End Of Season/Breeders Cup

So here we are November and we have had the final flat meeting of the season at Doncaster yesterday and is was a tough looking card but we successfully managed to finish in profit with Collateral Damage winning at 11/1ADV and The Galloping Shoe finishing 4th at 20/1!
We had a reasonably successful season and hopefully we can only do one thing next year and that is improve!

Breeders cup!
What a fantastic couple of nights of racing we had on friday and saturday, we saw conduit romp past his rivals in good style and goldikova stamping her authority aswell.
Sadly us Europeans didnt come out on top they beat us 6-8 this year, mastercraftsman, lillie langtry and rip van winkle all disappointed but we did see something amazing in the classic and something I wont ever forget Zenyatta beating the boys in the classic unbelievable! She is basically americas version of Sea The Stars!
If you didnt get a chance to watch this make sure you watch all the replays on AtTheRaces.com website because they were some of the best races u'l ever watch and well worth half an hour of your time.

All-Weather
The all weather now kicks into full swing with a meeting nearly everyday and 2 some days and it looks like there could be some useful sorts coming through the ranks and certainly I have on my watch list is La Gifted, Weet A Surprise, Lesleys Choice and many more. I feel we are in for a good season but for me the countdown to The Lincoln Meeting starts today!

Good luck

Little Upate

Sorry for the lack of updates again its just been mad, but the racing starts to calm down for the winter now and work also calms down this time of year.

Mainly just spend the time making fresh beds for the turkeys and fencing fields for sheep along with feeding and check them daily otherwise its fairly quiet until last week of november where it is full steam ahead with getting sheds ready for kiling starting normally second week of december then its mad until christmas eve!

As far as racing the flat turf really has got my struggling at the end of the season with several disappointing efforts and this week will see the season wrap up at doncaster on saturday with 1 or 2 meetings this week in what will be testing conditions looking at the weather.
The jump season is well under way now but personally it doesnt excite me much and tend to struggle to find too many bets so its all down to the all weather which recently has seen a turn of fortune this week after a massively disappointing week previously and with the turf finishing we should see a bit more consistency etc over the winter months from here on in so fingers crossed plenty of betting opportunities.

Have good week, good luck!
