Can they follow that? A 40/1 Podcast winner from overseas last weekend but this week Sean and Ron discuss racing much closer to home.

For those hard of hearing and unable to tune in these are the words from Ron's side of the conversation, with selections from both himself, and Sean Trivass

PODCAST 26/11/21

SATURDAY

NEWBURY 12-10

I’D NOT WANT TO BE WORKING WITH ANYTHING OLDER THAN A SIX YEAR OLD AS HORSES SIX OR YOUNGER HAVE WON ALL NINE PREVIOUS RUNNING’S OF THIS RACE.

AS EVERYTHING CARRIES 11ST OR MORE IT’S THE MARKETS WE GO TO FOR THE BEST CLUE AND THAT BEING NO HORSE OUTSIDE THE FRONT THREE ON THE TISSUE TO DATE, HAS WON THIS.

THE EARLY TISSUE THEREFORE SUGGESTS ONE OF

NINA THE TERRIER

ELLE EST BELLE

AHORSEWITHNONAME

….WINS IT.

ALAN KING TRAINS THE CURRENT FAVOURITE, NINA THE TERRIER, WHO ARRIVES UNBEATEN THIS SEASON, BUT HE HAS TRIED SEVEN TIMES TO WIN THIS AND ONLY PLACED WITH THREE.

FOUR OF THR LAST FIVE WINNERS ARRIVED HAVING WON, OR FINISHED SECOND LAST TIME OUT AND THAT STAT WOULD RULE OUR ELLE EST BELLE, WHO CAME HOME THIRD LAST TIME WE SAW HER.

FAVOURITES HAVE A GREAT RECORD IN THIS AND I’M THINKING ALAN KING WILL BREAK HIS DUCK TOMORROW….I’M WITH NINA THE TERRIER.

RON – NINA THE TERRIER

SEAN – NINA THE TERRIER

NEWBURY 12-40

ONLY FOUR GOING TO POST BUT IT LOOKS A DOOZIE!

HENRY DE BROMHEAD SENDS MR INCREDIBLE OVER FROM IRELAND AND HE LOOKED VERY GOOD ON SEASONAL DEBUT OVER THERE.

TRENDS TELL ME TO LOOK FOR A HORSE AGED FIVE OR SIX. THEY HAVE TAKEN EIGHT OF THE LAST 10 RUNNING’S.

AGAIN, WEIGHT MEANS NOTHING AS THEY ALL CARRY THE SAME BURDEN AND WHILST MARKET STATS INDICATE YOU NEED TO BE FRONT THREE ON THE TISSUE, ASHTOWN LAD TRADES 11/2 CURRENTLY, FOURTH FAVOURITE OF THE FOUR….BUT THIRD FAVOURITE IS 5/1.

IT IS THAT HORSE, FLASH COLLONGES, THAT INTERESTS ME MOST AS HE IS TRAINED BY PAUL NICHOLLS, WHO HAS WON THIS RACE THREE TIMES FROM EIGHT ENRTIRES, WINNING IT IN 2020, 2019 ANS 2013.

GREAT THINGS ARE EXPECTED FROM AHOY SENOR THIS YEAR. HE BEAT BRAVEMANSGAME AT AINTREE WHEN 66/1 AND THAT IS CRACKING GOOD FORM, IF IT WASN’T AN END OF SEASON RESULT.

I THINK ONE OF MR INCREDIBLE OR FLASH COLLONGES TAKES THIS AND WITH NICHOLLS HAVING WON THE LAST TWO RUNNING’S, ONCE WITH A SEASONAL DEBUTANTE, I’LL HAVE A LITTLE PUNT FLASH COLLONGES.

RON – FLASH COLLONGES

SEAN – AHOY SENOR

NEWBURY 2-25

ANOTHER FOUR RUNNER RACE BUT THE MARKET SUGGESTS THERE IS VERY LITTLE BETWEEN ALL FOUR. ONEMOREFORTHEROAD IS CURRENTLY THE 4/1 “OUTSIDER”!

AGE GROUPINGS ARE TELLING ME NOTHING. HERE WE HAVE 2 X 5-Y-O’S TAKING ON 2 X 6-Y-O’S AND THE LAST FOUR RUNNINGS HAVE BEEN WON BY TWO FROM EACH OF THOSE AGE GROUPS.

THE LAST SIX WINNERS ALL CARRIED 11ST OR MORE AND THAT RULES OUT TWO, CAPTAIN MORGS AND ONEMOREFORTHEROAD.

OF THE PAIR LEFT, SOARING GLORY / GOWEL ROAD, THEY ARE BOTH COURSE AND DISTANCE WINNERS, AND IT’S HERE I HAVE TO GO ALL PEDANTIC.

WHEN A WINNER HAS CARRIED 11ST OR MORE TO VICTORY, IT HAS NOT CARRIED LESS THAN 11ST 3LB. TWO OF THE LAST FIVE WINNERS CARRIED 11ST 10LB AND THAT SUGGESTS TO ME I HAVE TO NOMINATE SOARING GLORY.

I SHOPULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT NICKY HENDERSON HAS TRAINED THE LAST TWO WINNERS AND FOUR OF THE LAST NINE SO IF YOU FANCY CAPTAIN MORGS DON’T LET ME PUT YOU OFF!

RON – SOARING GLORY

SEAN – SOARING GLORY

NEWCASTLE 12-55

THE LAST THREE WINNERS OF THIS WENT IN AT 50/1, 40/1 AND 10/1….AND THE LAST SIX WINNERS HAVE ALL BEEN FIVE YEAR OLDS.

EIGHT OF THE LAST 10 WINNERS ALL CARRIED 11ST 3LB OR MORE AND WHILST WE HAVE SEEN SOME TOTALLY BONKERS RESULTS MOST RECENTLY, THE NORM IS TO GO LOOKING FOR OUR WINNER IN THE FRONT FOUR ON THE TISSUE….SEVEN OF THE LAST NINE WINNERS WERE, INCLUDING THAT 10/1 SHOT LAST YEAR.

THAT MEANS I’M LOOKING TO ONE OF

MR GLASS

CAPTAIN QUINT

RIGHT AGE, WEIGHT, MARKET POSITION.

ROSE DOBBIN TRAINS CAPTAIN QUINT AND IN THE LAST 10 YEARS SHE HAS SADDLED THREE FOR THIS, WON WITH
