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.
