  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 14/01/21

  

  It is every bit as busy as a Saturday today and I’ll keep the waffle to a minimum. I gave myself a bit of stick for my decision making a few days back but yesterday I patted myself on the back….that really is how this game works. On TWOS I …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 13/01/21

  

  The Ratings were again extremely accurate again yesterday and whilst I didn’t manage to find us the winner of the 3-10pm, which was winning for the first time since April 2018, I feel we are making a lot out of very little right now. What pleased me most was that …

  Post Racing has purchased a share in a terrific looking son of Walk In The Park out of that superb mare Highland Retreat. Like Highland Retreat, WALK ON HIGH, as our horse has been named, will be trained by Harry Fry. Our plan now is to raise funding for charities, …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 12/01/21

  

  The figures for that one rated race yesterday were spot on but my decision making (see TWOS), was woeful! I’ll say no more. On the plus side my decision making at Hereford was spot on so I’ll not be overly harsh on myself. You really do need to visit that …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 11/01/21

  

  Once they finally got a result from all those inspections yesterday and I’d counted up 18 non-runners across the first five races, including horses in my top two in both races, I just turned the page and binned the lot. Today I’m concentrating purely and simply on Doncaster and we …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 10/01/21

  

  Exeter suggested they had passed an inspection yesterday afternoon, advised of another at 8-00am this morning but now say they need to look again at 10-00am. Obviously I cannot wait all day to finalise my figures for that track and so below we have two rated races, a host of …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 09/01/21

  

  I have a “situation”. My intention had been to get up this morning and produce figures for all three meetings but I’m finding I cannot do that, due to inspections still to be carried out and horses engaged to race at multiple meetings. What I have done, therefore, is produce …

  It’s on…it’s off…no, wait a minute, it might be on….or off?

  

  Who knows what will happen with the new planned inspections tomorrow but Ron and Sean have given it a shot, produced something from nothing and we’ll see if they can perform alchemy!

  Cheltenham or Bust 06/01/21

  

  The major novice events look all the more interesting following on from the results from the Christmas period and Ron and Sean have differing ideas on where to look for your potential ante-post plays. Also….what would you do? You have the potential for a win that could see you retire …

  Today’s Ratings and OMM’s 04/01/21

  

  I had a good day, yesterday. Very productive. After getting the tree down and everything back in the loft, Karen and I went for a very bracing walk along the prom with the dogs (that chill coming off the sea makes you get a move on!), and we were back …
