Hi all,
Strong Johnson got his head in front where it mattered in a thrilling finish to the valuable Rockingham Handicap at the Curragh yesterday. Another profitable weekend for the service. Although as I tend to stress, you’re only as good as your last tip in this business.
Hopefully some of you read my Royal Ascot eyecatchers articles. If you did you would have been all over Santiago in the Irish Derby and Pogo (4/1) at Windsor on Sunday.
As I said last week, their worth a read, as there will be plenty of winners among them.
Nothing caught my eye from a betting perspective today and I doubt there will be too many bets until Saturday but watch your inbox.
The weekend action looks fantastic weather permitting. On Saturday it’s Derby Day at Epsom. The Derby & Oaks part of a seven-race card and ITV Racing will be covering the first six races.
On Sunday we have the bonus of another day’s racing being covered live on ITV. They will be broadcasting four races from Sandown, including the Group 1 Coral Eclipse which this year won’t have any of the classic generation in the field.
ITV cameras will also be at Haydock to cover three races including the Group 2 Lancashire Oaks and the Old Newton Cup, which usually attracts a decent sized field of high quality middle-distance handicappers.
Cheers
John
