Racing League - Fixture 1 (Newcastle)

1 Bet for me.
8:25 Jebel Dukhan.

Good luck with that one 1830.

In running with these BS colours is a chore, pass for me.

WD on Saluti for Team Arena.

Did not a single person say if might be a good idea to have colours that
you had a clue what you were watching.
Its fnnng rubbish.

??? The colours are on the racecards.

Im probably being bitter as I could decide which one was Saluti and which one was Spoof, so ended up too slow, still it's just an unnecessary chore.

Yep, colours need improving upon

Jeez! Any selections?

Why haven't we got the usual elevated camera position?

Crownthorpe runs well here (1 Wn & 2 2nds/4-unseated the other one).
McCaine takes off a handy 5LB aswell (Won off 87 @South'll & 83 C&D,jocks claims taken off)
Runs off 81 with the claim in this was also 2nd here(84)C&D 2 runs back,btn 3/4L.
Should run well tonight if reproducing course form.
11s on here & 7/8s with the books.

Yeah, good stuff Penzance. I noticed the course angle with Crownthorpe. Very weak in the market at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised to see the money come in late for it.

7.25 Dulas for me. Course winner. Yard in form. Jockey good value for claim. Form in higher class.

Yeah 1 from 1 at the course Ram. I don't have a strong opinion in this one but Woven and your one could be the way to go. The problem with Woven is he runs well but has an allergy to winning at present. French Rain looks on a fair mark too. Trappy race.

They are all trappy races tbf.

tbh I am still not getting the team aspect.

Sure, but some I have a stronger opinion on.

Probably more for those involved.

Echo Beach. Didn't see that coming. What I call an "is what it is" horse, rather than one I think might be better or worse than expected.

Fancy way of saying loser

Another impressive ride from Pearson.

Time to step in for my second bet of the evening. I've split a 1pt between Tenbury Wells (Running into form and looks like there is more to come) & Crownthopre (A reproduction of any of his previous 3 completed Newcastle runs would see him go very close)

Flying High in 7.55, dropping down from listed class last time, (won by John Leeper), 2x course and distance. 13/2 win and place.

7.55 Laura Pearson again on Smash Hit, though so far he's making a habit of getting placed.

Flyin' High under Hayley Turner? Last in a listed race but if connections think he is Listed class, he is well-in.

Lol. Both mine drifting badly.

16s Crownthorpe,now.
Big.

TW 1.61 IR but no excuses, best horse won.

That looked like  a cartoon with the lack of early pace

i must admit that although the team racing is competitive, the change of colours is frustrating. I have to look back to previous runs to see the normal colours as I am a firm believer that owners are a big factor in racing. Bonneval was from Fittocks Stud owned by the Cumani family for instance. I still didn't back it.

I think it's really good.. a fun event.. I'm following Team Lotto..

I do think it's wrong when a horse is withdrawn there is no reserve. If that's not practical then some points should be given to the Team that did not get a run.

I don't agree with jockeys opting out to ride elsewhere... H Doyle is at Goodwood so Jack Mitchell gets all the rides.. that doesn't seem right to me..

Some of the Team Managers really shouldn't be involved,, they could surely have found better in some cases..

I like the camera angles and Enzo's commentaries..  all very good so far..

I'm following Team Lotto..   

Parapet time
JOB's with lay of Sirs

Fav for me.

Chinned by Roscioli. Hayley Turner, who I backed in the previous race, like the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch.

Not getting the team part but, like the Shergar Cup, if you ignore the parts you don't understand or like, it's a cracking card.

nurse nurse...

this patient has stopped taking his medication...

double dose tonight please.

The last 2 Andrew Balding horses tonight were any price you like so I expect the last one will win as well now! A maiden winning a 0-90 handicap but he had been dropped 5lb.

Yeah, just an OK run LTO but they did run it in a G3 as 2yo. So maybe it shows more at home than the racecourse until tonight. I still couldn't have found it though!

I need Pearl Beach in this last race for TEAM LOTTO...  woo hoo !!....  go go Daniel...

Cemhaan run 2 good races the last twice,
not btn far 1/2L lto and a Nse time before,
(11F Wins & 12f Epsom).

All these Class 3 handicaps are just like a BAGS meeting where you have no chance.

Igraine for Donnacha to take back across the Irish Sea. Name your own price. Or Mr Curiosity. Either could be better than they've shown.

waahhh!!!....  go on my son, lol..   don't say I didn't tip you a winner !..

What on earth is Alex Hammond on - giggling away

I thought for a minute that Hayley was going to win again. Backed it at 55 and laid off at 30 for £1 profit!

WD @Adelaide. Looked at her on basis of high speed figure but went off her because I'm stupid.

Roger Charlton , what a  difference a day makes !

The Balding dream season carries on apace with another £40k today to increase his lead in the trainers Championship.

VWD Adelaide! Lovely hit. LOL @ Ram! We've all been there. I personally enjoyed the meeting and nicked a few points profit and got a couple for the notebook.

I only dipped in and out for the races but thoroughly enjoyed what I saw this evening, should be better still at Donny next week instead of the Tapeta
