Enjoy the festivities all!
 
Decent ew on Minella Daddy in the Ascot 3.00, 1 win and 2 seconds from 5 visits. Bombed out last time here when fav but doesn't go well fresh, looks to have been dismissed in this at 16's, that seems like good value to me.
 
Not feeling too confident today. ... L. 15. - 1. Shantung 1-00 hdk.
- 2. Sam spinner 2-25 asc.
- 3. Kimberlite candy 2-40 hdk.
- 4. jammin masters 3-00 asc.
 
Dear old Mick Fitz.
Re Might Bite.
He went through the King George from last year and the betfair chase and hand timed how long Might Bite and Thistelcrack spent in the air, and deduced it was 3/100ths of a second slower at Haydock for Might Bite.
He then calculated that equates to 3 seconds and 10 lengths ?

Now apart from it being hand timed and 3/100ths is probably less than the margin or error doing that.
It was also a different day and a different track and fences.
He can only compare the stats with one other horse (thistlecrack)
He also doesn't factor in how far the horse jumped in terms of ground going forward on each occasion.

Got to admire the effort but possibly one of the most pointless bits of research I've seen. And definitely wasted on ITV viewers.

Bless him. Made me chuckle anyway

Doing the rounds as a 'Tip' connections keen on brother to Malone Road SHAWS BRIDGE 8/1 the last @ Down Royal on boxing day.

Few quid ew

EDIT: Probably be shorter odds if like its brother and trained by GE!
 
I've gone ew on Coneygree, if he wasn't right I don't believe the Bradstocks would be running him, and from what I've seen this season I reckon he must be a player, 25's and bigger available seems massive.
 
If you don't already do it . Don't forget the ITV 7 , £100-000 up for grabs today and Free to enter.
 
Limerick 2.00
Jetz 7/1 could get the better of Getabird & Hardline. Reason??? The 2.4m could take a lot of getting today in that ground.
 
Interested in Tedham tomorrow 2.40 Wincanton - still a novice but in a handicap, up in trip (was a former point-to-pointer, so should help) and placed behind The Big Bite & Getaway Trump on his last 2 starts. Looks interesting!
 
Anyone got any fancies for tomorrow sandown ?

I fancy Henllan Harri to run a big race in the 3.0 for the Bowens, also interesting is Thistimenext year in the last, James Bowen has this one ride at the track, but an earlier booking at Wincanton.
 
Skybet are doing a promotion on how far Laurina wins by

The more people back it the shorter the distance become at odds of 6/4

Currently at 9+ lengths with 500 bets made, I’d expect it to get down to 7+ lengths(4,000 bets made)
 
Glen Rocco looks well handicapped at 2.40 kempton saturday, won’t be backing Apple shakira if she runs in 3.45 same card
 
At kempton tomorrow, had a strong run of attendance lately !

Picks whilst I’m there
Charparral Prince
Lomachenko
Mercian Prince
Charbel
Doux Pretender
Ballykan
Magic Dancer
