  • PRIDE OF AMERICA BIDS FOR ELUSIVE BLACK TYPE AT AYR

    PRIDE OF AMERICA, the stable’s flagship older horse, who won the historic and prestigious John Smith’s Cup at York in July, bids today to gain black type for the first time when competing in a Listed race over 1m2f, due off at 1.50pm. He has won seven races, six of them for Amy and has… Read more »

  • TARBAAN FLYING STABLE’S FLAG AT YARMOUTH

    TARBAAN is the stable’s sole flag-bearer at Yarmouth today (5.10pm) following Solario Racing’s withdrawal of Taritino on account of the ground. The going is Good to Soft, Good in places, which would not suit the Redcar winner, Taritino, so he waits for another day. However, Tarbaan has a sound each-way chance at around 8/1 in… Read more »

  • WOODY HOPING TO CAPITALISE ON LOW MARK

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS runs at Southwell today (2.05pm) in a mile handicap for 4yos and upwards and is running off his lowest ever handicap mark, an official rating of 68. Once rated 82 and a winner at Kempton last year off 72, there’s no doubt if he puts his best foot forward, he’s a well handicapped horse…. Read more »

  • SHARP DISTINCTION HAS TO DEFY WIDE DRAW

    SHARP DISTINCTION, a winner last time out at Yarmouth over 1m6f, steps back up to two miles at Kempton this afternoon (5pm) and again has a wide draw to defy. The 4yo son of Tamayuz has defied wide draws over course and distance twice before to be placed, so he’s used to having to cope… Read more »

  • WELL HANDICAPPED TARBAAN INTERESTING AT HQ

    TARBAAN is one of three stable runners today, when lining up for the 7.10 at Newmarket tonight, a 1m2f handicap and he’s below a winning mark, so could be interesting each-way under Kevin Stott at around 9/1. He’s slipped to his lowest ever mark of 74 and the reapplication of cheekpieces could help.  The one… Read more »

  • GROUND A CONCERN FOR TARITINO

    TARITINO’S form is all on fast ground and he’s not going to get that tonight at Newmarket in the 0-75 handicap over a mile (8pm). The step up in trip will help but any rain that comes will blunt his speed and at the very best, he’ll get just good ground.  He should still run… Read more »

  • SHARP DISTINCTION FAVOURITE AT YARMOUTH

    SHARP DISTINCTION, the bridesmaid on three occasions and also third in three other runs from 12 starts, has a lot in his favour at Yarmouth tomorrow (3.35pm) and maybe tomorrow is the day he gets his head in front. He ran a fine race at York when third under Tom Marquand, when probably not quite… Read more »

  • DANCINGINTHEWOODS EACH-WAY CHANCE AT LINGFIELD

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS, owned by Solario Racing (Ashridge) goes back to Lingfield today (2.20pm) over 7f in a 0-85 handicap for 4yos and upwards, exactly the same type of race as when he was third at the track last month at the Winter Millions Festival. He bumped into a very well handicapped All The King’s Men that… Read more »

  • ELLEN AND MAYFLOWER FAVOURITES AT KEMPTON

    ELEGANT ELLEN and Golden Mayflower have favourites’ chances at Kempton tonight in the 6pm and 7.30pm respectively. The former runs in a 12-runner 7f 0-50 Classified Stakes, having won over course and distance in a similar race 11 days ago.  The mount of 3lb claimer, Adam Farragher, she is not so well drawn on this occasion,… Read more »

  • PLENTY IN WOODY’S FAVOUR FOR BIG RUN

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS is one of eight runners today at Southwell over 7f (6.45pm) and the four-times previous winner has a lot going for him. He was second last time out over course and distance, just being collared by the very late finishing winner, Anif.  Up just a pound for that effort, “Woody” is still well handicapped… Read more »
