There must be something up with Gauquelin, odds of 30/1 or maybe the bookies have made an error!

Isn’t it lovely proving the bookies wrong. Last night my tip ‘Dalakhani’ did just that, placing at 34/1! Tonight Dallas 1’s Gauquelin has been given odds of 30/1 which is suprising. Not alone has the 2 year old colt been a revelation this season but he hasn’t raced since last wednesday so I would assume fitness levels should be approaching 90%, whether thats good enough for a win is another matter, probably not.

In 24 runs he has won 9 times and been placed in 10. A fantastic purchase from the sales ring ‘Gauquelin’ prefers the muddy and soft going but 2 of the 9 wins have come on fast. Don’t miss the 8:57 race its the last of the tri cast challenge (£300 tonight) and may be the one where Gauquelin runs far better than the long odds suggest.

Jug ears to wax lyrical after good run in Dubai!
November 27th, 2005
Its been a busy three months for Jug Ears. He left the Judge Jeffries stables in September bound for Hala Madrid. However much like Michael Owen at Real Madrid he could never win the true affections of the manager and so made his way to the Tightline stable three weeks ago. Rumours suggest he could be on his way yet again as he was entered in a claiming race as recently as last Friday. I believe theres still something left in this 3 year old though and that one good run could revitalise him and bolster the virtual confidence! Isn’t a huge lover of fast but on recent form isn’t a huge fan of racing in general! I remember tipping ‘Jug Ears’ on a couple of occassions in the past and he didn’t let me down so at 13/1 Im backing him each way in the 8:48 race from Dubai.

Can the grey man return to winning ways at long odds?
November 27th, 2005
This 2 year old colt started off his career in blistering fashion. Amazingly won his first three races, each of them over different goings and on different courses. However since the 5th of November things have gone down hill rapidly as others get wise to the challenge of the goatie 2000 horse. Stronger fields have made it difficult for ‘the grey man’ to find win number 4 but you feel its only a matter of time before the 48/1 shot is victorious again. Running in the 8:36 he has only one race behind him on fast. That resulted in a win so the signs are positive for a placed finish tonight.
