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 ninth 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 -52.945 points to SP returns overall. We continue to battle hard to reduce this and thankfully there is still a few months to get this back.
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 meeting we managed to get another two odds on favourites beat so we are now 35/48 (72.9%+) we will continue with this through 2019.
This Wednesday will be meeting number twenty nine for the 2019 AW season and we are expecting a bumper eight race card tonight during which we expect to have five handicaps (which will include two 2yo nurseries) and will also have the Hyde Stakes a Listed event over one mile off at 18:10 to enjoy which should keep us plenty busy enough. The action which will now commence at 16:10 with a 7f nursery handicap contest and tonight's card ends around about 19:40 with our final handicap contest over a shade under 1m 3f.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARDHere are our handicap selections for tonight, time is short and too many work meetings so selections only today until later;
16:10 -- 7f Nursery Handicap (2yo).
An earlier start today with a packed card and this begins with our first Nursery contest over seven furlongs. A maximum field of fourteen declared and Mark Johnston has our first selection with RULERS KINGDOM [5th 7/1] was 100/1 shot earlier in his career but a relatively low handicap mark and the record breaking trainer can be expected to have worked some magic in the past few weeks before sending him down south, only faded in the final 100yds and entitled to have learnt from that experience in Newcastle and James Doyle takes the ride from Joe Fanning. The filly MAGICAL FORCE [7th 9/1] only just lost by a neck last time out and while she has an extra furlong to contend with this time it could be to her advantage and worth a chance at the price in a reasonable open race.
16:40 -- 6f Nursery Handicap (2yo).
Another 2yo nursery now this time over six furlongs with a field of twelve declared, a couple that were runners up last time out might be able to find that little extra tonight with that experience under their belts, YOU DON'T OWN ME [WON 4/1] ridden by Charles Bishop, placed twice here before his runner up effort at Wolves, while COMEATCHOO [4th 16/1] was also beaten late on by 1/2L and has the assistance of a 7lb claimer so could be a few pounds ahead of things if they can get a similar effort out of them tonight.
18:10 -- 1m Hyde Stakes (Listed).
The feature event today over a mile is a listed event, not too many of these here on Wednesday nights so has been included as a nice change. Decent field declared too (14 runners) and £25k on offer to the winner, headed by Royal Ascot runner ACCIDENTAL AGENT [3rd 12/1] though still has a question mark against him because of a refusal to leave the stalls earlier in the campaign. I was on LUSH LIFE [8th 100/1] when she won at Sandown in May hasn't run up to that since, but at 33/1 is a win/place bet again here for trainer Jamie Osborne down below that winning mark for a change and gets plenty of weight too. The one to consider for the win bet is KHUZAAM who took a course handicap last month by 7L and could be a step ahead of the rest still, if he repeats that effort against this opposition could have the race won with a fair bit left to go will be interesting to see what price he opens up as in the betting and if it's smashed into (was odds on for that handicap win).
18:40 -- 1m 7f 218y Handicap.
A decent (class 2) stayers contest now, worth over £15k to the winner, and has attracted a field of nine. Only the one course and distance winner in the line up so we will consider BUSY STREET [2nd 14/1] his win here came in March this year and was also runner up repeatedly most notably at Ascot in July a neck behind Saroog there so that's not too bad. SOVEREIGN DUKE [Non Runner] is lightly raced for a stayer, won here over mile but has improved for the step up to this sort of trip a runner up at Newmarket before being outclassed in the Cesarawitch there too this is a massive step down in grade and is respected.
19:10 -- 1m 3f 219y Handicap.
A fairly ordinary handicap now where we will focus on a pair of previous course and distance winners in ILHABELA FACT [7th 16/1] (A Carroll) who won two races of this nature in February but hasn't been seen out since May along with SIR PRIZE [2nd 5/1] (D Ivory) has been much busier this year, ran six consecutive times here winning three of them going up in the weights as a result but is still running competitively and another big run is expected tonight.
Our finale tonight, we will pick a couple of 3yo's against the field with PECKINPAH [12th 13/2] / SLADE KING [6th 7/2].
Staked -- 12 points.
Returns -- 6 points.
Results will appear here later during Wednesday evening. This season we are sadly down by -52.945 points to SP returns. Now only another month of the season to go and we will end up with an additional meeting here for the King George Chase on Boxing Day.
LAYS -- 35/48. Got our lay bets beat again last week and we will try to find another one or two successful lay bets this time around and these will show up here later on tonight. Got them both beat again at short prices moves us to 37/50 (74%) now.
Tonight's Lays;
17:10 - LAPSES LINGUAE (6f Novice 2yo) LOST 2nd 13/8.
17:40 - CRANBERRY (1m Novice 2yo) LOST 3rd 10/11F.
Our thirtieth meeting for this year will be held next week on Wednesday 27th November so hope to see you then and throughout the rest of 2019. Maybe we'll be back next year...
