Racing League - Yarmouth 27/07/23

nordic empire to benefit from a change of colours

5.30 - 5f (5f42y) Race 1 Nursery Handicap (Racing League) (Class 4) (2yo 0-85)

Very much a token selection for me here in Chinese Knot Looks like she's improving with racing and the Sandown 3rd looks decent form in the context of this race.

Not very original in the opener but there is not much to knock with I'm So Dizzy and looks a fair shout here.

leona looks like she turned right when the lap dancing club was straight on

Up and running for the season!

Nice start whippin wd.

Hectic each way for Glen in the next!

Kenbo an hour behind as always!!

6.00 - 6f Race 2 Handicap (Racing League) (Class 4) (3yo+ 0-85)

Still finalising my selection for this one, possibly 2 against the field.

Any thoughts and opinions lads?

Already said an ew yankee and acca kenbo!!

Shobiz would be an apt winner.

The Going doesn't look as soft as I thought it would be.

Course dries really quick whippin and if anyone has the balls to come hard up against the stands rail could find a length or so advantage.

Interesting Cagliari

Split a point between Rathbone and Monsieur Kodi at acceptable prices in what looks a wide open race.

Still in the placepot

Not quite hard against the rail whippin but the 2nd came from stall 2 to near it!!

Marco has a serious chance here,the draw a possible negative however he knows better than most that getting to the stand rail can count for plenty and he has time to drift that way if prominent,gone ew.

The second blew the start too so you're probably right about the rail.

6.30 1m (1m3y)Race 3 Handicap (Racing League) (Class 4) (3yo+ 0-85)

United Front & Repertoire both need a decent pace to aim at and there's a couple in this field who like to get on with it. Both very acceptable prices on the machine.

Bisto Boy et al will be seething!!

Well done Cag.

7f (7f3y) Race 4 Handicap (Racing League) (Class 3) (3yo+ 0-90)

My bet of the night goes in this one. Plenty shorty enough now but everything looks in place for a big from Farhh To Shy. On her day she looks to have a touch of class about her.

*run

Next race is a chance to test the rail theory,even if they favour the centre of the track early.This could be a good opportunity for Hayley Turner to exploit her draw even if she follows the middle early.

Would have to think she will be right up there from the start and able to make a decision on whether to stay straight or otherwise,if she comes stands side then she has an advantage that may give her a better chance than the price suggests albeit 14s shorter than earlier,a definite minimum frame shout.

Good luck with that one Cag.

Faar to shy is Hugh's third bet of the day. If it wins, it will break a sizeable losing streak . Good luck WP

Cheers whippin,ditto yours.No sign of the "Premiership" which is ironic when leagues are mentioned,chancers hate odds against,opinion and analysis!!!

WD Picc - yeehah!

one for Sir Paul and a winner for Sir Hughie

whipp!

Happy to help Hugh and his followers

Cracker whippin,hard to see an easier winner tonight!![:cool

The Ikeaman was plenty vocal as usual but not been heard from since his lay bolted up in similar style,tells us plenty!!

Cheers lads. I did put her up last night at a much better price

Next for me is Sir Titus,again based on the stands rail,hard to say yours was helped by it whippin late on but it did not hinder!!

8.00 - 1m6f (1m6f17y)Race 6 Handicap (Racing League) (Class 3) (3yo+ 0-95)

Went with Stone Circle and Count D'Orsey in my Placepot but I found it hard to rule anything out in this one. GL with Sir Titus and Leif with his huge priced selection.

ITV are doing a terrible disservice,there is NO CROWD,deserted despite the decent card,do they think viewers are blind?

No money for that one Whipp. Top 4 for an interest. Small win bet just in case.
It's also looking like this near rail is where to be.

Complete opposite for rails leif!!

Saffie

"This Racing League stuff is a load of old rubbish"

Only ever seen genuine heavy at Yarmouth twice when on track,once when I helped saddle one I had an interest in.The trainer had failed to send a girth strap long enough to go around the horse,sorted late but enough to tell the jockey to stick far side and just go for it at the 2 pole.

He hit the frame and we backed him ew from 100s on here,not long after talked to the Murphy brothers on the course about jockeys not utilising either rail,especially the near rail.

Astounded when they agreed that few would go on their own initiative despite the obvious advantage!!

Btw not just heavy ground,drying soft and GS.

Should not be an issue next and Marco again with a huge chance,you get some weird and wonderful results over this trip and here it is a rare one,ew Marco.

I'd pencilled in Halyphon but that was relying on the rain coming.
hasn't arrived.

Stand side,rare you see that on the round course trips!!

Saffie A few lines on the Placepot landed. I bet you was glad she got that one up on the line

Leif....unless you played?

This racing league is utter garbage! lol

yep

The juice would have made a difference there. Likewise with that faustus earlier [traded 11/8 in running though]

Has to be better than watching mediocre horses running around sand pits? Maybe not for this Forum tbf but it tells you all you need to know about the average content and 24/7 lives they live?

The competitions Forum tells you the story of how disinterested or deluded many are in actual competition in terms of betting.Clueless articles who have no other life than here.

Sociopathic beyond the pale in Slough but enough idiots to feed the Libra Tiger layers never to be mentioned by Ikeaman but 28c worthy of a mention from Google!!!

Btw Andaleep might be a leap too far given the draw but a decent jockey can carry it into the frame,has the form to figure, made it my nap in Div2 and await ridicule for not napping the AOB 1/4 shot of Ikeaman?

The race could pan out nicley for Andaleep here Cag. Good luck, thrown a few quid on it at a price. Been a good nights work

We can only hope whippin!!

Nice warm up for Sir Mark's hoss for the Ebor after a 308 day lay off

Paid out whippin but wish he had stuck to the far rail,had a feeling he would get checked from the draw but tbf not so bad,ran well.

Ran well off a tough mark. Frankie rode a canny one there. Been a good night, enjoyed it.

Praise heaped on Dettori on Cumulonimbus rightfully. What about his ride on Shahbaz?

Yeah, very promising comeback run from Sir Mark's

Not one stewards enquiry. This is so rare.

We must be against the grain whippin,class 6 and sellers for this Forum,they think it is easier and still lose!!!

They will need to give the big one at Ascot a miss then! What a stunning race! Derby form from this and last year represented, my boy Hukum aiming to put another a big one on the board, Pyledriver trying to improve his excellent course record, a top class filly and a few other admirable characters in there too. Wow!

Footfall at the Gates tells you all about the Racing League and who is interested.

How many turned up?
they only managed to attract 7.3k at the gates for the gigs last year.

Blaky was down on the thing and may not appear on the show again

It wont be back next year, I'm pretty certain of that.

The shergar cup is a dead horse that keeps getting flogged.

Not good for the sport to keep flogging these dead uns

Does it? I don't think its that black & white. You might want to look at the decline of attendance figures at some of the other big meetings, even Racecourses who stage group races have struggled of late.

We 're now at the point where one in ten households cannot make it to the end of the month without going into debt and that's up from one in twenty previously.
Fuel, energy, food, mortgage and other increases are crippling households.

Racegoers could get into Yarmouth today for a fiver by all accounts so the place should have been packed out.

Falling attendances wont be confined to horseracing though.

Yes, I agree with you Leif. Times are tough due to a number of reasons. It would be interesting to know if the number of Holidaymakers in Yarmouth is down from previous years? Even taking a holiday at home must a bit of stretch for many in the current climate.

ITV doing such a good job prom oting this i didnt even no they were covering it,never mind someone new to the game
