Today’s Ratings

Got a phone call from the roofing company just after 10-00am yesterday, advising one of the two man team they were sending to do the garage roof had Covid symptoms and so we have been put back to Wednesday. Not a hardship, just indicative of the times. Patience is required …

Can I apologise for the way your Newsletter formatted yesterday. My fault, I forgot to correct the size of the Podcast image and it threw everything out. That made for great viewing yesterday and the figures were extremely accurate….save for one race but that’s something that will happen from time …

No sooner had that first winner gone in at Ascot than a message from Sean landed, “….the first shock of the day”….and more followed. I think everyone that reads my stuff, or listens to the Podcasts, knows my opinion of betting on flat racing at this time of year. If …

A warm welcome to those new members that came on board yesterday….Clover Club, Site and Weekend Club….it’s getting busy now the NH season is nearly upon us. What I find every year is people joining us for the jumpers, or the flat, and then leaving once their own preferred season …

We had 17 members return yesterday as Weekend Club members and thank you very much indeed for coming back on board. It’s the OMM’s what did it! They are proving extremely successful and I’ve no doubt will continue to do so. What I would like to suggest is that everyone …

I am now leaving the flat racing behind for the purposes of Ratings, OMM’s, or anything else. Some of the results we witnessed at York defy belief, Newmarket was of a similar vein and you simply do not need to be throwing money at that stuff. It wasn’t just the …

Really enjoyed doing the Podcast yesterday. In a private chat off air Sean gave me a little food for thought regarding how I set things out for you and I agree 100% that the Newsletters look “busy”. I know some of you read everything (I have a collection of lovely …
