21st March

Today marks the official opening day of the Flat season, this is my prefered code of racing. There's more I can work with in terms of the form book, form obviously, draw, weight, ground, straight course, left handed, right handed but the big plus is brreding.

Example...Last years Epsom Derby was the easiest race to pick the winner of the whole season. New Approach was 5th in the market at 7/1 having not run over 1 mile 4. One look at his family tree of Sadler's Wells & Gallieo he was bred for the Derby and won!

Lingfield is the venue for todays Winter Derby, 1 mile 2 furlongs I'm looking for a horse that will stay along the long straight, has won on Lingfield's brand of all weather surface and has shown speed in the finish.

I like Re Barolo in this, won the trial from last to first stayed very well and beating three horses who line up today, nice price also. Looking at it the favourite does not stay the distance, is a sitting duck & I'm going to take him on.

3.10 @ Lingfield

Re Barolo €100 back @ 6
Premio Loco €50 lay @ 3.45

Good Luck folks....next week I shall be coming to you from Dubai where I shall be attending the Dubai World Cup carnival.
