poor ole me waiting for the decent jumps thats a coming - but poor fayre till then - playing the most prize money race today and sandown 3.50 all age is for me - BETFRED TV & LEVY BOARD HANDICAP (CLASS 2) (3yo+)
Last year won by Labarinto there are enough trends for the higher prices to make this a tad interesting
Winners come from the 4 year old age bracket carrying more than 8-10
7 from 10 - 1 six yr old 1 3 yr old and one 8 year old.
prices range from 6/1(fav) to 16/1 majority of winners are backed in late seldom drift
favored draw for this distance at sandown is from 13 upwards but this race seems to be pretty open to depend on that stat with winners coming from across the track
Recent form does not seem to be that important either but a top trainer is
so its a hard nut to crack but can be rewarding -
looking for a 4yr old drawn well and best Efficiency in races of the same Going and Class around the 16/1 mark and confidence to be backed in
the one that hits the eye is Mister Music at 14/1 currently betfair 5th in efficiency and drawn a very nice 14 box improved for the pieces at goodwood last time wears them again today under Mr Hughes . stayed on really well over the 1m1f at Goodwood and the hill should suite it now in form. Has been placed in races off higher marks than today and I make it only 2lbs to ride and win to this mark of 97.
good luck
roll on the jumps season proper

Ebor Handicap 24th August 2013
The Betfred Ebor Handicap takes placed on the today Saturday 24th August The Ebor meeting was abandoned at York in 2008 season after the track was waterlogged and as a result the Ebor was run as the Newburgh handicap at Newbury. I focus on the last 10 running's of the Ebor at York. past 10 running's (2002-2012):
Overnight rain has changed the ground to soft and that puts grit into the gear box

3yo: 0-6-9
4yo: 2-13-78
5yo: 6-7-63
6yo+: 2-2-33
7yo+: 0-2-16
3 year olds have a fine record since 2000, winning it in 2000 and 2001 and seeing 6 of their 9 representatives in past 10 years making the places.
5 year olds have won 6 of the last 10 running's from approximately 31.67% of the runners.In the last 30 years, there have only been 2 winners aged older than 5.
You have to go back to 1979 and the great Sea Pigeon for last winner aged 7+.
Last year Willing Foe won the Ebor having run so well at Ascot last run 14 days before (7/2 fav) - Dettori rode in from the 16 box and this 5 yr old carrying 9-02 was third top improver in the field (had 3lbs in hand on its best handicap mark) having never tried this distance before and won at 12/1 (number Theory 2l behind carrying 8-13 .

Claimers (2-1-15) have ridden 2 of the last 4 winners of the Ebor.
Top weight: P80900405866 (0-1-12)
Number Theory holds that today and though decent soft ground form the stat is compelling even though 2lbs well in Was a very creditable run last year. Comes into this race in great form being fourth to Brown Panther at goodwood. last time and is 2nd rated top improver this race today -- hmmmmm

Summary:
Based on trends from the past 10 years you are looking for a horse:
· Aged 3 to 5
· Carrying 8-10 to 9-2
· Having a claimer on board is a positive only Hanoverian Baron (8 yr old) has a 5lb claimer
· Officially rated 94 to 101
· Finished in the first two in 1 of last 2 runs
· Posted highest RPR in last 2 starts
· Won a race this season (or placed in over 50% of their runs)
· Ran in a class 2 or better in the last 40 days
· Had last run at Goodwood, Ascot or Galway
Profile horses 1m6f/ 2miles - Oriental Fox (murdered at ascot last time) - Highland castle who front run and did the murder on Oriental Fox_
· Horses that won at Glorious Goodwood do well
· Run in 9 or fewer handicaps (winning no more than 4)
· Won at class 3 level or higher
· Won over 1M 4F+ (or placed in a class 1 race over 1M 4F+)
· Drawn in highest 7 stalls
· Hold up horses favored
Well this is a pretty kettle of fish to look at - decent line up and the high drawn horses to the fore in the betting
I Like the chances of Caravan Rolls On as a decent staying handicapper and ran so well at ascot last time not bred for this ground and just outside the winning top drawn boxes - at a bigger price is Highland castle better drawn and bred from Halling will not mind the ground soft
Good luck all

So lets take a peek at a few profile horses Spinatrix 5 yr old 9-01 (Drawn 1) has been raised to 100 from a mark of 95 - my rating for that race was 101 so theoretically has 1lb in hand - currently 10/1 last run was here - on g/soft ground with the brill lil claimer Colin Beasley again an ultra-competitive sprint handicap with plenty of the runners having already recorded successes at the track.
Despite being drawn in stall 10, Spinatrix somehow made her challenge down the centre of the track. It was a winning one, though, as once out in the clear she came home strongly with her rider looking stylish in the saddle. Victorious over C/Don her penultimate start, she thrives when there´s juice in the ground. so hoping that forecast rain comes early
Take a note of any money for Pearl Ice 5 yr old 8-06 (drawn 3) has won to my mark of 97 around here on g/soft and gets in well today off 91 same race won by Spinatrix ,strong in the market, showed speed to get across from the widest draw, but was only just mastering the third when Spinatrix came by. better drawn lets see if they think the ground suitable for a punt.

Louis The Pious 5 yr old 9-01 (drawn 4) off a mark of 100 and has run to a mark of 103 on g/frm ground on my ratings.only got the 7th place at goodwood but This gelding has won on fast going in the past and well suited by some ease in the ground . He was runner-up in the Stewards´ Cup consolation race at Goodwood last season, trained by David O’Meara
So what of the long shot profile horses?
well those are not that hard to find - they come from the previous years winner and or the older brigade. Damika in 2010 was 7yrs old carrying a lightweight 8-13 and a mark of 94 (having got a rating (in my book of 94 when finishing third in a haydock sprint 7 days before beaten 4L) well drawn in box 6
The one to take special notice of is Secret Witness, the only deviation is the low draw - ran a cracker off 9-10 at newmarket last time on g/frm ground is a genuine enough animal running within 7 days speed figures, well handicapped today and has that "other" side rail to help
so you place your money and take you chance - watch out for that rain - should be a thriller
good Luck

Aidan O’Brien (2-1-5) has trained the winner twice in last 6 years, both his winners were 3yos that had won an Irish Classic on previous start.
Ed Dunlop (1-1-2) trained the winner in 2001 & 2006 and had Snow Fairy to finish 2nd in 2011.
John Gosden (1-1-5) trained The Fugue to win this last year. Interestingly he has taken the same route (Rbbersdale) with today's runner Winsili who ran a superb race to get 4th (The Fuge got 2nd)

· Posted an RPR of 105+ last time
· Won a group race over 1M to 1M 2F
· Group 1 winner (placed at least)
· Finished in first 3 in Breeders Cup Filly & Mare’s Turf or Prix De L’Opera in 2012
· Finished in first 3 in an Oaks, Irish 1000, Middleton Stakes or Pretty Polly in 2013
· Trained by Michael Stoute, Lady Cecil, Aidan O’Brien, Jim Bolger or Ed Dunlop
· From first 3 in the betting (favourite does well)
So - this is a cracking race and worth the admission money but not really a betting race for big stakes - Was so taken by Michael Stoute's Integral at Sandown looked a nice prospect when making a winning debut here at Goodwood maiden back in May (second and fourth horses both won their next starts.) The most impressive aspect to this victory was that she came from last place and produced a smart turn of foot to cut down the leader inside the last. Raised into Group company now and has all the scope in the world, (The very best of her may not be seen until next year or beyond but she can take this on the way)
will be taking a chance with Gosden each way shot at 33/1 Winsili just to add flavor
Good luck All

- Trained by Dandy Nicholls, James Fanshawe, William Haggas or Robert Cowell
- Drawn 10 to 19
- Hawkeyethenoo won this last year out of the 4 box beating Shropshire by a measly 2l and that one attracts my eye this running today despite having the hoodoo draw in box 21 the hood has worked wonders for this horse the ground is right the distance right and the booking of Ryan Moore for this hard puller looks solid. York Glory is drawn low and has Spencer on board but has to give Shropshire a lot more weight today and take Shropshire to reverse form - Dinkum Diamond finished third behind these two has its ground - the right box and Cathy Gannon on board has not been penalised for that run and if Mr Candy is right has an outsnading chance to reverse the form - this quick track will suite Dinkum who performed so well in the Epsom dash Rex Imperator trained by William Haggas who has a fine record in this race ran a fine race in the wokingham and can be considered a bit of an underachiever
- Clerk of the course says temperatures could reach 24C and, combined with breezy conditions, thinks the ground could "dry out a bit" as the day progresses. BUT Knowing Goodwood going can change rapidly and the wind is blowing well there this morning a downpour could well go from g/soft to heavy - in no time at all - should that happen watch out for money coming for last years speed horse Face The Problem who can handle deep ground - on form has the right box for soft/heavy ground runs well within 10 days
