Hello everyone and welcome back to another installment of my horseracing blogg, lets face it its been a while! As I'm very much looking forward to the start of the Ebor meeting at York I just couldnt wait another day to post my selections. All being well they will all go to post!
Here we go and remember please read its all about opinions, any comments would be greatly appreciated on this page, why not have your say!
York
2.00pm 5f 89y Handicap
The previous two winners of this race came from high draw numbers and last years winner Hamish McGonagall came down the middle but slightly more towards the stand side and I believe that this could happen again. However, I'm a firm believer in taking into account trainers that have done well at this track and with the inclusion of form and handicap marks I believe that Richard Fahey's runners cannot be dismissed and will certainly figure here, a trainer with a fantastic track record and a trainer in form and I believe IRISH HEARTBEAT has a great chance here ran a blinder last time out at Doncaster will enjoy the trip and ground and has a nice draw in 13. My other more interesting runner for me who I believe will run a huge race is the Ed Dunlop gelding KANAF when you look at the form its 5th at Goodwood against hoof it last time out was a very commendable performance in a big field. If you then go back in its form you can see that this horse can act on a softer surface and looks a good each way price. A tricky contest all the same.
2.30pm 7f (Group 3)
Only limited form to go on and it really is a question here of who is the most progressive from there racecourse experience. Not an easy race as some may of progressed by quite a bit. So as its early in the week and if the ground drys up I'll be having the Barry Hill trained BALTY BOYS looks progressive and I was blown away by its last race at Newbury winning by 4 and half lengths and a beautifully bred Cape Cross colt whenever I say that name I always think of the phenomenal Sea the Stars. Drier ground this is definitely the one to be on. If its the softer side of good the man from Ireland AP O'Brien is definitely the man to turn too and I'll be backing his son on FURNERS GREEN to be there or there abouts at a nice each way price hopefully.
3.05 The Great Voltigeur 1m 4f.
Strongly fancy NAMIBIAN here, this horse has progressed throughout this season and I was impressed by it win in the Gordons Stakes at Goodwood. York is certainly a track that can suit prominent runners like this Cape Cross gelding and I've also be very impressed by the jockey Silvestre De Sousa this season who gave this horse a great ride last time out. Mark Johnston always produces battling horses particularly in the finish and this horse is the one to be on.
3.40 Juddmonte International Stakes1m 2f 88ys
When the boys meet the girls in a competitive contest in any job, sport or even argument its always a bad idea to undermind the intelligence, strength and determination from the females. I'm going to select a strong filly here and one I hae backed before. MIDDAY here is a filly that will make the colts quiver (a little at least) Midday loves this track at York and has one on her last previous start there. Another important point is ground Midday can run on all surfaces, preferably with cut but not essential. I'd also love a win for Ian Mongan who in my opinion is a very underrated jockey. Of course you can make cases for Await the Dawn who is potentially a superstar and Twice Over the stablemate of Midday but she is an out and out stayer and my selection again running for the genius Sir Henry!
4.15 2 yo Nusery 6f
NEARLY A GIFT as previously mentioned trainers that do well at this track is always a stat worth following and that can be said of Tim Easterby a very good strike rate at York and I'm confident this horse can get the ball rolling. I progressive two year old who has ran very well in its last two starts just headed in the furlong last time out and hung a little. If this horse can learn from that then this bay filly will certainly have a chance again at an each way squeak.
