Friday's Fancies - OHR

**The Duke** · **22-01-09**, **11:04 PM**

After a successful day on Thursday, can we improve on that tomorrow?

Leave your thoughts below.

**Maximus Decimus Meridius** · **23-01-09**, **01:19 AM**

Morning Duke,

I've had a look through the cards and have come up with just the one selection in the 12:40 at Lingfield.

For me this is a very interesting claimer. I have shortlisted the front two horses in the market, Mutamared and Excusez Moi. Despite these being the most obvious, and perhaps, uninspired choices I think they are a class above all other opposition.

Mutamared landed his hat-trick nine days ago and I am pleased to say that I was on when he won last time out over 6 furlongs at today's track. With him being in such great form, it will be intriguing to see if he can make it four in a row over an extra furlong which I think will suit.

Having said that I will be siding with EXCUSEZ MOI who is taking a considerable drop down in class. He was highly tried in last years flat season having ran in several Group 3 races. Since then he's seen a change of yard and has ran to decent form in a couple of class 2 handicaps at Southwell.

It's refreshing to see that the new connections have now decided to take a much more realistic option with him. He steps into what can only be described as the weakest race he has ever contested in, under conditions which are bound to suit.

Excusez Moi is officially rated a massive 20lbs superior to Mutamared, but will only be conceiding 3lbs to him in the weights.

This race could be just what the doctor ordered for him to blow the cob webs away.

**The Fox** · **23-01-09**, **06:38 AM**

CHALICE WECLOME 7.50@Wolves.

In great form and has got a decent record on the all-weather, He still looks to be on a fair mark despite his penalty and Hayley Turner can steer him to victory.

**Norton** · **23-01-09**, **09:53 AM**

Won't be around during afternoon, so have my bets on now:

Wins

12.40 Ling - Excusez Moi 7/2bog
2.50 Ling - Thoughtsofstardom 6/1bog
3.40 Donc - All For The Cause 5/1bog
4.10 Donc - Western Whisky 11/2bog

Each Ways

12.50 Donc - Springvic 25/1bog
2.30 Donc - Fighting Chance 16/1bog

Good luck

**Palmersears** · **23-01-09**, **10:08 AM**

Yet another long absence posting-wise from myself, here's hoping I return with a few winners

12:40 Lingfield- Excusez Moi

17lb in hand on official ratings and stands out a mile given his Listed race win here nearly a year ago. Inconsistant to say the least since the summer, and was some way below his best in two outings in 5f/7f handicaps at Southwell, most notably on Tuesday, since leaving Clive Brittain. Despite this it appears that this surface suits him better, and back in poorer company and with Liam Jones on board, he'll go close.

3:05 Doncaster: Motarid

Hugely disappointing on his debut at Hexham when he cleared didn't fancy it but made a much better go of things with blinkers back on when narrowly beaten by a subsequent winner over C&D last month. Taking a slight chance as he's not 100% reliable yet but that latest effort has convicned me that he'll be there or thereabouts if the headgear inspires him again.

3:25 Lingfield: Stand Guard

Tricky race on paper, but I've gone for this horse who was a fast improver before the turn of year, securing a hatrick in good style at Kempton. Off a higher mark he's been unable to add to those since, but he's put in some nice efforts each time and might have done even better with a better ride lto. Handicapper is nearly on top of him, but he has solid claims.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **11:25 AM**

2.15 Lingfield - NOW YOU SEE ME (NAP)

Big place bet, also on the win at 8/1 on betfair.

**The Duke** · **23-01-09**, **11:29 AM**

Good to see the return of a few folk, fantastic news.

Like Excusez Moi myself, and have doubled it with El Dancer (1:20 Doncaster) who is fancied to go well.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **11:37 AM**

Few quid on Cmon You Irons to place at 11/8.

Three places paid on betfair (just 6 runners) so just need one of the big three not to turn up.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **11:45 AM**

Ah well, big three all ran to form, finished 4th.

**The Duke** · **23-01-09**, **11:45 AM**

Decided to go for a small each-way play on Smart Tom (12:50 Doncaster). In a race full of front runners he is one of few which will appreciate a strong pace to aim at and can come late on the scene under Sean Quinlan at a big price.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **12:17 PM**

The value has to be QUWETWO in this next at Doncaster.

Also a small bet, win and place on Harry The Hawk at big prices.

QUWETWO hacks up, cannot believe I got 5/1 on betfair.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **12:33 PM**

1.40 Lingfield - QUICK SINGLE

**skydog** · **23-01-09**, **12:41 PM**

Played with that one Thommo,won veryyy nicely.

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **12:43 PM**

Cheers, that Quick Single was terribly outpaced.

1.55 Doncaster - HILLY BILLY ROCK

80/1 to win, and 15/1 to place. Far too big. Only for a few quid mind.

**skydog** · **23-01-09**, **12:49 PM**

Won't be around for long but one I like the look of today at a big price is Some Touch 3.40 Donc. Bit risky on current form but worth a play at the price.

**The Duke** · **23-01-09**, **12:52 PM**

Autumn Harvest here small ew bet.

**The Fox** · **23-01-09**, **12:55 PM**

1.55@don - limbo king to place @1.73

**Thommo** · **23-01-09**, **12:59 PM**

What has happened to Alan Swinbank, his horses are a complete joke nowadays.

Joe Fanning failed a breath test at ling, naughty boy

This is the second time he has done this. I think I heard that he failed one about four years ago at Redcar. M Johnston should oust him from his team for this kind of behaviour. How can you fail a breathalyzer test on a Friday lunch time when you're riding horses at 30mph. Utter negligence and disregard to the health and safety of other jockeys, let alone his own.

**Corbiere** · **23-01-09**, **04:09 PM**

Bof, it only needs the tiniest trace from the night before which can show up and get them banned. It might have been the wife's birthday or summat... Joe is tiny too - there's no-where for it to go LOL

Anyway some people's bodies take longer for it to clear than others. I recall that Graded race in Sweden or somewhere last summer, when Seb Sanders failed a booze test the day after the Shergar Cup meeting - he'd prob had a glass of the course champagne as they put on a do for all participants, and then he had dinner out with his wife, nothing serious. It wasn't enough to get him a driving ban!

Jockeys used to ride half cut most of the time in the old days, esp over the sticks, and didn't fall off any more than they do now. Now there is a zero limit

Btw I'm glad I backed Mutamared before I read this thread

Any thoughts on Wolves tonight?
I've only done a few obviosu FCTs so far
