ST VALENTINES DAY AT ASCOT RACES SATURDAY 14th FEBRUARY 2015

Ok so it's not as romantic as flowers and chocolates but who needs all that romance nonsense anyway, why not get the train to Ascot and sample Berkshire hospitality in the full knowledge that it's FREE !

Yeah come on down...you might even get lucky (and find a winner). The 7 race card begins at 1.30pm with a novice hurdle event, I'd like to see if TEA FOR TWO [Nick Williams] makes the final declaration and as Nicky Henderson has 5 horses in at the moment it's possible he'll keep SPECIAL AGENT in mind as his owner also happens to own the racecourse (but as I write this he's just finished 2nd at Chepstow (Wed)).

Our Selections will appear here on Friday for Saturdays event. 

1:30 -- 2m 3f 110yds Novices Hurdle -- Well as mentioned earlier TEA FOR TWO does appear here, only 4 declared which is bizzare given the early entries. Henderson keeps one in but it's FOREVER FIELD which is a bit unfancied in the market. [2nd 4/9F] Too short for me.


2:05 -- 3m Novices Chase -- AINSI FIDELES. [WON 6/1]


2:40 -- 3m Listed Handicap Chase -- CLONDAW KNIGHT [2nd 10/3]

3:15 -- 2m 3f 110yds Handicap Hurdle -- DIAMOND KING [Pulled up 6/1]


3:50 -- 2m 5f 110yds Ascot Chase -- PTIT ZIG [FELL 6/4F]


4:20 -- 2m Novices Hurdle -- VINNIE RED [5th 25/1]


4:50 -- 2m Open NH Flat Race -- JOE FARRELL [7th 5/2F]


An even-steven sort of day, good start with the Pipe horses winning comfortably, didn't back the odds on fav in the opener and it lost anyway, will look to resume winning ways on Wednesday at Kempton. 

Have a great weekend all.
