Weekend thoughts

Friday was the first real disappointing day since the blog started with just the one placed horse.Calgary bay the main selection on the day clearly needed the race and I'm still off the belief on his day he has a decent race in him again this season.swing bill ran respectably but just wasn't good enough in the end expect he may hit his level soon and probably wont be one to follow now.Scene two however may have small race in him if he can improve his hurdling a little more with racing.

On saturday I was impressed with how aiteen thirtythree won his race.The horse looks like he is crying out for fences and jumps very nicely,he seems to have grown up a bit over the summer and loos one to keep an eye on for the longterm.
2 i would be more interested in for the short term are oiseau de nuit and general ting who either due to lack of a recent run or being stepped up in trip just failed to see out there races both ran very similar races travelling very nicely before fading quickly and of there current marks have races in them.

Today was a bit frustrating with the mention winning and also heez  a cracker finally showing a little of his true potential in a weak novice hurdle for kempton the latter I had noted for a handicap or two this year so hopefully his will not effect his mark to much.General ting ran a solid race but was  just got caught out by a well handicapped tony martin type who was well backed all day.


Running total for October now +18.37 update in morning for plumpton

  1. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.
    I reckon that 3-mile chase on Friday will prove a decent formline, and the two 8yo's MIDNIGHT CHASE and OUZBECK are one's to follow.
    All the best.

  2. Midnight chase has been raised 9lbs for his victory I had that perfomance a bit higher than that so could still be off interest next time.Looks like him and ouzbeck who has been left on the same mark are going for the extended 3mile 3f race in novemeber.calgary bay dropped 3lbs which is a nice suprise.
