New season of 2 year old racing

Normally I wouldn't bet so early in the 2 year old season but why not have a crack at the Initial Plate. No real fixed odds markets to guide myself on but I've settled on the McAuliffe trained filly Obatala, she has blinkers added to racing gear for her debut and with W.Pike in the saddle should give a good account. Has only had the one 400m jump out but she does look to be a nicely put together filly by Universal Ruler, who produced some early sprint types last season, she is a full sister to Versed Remedy who, while still a maiden, ran a number of very handy races including minor placings to Cadenza and Big Caroline. Neville Parnham dominated the 2 year old season early last year at Belmont Park and so his two runners, Fremond and Watijadoo must be respected. The fence is the perfect place for a 2 year old and Paul Harvey a seasoned pilot. From the inside gate Lucky Street will be given a soft run by the Pontiff. As always betting will tell the tale in the first few months of 2 year old racing so watch the market.

The Belgravia on Saturday should be an absolute cracker of a race really looking forward to it

Tend to agree 1st few weeks in new tracks can be a shocker, having said that Belmont  was about as bad as one could recall for an entire season except for just 1 or 2 meetings that were an exception.Hope I get a chance to punt in the club but would l...

Both are tracks that are dangerous to bet early on. You can get a track bias by race 2 of the day and it can bring a lot of the questionable ones into calculations. Now we go to Ascot and have to marry form from Belmont performers to Ascot performers coming b...

Turned out to be a tough day for early tipping. Few you could have backed on the day following the money. Most frustrating for me was Raising Dubai, I really liked that and got sucked into the fav. Knuckey strikes again. Been keen for Ascot for a fair while no...

@OliversTwist did you finish in front with those bets on Saturday??? I haven't checked for a while, but they used to put your returns up as well. I thought Saturday was a tough card to pick, so I did no form and not surprisingly...lost on the day!!! What was s...

Yes an outstanding effort by sky world, totally unprofessional and then to exacerbate things further by not even apologising for putting on the incorrect replay that was absolutely outstanding. On top of all that bloke in the studio should get a swift kick up ...
