Last Friday’s missive worked out well with The Tin Man winning the Sprint on Champions Day at Ascot. As I mentioned to you, James Fanshawe has a very good record in top Ascot sprints and The Tin Man, a half-brother … Read More »

The Cashel Man did us a good turn in the Cesarewitch, finishing a good fourth at 9/1. He was certainly available at bigger prices during the week, when it would not have been hard to find some 16/1. Incidentally, I … Read More »

Last weekend worked out well enough with Quest For More winning the Prix du Cadran at Chantilly, though it would have been even better, had Pixeleen managed to poke her nose in front at Newmarket. She is a luckless filly, … Read More »

Sometimes you have to be grateful for a minor placing, especially when the price drifts out to 14/1. Third Time Lucky paid for all other investments last Saturday, though I think he is better than that and would have gone … Read More »

It was a splendid day for the line on Friday with Quest For More, Nemoralia and Babyfact all going in. They were horses we’d waited for and everything worked out well, though it was important to be up and about … Read More »

We are away in Canada at present but I monitor the racing on a daily basis and things have gone well enough on the line, with Roger Charlton’s Paling a very safe favourite at Leicester on Sunday. I don’t know … Read More »

The line has been in good form of late and Frankie Dettori kept things going with an 11/4 winner for Don Cantillon at Newmarket on Friday evening. I was a little disappointed that Thesme did not feature among the final … Read More »
