Racing finally resumes in Ireland on Saturday after the recent abandonments caused by the severe snow and frost. Naas get the ball rolling once again and feature a Listed Hurdle over 2m 3f and a decent little novice chase over 3m. On all known form Muirhead should be good enough to beat his rivals at [...]

It remains to be seen whether they re-schedule the re-schedule or not! In fact, Saturday’s card has been moved to Sunday so, with a literal following wind, the course may dry out sufficiently [...]
Continue reading …A packed punting programme yesterday, with loads of action from three all weather tracks. At the end of the day, we had turned a small loss from the day before into a small profit.

Continue reading …Firstly, an apology. Due to oversight on my part yesterday, I ommitted the Wolverhampton qualifiers from Monday. These have been added below, alongside Tuesday’s qualifiers. As you’ll see Tuesday was a good day, but Wolverhampton on Monday was a bit of a shocker. We’re currently showing at 2.706 points down, so still sailing around parity. [...]

Snow and ice has caused further Irish race fixtures to be canceled, with Punchestown and Leopardstown the latest victims of the unusually long cold snap. Leopardstown Racecourse general manager, Tom Burke, said: “We’ve held an inspection and we have decided to call off the meeting. We are looking into the possibility of rescheduling the card [...]

Yesterday’s results and the overall picture are thus: Date Time Cse Selection Liab Max Pos BSP P/L Cum Total 07-Jan 12:10 Sou Angle of Attack (IRE) 2 11 3 [...]
Continue reading …Still very early days for the Profit Rocket, but – that said – yesterday was a disappointment. Winners in five of the seven races meant a loss on the day of around five points. On the bright side, it was a fine exercise in understanding how well the ‘lay to liability’ approach, coupled with taking [...]
Continue reading …A somewhat muted start to the Profit Rocket trial, with around a half point loss recorded on the day. In truth, this has been something of the pattern for the last month or so, with small profits followed by equalizing losses. It is to be hoped that the Profit Rocket breaks free again in the [...]
Continue reading …The Christmas Racing programme in the Emerald Isle produced plenty of talking points and despite a few curve balls from the Arctic weather, the majority of The Festive racing thankfully remained un-affected. ST STEPHEN’S DAY – DEC 26th LEOPARDSTOWN A massive crowd made their way to the Foxrock venue to burn off the Yuletide excesses, [...]

The first of these is also the foremost, and the annual battle between the horses and horsemen from east and west of the Irish Sea is awaited like no other in our fine sport. The curtain raiser on Tuesday is the Supreme [...]

The Profit Rocket is a lay betting service which, despite the questionable name, has been performing with considerable merit since its inception in early October 2009. Indeed, in those three months, it’s shown an impressive profit of 126 points. That really is top drawer form, so let me tell you a little about the service. [...]

There is one exception however with Naas staging a very decent contest for 2 mile novices on Sunday. Although it does not hold graded or listed status the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice chase has attracted a [...]
