Ascot Preview, 16th March
We saw a very leader and Mitch Pateman bias Ascot a week ago, with the weather conditions likely playing a part in that. I often find when a track gets toward the end of the season that they tend t...

Ascot Preview, 9th March
A precursor to this preview, that I cannot remember a city Saturday meet that I’ve been less enthusiastic about as a betting proposition. The entire card has a lot of unquantifiable variables...

I’ll take on board the valid point regarding the editor ‘s role in what’s printed in the paper. Perhaps our disappointment should be with the paper and the editor rather than the journalist. I certainly didn’t mean to question Ernie as a person, I’ve only had ...
