morning team.... well the flags are being flown at half mast today...
one word on yesterday...CRAP! and that really is the end of it,ive
been scratching my head all night looking back on yesterdays results but sometimes horses make fools of us,it wasn't the first time it's happened & i'm sure it wont be the last,the fact that we've got a notebook horse running thats chucked in off bottom weight today has helped ease the blow!! so onto today's pearls of wisdom...
CASTILO DEL DIABLO 4.15 ASCOT
i keep hearing people saying "there's a group horse masquerading in a h'cap on saturday" well i agree...but it's not gospel choir,this son of teofilo comes here with just a maiden victory to his name but dont let that put you off as this beast will be powering on when others have cried more than enough,he has a stamina laden pedigree being by a giant's causeway mare & can grind these into submission today,he will get further than todays trip in time & could turn out to be a decent cup horse next season.so lets split his form down to the bare bones,that newmarket maiden is proving to be a very hot affair,throwing up some nice winners,that was his first try over 12f & he has a massive stride that just eats up the ground and the further he went the better he got that day,the runner up has since come out & won,the horse that was slammed 9L in fifth & also rec. 5lb finished fourth off 85 in a C2 h'cap prior to that & was eased when his chance had gone,back in sixth,beaten over 10L was the beast of sir henry's that came out & won on thursday slamming a 79 rated rival in the process...then back in seventh (hammered 10L+) was a sir michael stoute animal that has since come out & won his maiden rated 87 & none of these could even get close to our lad who to my amazement is absolutly thrown in here off 81 on his h'cap debut,ok its a massive step up in grade but as my late grandfather always used to say..."weight stops trains lad,so im damn sure it can stop a ruddy horse!" he was very green throughout at newmarket & pulled paul hanigan's arms out for the first 3 furlongs but still couldn't find any cover so to win how he did was even more impressive.i am taking this to eradicate yesterday's losses & get us back on track.
5pts. e/w @ 16/1
SMARTY SOCKS 3.45 ASCOT
last years winner comes here on the back of a very respectable fourth LTO in the city of york stakes,his h'cap mark took a battering after winning this last year & rocketed into the 100's meaning he was forced into a lot of conditions/listed races but still performed with distinction,most notably behind red jazz in a listed contest up at haydock but manages to slip back in here on his last winning mark of 95.he won a nice little conditions race up at york at the end of may which proves he still retains his ability at the age of eight & looks a solid e/w bet today.
4pts. e/w @ 10/1
1pt. e/w double
ok so thats a total of 20 pts. staked,lets see how we get on!! i thought i might take this opportunity to introduce myself to you a bit more,as at the minute im just a name on a piece of paper to many of you.as many of you may well have guessed my name's Ian Mallard & im a 38-y-o b/br gelding that lives in leicester.ive been interested in horse racing from a very young age & used to travel to the races with my late grandfather during my early days.i always knew what i wanted to do but had to raise the funds to do it as i come from a working class background.so at the age of 19 i started my own business "office care" was born.before i knew it i was getting more & more busy with work which was leaving me no time at all for my form study & frequently found myself studying form at 3.00am with a six o'clock start in the morning.owing to this i sold my controlling interest in the company back in 2002 to concentrate on my secondary income & it has blossomed ever since.i will continue with this as we go on but i dont want to bore you all at once!!! :-) once again many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & sharing my thoughts on the days racing & as always good luck with whatever you decide today.
