Could it be argued L'Homme Presse has been the yard flag bearer during these barren times? Giving Hait Coleur two pound beaten seven lengths, giving Spillane Tower five pound beaten less than a length, not bad form given an animal that may well have been under perfoming like the rest of the yard, big disparity in prices for the big one come March maybe... had a tenner on @ 140 just in case...
Venetia has one entered for the Eider next weekend I see, had a play at 26... plenty of runners this week it would seem, be interesting to see how the chasers in particular perform, cheers... |

Two winners don't make a season but it might be the start of a revival.

Nice double already, 10s and 11/4...got an even money shot to come, fingers crossed
Up to about a week ago they were finding nothing, today, twice finding loads on the run in after looking second best |

Well done Reg keeping the faith.
I've backed all of hers in singles and multiples since november, only about 1900 points down now. |

Well done keeping the faith Reg. Bet you had yer legs crossed for the last one.

Swiftly, I cut down stakes a lot during her bad run, but after the winner the other day thought she might have turned the corner so upped stakes a bit , but , as you say, still probably only clawing back losses
DrG...All 3 today looked beaten before rallying Got to be followed blind again now, imo She might even get a Cheltenham winner...in one of the handicaps, or Lhomme presse? Keep the faith |

Well done Reg. You have had to be patient. They might be over bet for the next week though.

Sage, you are correct, probably be shorter than they should for a while
Was over your way earlier today, never seen the fields so full of water, and no sign of a let up |

Apart from that initial spurt and 3 from 3 on 18th Feb, next 16 runners have all performed rather badly, many being a shorter price than they should have been.

The explanation could be that Venetia has a lot of very moderate horses this year. Only Djelo, Royal Pagaille and LHomme Presse performed at a high level last season and they are either getting old or having to race at Graded level.

Talking of golden oldies I was interested to see the yards' Funambule Sivola has got an entry in the Plate... not run for two years and is now 11, was quite highly tried back in the day albeit beaten some wide margins... now on a mark of 136, thought would of gotten in to the Plate with ease given last years' bottom weight was 127... but no, number 43 in the list... nevertheless I've had a play at 100/1 ew NRNB... might sneak in at the bottom with others entered elsewhere, if not, no harm done...

Certainly don't agree on Charlie Deutsch. He looks good on some of Venetia's because he rides them at home but I have watched him on outside rides and he is awful.

By:
Morning sage, I wouldn't say he's awful, perhaps just a journeyman jockey,one of many...but it's all about opinions
|

By:
Morning Reg, enjoying the sun and sea? Charlie is probably an adequate horseman but his race craft leaves a lot to be desired. Often pushed wide on bends, out of his ground at crucial moments etc. Like Nico, it is easier to look good on very good horses. They all have their good and bad points but I rate Sam T-D as good as any.

Hello sage, yes it's positively balmy weather here
I like this young Ben Jones lad, definitely champion jockey in the next few years when he gets the gig at a bigger stable....imo |
