Horse Racing Selections – February 1, 2026 Including Dublin Racing Festival

Good morning – we had a nice winner with JPR One (6/1) yesterday and a place from Wyvern. The month in general was poor and we ended -21 units down. Weirdly, this wasn’t a bad outcome compared with PAID tipsters out there – I’m aware of numerous ones that performed worse. Here’s, one on X which charges at least £25 a month talking about his poor run!

*As Promised – Important Update First!

Our win at the weekend gives us hope but, as promised, I am going to change things as 21 units down in a month isn’t great and follows a poor December. We were doing great before that so it’s all very frustrating.

I am not longer going to naturally post selections each day. I may also do more anteposts ahead of Cheltenham and throw in some other sports. I’m also not going to ritually track P+L or advise on units given this mixed strategy – please track your own going forward. This will also encourage me to share more selections and makes it less likely that algorithms restrict my content (as has been happening). As always, I will be open with you if things are not working and very celebratory, if they are!

OK, let’s start the new system with the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown. It’s finally going ahead – here are some picks…

Horse Racing Selections – Friday June 14, 2024

Good morning, hope you are well!

I am going to aim to put selections out the night before going forward and with more rationale as we head towards Royal Ascot. I am finding I’m too busy during the day to get selections out and this is leading to late posts and a lack of rationale. This may mean that early – often bigger – prices can be found though you will likely miss out on best odds guaranteed, which tend to be available on-the-day.

I’ll aim to start this new system later today.

For now – here are today’s selections…

Horse Racing Selections – June 14

Chester

3.25 Hutchence 11/8 win

5.10 Treasure Time 3/1 (7/2 with 365) win

The new system of selecting the night before would have helped here as Hutchence’s price has halved since late yesterday. Hutchence will likely go off favourite being a son of Frankel and on a moderate opening mark and seems to do well on more difficult ground.

Treasure Time is one of only two horses out for trainer Haggas at Chester today and runs out of a good stall (4). Also, likely to go off favourite and we may have got a better price last night! Argh!

York

4.10 High Fibre 13/2 each way (5 places)

4.10 Reach 7/1 each way (5 places)

Reach finished third at York last month after a 286-day break but will be good for the run and at 7/1 is a solid each way shout with Jo Mason taking the ride.

High Fibre is also in the same race and at a similar price but with 5 places widely available, I’m fine to select two this time out. Did well from a wide draw last time and there’s a lot of potential – rarely races though (which can be a positive or a negative!).

Market Rasen

8.05 Coilrock 11/2 each way

Beaten into second when switched to cheekpieces last time out with a lot of backing – comes back at a low weight so decent chance.

Multiple try (not official) – you could attempt the 2 Chester and Market Rasen selections as a very small (0.2 pts, for example) trixie try.

Golf Selections with Update – US Open

On the X social account, I suggested putting up Bryson DeChambeau as a first round leader yesterday. He placed – 33/1 each way was available.

Bryson and Collin Morikawa have been selected as each-way win selections – DeChambeau is tied fourth (two shots back) and Morikawa is tied 16th (4 shots back) so all to play for with three rounds to go!

Bonus Selection…

If you are looking for some interesting longshots heading into the weekend who could finish in the top 4, here are a couple to try (go small each way)…

Pavon 80/1 each way (5 places)

Fleetwood 40/1 each way (5 places)

Remember – this is being played at Pinehurst No. 2 – a very tough course where you can easily lose a lead, especially if you have a bad day. Good golfers yesterday had nightmares – including Hovland!

The winner on this course in 1999 (Payne Stewart) only finished on -1; and in 2014 (last time played there), although the winner (Martin Kaymer) finished on -9, second place was back on -2!
