THE RACING POST SATURDAY OCTOBER 29th 2011
TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT
http://turfcall2-racingpost.blogspot.com/2011/10/racing-post-saturday-october-29th-2011.html

HALL OF FAME
RODNEY MASTERS BRINGS US TODAY’S BIG TALKING POINT
DIAMOND BIDDING TO SHOW SPARKLE IS STILL THERE

“IT HAS been said that statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. To-day at Wetherby a crown jewel of a racing statistic is put to the test when DIAMOND HARRY runs in the £100,000 bet365 Charlie Hall Chase. (3.20) He has won first time out in his five previous seasons.



"However there is an all- important factor concealed within that statistic because this time he will be returning from an injury layoff. He was last seen in public 11 months ago when winning Newbury’s Hennessy Gold Cup. A plan to bypass the King George and other targets to keep him fresh for the Cheltenham Gold Cup backfired when he succumbed to a suspensory ligament wound during his festival preparation.
  “Scan back to DIAMOND HARRY’S  youth  and there is encouraging evidence that a prolonged period of time-out is by no means insurmountable . After winning a valuable bumper on his debut in the spring of 2007 at Newbury he was not seen again until taking that corresponding event the following season. 
“From then on he raced more regularly and, under the skilful handling of Nick Williams, pieced together a sequence of half a dozen wins for Timmy Murphy, and one for Barry Geraghty. Murphy was ultimately jocked-off and replaced in the Hennessy by Daryl Jacob, whose move to Paul Nicholls led to James Reveley’s appointment as the Williams stable jockey.


“Today, the spotlight will be on Reveley like never before in Britain but his progressive career includes several major prizes in Europe, including back–to- back wins in Italy’s most prestigious chase the e380,000 Gran Premio Merano.
“At Ascot today, there is a potent challenge from Ireland for the £100,000 United House Gold Cup, with representatives from the likes of Noel Meade, Charles Byrnes, Adrian Maguire and Eoin Griffin, but the talking point in the Lambourn valley for the past ten days has revolved around a likely longshot who is on the comeback trail and has been given an outstanding chance by the BHA handicapper if able to recapture his form of old.
  “The Charlie Mann-trained  AIR FORCE ONE runs off a mark of 132. He was rated 150 when a four- length runner-up to ROLL ALONG in the corresponding chase in 2008. A few weeks later he was a three-length-runner up to MADISON DU BERLAIS, off 153. After his 18 months on the sidelines many punters will have written him off, unaware he excelled in a workout for Noel Fehily at Kempton last week and was foot- perfect in a schooling session last Tuesday. FEHILY, one of the best judges around, says that AIR FORCE ONE has given him the impression he is back to his best. Which raises another talking point; has the handicapper taken a risk with AIR FORCE ONE’S ratings freefall? Or has he called it right?
HANAGAN lead narrowed to three by DE SOUSA for Flat Champ 2011.

Scoop6 Races for Saturday October 29th 2011 -  NO WINNER

Tote have just released the Scoop6 races for this Saturday, 29th October. They are: -
Race 1 : 2.30 Ascot
Race 2 : 3.00 Ascot
Race 3 : 3.15 Newmarket
Race 4 : 3.20 Wetherby
Race 5 : 3.40 Ascot
Race 6 : 3.55 Newmarket
There was no winner of the Scoop6 last Saturday. That is great news for you as the Win fund will start off this Saturday with £64,691 rolled over from last week and the Bonus fund starts at £584,424. Both these totals will grow rapidly as more stakes are placed.
Therefore a single winner of the Win and Bonus Funds could scoop around £800,000!
This weekend’s totescoop6 sees top-quality racing from both codes as the bet takes in racing from Newmarket, Ascot and Wetherby. The highlight sees a field of eight line up for the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase where last year’s Hennessy Gold Cup winner Diamond Harry is the 5/2 favourite to land the Grade 2 event.

GUEST STAR JAMIE OSBORNE  Bloodhorse Literate top professional jump jockey, turned trainer his operation  in Upper Lambourn.
"2010 saw some big changes for us. Not least the move from Kingsdown to The Old Malthouse. This has proved to be a positive one as the horses have thrived and resumed their winning ways. We have now laid the foundations from which we can grow.
 "My older horses are housed ‘at home’ in The Old Malthouse. The yard was formerly occupied by Nick Gaselee, from where he trained Party Politics to win the 1992 Grand National. A converted farm, we have thirty recently renovated stables with a low key atmosphere in which horses relax and thrive. 
"My two year olds live half a mile away in Frenchman’s Barn. They also benefit from a quiet environment and are close to the Kingsdown gallops – the best two year old facility in the village.

"Lambourn generally has suffered quite severely from the economic downturn and we have not been immune. However, the signs are good for the future. With the Jockey Club’s continued investment in the training facilities we can claim to have the most extensive, diverse and well managed gallops anywhere in the UK, if not the world.

"Facilities set in the beautiful Berkshire Downs, a million miles from the frenetic legions that populate the more urban environment of other training centres.

"Obviously we are hoping to increase the horse population in the village but Lambourn really is quiet countryside training and this will never change.

"Lambourn is secondary to Newmarket in size only. There is nothing secondary about training here. It has almost become Racing’s best kept secret".

RICHARD HOILES Broadcaster Presenter Bloodhorse Illiterate.
"I don’t actually believe in tips: learned my lesson when I worked at Aintree in the ’90s where, within half an hour I was introduced to three owners, with competing runners in the same race. Each told me to ‘Get on!’ with substantial confidence – none of their horses was in the first three.

NEWS RACING POST WEEK MONDAY 17th TO SUNDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2011

GRAHAM DENCH TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT
HIT OR MYTH? QUANDARY FOR PUNTERS OVER TWO YEAR OLD COLT CAMELOT ....

BEWARE TAKING A SHORT PRICE ABOUT THE RACING POST TROPHY FAVOURITE
“IF THE BETTING is to be believed Aidan O’Brien’s CAMELOT is more or less past the post in the Racing Post Trophy – he is as short as evens for this afternoon’s contest the 3.00pm (RPT)  at Doncaster and no bigger than 12-1 clear favourite for next years Investec Derby. Yet it requires a huge leap of faith to go in at cramped odds now. Available at 5-2 on Tuesday, when the stable’s Royal Lodge winner DADDY LONG LEGS was still in the equation, he is a crazy price for a once-raced colt whose debut win in a five-runner maiden at Leopardstown has been let down not only by runner-up  ALL APPROVED, who was beaten for a sixth successive time at Bellewstown on his last start and boasts a Racing Post Rating of just 76, but also by third-placed FORT SAM HOUSTON, who has since been beaten at Killarney and Listowel.


“ CAMELOT could only beat what was put before him and there is no denying he won readily after coming from last to first, but he still has a great deal to prove. What is more, while many will take encouragement from O’Brien’s five wins in the last 13 runnings of today’s Group 1, it has not always been the Ballydoyle No 1 who has done best in the Racing Post Trophy.  Short  - priced favourites who have been included EAGLE MOUNTAIN,  fourth at 8-11 in 2006 ....


SEPTIMUS, third at 5-6 the year before that and the eminently forgettable CASTLE GANDOLFO, beaten by his brilliant stablemate HIGH CHAPARRAL when  8-13 in 2001. In fact, CAMELOT’S stablemate LEARN, although more exposed, clearly has better form and so for that matter do Listed winner FENCING, easy Newmarket maiden winner ENCKE, Somerville Tattersall third  ZIP TOP and Solario winner  TELWAR, who is the only Group winner in the field yet a complete rag in the betting.  Still fancy taking short odds?


“While the Racing Post Trophy pretty much represents the last knockings of the domestic turf season, the unexpected return of duel Queen Mother Champion Chase winner MASTER MINDED in Aintree’s Old Roan Chase will for many fans herald the start of the jumps season proper. Sadly MASTER MINDED appears to have frightened off most of the opposition in this limited handicap, run this year in celebration of the race’s three - time winner MONET’S GARDEN, but ALBERTA’S RUN, who chased MASTER MINDED home at a respectful nine lengths in the Melling Chase in April, will be no pushover in receipt of 10lb.

“Back on the Flat, many punters will be drawn to Newbury’s Totescoop6 HBLB Handicap, which has attracted just the sort of field the Levy Board were hoping for when they threw £30,000 at it.

“Luca Cumani has the first two in the betting in KIRTHILL and NAQSHABBAN, but they bet 11-2 the 16- runner field and this is truly a race in which a good case can be made for a dozen or more. It is one of two new £50,000 handicaps at Newbury – the other is a hurdle on New Year’s Eve – and there will hopefully be more such initiatives in 2012 on Saturdays that are thought likely to benefit particularly from a high value and higher quality handicap."

SIMON has continued to cover many important events including the Cheltenham Festival, 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas, St Leger, King George VI Chase and, from 2007, Glorious Goodwood. He also called the Irish Derby once (in 2000 when Sinndar triumphed as RTE used the BBC's Jim McGrath to call the race in the absence of Tony O'Hehir), as well as the 2001 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe when the TV rights briefly transferred from the BBC to Channel 4.

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT
J MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL
HORSERACING REGULATION
CLOSE  on a year ago now the British Horseracing Authority (BHA Regulation) made the decision that a whip review was needed. Following which we are led to believe that the Australian Jamie Stier and veterinary Tim Morris were chosen to lead this review.
 
One would have thought the very first thing that this BHA whip team needed to do was to set out a document with the title ‘WHIP TACTICS’ 
1.       ACCEPTABLE BLOODHORSE LITERATE WHIP TACTICS
            
2.      UNACCEPTIBLE  BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE WHIP TACTICS
TODAY after all this time and a 78 page BHA Whip Review Document published just weeks ago, coming into effect on Monday October 10th  and without any trial period, has proved a shocking and drastic disaster on all fronts, even contaminating the French rider Christophe Soumillon with horrendous punishment. This whole BHA regulation issue handled by a team of unqualified Bloodhorse Illiterate BHA  team workers. 
GUEST STAR FELIX FRANCIS SHOWS US HIS NEW BOOK - GAMBLE

GAMBLE STRAIGHT INTO TOP TEN          
PDFPrintE-mail
GAMBLE by Felix Francis has gone straight into the Top Ten UK Hardback Bestseller chart at reaching No. 7, three days into its UK release.
Read some of the fantastic UK and US reviews here:

  • “Nonpareil jockey/suspense writer Dick Francis's son Felix, who coauthored his late father's last four novels (Crossfire, 2010, etc.), turns in a solo performance fully worthy of the family name.” Kirkus
  • “Those who prefer something less gory will enjoy Felix Francis’s Gamble, in which an American financial adviser is shot dead seconds before the start of the Grand National. Dick, Felix’s late father, would have approved.” Telegraph
  • Francis, having coauthored four horse-racing thrillers (Crossfire, etc.) with dad Dick Francis (1920–2010), proves himself more than capable of carrying on the family legacy alone. Francis shares his father's gift for brisk storytelling--and for creating a sympathetic, wounded, but determined hero.” Publishers Weekly
  • “Felix Francis continues his father's New York Times- bestselling legacy with another edge-of-your-seat read that's classic Francis.” FictionDB
  • “It appears that Felix Francis can write on his own. A family tradition can continue. If he continues to turn out stories of this quality, Felix Francis’ name doubtless will reach the top of the book one day. “Gamble” has all the things that loyal readers have anticipated in their annual Francis fix: a taut intelligent story full of suspense, danger and mystery in spare and fast-moving prose that keeps the readers’ attention.” The Washington Times
  • Read an interview with Felix Francis in the Telegraph.
