Monday's Racing Tips (27th September)

It’s been a while since my last post and it’s fair to say the trackers have could have done better lately to be honest, it’s funny because the same thing happened last season when I started off pretty strong but the last few months of the flat season was a disaster, definitely something for me to look into when the flat season finishes. 

I do still have trackers coming through as we still have a fair bit of 2-year-old racing left but I will be betting with caution after my recent hits to my betting bank.

I do have a few trackers in this. I had a few quid on the William Haggas runner Persist last time out who ran a decent enough when coming third in a class 2 race at Salisbury at the beginning of the month. Persist was in a bit of a barging match at the business end of the race that day and came off third best to a nice looking horse of Ralph Beckett’s called Good American. I’m pretty sure the Cheveley Park Stud owned Frankel filly will have a win on the board soon enough and today could be the day, around 5/2 at the time of writing. Aunt Bethany actually came second that day and another who could be involved here. At the time of writing the Sir Michael Stoute trained Chichen Itza has been well-supported into favourite after a decent debut fourth at Leicester 20 days ago, could be anything really and not one to be ruled out. I keep saying I won’t back a newcomer ever again but it never happens and I’ve had a small each way on my next tracker HOOKED ON YOU who is a 130,000 gns yearling trained by one of my favourite 2-year-old trainers Karl Burke, I do normally like to back his runners second time out but I’m taking a chance on this Starspangledbanner filly who was bought at the December yearling sales and owned by John and Jess Dance. A half-sister to the superb Alcohol Free who won on debut and has since won plenty of group races for trainer Andrew Balding. Hooked On You has attracted a bit of support from 7s so it will be interesting looking at the market near race time.

Not much of interest here apart from my only tracker THREE DIAMONDS for trainer David Simcock who makes his debut here. It’s been a pretty quiet season so far for David but he has still managed a couple of debut winners. Any support for the Night Of Thunder colt would be interesting here, if weak I would take it as a negative. Has a low draw to deal with. Around 5s at the time of writing.

A couple of trackers here. Mark Johnston trained CAPITAL THEORY who brings a decent level of form to the table here. Another is a bit of a dark horse called MR ALAN who hasn’t been seen since running a nice race back in May at Yarmouth. A £92,000 purchase and owned by Amo Racing and trained by George Boughey. The form of the race has worked out really well and if the long absence isn’t an issue hopefully Mr Alan can get his head in front here.

SCHOLAR is a very well-thought of No Nay Never Aidan O’Brien colt who could be a nice type for the future. I can never be sure how Aidan’s 2-year-olds run on debut so could be a watching brief. Thanks for reading and good luck.
