The Cotswold Chase
Marten's Current Racing Diary | January 31st, 2017
Others have written with far more eloquence than I ever could about the tragic end to last weekend’s Cotswold Chase. All I will say is that the horse had shown signs of post-race stress on at least two other occasions … Read More »
Newcastle and Norwich worth modest investments
Ian Carnaby's Sports News | January 27th, 2017
It took Cardiff a long time to break down Burton last weekend but finally Rickie Lambert came on, hit the wall with his free-kick and the ball dropped invitingly for the only goal. It kept our splendid run going and … Read More »
Aso worth chancing off a higher mark
Ian Carnaby's Racing News | January 27th, 2017
Punters at Cheltenham on Saturday will have to put up with some pretty short prices in four of the races. I shall not dwell on their chances at odds-on but clearly Thistlecrack, Un De Sceaux and Unowhatimeanharry all have plenty … Read More »
Customer Service
Rebecca's Spotlight | January 24th, 2017
We don’t always get it right. We are human! However, I can assure you I hate it when we get it wrong. My worst situation is when we have got it wrong for a new client. They might not know … Read More »

Marten's Current Racing Diary | January 20th, 2017
It was fairly humdrum stiff today but we might have seen a good horse in the shape of Project Bluebook, who won the 0-135 handicap hurdle at Musselburgh. The son of Sinndar was a useful performer on the Flat, winning … Read More »
Cardiff’s Steady Improvement
Ian Carnaby's Sports News | January 20th, 2017
All bar one of the selections went in last week, with Bristol City paying us out twice, managing to score at home to Cardiff and then winning their FA Cup 3rd Round replay at Fleetwood. Preston stopped Brighton’s gallop, as … Read More »
Un De Sceaux is hard to oppose
Ian Carnaby's Racing News | January 20th, 2017

Houblon can go close
Ian Carnaby's Racing News | January 14th, 2017
This is one of those weekends when things have not worked out in that three of the four horses I was looking at will not be in action. Briefly, impressive Cheltenham winner Call To Order misses the Pertemps Qualifier at … Read More »

Fulham on the up at last
Ian Carnaby's Sports News | January 14th, 2017
There are some fascinating matches in the Premier League this weekend but they are very hard to call with betting in mind. For sure, Liverpool will have to play much better than they did at Southampton on Wednesday if they … Read More »
