victor chandler Challenge Stakes (Group 2)
(CLASS 1) (3yo+) 7f

2/1 Delegator, 5/1 Red Jazz, 10/1 Mabait, 10/1 Main Aim
12/1 Cat Junior, 12/1 Dream Eater, 16/1 High Standing
20/1 Duff, 20/1 Himalya, Shakespearean, 25/1 Harrison George 25/1 Sir Gerry, 33/1 Golden Stream, 50/1 Blue Angel.

* The Challenge Stakes is a Group race over 7f
* There are 20 renewals since 1990
* 18 of the 20 winners had between 9 and 14 career runs
* Horses with 13 or more starts struggled
* The only ones that won had Grade 1 form before
* Male 3 year olds are just 1-37 with 13 or more runs
* No 3 year old has won this down in distance

SHORTLIST

* DELEGATOR has 1 run this season
* A Few past winners had 2 runs but none had 1
* Thats the biggest problem he faces
* BLUE ANGEL has a surprisingly good profile
* She is very similar to the 2007 winner
* She is  close to 2 other winners
* In a race of shocks she could be interesting
* 3 Year Old fillies with 7-12 career starts
* Finishing 1-2-3-4 last time
* At least 6 runs this season
* These horses had a 4-6 record in this race
* The last 2 that won (2007 and 2000) were 20/1
* BLUE ANGEL is a possibly shock  winner.

It looks a ridiculous shout to go with BLUE ANGLE who
is 50/1 and more on Betfair and multiple bookmakers but the last 10 renewals have
seen horses win a 20/1 20/1 20/1 20/1 and 16/1 and they
were impossible to find as well so she may be able to nick
a place. I’m not keen on any of the alternatives so with a
risk of making myself look stupid I will go with her.

Definately more chance of losing with this bet than winning with it but the name of the game is long term edge and at 50/1 I sniff some value.

Racing Tip At York

Not our main full member bet of the day but we have a piece from our extra race analysis section for you.

YORK 2.45

Coral Stakes (Handicap) (CLASS 4) (3yo+ 0-85)  2m2f

7/4 Descaro, 5/1 Head Hunted, 6/1 Tillietudlem, 8/1 Nemo Spirit 10/1 Act Of Kalanisi, 10/1 Dubara Reef, 10/1 Dulcie
12/1 Bollin Judith, 14/1 Sphinx, 25/1 Folk Tune.

* This is a Handicap over 18f for 0-82 rated horses
* October has had 41 handicaps like this over 17f-18f
* There were 85 similar races between September – November
* Horses from 13f or shorter had a 2-72 record
* None of these were exposed (0-22)
* None from 12f races were aged 5 or more (0-35)
* No horse doing had 8st 12lbs or more
* FOLK TUNE comes from 12f and fails all those angles
* NEMO SPIRIT also comes from 13f
* No horse managed that when aged 5 or more like him
* No horse managed that with his weight as well
* Aged 5 with only runs this season would worry me
* I think that and his weight and jump in trip hurt him
* I dont see him overcoming all those factors
* There was only 1 winner aged 9 or more
* SPHINX is surely too old as a 12 year old
* Especially with a 188 day absence as well
* DULCIE is a filly with 2 runs this season
* No filly won without at least 5 runs that season
* DULCIE looks underraced for a filly
* ACT OF KALANISI is a 4yo Male
* 4 year old males with 13 or more career starts are just 1-43
* Those running like him within a month were 0-35
* Those like him coming from 16f or shorter were 0-33
* ACT OF KALANISI doesnt come out well
* Its the Fillies aged 4 that do well in these races
* Male 4 year olds have a much weaker record
* I looked at 85 races between September and November
* I looked at Male 4 year olds coming from 14f or less
* Those that had 4 or more career starts were 0-53
* ACT OF KALANISI has a weak profile in my view
* TILLIETUDLEM  is a exposed 4yo Male
* In 41 similar races in October these types are 0-10
* I did find 3 winners like him in September races
* They all had more backclass than he does
* All 3 winners all ran within 2 weeks and he doesnt
* TILLIETUDLEM was beaten easily by DESCARO last time
* Even on better weight terms he will do well to reverse that form
* This is a harder race and he could well lack the class
* There is no encouragement from his profile
* DUBARA REEF is 3 and comes from a 3yo handicap
* Plenty of 3 year olds won like that with 7-12 starts
* None had 13 or more runs and DUBARA REEF has 14 runs
* DUBARA REEF is more exposed than ideal for a 3yo
* 3 year olds like him from 3yo handicaps over 14f won 2 races
* Those with 9 or more starts doing that were 0-9
* He really needs a few less runs to be ideal

POSSIBLES

* DESCARO is a exposed 4yo Male
* In 41 similar races in October these types are 0-10
* I did find 3 winners like him in September races
* They all had far more runs this year than he does
* They all had a lot more backclass as well
* All 3 winners all ran within 2 weeks and he doesnt
* That said he stays and won very easily last time
* Since running over longer trips he has looked progressive
* He probably has a far better chance than the stats imply
* This is a harder race though and he will be tested

SHORTLIST

* BOLLIN JUDITH is a 4yo filly with 19 career starts
* Fillies aged 4 with 13 or more starts were 3-18
* Those with 9st or lower running with 7 weeks are 3-13
* BOLLIN JUDITH has a good profile
* All her wins are on faster ground at 14f
* She stays 15f on soft ground seems to be fine
* She is from a stamina laden family but will she stay
* Interesting all 3 renewals of this race went to a Filly
* There are some concerns about trip and ground
* She has been underestimated for me in the betting
* I most fear Head Hunted in this race
* HEAD HUNTED is 3 and comes from a 2m handicap
* 3 year olds with that profile and 7-12 runs are 5-33
* Statistically he has a reasonable profile
* HEAD HUNTED has to show he stays

SPLIT STAKE BET

Rainfall Expected at Newmarket

Saturday October 2nd

Newmarket 3.00

RAINFALL 7/1

8/1 bet365Tote
15/2 Skybet – VC
7/1 betfred -Blue SquareBoyleSports -Corals -PaddyPower

NEWMARKET 3.00

Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes
(Group 1) (Fillies & Mares) (CLASS 1)(3yo+) 1m

4/1 Music Show, 4/1 Sahpresa, 11/2 Seta, 11/2 Strawberrydaiquiri 6/1 Spacious,
7/1 Rainfall, 14/1 Aviate, 33/1 Alsace Lorraine 33/1 Hen Night, 33/1 Sent From Heaven, 40/1 Lahaleeb.

The Sun Chariot Stakes has 10 past renewals as a Group 2
or Group 1 race. In these races horses beaten more than 4
lengths last time out were 0-30 in this race.
All winners of this race were either 3 or 4 year olds.
SAHPRESA has that against her. If you look at horses with only 1-2-3 runs this season you found 2 winners.
None were aged 4 or more and None had 9 or more career starts and SAHPRESA fails both those angles.
Horses like SPACIOUS with 13 or more starts struggled.
Only 1 past winner had that many runs and that was only a 3 year old.
STRAWBERRYDAIQUIRI has been absent a while and I can’t match her.
AVIATE drops from  a 10f race and needed to have won last time to have been like any past winner.
I would shortlist 3 horses in this. It’s hard to ignore MUSIC SHOW or SETA and both look like big runners.
That said 3 year olds like MUSIC SHOW and SETA coming from an 8f race only had a 1-25 record
and  that winner was less exposed than MUSIC SHOW and was lighter raced than both.
I prefer RAINFALL from these 3.

* Horses aged 3
* Coming from a 7f race
* Form in Group 1 of Group 2 races
* 4 or more runs that season
* There were 3 horses with that profile in this race
* All 3 horses won in 2000 2006 and 2007
* RAINFALL has that profile
* Admittedly none 7 runs that season they all had 4-5-6 runs
* None tried though with 7 runs though and I’m overlooking that
* RAINFALL each way is my bet

I think she has been underestimate in a nicely frame race
and horses with very similar profiles were W W W in the
race so I see her as a very interesting runner.
She has one or two lengths to find with a couple of these but
that’s not impossible especially on this ground and I think
she has a serious chance of beating these from the best age group.

Great St Wilfrid

The Saturday before the big festival at York and that means
Great St Wilfrid day at Ripon.
This year it will be run on soft ground like most of the races today.

I have tried to sort out the Great St Wilfrid a fascinating race today.
It’s a  tough sprint so wont be easy  to get right but as the major race today
I know many of you want an opinion on it.

RIPON 3.30

(CLASS 2) (3yo+) 6f

3/1 Tajneed,  8/1 Rileyskeepingfaith 8/1 Tiddliwinks

16/1 Quest For Success 20/1 Damika, 20/1 Fullandby
25/1 Novellen Lad 40/1 Everymanforhimself.

* There are 57 similar Class 2 handicaps in August
* Horses beaten 10 lengths or more last time were 0-67
* EVERYMANFORHIMSELF fails that
* Horses beaten 6 lengths or more are interesting
* I looked at 57 similar handicaps in August

* Those with 1-2-3-4 runs that year doing that were 0-111
* JOHANNES – KNOT IN WOOD fail that
* HITCHENS -NOVELLEN LAD  also fail that
* Those beaten that far over 7f or more last time were 0-61

* FAVOURITE GIRL fails that

* In 56 other races fillies from 5f races were 0-31
* PAVERSHOOZ also fails that
* In 56 other races horses from 5f needed a recent run
* Those absent more than 2 weeks were 2-109
* Those with 13 or more runs were 0-92
* PAVERSHOOZ fails that
* Exposed horses won 9 of the 18 renewals
* Those exposed and aged 5 were 0-76
* PAVERSHOOZ -NOVELLEN LAD fail that
* HITCHENS is also an exposed 5yo (0-76)
* QUEST FOR SUCCESS is an exposed 5yo
* I see him having the worst draw as well
* Those exposed and carrying 8st 11lbs or less were 1-125
* FULLANDBY -NOVELLEN LAD -  PAVERSHOOZ fail that
* Exposed horses aged 8 or more won 1 renewal
* That horse had past Group form and 9 + runs this season
* He also ran within 7 days
* FULLANDBY looks underaced for an 8yo
* KNOT IN WOOD looks underaced for an 8yo
* I looked at 56 similar handicaps
* Exposed horses aged 8 were 3-101
* Those with under 9 runs that season were 0-65
* That reinforces negatives for FULLANDBY – KNOT IN WOOD
* Exposed horses from 6f handicaps were 5-153 in this race
* None of these were aged 4 (0-25) or 5 (0-46)
* RILEYSKEEPINGFAITH fails that aged 4
* No past winner came from an 8f race
* None did it in any of the 56 other races
* SIGNOR PELTRO fails that
* 3 year olds won 2 races but none were Male
* 3yo Males are 0-28 in this race
* LOWDOWN fails that
* I looked at 3yo males in 56 other races
* They had a 1-93 record
* Those 3yo Males with 9 + runs were 0-64
* LOWDOWN looks opposable on that front
* 3 year olds with under 13 runs were 0-25 in this race
* MIDNIGHT MARTINI fails that
* In 56 other races 3yo fillies with under 13 runs were 1-17
* That winner was slightly different coming from a 3yo handicap
* I wouldnt entirely rule her out though
* Horses aged 7 or more had a 3-73 record
* Those with under 9 runs that year were 0-33
* I looked at 56 similar races for 7 year olds

* None had 1-2-3-4 runs that season
* JOHANNES fails that and has just 4 runs
* ADVANCED  fails that and has just 4 runs
* TAJNEED  fails that and has just 4 runs

SHORTLIST

* MIDNIGHT MARTINI is just shortlistable
* DAMIKA is 7 years old but shortlistable
* He has a recent run and is fit enough with backclass
* TIDDLIWINKS is an unexposed 4 year olds
* 4 year olds with 13-20 runs and a run in 2 weeks did well
* Those beaten under 3 lengths were 3-8
* Those from 6f handicaps are 2-6
* These 3 horses all have that profile
* TIDDLIWINKS has that profile

THE DRAW

* Since 2006 Ripon has 23 of these races with 13 + runners
* The recent winners came from these stalls
* 6 13 15 10 15 11 11 14 11 10 5 11 12 22 15 4 3 12 6 15
* Horses draw 1-2 had a 0-46 record
* Horses drawn 16 or more had a 1-55 record
* That clearly shows a middle draw is best

SELECTION

Split Stake Bet

DAMIKA 20/1 looks overpriced and underestimated
( now best priced 18/1 CanBet VC bet365 )

TIDDLIWINKS 10/1  bet365 Ladbrokes Skybet

For best current odds see
http://mathematician-betting.bestbetting.com/horse-racing/2010-08-14/ripon/15-30/betting/

I think Tiddliwinks  has the outstanding profile. He made massive
improvement on the sand a year ago which has left him
well handicapped on Grass. He hasnt won yet on turf but
I dont see that as important as his last 2 runs show there
is serious ability on Grass. His last 3 runs were interesting.
He wont have been fit at York in July.
He did nothing at all wrong at York in the Skybet Dash when 4th
when he still might have needed the run.
Last time at Goodwood he had a horrible draw and still managed a creditable 4th.
The ground is an issue as he is not proven on soft ground but he has not
shown he doesnt handle it.
His Dam won on soft and placed on Heavy.
His father won on softer ground and has bred many that have done as well.
I’d risk it as I dont see a better profile in this race.
