Coming down to the final few months of this annual theme, was hopeful of a more productive second half to the year but we struggling a little. Still time though till end 2019.
Here we are into October and as my friends continue with their Halloween preparations I am just trying to find my winter gear as the weather has taken a sudden downturn. Shame to witness the equine superstar ENABLE get beaten by Waldgeist in the Arc at Longchamp over the weekend, away from the horse racing the Rugby World Cup continues in the mornings where I have enjoyed most of the games especially seeing England making it through to the next stages with their final group game against France next weekend still to go. AFC Wimbledon finally found their goal scoring boots and won for the first time in 12 games beating Rochdale 3-2 at home last Saturday, we will have another chance to register a rare win this coming Saturday when they travel to fellow relegation candidates Southend United.
Has been a very up and down year overall not just with the racing though the last month was encouraging so with the Autumn and Winter months to come we will continue to focus on the all weather horse racing now while the lights still shine brightly here at Kempton Park throughout this year. We are hopeful of better season than we experienced last year but it's just some fun and excitement to mix up the week we have found it hard and are more than a little behind to SP though it's something I will keep persevering with through to the end of the year.
Let us move onward with this our twenty fourth Wednesday night of 2019, and will continue to focus on the handicap contests for each Wednesday evening meeting though we will also occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too if there is one available. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1 point level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds than this but for the purpose of these results here we simply record SP returns only. Following our last meeting the deficit is currently on -34.23 points to SP returns overall. We continue to battle hard to reduce this and thankfully there is still plenty of time to get this back on track.
Throughout the year we will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of anticipated short priced favourites too. Naturally we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures we have been fairly successful with our selections so far and last time got another pair of favourite selection beaten which means we are now 28/39 (71%+) we will continue with this through 2019.
This Wednesday will be meeting number twenty four for the 2019 AW season and we are expecting an eight race card tonight as the opening novice event has been divided and we have FOUR handicap races to review which should keep us plenty busy enough. The action which will now commence at 16:35 with the first division of the seven furlong novice contest for 2yo's and our first handicap will be off at 18:10 tonight's card ends around about 20:10 with our final handicap contest for the sprinters over six furlongs.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARDHere are our handicap selections for tonight;
18:10 -- 1m 2f 219y Handicap.
A field of 14 runners chasing a win prize of just under £6500, looking at those drawn in the low numbered stalls steers me towards FINAL ROCK [10th 14/1] from Sir Mark Prescott who has struggled a little of marks in the 80s so has been dropped a little and this track might be more to his liking. Along with GERANIUM [5th 6/1] this 4yo filly has won twice and been runner up twice in last four starts, could still make them all go and at 10/1 looks a fair price with the no 1 draw.

19:10 -- 7f Handicap.
19:40 -- 7f Handicap.
Thirteen to consider for this class 3 event, nearly all have some sort of course/distance form and are headed by INTUITIVE a 3yo gelding for James Tate, won last time at Chelmsford but now 10lb higher so probably opposable in this field. Oisin Murphy rides GENTLE LOOK [11th 11/2] for Godolphin and trained by S Bin Suroor might be the answer at a course the jockey runs well at. At a bigger price we could play the place market with TURN N TWIRL [3rd 12/1] a winner here two runs back and the 3yo filly might be worth a second look.
Another 7f handicap event, headed by DELILAH PARK [2nd 13/2] a dual winner here this year and should run well even with top weight. INDIAN VICEROY [6th 9/1] with Oisin Murphy on board is another versatile type likely to run another big race around here and support should be noted.
We end tonight with a 6f sprint, and a field of twelve declared, headed by GARTH ROCKETT who like many in this has a chance but we are going in with the pair of MAD ENDEAVOUR [5th 14/1] and DANDILION [4th 17/2] for our friend Thore Hammer Hansen. This 6yo (the horse not the jockey) has won and been placed off higher marks and with the claimers 5lb allowance should be bang there with a good ride.
Staked -- 8 points.
Returns -- 0.0 points.
Results will appear here later during Wednesday evening. This season we are sadly down by -34.23 points to SP returns. Now only three more months of the season to go and we will end up with an additional meeting here for the King George Chase on Boxing Day. No joy tonight, some places, no wins, gutted. Down -42.23 now.
LAYS -- 28/39. Another pair of successful lay bets last time around and will see if we can find one or two short priced selections to post here if we have any for tonight. Sometimes laying favourites fails, like tonight when two won, oh well. 28/41 now.
Our twenty fifth meeting for this year will be held on Wednesday 16th October so hope to see you then and throughout the rest of 2019 too.
