Today’s principal meeting is at Fakenham, a town I used to live in and a track I visited frequently during the 90s.
But I cannot find a race at the meeting which warrants selection, the fields are too small.
Here are the 5 I have selected:
Southwell 12.45 Brave Helios
Lingfield 12.55 Muqaatil
Lingfield 1.25 Rigoletto
Lingfield 1.55 Baddilini
Lingfield 2.25 Lava Light
Have fun!

[Ian Bass]

My 5 to Place today are:
Musselburgh 12.50 Donnas Pride
Plumpton 1.05 Sunday Royal
Plumpton 2.10 Sudden Wish
Plumpton 3.10 Come On Ginger
Plumpton 3.40 I’m Still Waiting

[Ian Bass]

Thanks, Paul
We treat all of you as our extended family, so good to have you around

[Ian Bass]

Difficult, but I have found a few for a Place:
Lingfield 12.50 Lord Of The Land
Wetherby 1.30 Patsys Castle
Wetherby 2.05 Shadows Lengthen
Lingfield 2.35 La Fortuna
Lingfield 3.10 Lady Lunchalotand even a couple for this evening:

Wolverhampton 8.15 Secret Lightning
Wolverhampton 8.45 Spirit Of Gondree

I think we’ll prosper with these, but Cheltenham is just a good watch on tele today.

[Ian Bass]

Long day yesterday. Not home until almost 4pm.
Upshot is that tabs haven’t had time yet to show any improvement, so we return in February for more in-depth analysis.
Meantime wife has lost all power in right arm, it hangs like heavy pendulum and is pretty painful by all accounts.
Festive season put on partial hold, we shall spend time quietly, family will pop in when possible but we shall not be partying this year.
However, the horse-racing fraternity (you lot!) will keep us in touch and happy.
Selections later.

[Ian Bass]

Thanks to all for your good wishes for today.
Not looking forward to it but you will help to keep both of us cheerful.
Let you know the outcome when I can

[Ian Bass]

Another ‘mixed bag’ for my Place selections
Southwell 12.25 Niqnaaqpaadiwaaq
Towcester 12.45 Double Court
Southwell 12.55 Stun Gun
Ludlow 14.05 Norse Light
Ludlow 15.05 Big Casino
As I stop at winner or four losers I am only putting up 5 selections, just one extra in case of odds changing and selection not being applicable as happened yesterday with Mighty Leader.
Probably won’t get to select any tomorrow as wife has first Oncology Dept appt at 10.30. No telling how long we will be there.
Will post if poss.

[Ian Bass]

Today my Place System should be at Bangor, but again I have incorporated other tracks to find larger fields.
And again, take 4 places where prices allow.

Bangor 12.50 Kings Cross
Ayr 1.10 Starplex
Exeter 1.30 Mighty Leader
Bangor 1.50 Ballykan
Ayr 2.15 Rolling Thunder
Bangor 2.25 Chilli Romance
Ayr 2.50 Thorpe

Trump success in U.S. compares similarly to Brexit in Britain. The rest of the world will have to adapt to countries who want to be responsible for their own decisions. There will be others!

[Ian Bass]

Here are my selections for Place System, confidence not overly high.
Get 4 places where you can
Lingfield 12.50 Pampanini
Sedgefield 1.35 Ascot De Bruyere
Sedgefield 2.40 Blakemount
Huntingdon 3.20 John Biscuit
Sedgefield 3.45 Theatrebar
Huntingdon 3.55 Guiding Stars
Newcastle 5.45 Green Howard
Good Luck!

[Ian Bass]

Poor numbers again today, Place System should be at Huntingdon today but I will be combining meetings to get enough reasonable bets.
Yesterday, at Newcastle, I got out of it more by luck than judgement. Following 3 losers, I decided not to back the un-raced Vision Of Beauty but then backed Bowerman in the next (2nd by a head, beating 3rd by a short-head) to get me out of trouble. I am not certain to indulge today, but but will let you know later

[Ian Bass]

My Place System selections today are at Newcastle where we will at least get 3 places in most of the races:
2.10 Flame Of Hope
2.40 Torremar
3.15 Street Artist
3.50 Vision Of Beauty
4.20 Bowerman
4.50 Table Manners
5.20 Penny Dreadful
5.50 Clubland
I might leave out the 2 small-field races, if we get that far
