Victor’s Newmarket Cambridgeshire Meeting – Day 2 Preview – Friday September 29th 2023

Hi all,

It’s Day 2 of Newmarket’s Cambridgeshire Meeting. Like yesterday it’s another eight race card for punters to get stuck into. Unlike Thursday ITV are covering four races live from the track.

With just one handicap I wouldn’t say it’s my ideal sort of card. However, I have still taken a look at six of the eight races.

Victor’s Nottingham Preview – September 26th 2023

Hi all,

After some moderate racing on Monday. It’s better today.  At Nottingham it’s Grassroots Series Final Day. There are five finals over a variety of distances and all five races have field sizes with ten or more runners. For a Tuesday what’s not to like.  

Below are my thoughts on the five finals.

Victor’s Curragh Preview – Sunday September 24th 2023

Hi all,

Curragh hosts the most valuable race run in Britain & Ireland this weekend. There’s €600,000 in guaranteed prize money for the Irish Cesarewitch (4.10). Given the prize money on offer, not unsurprisingly a maximum field of 30 is set to meet the starter.

The ground was yielding to soft at the Curragh on Saturday. However, there’s plenty of rain forecast for Sunday afternoon at the track and if it arrives it will be much softer.

In today’s preview I have had a look at the best of the action Curragh card including and in-depth preview of the Irish Cesarewitch.

Victor’s Saturday Preview – September 22nd 2023

Hi all,

Plenty of competitive action today at Ayr where it’s the concluding day of the Western Meeting and the big betting race of the day the Ayr Gold Cup (3:35).

There’s Group 2 action at Newbury where the Mill Reef Stakes (3:15) is the centerpiece of a seven race card.

Across the Irish Sea at the Curragh there’s also Group 2 action with the Beresford Stakes. Just six have been declared with Aidan O’Brien saddling three of them.  Add in a big field 5f Premier Handicap (3:50) and Irish punters have good card to get stuck into.

ITV4 are covering the best of the action at Ayr & Newbury on a nine race programme this afternoon and its Ayr where I start Saturday’s preview.

Victor’s Thursday Preview – September 21st 2023
