I use the Horse Alert facility on www.easyodds.com (free) and get an email when a horse on the list is due to run. I've named 11 horses so far, have perhaps another 4 or 5 to add. There are not many followers to the blog, perhaps 20-30 regulars, so by having the list you are in a select bunch.Wayward Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940069760757554537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547830833655385781.post-8895866351093703022010-08-18T21:00:15.556+01:002010-08-18T21:00:15.556+01:00Great blog, Wayward Lad! Particularly impressed by...Great blog, Wayward Lad! Particularly impressed by the posts looking at the forthcoming jumps season. Haven't done anything like the work you have; a couple I want to see again include Cheltenham's (forgotten?) bumper winner Cue Card and Nicky Henderson's Punchestowns who suffered a setback just before the Festival and ripped a shoe off in the RSA Chase, a run I'm prepared to forgive. <br /><br />I also think the Alan King stable will be intent on a fast start; last season the yard was slowly into its stride, and never really recovered. Mr King lost a number of owners as a result and won't want a repeat this time around.<br /><br />Keep up a the good work!GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547830833655385781.post-3288245933624325582010-08-18T14:42:42.177+01:002010-08-18T14:42:42.177+01:00SILAAH wins @ 5/2 making it 33 wins from 103 rides...SILAAH wins @ 5/2 making it 33 wins from 103 rides for Adrian Nicholls in non-handicap races this season, compared to 13 wins from 140 rides in handicaps. Not sure about TIMES UP - was last entering the straight, then ran into a wall of horses inside the 2f-pole, finally in the clear it came with a late rattle - but too late! Probably could have gone very, very close.<br />Non-runners at Folkestone mean that the value has gone with ISOBAR now.Wayward Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940069760757554537noreply@blogger.com
