Another fantastic winner for Keith yesterday can he make it 3 in a row?

TRIANGLE KYLIE 8.26 pete

25th November

A mixed day yesterday - Nicky Henderson must have thought he had 5 bankers yesterday only for them all to come up woefully short. Clear rating picks they all wilted very tamely and you have to question whether he has them fit enough. Very poor and it will be interesting to see his reaction in the coming days/weeks. Our BBOTD was trading at ridiculously small odds in running and everyone, 2 out, believed it would win as it was cantering shoulder to shoulder with the leader. What happened after that??? Jockey asked the question and the horse stopped! This is a horse that won by over 19 lengths 7 days ago with its head in its chest. Only up 7lb in a race with no more depth that the last one. Very frustrating as to me it was a clear best bet pick. Most if not all the racing fraternity agreed. The horse however had other ideas!

Today we have 3 meetings and generally some poor racing in store - Tuesdays is fast becoming a no mark day in the Racing calendar. Shame!

Not one of our better days yesterday. After decent winners on Saturday the ground perhaps caught up on us. Going was really bad and when you see 2nd Rated American Life beating our 1st rated by over 22 lengths you know its ground related / fitness of horse. Sometimes I dispair when trainers still run horses even though they know they've no hope of winning on that going. Hey ho. 3 meetings to concentrate on today.

20th November

A much better day all round for the Ratings on what looked on paper a tricky day. Frankly James Doyle should never ride for connections again on Captain Cat. Unless his instructions were to lose, he gave that a shocking ride - I am not one for bemoaning a ride etc, but i watched that yesterday with mouth wide open. Terrible and gave the horse absolutely no chance of winning. Its no good kicking on and grabbing 4th - he needed to have been far better placed in the race and rode a shocker.

Upside, we again smashed out of the park our rivals, speedratings. I dont have time to proof all my ratings to their proofing people but sometimes I wish i did. Their outlandish claims wind me up when every time i get to compare our results we've always had far more winner/placed selections than them. Anyone want to volunteer to send the selections to a proofing site get in touch! 🙂

BBOTD failed to pick up when asked to go win the race and perhaps needs a longer trip to show his best - it was disappointing given he had shown good form in his 2 previous races and was expected (on the figs) to win yesterday. If you watched the Miles to Memphis race, you'll have pulled your hair out when the jockey gave the selection no ride at all. The excuse was the going, but even allowing for that, the horse that beat it (20/1 shot) had on figures over 20 lengths to find with our selection. What a crock of "^$* !!!! Drives me mad when these things happen. Jockey should have just pushed on from the off and put the race to bed with 4 furlongs to travel......2/11 shots that get beat like that......Stewards really need to take a hand in such outcomes and examine it. Grrr (Rant over)!

3.00 Blue Sea of Ibrox / Cash For Steel

3.30 Corobello / Dynamic Idol *Full ov beans is a course specialist and 3rd rated, but may run above the figures given liking for the Course - small ew dabble is a consideration.

BBOTD: 3.20 Doncaster - Monksgold 9/4 generally. Has Cloud Keeper to beat on the ratings and should be a good race, but Monksgold is open to any amount of improvement now handicapping and is taken to prove the ratings right with a win.

It was a story of what might have been yesterday as our unofficial and official BBOTD all finished second. I had a wry smile as both "good things" lost to 25/1 shots! You just couldnt make that stuff up. We were thereabouts in most of the races. Today the weather is truly horrendous and I suspect there will be going changes and a real slog in the mud at the jump meetings - Caution advised!!

BBOTD: 2.15 Newcastle - Maggie Blue - facile win last time - up 8lb but riders claim offsets most of that - looks still very much well in and if ready to go after last race (2 days ago) should take all the beating here. Frankly, the selection needs to underperform and the nearest rivals to outperform to beat the selection.

No HOT PICKS or VALUE SELECTIONS today. I remain concerned over worsening ground at the jumps meetings and there are no real stand out selections at the AW meetings - not enough for me to put them up as HP or Values.

We certainly had a Remembrance Day to remember. At least one member did who sent me an email expressing his thanks following his win of over £7400! Congratulations to him and to several other members who all emailed me to say they'd won a tidy sum using the ratings. The BBOTD double (whilst short odds) romped home and we were 100% from the Hot Picks and 3 winners from 3 on SAW. I wish every day was like yesterday for the Ratings as no doubt members do too, but it is proof that over the long term, the Ratings can turn in a profit. We like every service suffer the odd blip or bad day in the office - but generally over time, being methodical and not over betting, will produce a profit. My most satisfying moment of the day was Northside Prince (2nd rated) following home our 1st rated at odds of 20/1 - much much bigger on the Exchanges. When you get a 1-2 like that, it warms my cockles and is a clear demonstration of how potent the Ratings can be at times. (12.50 Sedgefild)

It was nice to get the 11/1 (15/2sp) winner of the big race of the final day of the flat season with Open Eagle making a mockery of his 4lb penalty by hosing up by over 12 lengths.

BBOTD: 2.15 Black River - 13/8 - Drops massively in class but very long time away from the track and Nicholls runners often benefit from a run, but best figures in this race and with Crazy Jack a non runner, looks a good opportunity to bag a win and push on for the season.

Hot Picks had 3 winners from 5 yesterday including a tasty 5/1 shot, BBOTD was a shocker - Ridden out the back for most of the race (strange tactics), hampered by a faller and never really in the race until the last fence when he looked to be going best but was too far away to mount a challenge. I like Nick Schofield, but i was perplexed with the ride if Im honest - certainly not ridden in the same manner as when he won last time out. Condolences go out to the connections of the horse that died at Wolverhampton last night. Terrible accident and shows us that even flat races can produce fallers and sadly, fatalities too. Poor weather today, caution advised when and if going changes.

Trappy contest and Nicholls runner would have been more attractive if not for the fact that this early season 99% of his runners have needed their first run. Been off for over 500 days and never raced over distance. That puts him lower rated than this selection. Its out of the two, but I think TB edges this contest if avoiding coming to grief and jumping badly.

3.45 Many Clouds / Eduard

4.15 Micklegate Run / Emrys

BBOTD: Clearly Paul Nicholls hasn't got his main hopes as far forward as he alluded to given the poor show by our BBOTD yesterday. Looked unfit! Typical Nicholls. He seems to be getting slower and slower at getting his mob ready for the start of the season. Today: the best bet is a 4/11 shot - Ordo Ab Chao, but we'll go for:

1.00 Carlise - Bandit Country - 11/8 generally.

Another easy BBOTD winner and we're in fine form with our best bet - skinny odds but a facile winner and no dramas! Super Saturday rolls around. Some fantastic racing today but a note of caution. IT will be interesting to see how forward some of the big boys are today. Remember some make their seasonal debuts today and also some have one eye on the bigger prizes later in the season, so best rated selections DONT necessarily mean winner. EG- It will be interesting to see how Paul Nicholls Silviniaco Conti fares. Best rated in the race but is he as forward as we hope? Time will tell!
