Might lay Rainbow Zest in the 5:30 haydock as he was probably flattered by his last placed effort. Main rivals are Uno who may like the heavy ground & the lightly raced Tipsy me & Brocatello who are both bred by horses who liked the soft. My only worry is that Rainbows trainer is in great form – also Rainbow is bred to stay longer distances and the heavy ground may bring his stamina into play.
Jeremy Noseda is still bullish about Sixties chance but there’s no doubt that the stable are not in good form :( and I wouldn’t back him at the present price even if he is the best horse on form. I don’t see the value in it.
Absolution – thanks for the welcome. I do my own selections at Golf & I’ve been very lucky at it :) . I don’t follow tipsters but I’ve heard that some of them are quite good. It’s surprising how short some odds get on Betfair for players who rarely or have never won tournaments & it’s a good opportunity to bet against them. Horse racing is much more interesting and exciting though and is my main love in sport.
Thanks for the welcome.<br>Insomniac – I assume that watching golf helps you go to sleep then! Golf is ok for betting purposes but I agree with your view of F1.
Matron – You’re so right about people growing old gracefully but I sometimes wish that I had enough hair to dye.
Thanks for the welcome.<br>lollys mate — I think that a lot of people are underestimating the USA team in the Ryder cup. Tom Lehman is going to be a good captain imo ( he won’t put Tiger and Phil together, that’s for sure! ) and I’m not too confident about how some of the European team will handle the pressure. Tiger is in awesome form & will be an inspiration to the USA team.<br>What do you think?
The reason that many people find AW racing boring as a spectacle might be because it does not look natural for horses to be running on sand. I remember watching a camel race run on grass and thought how strange it looked! Maybe the same thing applies to horses running on sand?<br>I’ve heard people state that every race on the all weather looks the same and when they watch AW racing , it seems like they are watching the same race over and over again.<br>I’m not too concerned about the low standard of races on AW tracks because the same happens at turf tracks. I enjoy betting on AW in the winter but I just hope that it is left as it is – no more summer fixtures, no more AW tracks as we have enough and please Newbury- don’t build one and ruin your wonderful racecourse.  <br> ÂÂÂ

Fancy a small each way on Lucayan Dancer today in the 3:50 at Southwell. Surprised the odd’s are as big as 16’s. Ground has dried out which will be against a few of his rivals. Lucayan disappointed last time but the Beverley course may have been against him. Main danger could be from lightly raced Sanchi from a yard in top form.
Jim JTS  —  All weather racing is ok in the winter months and not many racegoers object to it as it provides an alternative when N/Hunt meetings are postponed. I find the form works out excellently in Jan/Feb because the same horses are running at the same courses a lot of the time. the problem is with all weather racing being used as a substitute to turf racing in the summer. I don’t see the need for so much of it or that it’s any better. Why have group races or classic trials on this surface. I also think that the majority of racegoers find it boring to watch as a spectacle.
