Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I’m delighted to report that Marten Julian, writer of the long-running and highly successful Dark Horses series (among many other things) has offered to sponsor this competition. they are going to put up a prize for both parts 1 and 2 of the competition.
The winner of part 1 will receive a copy of the 2021 Dark Horses Annual while the winner of part 2 will receive a copy of Marten’s Two Year Old Guide. If you don’t win it you can get £1 off by quoting RFORUM21 when you go to their website and buy it BUY IT HERE
The perfect companion for the 2021 Flat Season and for long-term reference.
Marten’s latest Dark Horses Guide is packed with insights and observations to guide you through the new Flat season.
The Dark Horses contains:The Premier List: Marten’s highly select choice of horses that he believes will pay to follow.
The Dark Horses: Marten’s contacts have guided him towards a handful of unraced and unexposed horses that have given their connections plenty of encouragement in work at home.
The Dark Handicappers: Marten has unearthed a few ‘projects’ that were campaigned as two-year-olds with a view to starting the new season from favourable marks.
The Classic Previews: Marten finds you some ante-post value for the first four Classics, fresh from his recommendation at 16/1 for Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle Preview of the Dark Horses Jumps Guide.Marten says:
“I am particularly pleased with the handicappers I have found for the forthcoming season. The usual trainers appear, but I have unearthed a handful of very unexposed horses from lower-profile yards that qualified for handicaps during the autumn and all-weather season. I am also excited with my news for some of the unraced qualifiers for the Dark Horses section.”
Cormack, that is a great prize for the winners.
Thanks for coordinating this and thanks to Marten for sponsoring this fun competition.
