Daily Horse Racing \ Tipping thread

Art Dzeko runs on Wednesday at Catterick.

A few question marks: Stepped up to 7F for the first time (though the intention was always to step him up in trip this year), don't fully know what ground he likes (but all indications are he wants cut) and obviously hasn't won yet in 5 starts. Still a bit green, jockey reported after his last run he was reluctant to go past horses but after a few cracks he got the point and ran on well.

Looks a weak race to me, not a lot of form in the race, we think he is very well handicapped. Drawn 10, which if memory serves is on the outside of the round course, but I might be wrong there. There have been winners drawn high over 7F so I don't think its an issue. He is well thought of at the yard.

I'd be very disappointed if he didn't win it.
 
The last major jumps festival starts tomorrow in Punchestown with both Sir Des Champs and Sizing Europe in action both should win hands down. Some top class racing and money on offer that i am surprised there hasnt been more UK horses sent over for it.

Got a tip for tomorrow in the bumper called Catamongdepidgeons in the 6.05. Heard some great reports at the weekend about it and they feel they have every chance. Also with the amount of rain we had today and whats forecasted for tomorrow by the time they go off it will be more than likely soft to heavy ground.

Would normally be all over the Punchestown festival but with the ground going to be heavy i might give it a miss. Trying to pick a winner in 20 runner races is hard enough without the extra bit of heavy ground which over half the field wont go on. Sizing Europe will hack up as will Sir De Champs so might just have a big double on those.
 
To be honest with the weather forecast its going to be a festival for soft horses for the first 2 days. Now at the moment the rain has stopped and the sun is shining and it will get a bit of drying out over night tomorrow showers are predicted so it could be they get lucky and dont get any more rain. In a ideal world it would be perfect conditions but thats the Irish weather for you.

They are going to get another 50ml of rain over the next couple of days and the ground is already soft to heavy so theres no doubt it will be heavy ground by Wednesday at the latest.
 
I dont think it will get as heavy as you expect it to get. Maybe a few years ago but there drainage system they put in has helped it with bad rain in the past so heres hoping its not going to get too heavy during the week.

If the drainage was so good then it wouldnt be described as heavy now. If you are having a bet then it will be a case of sticking a pin in.
 
Looking forward to startos oreders 5, SO4 has went funny on my PC and no amount of deleting and downloading it again seems to help, bit of a downer after 28 seasons but when I was on the site I noticed the advert for the new one and thought I would start afresh with that.
 
Just a further note on Art Dzeko if anyone is interested.

They forecast a shit load of rain over Catterick. It might even turn the going heavy.

I don't know how he will respond to very soft ground, he likes cut, but considering he is stepping up in trip, id be nervous if it was too soft, purely because we don't know the limits of his stamina. That sort of ground is like an extra furlong.

If anyone is betting, use the above as you please...
