Good Evening, Friend

Sam Darby's excellent weekly preview has just gone up on the blog. It's usually posted around 8pm on Thursday, for all last week it was Friday... where Sam bagged a much deserved 6/1 winner on Saturday afternoon.

As always though, it's not just a main fancy or two you get, but loads of useful detail packed in for the future, and horses for your tracker. (last week's is worth a read for the notebook, HERE >>>)

You can read tomorrow's 'Free Tips Friday' post HERE >>>

Fingers crossed! Sam has also included a link to his historical results, which can be found at the bottom of the post for those interested.

Via Electriano - we had a fun, if frustrating trip, to Brighton. She went in the stalls, eventually, but sadly didn't handle coming down the hill at all. That can happen there, but her legs were all at sea for most of the trip, before levelling up on the climb to the line. She's ran ok, but not to the level of her debut run.

Annoying, but she was ready to run and may have got stuck in the mud at Beverley on Monday, which was the other option. We live and learn, but I doubt she'll be back there!

So, back to a conventional track we go, and the all-weather, most likely Kempton next Wednesday or Wolverhampton on the 15th.

My write-up did land on the winner as the main danger, not that it was much consolation to me in the moment but maybe you had a nibble on that basis.

As an aside, the food served to Owners at Brighton was very good and a few tracks could learn from them.

Onwards!

Thankfully the response to our rejigged 'Summer Syndicate' has been much more positive and its full steam ahead for Endlesspossibility as our first horse with the superb Dr Richard Newland and his team.

Do keep an eye on him when stepped up in trip on better ground and moved into handicaps. He needs one more run over 2m in which to get a mark, but he needs further. He's also maturing day by day and is working in a much more controlled way. There's bundles to come from him and if he doesn't win a summer handicap hurdle or three in the weeks ahead, I'll be shocked (and disappointed!)

There' still time to get involved for just £2.99 per day and you can find out more HERE >>>

All the best,
