on a confidence boosting mission today after two falls in four runs this
season, but his form when fourth in the Fred Winter at the festival is head and
shoulders above his opponents here. I assume a clear round will be his
priority, but with the booking of Jason Maguire he should have enough class to
win this at I expect him to start shorter than his current price</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Two lengths clear at the last and in command when coming down - Luck is really out at the moment) </span><o:p></o:p><br />

To say play would be an understatement as they were totally outclassed and being a neutral I could really appreciate the skill and class that some of the Utd players possess and why in the case of Robin van Persie £24m looks money well spent. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Yesterday on the racing front there was nothing strong enough for a bet. Today there is one meeting at Ayr and one horse of of interest but not an official bet as I believe the favourite will be difficult to beat.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Dual bumper winner who should have won on his novice hurdle debut when falling at second last. Outclassed at Cheltenham last time but didn't run as bad as finishing position would suggest. Trip may be a bit short today but can put jumping experience to good use, although I believe the favourite Halo Moon will be difficult to beat after turning over a well regarded sort from the Pipe stable on his debut. </span></span></div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6842970444120016065" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; position: relative; width: 668px;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Kent Street was a poor selection yesterday as after a mistake at the first he jumped with no fluency and it was only a matter of time before he fell or unseated, which he did at half way. I still think there is ability there and he may pop in at a big price over hurdles later in the season. Two meetings today at Newbury and Ludlow.</span></span><br />

T</span></span><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">he representative of Jonjo O’Neill, the trainer of MOONLIGHT DRIVE (IRE), which was pulled up, reported that the gelding was unsuited by the soft ground"). So one to keep a lookout for in the spring on better ground.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I believe Moonlight Drive is a much better horse than his current rating of 125 and the move from John Quinn to Jonjo O'Neill looks interesting. The horse clearly has significant potential being a point winner and on the form of his initial novice hurdle win, when he beat Trustan Times at Wetherby. Last season was a bit of a waste after a promising novice chase debut when partnered by AP Mcoy when usual jockey Dougie Costello was suspended, he reverted back to hurdles and was disappointing. This is a fairly competitive handicap chase and I think it is make or break day for Moonlight Drive to starting fulfilling the potential he undoubtedly has, by taking this before moving on to better things.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Two meetings today at Catterick and </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">probably</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;"> the final ever meeting at Folkestone and there is one selection at Catterick </span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Kent Street was the last selection posted on the blog and having been well back managed to unseat his rider at the 1st. He had been on my radar as a handicap chase project since the start of the season and after two </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">encouraging</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;"> runs at Carlisle I believed he had a really good chance last time. Today is a much more competitive race but provided his jumping holds up and I am taking this into consideration in the current price, I believe he has a great E/W chance based on his earlier runs. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">I can guarantee that my selection will not fall at the first as I've not got one!!!!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Deja Vu yesterday as Kent Street was nicely backed only to make a mistake and unseat Ryan Mania at the first fence to follow on from Brackloon High who did the same thing a couple of weeks ago to continue my run of bad luck. Over the last 30 years I've had runs of bad luck but this is different as it appears to have lasted for most of the year and have never had a consistent run of winners. I don't intend to change my selection criteria as I take comfort from previous years records that it will turn at some stage and the winners will flow on a regular basis again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">The meeting at Wincanton survives but there is no selection.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Moving onto today there are two meetings at Catterick and Hereford and there is one selection at Catterick.</span><br />
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2574119873003967310" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; position: relative; width: 668px;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Kent Street has been on my radar as a handicap chase project since the start of the season and after two encouaging runs at Carlisle I believe his chance comes today. His first run at Carlisle was very encouraging where he stayed on very well from 3 out in a competitive novice chase under hands and heels and the jockey received a ban for taking things too easy. His 2nd run was equally as good and he is now is dropped into handicap company. Despite running off top weight this is not a great race. My only concern is the step up to the extended 3 miles, but the way he was stayed on up the stiff Carlisle finish I doubt it should pose a problem.</span><br />

Today there are two meetings at Folkestone and Towcester and there is one selection at Towcester. </span><br />
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2574119873003967310" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; position: relative; width: 668px;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">Up To Something was a short price selection for the blog at the beginning of November when running terrible at Uttoxeter and being pulled up. It transpires he was a sick horse that day and the form of that race has probably some of the best novice hurdle form on offer so far this season with winner Coneygree subsequently winning impressively at Cheltenham and runner up Corrin Wood losing out by a neck to highly regarded </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Gevrey Chambertin</span></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;"> at Haydock last Friday and the third also winning. For Up To Something to be sent of at such a short price in a race of that quality shows the ability he obviously has and the current price of 11/4 look fair value against the odds on fav, to discover if his poor effort last time was a one off.</span><br />

There are 26 more day of racing planned for December and my target remains to achieve break-even in what is looking to be my worst ever year for gambling on the horses. It looks like the three meeting at Newbury, Newcastle and Towcester have survived and there are three selections.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A poor day. Managed to beat the SP in all races but that no good if the selections don't win.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Newbury 1.25 Global Power 1/2PT E/W@10/1various </span><span style="color: #274e13;">(Unplaced 8/1 look to be travelling well till 6 out but seemed one paced after that)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Oliver Sherwood stable are in tremendous form at the moment and Global Power runs in this competitive novices handicap chase off an attractive mark having according to the trainer been wrong all last season. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The trainer comments on his blog today "</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Global Power is in great form at home and will put up a bold show at a track that should suit. His jumping was good at Fontwell and that race has brought him on a lot physically and mentally. This looks a competitive race but he has a great ew chance".</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="color: red;">Towcester 2.10 Thomas Crapper 1PT WIN@3/1 Betfred </b><span style="color: #274e13;">(4th 15/8F never really got competitive very disappointing effort)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drop in class from his run behind The New One at Cheltenham last time, where he ran very much like a stayer, so this stiff track should suit. He sets the standard here having been fifth in the EBF final on his final run last season behind the highly regarded Ambion Wood.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="color: red;">Newcastle 2.20 Cinders and Ashes 1PT WIN Evs@William Hill </b><span style="color: #274e13;">( 2nd 10/11F never looked happy at any stage)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Winner of last seasons Supreme Novices hurdle at Cheltenham who acts well on heavy ground. This looks an ideal starting point for the season in a race the stable have won for the last couple of seasons with Peddlers Cross and Overturn.</span><br />

What I didn't expect was for him to be caught and passed by three horses and end up out of the places. Still racing goes on and there are two meetings today at Kempton and Ludlow with one selection at Kempton.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">A winner of the blog earlier in the year and went into the note book again last month when trying to make all at Haydock only to be passed and caught at the last. Was heavily eased on the run in and the handicapper has left him on the same mark. The form is strong with the winner of the Haydock race finishing 4th at Cheltenham next time and the runner up winning at Haydock on Saturday. Today's race does not look any strong than the Haydock race and with the application of blinkers for the first time he should go very close.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">I believe there is an element of luck in betting on National Hunt racing and usually I have found that my luck evens itself out over a season. However in 2012 this hasn't happened and yesterday again I experienced further bad luck with my selection Brackloon High, who was continually backed during the day going off the 9/2 2nd favourite falling at the first, having never fallen in his life before. Given that my luck doesn't appear to have evened itself outside during 2012 hopefully the things can only get better for 2013. Anyhow there are six weeks remaining of 2012 and racing goes on with two meetings tomorrow at Haydock and Ascot and one selection at Haydock.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Double Ross was a beaten blog selection in a novice chase over fences earlier in the season and I was at Cheltenham last weekend when he returned to hurdles and made all for a very impressive victory. He carries a 7lb penalty tomorrow but I doubt this will stop him given the manner of his victory last week and in particular his fast accurate jumping. I expect Double Ross to jump off and try and make all again tomorrow, however given my current luck I'm going each way as I am wary that there was over a furlong run in from the last to the finish line today and I'd hate to be caught on the run in.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Brackloon High looks well handicapped in this race based on his novice chasing form last season against what in the main looks an exposed set of handicappers. Ignoring his last two runs at Cheltenham and Aintree where he was probably out of his depth, he had a progressive profile and can hopefully build on that today. The main danger appears to be Loch Ba but he has been put up a stone for winning a moderate race at Kempton last time.</span></span><br />

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-368606728191217336" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; position: relative; width: 668px;">

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px;">Market Rasen 12.50 Red Jade </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">1PT WIN@6/5 William Hill.</span><span style="color: #274e13;">(3RD 5/4F very disappointing effort beaten over a mile from home)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">In my initial glance I thought why has Mrs K Burke booked Nick Scholfield to ride Red Jade in this claiming race, the horse is a class above these and would win easily at his best. A more detailed analysis has revealed that the trainer is now Kieran Burke and the new owner is non other than Anthony Knott of Hunt Ball fame who is known to like a tilt at the ring especially when his horse has stones in hand. Whilst I doubt Red Jade is a Hunt Ball I would think he will have enough in hand to win this.</span></span><br />
