This word sums up my last few days of tipping but is also the name of the horse who may turn my luck around—————”Disappointment”!

I hoped I’d see the odds for this fine experienced Diablo racing horse enter the double figures but at 6/1 she still represents good value in the 9:36 race . In 153 races so far she has won 28 times and been placed in 66. Indeed Disappointment’s last win was on muddy back on the 8th of December in the USA though to be fair it was in a small field of 4.

Overall muddy isn’t this fillie’s favoured going but experience and the will to do well should see her run strongly, a solid each way flutter wouldn’t go astray here.

Turguoise in the pink?
December 20th, 2005
Well the latest entrant off the dallas1 conveyor belt ‘Turguoise’ has started her virtual career in fine form. In 12 runs so far the 10/1 shot for tonight’s 8:57 race has won 4 times and been placed in 7, not bad atall, but then again what would you expect from a dallas1 horse? Muddy is arguably not Turguoise’s favoured going but still shes good enough to frigthen the virtual daylights out of all other contenders. Handy odds here for an excellent prospect.

Can Aeacus make it two wins out of two on muddy going?
December 20th, 2005
This 3 year old colt certainly has the ability to challenge at the highest level if only his consistency could be improved. Has won just 4 times out of 21 runs so far but has picked up 8 places also. Last time out on muddy Aeacus won over this distance in Dubai on the 11th of December all be it in a small field of 3. The Abbadon stable don’t suffer fools gladly and unless Aeacus picks up something this evening he could be on his merry way. At odds of 12/1 he may be good value to get the 2,100th placed finish for the stable.
