Just a quick word on yesterdays results which werent too bad in all with 4 of the 5 making the frame. With even luck i probably should have had a second winner with Talk of the North who definitely finished the race like an unlucky loser.

Accession really looks one to keep on the right side of i think and the filly that beat him quite cosy first time must be an exciting prospect too.

Morris came under a lot of fire for his ride on Talk of the north which definitely wasnt the best but i do think u have to get to the stands rail at lingfield at all costs and the lad riding the horse to his outside was determined to keep him in. Finished full of running so could make up to be a nice prospect for his newbie trainer.

I was very disappointed with fairyinthewind who after being fast from the gate on her first 2 starts couldnt hold a decent position from a good draw in 4, i cant help but think it was all by design being the 3rd run and i will be interested in the mark she is given but the problem is i doubt she will get a better chance to win a race than that and decided not to even try. I'm guess she will be given low 60's just because she definitely hinted at ability first time out. Its all very well opting for the handicap route after 2 runs and trying to lower your mark with a poor 3rd run but the problem is your not the only one at it and altho you might go into your first handicap with 7 pounds or so to spare there is every chance you will meet one with a stone in hand for exactly the same reason.

Saturdays are never my favourite days racing mainly because of the lack of maiden races so may not even be a bet but will keep you posted.
