About Me

For the past few years, I have dedicated the majority of my time to horse racing. I have become an established member of numerous racing forums and I am sure a few of you will have seen my 'Please Ignore' threads on GG and Everythinghorseracing.co.uk (great forum). In my spare time I also advise a number of parties concerning bloodstock and dosage profiles. In the last 5 years I have formulated numerous selection filters and rating systems which have allowed me to achieve substantial profit on a yearly basis. I have also established links with a number of stables, and receive regular info which I will share on the blog as and when I receive it. For me horse racing is a passion and I'm always looking at ways to improve, both as a tipster and as an equine enthusiast. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and feel free to contact me either via email at myhorseracing101@gmail.com or via twitter at horses4course.

Today's Selections


1:10 Ayr  - One For Hocky (10/1) - 1pt e/w bet - This horse caught my eye when winning a bumper in fine style at Newcastle last year. He out galloped his rivals that day and looked to be a horse with a real future. For one reason or another, Nicky choose to keep his powder dry after that performance and the horse wasn't seen again until October when he took part in a maiden hurdle at Kelso on heavy ground. Although he was well beaten that day, it looked as if the yard were treating it as a schooling exercise and he was never really pushed for an effort.

Today we see OFH for just the third time and his trainer is in tremendous form. So far this season Nicky has been operating at a 19% strike rate with his hurdlers, he's 6 from 21 in novice company, 2 from 9 in January, 6 from 20 when booking Harding and has an overall strike rate of 13% with his hurdlers at Ayr in the last 5 seasons. The horses owners are also known for winning races at appealing prices and the nature of the course at Ayr will suit this galloping individual perfectly. Although I fear the McCain horse, his price looks very short and I would rather take an e/w position on One For Hocky and hope he can at least place. (UP)


Further bets will hopefully follow this afternoon so watch this space.
3:00 Lingfield - Storm Runner (10/3) - 3pt win bet - This is a difficult little race to assess and a lot will depend on whether the Balding Horse (Perfect Mission) attempts to make all under Thomas Brown. If I'm correct and the jockey employs those tactics, then I think it will turn into a two horse race between Storm Runner and Titan Triumph. The decision to side with SR was largely led by the fact that he's progressing as opposed to TT who definitely appears to be on a downward curve. Clearly backing a horse like SR is a danger as there is every chance that he could now be in the handicappers grip but he faces some weak and unproven rivals today and with the race set to pan out in his favour, I think he's capable of defying his current mark.
