I don’t suppose there’s ever been a time when consistently beating the book has been easy, but nowadays with instant detailed form, video replays of every race, exchanges betting to practically zero percent, and a bigger percentage of favourites winning than ever before surely makes it as good a time as any to plunge onto one !!

The name of the jockey is Jacques ‘Jacko’ Doyasbere riding one of Monsieur Leon Volterra’s horses. Here’s another picture of him
Thanks to George Wheeler at Jockeypedia for supplying me the information and the scanned image above.No email last week but one yesterday informing ‘My notes/comments’ would not be available so if needed copy them.
I’d say that all winners had been ‘value’ in the betting beforehand. The skill comes in in spotting those likely winners.
Yesterday’s coverage was akin to Loose Women with a modicum of racing grudgingly thrown in !!
Going that day was officially ‘Good’, but I notice Timeform had it rated faster and deemed it ‘Good to Firm’
