Monday 19th August
Well it was AW Racing and it was Southwell, but I don't think I've ever seen such a strange start to a race (unless stalls malfunction which clearly they did not) as the tip race yesterday. All that was missing was the "Condor moment" TV Advert from the 1970's. Three horses all drawn low missed the start for no logical reason, including our two selections , one of whom is usually a very sharp starter. Frustrating but we move on.
There are 4 Fixtures today at Catterick; Windsor, Worcester and Yarmouth. Not too much to excite us at Windsor tonight, not too much to note at Yarmouth either , although a TRACKER (Available Agent) does look interesting in the Classified Race at 7.40. So we'll look at an Amateur Jockey Handicap at Catterick and a Handicap Hurdle at Worcester, where both races have backable strong favourites at around 4/1, and an alternative nicely priced each way punt.
