DAQMAN on Thursday

Thursday 15 April DAQMAN? WIN MONEY TODAY WITHOUT HAVING A BET: Daqman says it’s notebooks out for a hatful of winners in the future and a lay in the 2,000 Guineas. But you have to watch two of today’s Newmarket races first. 6-1 TRIAL WINNER: He named Music Shop (won 6-1) to win the Nell Gwyn Stakes yesterday but was otherwise was out of luck. He has a nap today which, he says, will see some long faces if it’s beaten, and a first-race buzz ‘like a beehive in Newmarket High Street.” I don’t know whether I can tell you winners today but I can tell you winning bets for the future: lay the winner of today’s Craven Stakes (3.35) in the Guineas, and take as a series of bets losers in the Wood Ditton (2.25). It’s bad enough having to choose between three-year-olds that come with my own health warning (‘this is a new season; forget last year’s form’) but the market was no help yesterday: 6-1 Music Show? Those who weren’t put off by the price were in for a treat as she swept down the outside, after being given several lessons by Fallon: he held her up on the rail; he switched her round horses; he asked her to quicken; he drove her out. He certainly got to know what was under him, in the manner of Lester Piggott who used to pick and choose his Classic rides that way. But I can’t remember Lester ever being embarrassed at too many options

DAQMAN on Tuesday

Tuesday 13 April DAQMAN  DAQMAN’S ONLY BET IS A 9-2 WINNER: Tudor Key (won 9-2 at Windsor) was the only runner from Daqman’s bets yesterday. LAYS DOUBLE BID: Today he examines the vital draw at Pontefract, goes along with it for bets at 11.0 bet and 13.0 but lays two favourites which ran well at the Lincoln Handicap meeting. NEWMARKET SHOCKS TOMORROW: Daqman’s ‘man in the long grass’ returns tomorrow with surprise news for the classic-trial meeting at Newmarket

IRELAND’S EYE on Tuesday

Tuesday 13 April IRELAND’S EYE Exeter provides the jumping action today while the flat action is at Yarmouth and Pontefract. In Ireland Limerick stages a twilight flat meeting with all of the top yards saddling plenty off runners. Our focus will mainly be on the National Hunt action however and a former point winner can provide the answer to a competitive handicap hurdle while at Limerick a Pat Flynn trained runner can spring a mild surprise in the closing maiden. Narrow winner Robin De Sherwood (13/2-11/2) ‘saved our bacon’ yesterday in the closing hunter chase at Sedgefield but was something of a frustrating day otherwise.? Saver Floreana (7/2) looked set for victory in an earlier hunter chase from our nap Dix Villez (3-5/2) but she declined the last and to add insult to injury the latter was outstayed by one of the ‘rags’ close home. The Phillip Hobbs team are in full flow at present and it could be rewarding to row in with their representative Penylan Star in the 2m 7 1/2f novice hurdle at Exeter today at 2-40.

IRELAND’S EYE on Monday

Monday 12 April IRELAND’S EYE It must be the start of Summer today as Windsor opens their season while there is also an interesting flat card at Folkestone today. We will be operating at Sedgefield this afternoon however where there is an interesting amateur riders jump meeting with Nina Carberry picking up a couple of mounts in the opening races. An older gelding can ensure we get off the day in good fashion by landing a hunter chase earlier on the card at decent odds while a previous Cheltenham scorer should oblige at a shorter price in another hunter event later in the card.

IRELAND’S EYE on Sunday

Sunday 11 April IRELAND’S EYE Heartiest congratulations to the champ Tony McCoy this morning after landing the greatest chase on earth with Don’t Push It yesterday and on was great to see what it meant to the multi timed champion rider in addition to J P McManus and Johnjo O’Neill. On a busy Sunday there is a flat/National Hunt double in Ireland at Headquarters (Curragh) and Limerick respectively while Southwell, Kelso and Market Rasen provide the jumps action in the UK. We will be concentrating on Limerick and Kelso however and at the former venue Edward O’Grady can be on the mark in a competitive hc chase while a decent and recent point to point scorer can land the bumper

IRELAND’S EYE on Friday

Friday 9 April IRELAND’S EYE BETDAQ are sponsoring the majority of the Kempton jumps card today while it is Day 2 of the Grand National meeting at Aintree. The Irish challenge was ‘thin on the ground’ yesterday but they look to have a few good opportunities to taste success today and we will be siding with a long priced Northern challenger in a handicap hurdle – 30.0 on the DAQ this morning. The ‘Shark’ O’Hanlon looks to have bright prospects of gaining a Grade 1 hurdle with a progressive type. ?Tomorrow we will be giving our choices for the ‘greatest race on earth’ and we will be delving into the best value on the DAQ where a couple of challengers at more generous odds ‘catch the eye’ and the imagination. Aintree proved something of a ‘graveyard’ for punters yesterday and we were no exception though we did manage to get our lay of the day Gold Cup hero Imperial Commander (6/4) well beaten in the featured chase

IRELAND’S EYE on Thursday

Thursday 8 April IRELAND'S EYE Aintree kicks off today with an excellent card that include half a dozen Graded contests and one Listed event while Taunton may be just a ‘bit player’ but nevertheless they do have some fine fare on offer for jumping enthusiasts away from the ‘madding crowd’. The Tizzard yard can spring a minor surprise in the Grade 2 novice chase at Liverpool whilst we will be opposing the warm favourite in the hunter chase at Taunton. Though there a few disappointments yesterday we did however keep up our winner a day sequence when Day Of Destiny (12-10/1) easily took the opener at Fairyhouse for trainer Pat Colville
