No holiday for the horses
Jul 21st, 2008 by Mick
Bert is sunning himself in Sardinia for the next couple of weeks but he is likely to have several runners while away and he asked me to keep blog readers informed.
First up is Pansy Potter who makes her debut in Windsor€™s 7:20 this evening and will be looking to provide The Comic Strip Heroes (Bert, Ed Wray and Ed€™s brother Jeremy) with their first winner of the season. Their two year olds have disappointed so far and hopes of uncovering another as good as Winker Watson look to rest with those, like PP, who have yet to appear. She is a third foal, all by Auction House, and her two full siblings both won at two, though not first time out. Her Group 2 entry at York next month is an indication of the initial impression she made and a she could run well from a decent draw this evening. However, as she€™s one of a dozen seeing the racecourse for the first time, it€™s difficult to assess her chance and I doubt Bert will be lumping on from the beach.
Parisian Gift runs at Yarmouth to-morrow (4:55). Bert only owns a small share of this one (half a leg). I also own a bit of him as do a couple of people from Betfair and a few friends. Since this particular venture was my idea I€™m particularly keen for the horse to do well. All started well with a win at Lingfield last December €“ just a week after we bought him. He was then given a rest with dreams of a 2008 campaign that would see sufficient improvement to warrant a crack at Royal Ascot€™s Britannia Handicap. His first run this season at Doncaster was a big disappointment and he was subsequently unwell. Now, nearly ten weeks on, he seems fine and we are hoping that he can progress. The bullishness the partnership felt over the winter has been tempered by things not running smoothly this year but Tom Dascombe reports that he has been working well and fingers are firmly crossed for a bold show.
More news as the decs unfold.

Good luck with the geegees. Looks like it might be a lovely evening for Windsor.
Unlucky with Parisian Gift. :-(.
Pansy Potter was well down the field yesterday but Parisian Gift ran a very decent race and was only beaten a neck. This Tom Dascombe seems to have some very nice nags in his yard!
Pansy Potter ran pretty green and was allowed to come home in her own time once it was clear that she wouldn’t figure. She’s entered again at Windsor next Monday.
We were pleased that Parisian Gift showed his Doncaster running to be all wrong and he may well have beaten the winner today if the draw had been reversed. Tom has now had 22 winners, 20 seconds and 12 thirds from 99 runners on the flat this year and we’re hopeful that Parisian Gift can add to that tally in the coming weeks.
Just a little bit of my wisdom on hoe to definitely make money on golf and a lot of it if you stick to your guns and lay a bit out…..especially you Bert as if i had your money i could permiate the players i follow and have studied very very very closely on the Nationwide Pga Tour.
Ready …
COLT KNOST AVAIL 25-1
GEG CHALMERS 33/1 … a winner already and just a matter of time before going in again.
KYLE RIEFFERS …. same applies again.
iI am going to put all thse players in with certain players on other tours at reasonable prices knowing that there is a strong chance on of thses three will win only needing my other selection to win for a five figure sum. I am letting you know this now so when i do win it is not like closing the stable door after the sheep has bolted so as to speak. Obviousley youneed to lay a little bit out but the rewards WILL come honestly.
So there you av it.
Good day
