This race is a Derby trial in name only as the last horse to take this and win the Classic was High Rise back in 1998 and a lot of horses have tried. Just five go to post which is disgraceful given there is £56k on offer. 4.00 Lingfield: Betfred Derby Trial Stakes (Listed … Continue reading

Betfred Mobile Oaks Trial Fillies’ Stakes

Posted by Paul Moon in Blog | Tagged , , , , , , | Leave a comment

Our ratings tell us this is a two-horse race between the Aidan O’Brien-trained Seventh Heaven and the Ralph Beckett-trained Mountain Bell though all six fillies in the race are unexposed. The latter has to cope with the drying ground (both her starts came on soft). The form of her wide-margin maiden success gives her … Continue reading

The Racing Horse believes the super-competitive Victoria Cup at Ascot is not a race to bet in but for those who do we offer our trends. There are 29 runners competing but there are some key stats that have relevance. For example 12 of the last 13 winners had raced in the last 5 … Continue reading

The powerful Aidan O’Brien camp have been unable to dominate the 1,000 Guineas as per the 2,000 with just two wins but today try to land their third with Minding. This classy filly rounded-off last season with an very eye-catching win in the Group One Dubai Fillies’ Mile over this course and distance, and … Continue reading

The return of Jack Hobbs

Simple Verse and Star Storm made huge improvement in the second half of last season but they need to make another surge forward to deny Jack Hobbs. If he returns anywhere near the best form he showed as a 3yo he wins as he is the clear form pick here. The consensus is that … Continue reading

The Racing Horse thought that Paul Nicholls had no chance wrestling the trainers’ title back from Willie Mullins after the Cheltenham Festival but he has been like a man possessed and the horses have responded! With just 22 days of April completed he has recorded 26 winners for the month so far from 98 … Continue reading

Selections for the Pacafi100 – 19th April 2016 Timeform Introductory made an encouraging start to her career when runner-up over C&D earlier in the month and this looks an ideal opportunity for her to strike at the second time of asking. Stablemate Kelvin Hall could be the one to follow her home. Sets the … Continue reading

Selections for the Pacafi100 – 18th April 2016 Timeform This looks ripe for Ryedale Racer, who had the race in safe-keeping when unshipping Brian Hughes 2 out at Sedgefield last month. He contested a competitive handicap there next time and will take plenty of stopping in this company. Clear next best is Conquer Gold, … Continue reading

Selections for the Pacafi100 – 17th April 2016 More news later but… William Haggas absolved Pat Cosgrave from any blame for the performance of Besharah yesterday. The fact that he absolved him from blame was significant. He said some time after the race: “It wasn’t the jockey’s fault that they got so far back … Continue reading

Selections for the Pacafi100 – 16th April 2016 Timeform Besharah was one of the leading 2-y-o fillies last season and she’s likely to take the beating. Marenko should have a good season judging by her winning return at Kempton, while impressive maiden winner Aljazzi is potentially a big improver. William Haggas genuinely pleased about … Continue reading
