I’m going on The Game
Aug 16th, 2008 by Bert
Some interesting racing today, including a couple of runners for me. Lilac Moon goes in the last at Newmarket and Pansy Potter in the 4:25 at Newbury.
Tom Dascombe runs a couple of likely types today, and they may both be worth following. Blakfrankisch runs in the first at Newbury, and is ridden by Michaela Sowerby. Michaela is a quality pair of hands at this level and she knows the horse well. Blakfrankisch may be better suited by the conditions here than his previous win at this track and he’s been aimed at this race for a while.
The Game runs at Newmarket at 3:30 and could be value to follow up in this valuable handicap. Tom is good at firing up flagging handicappers, and if he’s done the trick here he may be able to go in again.
Pansy runs in the 4:25 and Brian is very positive. He’s running her in blinkers because he tried it on the gallops and it made a world of difference to her - I’m expecting her to run a big race. I’ll have an each way saver on her, but she has a job on to beat Glen Molly who finished second behind the imperious Marine Boy two weeks ago. If you take Marine Boy out of the race then Glen Molly would have been a 3 length winner with another three lengths back to third, and would now be odds on to beat this lot. She should win.
To make up the yankee I’ll include Lilac Moon, who is in the form of her life and should go well in the conditions. The first four races I had her she was drawn 13. She was drawn 8 of 8 last time and she’s drawn 12 of 12 today - it’s freaky stuff. 12 is a good draw though as she’ll have the rail - no doubt we’ll try to make all as usual and RK is riding in great form at the moment.

Agree with your sentiments Mr Black, have just lumped on both Toms nags. I’ve also picked out all the winners in the million pound scoop 6, I plan to announce on the morning line next week that with my winnings I’d like Tom to invest in a lovely type for me…. don’t worry I’ll give your blog a mention on air as well. Maybe you could help me choose the animal!!!
Footy today, I’d like to thank betfair multiples for 11-10 on Arsenal, Man utd, Chelsea multiple. Palace away to Preston and we need a win.
Happy punitng gents
Thanks for the heads up Bert, much appreciated.
I see Mr Nevison is tipping up MB on weds, against his own runner. Strong looking field though and standing at 22 entries at moment, had a look at previous fields and seems around 8 to 10 runners is normal. I wonder how many will come out.
Well Done Andrew with the Lilac Moon.
I have to say that Richard gave it a brilliant ride, very intelligent, pace and track position. Deserved the win.
WD all round.
Hats off Bert, Lilac Moon is such a game filly and agree with HQQ, top ride by Mr Kingscote.
Best
Blimey Bert…. thank god for Lilac Moon… bailed me out of a terrible day with both of Toms going down. Sincere thanks for the nod.
Yipee for Glen Molly! Her win really stamps MBs form. Looking forward to York.
Well done with LM.
what a trier she is great ride also well done bert
Well done all.
Well done, went against ur advice on Pansy but heeded ur remarks about Glen Molly got a nice double with LM. While in the bookies,I lumped on Yani Tseng @ 7/2 in the Canadian open who still had 8 holes to play in the 2nd round and was 2 behind the leader, shes now 4 clear going into the final round…’Happy Days’.
Not bragging but i have funally decided to go fulltime pro with neRNINGS OF ROUGHLY 40K UPWARDS AND THE CHANCE OF MA BIG ONE. Plus i like to prove i mcan beat the book 7/10 times. What a life eh racing in the norning and my own boss. It didnt come east thio as i had to have a good understabd=ing of value.
Anyone who sits in a bookies bettimnh thjeir wages on singles race to rACE WILL NEVER WIN AND WILL PROBABLY LOSE IT ALL BELIEVE ME HONSTLY.
gOOD LUCK AKK
