A quick look back at the PGA Championship before we move forward. Mixed feelings — Rahm and Schauffele both placed and we very nearly broke even on the week, which in a Major field of 150+ players is far from a disaster. Rahm in particular looked like he had the tools to win it but couldn’t quite close the gap on Rai down the stretch. A few things went against us but the analysis was sound and the model identified two of the players who genuinely contended.
On to more positive things — the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch starts Thursday. We’ll have our full data-backed analysis and selections published Wednesday. Watch this space.
For today, two selections across the UK and Ireland evening cards.
Counting Cards — 3:00 Carlisle — 8/1 each way, 4 places (1pt) Back down to 5f and racing off a mark of 70 which looks very workable. Raced too keenly last time at Musselburgh but the headgear comes off today which should help significantly. Trainer Edward Bethell has an excellent record at Carlisle and that’s a major positive. Each-way chance with four places on offer.
Syzygy — 6:50 Roscommon — 9/4 (1pt) A standout on the card. Won a hat-trick last season including over a similar race at the Curragh, and her performance in the Irish Lincoln this season marks her out as the one to beat here. Back up in distance which suits. Should be there or thereabouts — worth ensuring best odds guaranteed in case of any market drift before the off.
Please play responsibly — 18+
