MASSIVE 25/1 WINNER, HOBBS DREAM .

What a day we had yesterday,the second day of this blog, when our sole selection, HOBBS DREAM, ran away from the field to register a clear cut and comprehensive  victory at the fantastic odds of 25/1.This followed on the heels of our debut selection, MINISTRY who ran third at odds of 6/1.This hopefully, is just a preview of things to come here at this address where we burn the midnight oil in our search for winners.I'll be honest with you; I'd rather have one winner a day at 25/1 than to have a clutch of them at very short odds.Truth be told, I did not expect Hobbs Dream to return at such a price.I would have been happy with anything between 8/1 and 12/1.How he was allowed to go off at such  a price is a  question I am unable to answer.I would be the last one to complain.So on we move to another day's racing with no time to spare to rest  on our laurels.Kempton Park is our next stop where our selection for today runs , and this one goes in the 7.20 race,a Handicap for class 4 Horses over a distance of 7 furs.MAY"S BOY is our choice to bring home the gold medal today and if  he does what we expect him to do ,he should return at a decent price.This horse has had a total of 22 career starts winning 4 of them,3of which came on polytrack,[today's surface].He started off 2011 with a victory on Feb.4th  and that win came in a class 6 race at  Lingfield. He was then upped in class and contested a series of  class 4 races culminating in a victory over 7 furs at Sandown Park.He was again upped in class and ran twice in class 3 races.He failed to shine in this grade and returned to class 4 contests.He then seemed to have gone off the boil running badly in his final start before connections  decided to give him a break in September.Freshened up by that period of rest, he returned to action on this track over a 1ml trip in early January.He finished 5th of 9 runners beaten 4 lengths.In that race he was held up in the rear before attempting to go for a gap 1 fur.out only to find the door shut on him.It was a most encouraging return to the track after his 31/2 month layoff as he looked the likely winner at the 7 fur marker.May's Boy is trained by M.D.Usher  who does really well with his runners at this venue.His jockey ,David Probert is another who excels here so the combination of trainer ,horse and jockey are all proven performers on this surface.MAY"S BOY is the selection of the day for Wednesday 1st Feb and as usual we advise that each way bets be placed on all selections.

MINISTRY RUNS 3rd AT 6/1.

Our first tip from the pages of this blog finished third at a well backed price of 6/1 at Plumpton yesterday.He ran well, but of course, we are not satisfied with his final finishing position.We tip horses hoping they will win.We do not tip because we think they will place.That is not to lay blame at the feet of anyone for his finishing position.On the day, he just met two others who were better than him.Nevertheless ,those of you who took my advice and backed this one would also have followed my advice and backed him each way.That means you would have earned a small profit on your  overall outlay.Your cash was returned to your pocket and none was left with the Bookies.Winning is important,it's the object of the exercise, but not losing any of your stake is in itself,a minor victory for which we must be thankful..........Our selection for today runs in the 1.40 at Taunton.a class 5 Handicap Hurdle over a distance of 3mls/1fur,a marathon trip for the 16 contestants due to go to post for this one.It's a race for Conditional Jockeys and the going is reported to be good to soft ,soft in some places.When reviewing a race , I try to unearth as much information that I can possibly find in order to assist me in arriving at my final conclusion.Lots of research is done in an effort to get things right.In so doing, I came across a comment by one race reviewer whose opinion was that  this race was full of ,as he put it,"deadwood'.Now I don't intend to disagree with the goodly gentleman for making that comment, on the contrary ,I tend to agree with his observation.However 'deadwood' or not, at the end of that 3mls 1 fur ,one of these' deadwoods' will be crossing the finish line ahead of the other 15 'd.............s.' . It is to our hope that our selection would be the horse to pull it off.Our choice therefore  in this race is the  Neil Mulholland trained horse, HOBBS DREAM [ No 9]. His conditional jockey, Andrias Guerin ,gets a handy 8 lb pull from his fellow conditionals.Hobbs dream had his first run for this season in a Handicap Hurdle in which he placed 2nd.He was then sent Chasing ,without much success, until taking a very nasty fall in his last outing back in December.He is back over Hurdles today ,but, in a field comprised of horses of little ability, I am of the firm belief that he is going to prove himself to be a cut above this bunch..The trip poses no problems for Hobbs Dream,He  has run over a longer trip before [3mls/3furs].The ground is not a concern either,as a matter of fact connections would welcome more rain.This Horse has won twice in Heavy going and both these victories came in January 2011.His record reads 24 races....3wins.....5seconds....1third..Trainer Neil Mulholland is fresh from a big race victory on Saturday when his stable star Midnight Chase captured the graded Argento Chase at Cheltenham.He has sent out 142  runners for this campaign though he has had only 12 winners.However at this track.,his record is 3 wins  and 10 placed horses from 51 runners overall. Our advice is  that  HOBBS DREAM  be backed to land the spoils in this race . A good price is expected, but remember ,each way betting  is once again advised on all bets.{4 places on offer so long as all 16 run}Best of luck.Please Share this with others.

Welcome to this new Blog where it is our intention to share with interested readers,Horse Racing tips for English Racing fans.This blog will be posting no more than two well researched selections each day.We have our own systematic method of finding winners and after doing all the necessary checks, readers can look forward to seeing our selections posted on this blog.This is a free service which readers will find to be a reliable and profitable source for  frequent winning selections.This service will not be making selections in races of seven horses or less.If a selection is made in a particular race and it turns out that subsequently, the field boils down to seven or less horses as a result of scratches,then it is our advice that no bets be placed in that race.Our view is that Horses should only be backed in races where there are at least three places on offer.This blog will not be tipping horses at short or very short odds.Four to one or better is what we are looking for. As such it is recommended  that all our selections  be backed each way.At this Blog ,we have over 40 years of experience and institutional knowledge of Racing in the U.K. [and indeed elsewhere],and so readers will be the one's to benefit [and profit] from our expertise.Our first selection for our readers runs at Plumpton Racecourse today in the 3.50  race.MINISTRY  {No8 ] is our choice in this contest, a 2 ml Handicap Hurdle for class 5 Horses.,Ministry is making his Handicap debut  today and his shrewd connections usually do well with their runners here.We expect good things of this horse in this race which has some poor and inconsistent animals in attendance,His last race was at Kempton Park in a pretty hot race The winner there ,Saddlers Risk is being touted as a contender for Triumph hurdle honors.MINISTRY was not knocked about in that race by his pilot as clearly he wasn't ready to do himself justice.His jockey's kindness is expected to be repaid today.Expect this one to start at a price of around 8/1.
