That Juddmonte International doesn’t look too shabby now. An Arc winner, Irish Champion Stakes winner, 2nd in L’Opera and a Listed win for the pacemaker! Ombudsman and Danon Decile not run since.

Danny Tudhope has 1st ride for Haslam in 13 years on Beaujolais Nouveau at Ripon in the 3:25 - interesting! Especially as Tudhope has a 25% strike rate at 6f (26w 99r) in past year. #horseracing I'm on at 16's ew (4-places)

@go4know.com Everton picked up Grealish instead
Hmm, wonder if @evertonfc.com would be a good fit?

@go4know.com this is a great formline. The top sprinters have been super consistent.

He’s a lying cunt, crime is down. So what’s his agenda? These non dom twats evade paying tax to the country that gave them everything.
Worse still are the plastic patriots that believe these traitors, more interested in vandalising our infrastructure and displaying their bigotry.

If Jim Ratcliffe wore 10 real £40,000 Rolex's on each arm, and they all got stolen, and he went into London every single day.
It would take him 5,000 days, 13.7 years, and 100,000 Rolex's to pay back the £4bn he has dodged in taxes.

In decades to come, there will be many books written about how European states with well over 500 million people and an economy more than 20 times the size of Russia and approx equal to the USA, end up a group of sad bystanders in the making of their own destiny.

Newbury 3:35 SPY CHIEF 8/1 ew
Newbury 3:00 LEADMAN 13/2 ew
Newmarket 2:05 BINHAREER 5/2
Newbury 1:50 PINHOLE 9/4 (odds have moved)
Good luck!

Finally, the 7-furlong h'cap at 3:00pm at #Newbury is a cracker - Classic & Cracking Gold are both on my alert list, but they maybe beaten by LEADMAN. He was impeded early LTO, si=o ignore that. Before that, his win on 11July is top form, and a repeat will see him hake this. Odds of 13/2, ew wager

Back to #Newbury for the next selection: another improving 3yo in the 3:35 Group 2 Hungerford Stakes over 7-furlongs, it's SPY CHIEF. The ground and trip will suit him, and he could make-all the running in this. Plenty of 8/1 so if you fear him being caught late, there's scope for an ew wager.

Next up is another rapidly improving 3yo, BINHAREER in the 2:05pm at Newmarket. This horse looks like being Group 3 ability at 6-furlongs, so racing off OR87 in this handicap should be a formality for him. There's plenty of 5/2 available #horseracing

There's some great #horseracing today. No blog from me, but here's a few thoughts. The opening race at Newbury at 1:50pm should go to the improving 3yo PINHOLE. It's difficult to see any of his 5 rivals being capable of beating him. Odds of 2/1 are available.

I might have to keep an eye on the horses owned & trained by Mr SC Williams #horseracing
Last night at #Chepstow my selection (Salamanca City) was 2nd to Crowd Quake: a horse winning for the 6th time in 8 races this season. Trainer, Mr SC Williams, gave the horse a real "Barney Curley" style intro: debut in a 2-mile NHF race, then 3 races over 5-furlongs to race off OR45. #horseracing

I'm not sure if this is correct, but if it is then @teamlabouruk.bsky.social need to be making it known
Immigration has already dropped by half under Starmer. Check it out. The media aren't telling people that. They're obsessed with people coming on boats. Starmer is tackling that problem at every point in the chain. This approach will of course be successful, but it takes time.

Both Group races at Goodwood and the Listed at Newmarket are all of interest today.
Ground on the easy side at both meetings - shouldn't be an issue.
