Sunday 16th January

One of those days yesterday when we were frustratingly nowhere near the winners of the two big races but were "feeding off the scraps" of enhanced place opportunities to hopefully mitigate any losses on stakes and that "if you can't win don't lose" philosophy we've been banging on about for over a decade.
 
Dans Le Vent at an SP of 14/1 and Up for Parol at an SP of 17/2 finished 5th and 6th in The Lanzarote where we said we'd settle to 6th and Jerryback finished a remote 5th at Warwick at 22/1, we said we'd record to 4th in that race so will record Jerrysback as a loser but we did point out using the 5th place on offer with Sky / PP and WH so hopefully a few were on that. Achille as we suspected I think had a race there a bit too soon after some great runs in December and is one to keep an eye on possibly in a Cheltenham Handicap and it's possibly Jerrysback could pick up a nice long Distance Chase in Class 3 or 4 company so both will be added to the TRACKER system.
 
We have tip races at Kelso and Punchestown today, a few Trackers and Sean will also be releasing names of around half a dozen VERY LONG TERM horses who are running today who he suggests we and you add to Trackers - NOT for any investment at this stage but some he has got good reports on from P2P fields and contacts capable possibly of picking up small race prizes in the next 2-3 years (fail to prepare prepare to fail!!).
