Morning, what a weekend huh? I don't think there is any doubt about it, that was my worst weekend ever tipping/betting. I actually left Newmarket with nothing but shrapnel in the pockets! Don't panic though it didn't all go to the bookies, the bars and foodstands got their fair share. Mrs B managed to back Izzi Top, my biggest mistake was my plan to dutch the Godolphin pair in the 500, in the paddock I favoured Kailani over Lacily, but on route to post Kailani travelled like a shit and even dumped Mickael off up the top, so Guy being a clever dick placed all his money on Lacily!!! It was a decent day out though, I enjoy the races. The only sour point was the loss of Gray Pearl, it became quite an eerie atmosphere. I saw Charles Hills and his wife shortly after the race, I didn't speak to them, they don't know me, they were discussing with another couple, I was eavesdropping. They were absolutely distraught, my greatest condolences go out to them. Anyway we have to move on. Before you stake too big today just remember the old adage that Bank Holiday racing is just Monday racing in a nice dress and heels. The card at the Curragh is nice. I won't wax into why I've chosen my selecs today as there are a lot, I might tweet a few if i have time, I probably will, the bookies aren't hugely busy on bank holidays, it looks pretty bright out today so the wives will probably wield the whips.
No TREBLE today.

Sunday 6th May - The 1000 Guineas
Well the colts served up a treat, now it's the turn of the fillies. I say a treat, it was an okay race, the one i'd take from the race would be Coupe De Ville who came home second of the far side group in 5th. Camelot just oozed winning, the trip didn't suit, the ground didn't suit, but Joseph timed his run perfectly and he showed his true credentials. He's no Frankel, but it will be the last time he races over a trip this short, so it was a good run.
Todays card at HQ is very open. I've had a look and I'll give you a brief insight into where my money is going and why. I shall be there today, if you want to come and say hello I'm 6'4", with jet black hair, tied in a ponytail, and either myself or my female companion will be pushing a pram. P.S mines an Adnams, cheers. lol.
NEWMARKET
205 QIPCO SUPPORTS BRITISH RACING HANDICAP
I'm just putting up one in the opener as an each way bet provided it stays in double figures. Sylvester Kirk's CHARLES CAMOIN. SK has his string in fine fettle at present and often pops up with one or two decent price winners at these big meetings. There may be one or two unexposed here but this chap is progressing, the only blip being last years King George V, where the ultra-impressive Brown Panther put the field to the sword. He's won from Sotf to Gd-Frm so whatever the ground does shouldn't cause an issue.
235 QATAR BLOODSTOCK DAHLIA STAKES (Group 3)
TIMEPIECE is the proven class in the race, last year I said I didn't think she was a Group 1 horse and she went and won 1 and shd 2nd another, so proved me wrong. She's won here, she's won on GS, she will handle the trip, and has to have a huge chance getting weight from the younger Gosden filly, who I make the danger.
315 QIPCO 1000 GUINEAS STAKES (Group 1)
Like yesterday Aidan O'Brien has a very strong favourite here. Maybe done absolutely nothing wrong last year. I wouldn't be a layer either, but for my pennies her price just doesn't appeal, Maybe-Timepiece double perhaps a little more. I'm having a go at an upset with the Godolphin filly LYRIC OF LIGHT. I feel she has much more to give this year and is only officially rated 4lb lower than Maybe with 2 fewer runs. Both horses are Group 1 winners, but LOL came here over this trip whereas Maybe was at home over 7. These are my reasonings for this. That and the fact that she is sired by a certain chap I have an affinity with. My other one is a bit more left field but if she runs a huge race she has a squeak. Mick Channon's LAUGH OUT LOUD, we don't really know too much as to how she will go here as she is 211 and all runs on the AW. But she is progressing at a rate of knots and looks a group horse in the making. Sky Bet and Ladbrokes go 50/1 and that is too big a price for me not to look at.
350 QATAR RACING HANDICAP
I've put 2 in here, Richard Fahey's ALBEN STAR, and Henry Candy's THE CONFESSOR. Hoping for a big run from each in what is a ridiculously open sprint handicap. Both will likely come late so hopefully I will be cheering them both in.
425 MAKFI FUTURE STARS MAIDEN STAKES
Not a race I'm getting too involved in until I've seen them, the benefit of getting off your backside and going to the races, but on paper I'm interested to see what KIMBERELLA can do. Full brother to a decent multiple black type horse.
500 PRETTY POLLY STAKES
Another pretty open race with some unexposed sorts. Both Godolphin entries are well bred and could well grab a 1-2, I'm siding with LACILY over KAILANI, but if they both look well I may indeed dutch them when the time calls for it.
535 AL RAYAN HANDICAP
I've picked out 2 here, obviously the favourite Samba King holds appeal having proven himself as very game recently, but I'm taking him on firstly with Andrew Balding's OPEN WATER, this is a big rise in class for him, but he was only beaten last time by one that looks a very smart prospect. Secondly I've gone for the inform Brian Meehan and his entry NELSON'S BAY. I think this one is a big price, the jockey may not be flavour of the month with some but he doesn't give the younger horses a hard time (well any for that matter) and they seem to respond to him sometimes.
Right enjoy those, here's the multis. No win lucky but i've done 2 each way ones for you .

Saturday 5th May - It's Guineas Weekend
There's going to be a few changes to the blog, basically it's going to be streamlined a little. I'm going to look at the best races each day, plus any alerts I have, some course specialists, and a look at the juvenile races. Essentially I'm dropping the class 5/6 races down the bog as they are using up a lot of my time. I have a very busy homelife, I work full time, my eldest child needs a lot of our time at the moment, plus the 2 others, I also have a training course that for one reason or another I'm too far behind and need to catch up. The weekend/festival blogs will remain pretty full as the racing is of a significantly improved standard. I shall try to maintain any multiples to the same stakes where applicable, but if i don't look at the volume of races required, it's not going to happen.
Right I'll start with HQ,
NEWMARKET
Houses the first classic of the season, I've looked at each race in turn and I'll run down my thoughts.
200 MAKFI SUFFOLK STAKES
My first choice in this is Roger Charlton's PROPONENT, young James Doyle has really grasped the opportunity that has been thrust upon him and he is riding out of his skin. Runner up in this last year, he went pretty well in a few races after without winning, before being put away for the winter. He hasn't really required a run in the past so I'd trust to give his running fresh and could well be a big player. I also like DANADANA, another who comes into the race fresh, he is less exposed than a lot of these. He won on his first start last year and could well be a horse to follow this season. Golden girl Hayley Turner gets the leg up from Luca Cumani.
As for staking, that's your perogative, I'll be backing both the same stake, good luck.
230 QATAR JOCKEY CLUB STAKES (Group 2)
I've sided with the french raider here MEANDRE, a good campaign last year, probably wasn't suited by the electric pace of the Arc. I've seen this chap possess an explosive finish so if he has it left at he end expect him to win going away. I'm unsure as to whether St Leger hero MASKED MARVEL will run as he wants the ground better ideally, and obviously multi-national scorer DUNADEN requires respect but it will be tough for him giving away weight with cut in the ground, in my opinion.
So just a bet on MEANDRE here.
310 QIPCO 2000 GUINEAS (Group 1)
You, me, my nan and Jim down the pub know that potentially CAMELOT is the best horse in the race. Is the trip too short? Will the ground suit? etc... In my opinion if you have any doubt at all you cannot be backing at 15/8 or shorter. I'm pretty well in Antepost on this race, one day I'll write a blog on how I put together my Antepost book, most bases covered at decent odds. My choice for this really hasn't changed since the 21st May last year. I watched POWER scrap to win a listed race over an unsuitably short distance, I saw in that race a horse that wanted further but looked willing to fight for his corner no matter, he is a winner, I backed him for the 2000 Guineas the next morning, at 25/1. I even advised, on this blog, on the 14th June the morning of the Coventry Stakes, to back him at that price before he went on to win said race later that day, which incidently he did. That Coventry Stakes was his best ride given by Ryan Moore, who I was very pleased to see booked on today. His defeats mean little to me, when chinned by La Collina, Seamie Heffernan put him in front far too early, and the Dewhurst he was done tactically, the winner grabbed the rail stuck his head down and went, Ryan found trouble in running and had to really search for a run, which cost him a couple lengths over the frantic 7f on the day. He has an extra furlong to protect the horse today. He's my winner ladies and gents. Being a Street Cry fanatic I've been following FENCING, it's a frustrating task as he always seems to get a problem when he's due to run. Word on the heath is that he has been working very well, but if I had a pound for every time I heard a Gosden horse was working well I wouldn't need to bet! I think he'll probably enjoy the extra 2 furlongs that his breeding suggests in the future but if he's well and runs, it appears the 2 cannot be exclusive, then he has a chance of a place at least. My best Antepost result, bar Power, is ABTAAL, but if it stopped that smug, cheese-eating, monkey climbing into the winners enclosure I'd be happy for the bookies to keep that cash, however it would take the sting off.
POWER to win, FENCING E/w.
345 PEARL BLOODSTOCK PALACE HOUSE STAKES
This is going to be an absolute dash. On paper the draw appears to be the low numbers, but we won't really know until we've seen a couple of races and where the ground is. On that basis I'm not going to go too much up a garden path here. I've backed INXILE, who is pretty prolific over the minimum trip, drawn low, and the ground won't hamper. SPIRIT QUARTZ is a horse I'm following but he's done his best work over 6 so I may just leave him today (I won't because I would probably self harm were he to win, but I'm just offering up doubts before you guys stick your mortgage on him), Last year I backed the winner of this, and the same trainer/jockey have one in here with a decent chance MOVE IN TIME. Drawn low, between some decent nags, has been generally consistent with results so I give him every chance of making the frame. 25/1 looks big.
INXILE and MOVE IN TIME same stakes E/w.
420 AL RAYAN HANDICAP
A tricky little race. I've picked out 3 at decent prices. I won't bore you too much but I'll just briefly explain why, I will be backing all 3, same small stakes, each way. TIOMAN LEGEND was the first that caught my eye, not really on form but on the jockey booking, Jamie Spencer, he is a wins when he wants kind of chap, he could be one of the best but has issues outside of racing that are his priority so we will necer really get to see him back to his very best, if you ask me. Anyway he caught my eye because he takes this ride from Roger Charlton and HRH Sultan Ahmad Shaw despite the fact that Fitri Hay has one entered in the race. Next up is FULBRIGHT, This one is actually pretty closely matched on form to stablemate ES QUE LOVE, going on last year, and ran well on final appearance. His stablemate has really trained on and if he has as well then 20/1 plays 6/1 looks pretty decent value to me. Finally I'LL BE GOOD. Trainer Robert Johnson doesn't have many winners but does have a pretty decent rate of making the frame. This Red Clubs Colt has run well on both turf starts this season and the eyecatching booking of wonderkid Mickael Barzalona, who rides the Rowley as well as anybody, suggests to me that you will get a run and maybe a place for your 28/1.
455 QATAR RACING NEWMARKET STAKES
With Swedish Sailor out of the race, it points towards NOBLE MISSION with a vengeance, this meeting was set alight last year by a certain animal named Frankel, who just so happens to be this fella's brother. He has looked like a proper horse in 2 starts so far, if not a little temperamental, his price is quite short but I'd be a backer provided it stays above 6/4 (2.5), one that catches my eye also is the newcomer MICHELANGELO, his full brother No Heretic put up a fight to some decent horses in first couple of starts and I think this one could announce himself here.
NOBLE MISSION to win, MICHELANGELO small stake win (7/1 isn't an ew price for me) and potentially one for the notebooks.
530 QIPCO SUPPORTS RACING WELFARE HANDICAP
HADAJ and FOURTH OF JUNE are on my alerts so will have a small interest, but no advice, REWARDED is unexposed and could go well, jockey puts me off a little, and DEVDAS catches my eye, I've been made aware that a lot of the Dylan Thomas progeny will train on, and this one put together some consistent results at the back end of last season.
Small win on REWARDED, equal unit EW on DEVDAS
(by equal unit, if you do £5 win on R, do £5 EW (10 total) on DEVDAS.
I'll give you the multi's, then a list of singles, and then we'll see what time we have left for some interesting ones but not advised bets.

HADAJ and FOURTH OF JUNE are on my alerts so will have a small interest, but no advice, REWARDED is unexposed and could go well, jockey puts me off a little, and DEVDAS catches my eye, I've been made aware that a lot of the Dylan Thomas progeny will train on, and this one put together some consistent results at the back end of last season.
Small win on REWARDED, equal unit EW on DEVDAS
(by equal unit, if you do £5 win on R, do £5 EW (10 total) on DEVDAS.
I'll give you the multi's, then a list of singles, and then we'll see what time we have left for some interesting ones but not advised bets.

Friday 4th May -
May the.... no I'm not going there. Well yesterday was a shocker, not quite as bad as I thought as when I checked my betting account I had retained 40% of my initial stakes for the day. Quickie today but I'll try to do slightly better ones tomorrow and Sunday.

She's a Street Cry filly so caught my attention and should handle these conditions, she wasn't fit to race last time out so that line can be ignored but reportedly working well, expect a rattle home and if she's close enough to strike then it's a big payday.

Thursday 3rd May -
Morning all, How are we? Woke up this morning and it was raining! I should just put that as the header of the blog, because it doesn't look like easing up anytime soon. Yesterday wasn't a disaster as the treble yielded 37pts return, but on a race by race basis, it was a losing day. It's going to happen more times than not, but as long as we keep getting the multiples up we'll stay ahead of the bookies.

Wednesday 2nd May -
A lovely start to the month, with decent profits on both Lucky's and an overall profit on race by race selections. Today looks a bit trickier as the ground begins to change back, we seem to have the Cheltenham Festival for Hunter Chasers tonight, and a decent Ascot card has been moved to the All Weather!
