Royal Ascot Day One - Irish 4 British 2 (Bookmakers 5 Punters 1).
As promised, a quick review of Ascot each day starts here with my thoughts on the first day. After eventually arriving (the traffic was the worst I have ever seen in all my years and it’s a train for me for the rest of the week), I arrived hot and bothered yet there was a strange atmosphere from before I even walked in to the course. The sad passing of Sir Henry Cecil has been covered by the acre elsewhere but that was the sombre feeling permeating the race goers though after an immaculately observed minutes silence the gloom sort of lifted and we all returned to “normal”? On to the racing and the betting sent out conflicting signals regarding the opener as Dubai World Cup winner Animal Kingdom drifted before heavy support forced him back to 5/4 at the off, while eventual winner Declaration Of War drifted all morning like a barge before late support saw his odds cut from 11/1 in a place to 15/2 when the gates opened. Personally, I would have been all over Elusive Kate at a double figure price but 8/1 was too short so I saved myself from a bullet there as she blew ...
Do Stewards care about punters, Sussex Stakes good thing, and how much is old age worth for Mac?
When the opportunity arises to stir up the proverbial hornets nest who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth, and this week we have the age discrimination case of a certain John McCririck, the marmite of racing broadcasters – you either love him or you hate him with absolutely no middle ground to speak of. Personally, as you can imagine I have run in to John in my work on a zillion occasions at most racecourses in the British Isles and away from the camera, I have found him personable and polite – though he does take his on screen persona with him when asking questions, as the more controversial the better, seems to be his family motto! As for his case against Channel 4 and Co regarding age discrimination, I can see his point but surely if a television show decide to revamp the format, or change presenters that is their entitlement? Put another way, I do not agree with change for change’s sake – but I do see the need for it now and then and although I am one of the few willing and even happy to laud him for his fights on behalf of ...
The best private handicap figures and advice, bar none.
At Post Racing we are constantly looking at how things can be improved to make sure our growing membership obtains pleasure and profits from their sports betting. Over the next two months we will be introducing you to two new football pundits, who will be doing their level best to inform and advise through both the Post Racing website and the new site currently being built, The Goal Posts. By joining us you not only get to enjoy your sports betting from a more profitable level but you also get to help us support the Bob Champion Cancer Trust and Greatwood Caring for Retired Racehorse, both of which have given us official fundraiser status, the IJF and Racing Welfare, 10% of all subscription fees being set aside for that charitable donation. Right now though it is all about horse racing, football taking a breather and those using our work for punting purposes are having a fantastic time of things. May, for those punting our top rated horse in each race, produced a profit of 67 points to a level stake play, to BFSP. Day one of June produced a 23 point profit to BFSP and below is what we produced yesterday. The figures yesterday ...

Below is the text of the Newsletter that has already gone out to our members this morning but we want to introduce you to what we do. Have a read, feel free to share this with friends and then join us. The picture (left), shows Post Racing members at a recent visit to the stables of David O'Meara, where we recently met to unveil the name of the new 500 Club filly, Marquesa Naranja (more about her below). A fantastic day was enjoyed by. What we are trying to do here is create something unique, that involves members going racing as owners for around £1 per day, whilst we strive to make sure the layers pay for their pleasure. Read on. If you like the sound of us, join us. For some time now I have been swimming against the tide that is "punting the top rated only", because that's just how I work. I produce the figures, then look inside my top six for the most likely winner given going conditions and that perceived draw bias I discover. In the month of May I did very well but I could have saved myself a lot of time by simply doing as many ...
Marquesa Naranja, the new 500 Club filly!
The overwhelming opinion is, she's gorgeous. Whatever she does on a racetrack (and it will 2014 before we see the best of her), MARQUESA NARANJA wowed her audience at the naming ceremony at David O'Meara's Helmsley Stables on Sunday, 19th May. We had received plenty of response to our invitation to join us there but even so, we headed over ourselves hoping as many as possible would turn up....not least because we had ordered refreshments based on at least 80 members arriving! It was around 10-15am when we ourselves got there and there had been some drama and that meant everyone on site was attending to the horse and jockey that had gone through a rail on the gallops. Quite right, too. Paul and I set about putting up Car Park signs because it's not the easiest place to spot as you wing up the narrow lane and Sat Nav tells you that you have arrived one entrance early. Job done by 10-30am, we then waited just seconds before the first of the visitors arrived. Come 10-45am and the convoy was coming slowly up the lane and I was reminded of that scene from the movie Field Of Dreams, when the baseball field ...
