Used to tip professionally in the early 2000's, now doing it just for fun. I enjoy mostly horse racing (fav. horses include Kazzia, Goldikova, Bogart, Sky Lantern), football, tennis and US Sports. I like writing anything from a novel to a couple of poems and songs. Multitasking in writing is the best supplier when you get that inspiration rush!

Out of John Sadler's stable, a filly who's been racing at this level twice now, so third time lucky is the call today. Fresu keeps faith with the filly on board yet again.

Drops further in level, not by much since last time's race, which was a 4th on reappearance after a break. Still Fresu aboard, not yet bringing this UK/Irish filly back home. Winner in Ireland at Down Royal last year. Form of this race is weak, so quite a battle expected.

One who had a fair experience to finish runner up on debut. Rallied late in the day and a repeat of that over 1 and a half furlongs longer may suffice.

Oscar Piastri

Win Race

50 WIN

@2.50

Last year he and the car didn't go as planned, but was taking it easy and finished even outside the podium. His dominance in the Spanish Grand Prix this year showed he can qualify first and win.

Oscar Piastri - Yes

Podium Finish

50 WIN

@1.17

Open

Piastri establishes himself as a top 3 driver in every race now in 2025. Last year in Canada didn't work out smoothly. He qualified in 4th but finished the race in 5th. Seems like after the Spanish Grand Prix this year, he is much wiser to feature prominently in this contest as well.

Oscar Piastri - Yes

Top 6 Finish

50 WIN

@1.06

Open

Piastri didn't have the best of qualifiers and will only start from P3 today. However, with that experience gathered, he could well be inside the Top 6 by the end of the race.

Should there be a cut in the ground, or softer by this time of the day, Ian Jardine's runner has the form to deliver. Perhaps mark a bit higher than when a winner in September of last year and contesting a class higher now. However, performed well after a break on two occasions and one with experience at this track.

Winner a few times, lately last year on Standard. However, has won on turf and especially with Eaves on board. Hamilton is a track where Kevin Ryan sends out his recruits with a bit of success through the years.

This one beat Keen Cat, reopposing that runner tonight as well at the same level and over the same distance. So it could be closer, but Saez, who flopped on a favorite earlier tonight, would mind not to lose with this one. So preference for this 5-year-old for now.

Fallon won aboard two outings ago when saddling the 3-year-old for the first time, even though it was on Tapeta over 8 and a half furlongs. The filly returns to Yarmouth, for it was back in April that she finished midfield here then. Wiser this time, and despite not being the finished article and marked up by 1lb after the 4th last time out at Ripon over a mile, she goes down in trip by 1 furlong and should be in this.

Likely to be on the premises once again, especially with the jockey and trainer having a win on the card tonight. Finished runner-up last time out, an improvement on previous races. Does tend to look inconsistent, as a 3rd prior to an 8th the race prior to the runner-up, but a tentative selection.

Interesting runner from William Mott. A winner on debut over a year ago. Not seen since, and Lezcano might be riding this again, as opposed to him riding for Linda Rice. Gelded over the past year, so despite winning on firm, good ground, might have an e/w squeak if ready to roll after the layoff.

Did fail on a sloppy ground two outings ago in the Kentucky Derby. However, beat Baeza, another reopposing individual in a prior race. This is the last leg of the illustrious three of the Triple Crown, and the way this one made it out of the pack at the Preakness in the previous race, having overcome difficulties in travel, makes me think Journalism will be a tough Curlin colt to beat tonight. Again saddled as usual by Umberto Rispoli.
