Take it away KabiKusi Kabigum! … also well done to onwards and upwards!

November 11th, 2005
A good week for me really, have had horses placed at the long odds of 54/1, 40/1, 24/1 and last night Ken Allens Onwards and Upwards continued the great run placing at 16/1. Tonight a long shot who really has the ability to perform much better than the odds suggest is Kabikusi Kabigum at the long odds of 36/1. Has registered a couple of victories on muddy already and won her last 2 races.

My fear is that fitness levels are down as the bookies really have decided this fine fillie won’t feature in the 9:55 race. Therefore a placed finish is likley and it surely would start your weekend off well. Good luck to all owners and punters and keep watching Getminted on Sky Channel 235. Tonight with me Graham Clifford and Ces Loader.

Bottom of the sea or top of the field?

Nicolson stable realise that on form their 3 year old colt ‘Snorkeler‘ can challenge the best in the game. The problem is this boy is either up for it or runs to make up the numbers. Tonight at 24/1 he is well worth a flutter for a placed finish. Showed good form over muddy recently but sulked when entered in a claimer two races ago. The going wont be a problem but the slightly longer distance might. That said he’s good enough for a placed finish at thouse long long odds in the 8:57 race.

Swiss maid to take first televised race of the night!

This should be a good competitive race with many of the newcomers looking strong and well trained. ‘Swiss Maid’ fits into that category. The Ocean Park trained horse has won once and been placed once in it’s 2 races to date and at 8/1 could be good enough to win here tonight. That win came 3 days ago in Dubai when Swiss maid’ won well over a slightly shorter distance on this type of going. Many of the other horses in the field though of high quality have either never or very rarely tried out muddy before so keep an eye on the maid!
