A good day for us on Saturday with Khyber Kim winning for us at what looked incredible odds. I think he had Celestial Halo covered, but it's a jumping game and ifs and buts are irrelevant at the end of the day.
Great to see Tony McCoy winning the National and the publicity generated will only be good for racing. Our man Henry's trends gave him a very favourable mention but it's the hardest race of all in which to pick the winner.
No bets today, I can't be confident enough about anything to recommend putting your hard-earned down. Just to prove we're not being lazy here at Strikeline, however, a couple of pointers below.
Andy Haynes Lady Excellentia probably represents each-way value in the Folkstone maiden. She has a good profile for an early 2yo and the stable have already had a 2yo winner this year, both his juveniles to appear knew their job well and this filly should be no different. I don't bet first time out, though, so it's passed over.
Mick Channon runs Specialising in the older horses maiden. She done nothing last year but check out Mick Channon's website (google it), it contains videos of his horses working, apparently for the owners to keep tabs on them. She worked with a much higher rated horse recently, you can see the video in the archives, and she showed up very well indeed. The work rider on the other horse looked surprised as she came upsides. My betting is based on the form book and what I see on the track only, so I can't recommend a bet, but I'd be tempted to chuck a fiver at it if she's a big price on Betfair.
Expect a bet tomorrow, before 12.30pm.
