Second race at Wolves I'm interested in JUST AMBER at 18/1. Will have a slight fitness edge on most of the field and would of learned a little more from the first run where running green and being hampered. Only concern maybe being drawn out wide in stall 10.
Those odds are collapsing and in absolutely freefall. Over the past hour has gone from 18/1 to as low as 8/1.
I nearly mentioned "will be interested to see if the money comes for it" but what I didn't want to say was "I've been told"
The money continuing to come for Just Amber. One ‘eck of a gamble and it will be interesting to see if this continues into tomorrow. The favourite though is also strong in the market and very, very much of an unknown quantity seeing as she is unraced. Am guessing that if this wasn’t the case then Just Amber would be even shorter.
Prince Of Rome in the third race at wolves looks interesting, second run back after a,break seems to suit , hes handicapped to win and his small but capable yard is in form 8/1 At wetherby the unlucky Haafapuece can get some compensation in the 2m h hurdle 4/1 , keep an eye on pam slys bumper runner , she certainly has a yardstick to measure it with !!!
THE ELECTRICIAN 40/1 Wetherby 2;10 I actually took 80/1 about this one last night because it simply looked too big. Looked very average in a bumper but then with cheekpieces on ran a really decent race to be 2nd at Kelso on hurdles debut. Back at Kelso a few weeks later with Ryan Mania replaced with a 7lb claimer and the cheekpieces left off he folded pretty tamely. Today Mania is back on and so are the cheekpieces and at the price I thought he was worth a dabble. I would have preferred to wait for extra places but 365 were always the shortest about him.
Seems to be drifting out again now. Could be because Jibber Jabber has cooled off on it, after flagging it up as an eyecatcher.
17:20 Wetherby - Tea For Free (In the bumper at Wetherby, a modest e/w bet on this Irish P2P winner last December. Seems well-bred for the job. Odds around 9/1 at the moment. Good trainer/jockey combination.)
Gosden is to share his licence with his son Thady (from behind the paywall): “Five-time champion John Gosden is to become the highest profile trainer to operate under a shared licence when his son Thady's papers are rubber-stamped by the BHA. The new arrangement, which could be in place by the start of the turf season on March 27, recognises the growing role played in the running of Clarehaven stables by Thady, who recently completed his modules at the British Racing School. He supervised the running in Riyadh of last month's $20 million Saudi Cup winner Mishriff and will be back in the Middle East at the end of this month to saddle Mishriff for the Sheema Classic and Lord North for the Dubai Turf. Confirming the news, which is revealed in Horses In Training 2021, Gosden, who has won four of the last eight trainers' titles, said: "It was always the plan to do it at this time, and in normal circumstances it would probably have been cleared for January 1, but we might have to wait for another three or four weeks now. "Thady has been with me for many summers through his school and university years. He's been to America with Bob Baffert, to Ireland with Joseph O'Brien, and first of all to Australia to work for David Hayes instead of taking a gap year, and he's also had to put up with me. "He's been my assistant for at least five years, and since Covid he's done a lot more racing than me, so it's merely putting a more official name to it. He's more than ready to take over but I'm not looking to retire any time soon, so it seems a fair compromise." Gosden, who will be 70 at the end of the month, added: "Due to Covid-19 all of the modules and requirements have been delayed so all of his crop are yet to receive their licence. Hopefully he will have completed it by the start of the turf season, or the Craven meeting." Thady Gosden, who is 25, studied history of art at Bristol University but has always had his sights set on a career in racing. He said: "Having grown up in Newmarket, then down at Manton and back here it was always going to be racing. I've been working here full time for five years and part-time before that too, and I've also been lucky to spend time as well in Australia, the States and over in Ireland, learning different styles and different ways of dealing with things. "I've done all the modules now and we are just waiting for the paperwork to be cleared. The people at the BHA are being very helpful, so I'm hoping I'll be on the licence for the start of the turf season. I'm looking forward to it." Joint licences, common for years in Australia and some other jurisdictions, were finally approved by the BHA last spring, since when Paul and Olly Cole, Simon and Ed Crisford, and Daniel and Claire Kubler are among those who have taken advantage. Similar arrangements have also now been approved in Ireland, where Eddie Harty and his son Patrick are among those who have given notice of their intention to apply.
I seen a message on twitter saying racing has not been suspended. Hopefully confirmation wont be far behind.
Fingers crossed. It might be that sport horse events are suspended but hopefully racing isn’t affected.
