradients can expose anything lacking balance or tactical speed. The straight-course races bring their own complications,
The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes has produced a genuinely international contest worthy of its £2 million prize fund. Defending champion Calandagan heads a field of nine on good-to-firm ground, with Japan represented by Masquerade Ball, while Aidan O’Brien launches a powerful four-horse challenge
On 6th July we added Misunderstood to the OutandOutStayer notebook. the message was deliberately cautious. He was not necessarily a horse who had to win immediately, but his profile suggested that he was beginning to find his feet for David O’Meara and could become well handicapped once everything clicked.
The horse we put up for the Race Preview yesterday, Jordan Electrics duly obliged at Ayr. As we had hoped, Paul Mulrennan got him out of the stall sharply and he was soon bowling along in front. The field came after him at the 2 f pole but he always
Glad to see that All Moonshine ,who we featured in our Racing Review did the business at Newbury last night. The price was a rewarding 4.1 as the money came for the King's horse Lightning Polka, who was backed into favouritism. All Moonshine, ridden by Jason Watson
