Hairy Furred
Wednesday, dear reader, is half way to Friday... And it's been a pretty quiet week on the racing front really.
I managed to put up a couple of nice winners here yesterday (Lovelace, 9/2; Felinious, 2/1), got touched off with War Of The Roses at 12/1 (2nd), and laid the living daylights out of Prince Valentine (3rd and now 0 from 8 in Class 7 races and still hasn't won on the all weather, 9/4F).
Today, racing is at York, Kempton, Lingfield (for the third day in a row!), and Hereford.
I like the look of a couple at Hereford, one of which is the TTS runner today, whose name shall go unspoken.
The other features on the TTS 'undercard' (i.e. the appendix list of the 142 trainers with strong records but who didn't quite make the main guide). This horse is trained by Seamus (J W) Mullins, and is Terrible Tenant, in the handicap chase at 3.55.
'Yer man' Seamus has had 7 winners from 19 runners with his older horses (7yo+) here, when they've been 14/1 or shorter in the market (as all TTS runners must be), and in races between September and April (the TTS season).
I like the TT to take the chequered flag today... (never mind Terrible Tenant, that was a Terrible Pun!)
Get hold of TTS now, with special offers all over the place, by clicking here.
Elsewhere, at Kempton tonight, Raise The Goblet (8.50) looks an each way bet to nothing to beat the favourite, who has it to prove on the polytrack surface in my opinion. Care with non-runners however, as there is currently a 'dead 8' for this. One out, and we'll lose an each way place.
Glencal look solid in the 3.45 at Lingfield, with second favourite Shaded Edge, drawn in the car park (14).
But the best race of the day is the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York, where Echo Of Light will be a warm order under Frankie Dettori. Connections won the race last year with the same horse, and he takes on 2005 winner Mullins Bay again.
Given that nine of the last ten runnings of the race have been won by 3 or 4yo's, I'll swerve them both in search of some value.
Nothing bigger than 8/1 has won in the last decade and, indeed, the second longest price was just 11/2, so don't be expecting too much of a shock.
Just using those stats makes it a two horse race between Royal Oath and Formal Decree. But the somewhat specialist trip of nine furlongs swings my view strongly in favour of Formal Decree, who followed up a win in the Cambridgeshire over the same distance, with two more nine furlong wins in Dubai.
He looks good value at a best priced 9/2, and will not want for effort from the saddle with Kerrin McEvoy booked.
G'luck!
