Segal has to have a winner soon. Diabolical tips so far. Today he has tipped:

2.35 Goodwood - Moheet 10/1
3.10 Goodwood - Donncha 14/1, Loving Spirit 20/1
3.45 Goodwood - Out Do 7/1
6.50 Galway - Apterix 14/1

Right my go....

Goodwood 2.00 - Connecticut 3/1 won last race by 16 lenghts. It was a Listed race. Cumani knows what it takes to win this race

Goodwood 2.35 - Top rates, best form, step down in class; Latharnach 7/4

Goodwood 3.10 - Not enough time to look through the card. Magci City 16/1, Belgian Bill 20/1 and Munaseer 8/1 could all have a say

Goodwood 3.45 - Cotai Glory 6/1 looks a big price. Could make all and win this.

Goodwood 4.55 - Fadhayyil 11/4

Newmarket 8.40 - Talyani Evs. Free Money?

Bets 30/07/2015 - Glorious Goodwood Day 3

How did I know Highland Reel would win! Jock. Anyhow a few decent winners yesterday so all good.

Today, Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped:

Goodwood 2.05 - Keble 7/1, Spring Offensive 25/1
Goodwood 3.10 - Scotland 14/1
Galway 4.45 - Diakali 6/1, Max Dynamite 25/1

I have 30 minutes today to get through cards, which is not great. Yesterday spend 45 minutes on the last race and nailed Pastoral! Maybe I should quit job and punt?!

Goodwood 2.05 - As I said yesterday it's hard to make all over this distance unless of course you are trained by MJ. I reckon smash in on Reasonant 12/1 on betfair and lay out at some point depending on how brave you feeling. All the others have chances, it's tough. Could see a blanket finish here. I will chance Mustard 8/1 as next best.

Goodwood 2.35 - I never saw the July Stakes, but wow did Shalaa 7/4 look good. You never know if will handle Goodwood or not but this horse is good

Nottingham 2.55 - Middleman 2/1

Goodwood 3.10 - Hmm. Going left field and backing Vive Ma Fille 20/1 e/w. Huge 3yr allowance, MJ trained and that Aloft form is very very good.

Goodwood 3.45 - Arabian Comet 5/1 likes the course. Great chance today. Hidden Gold 10/1 of interest

Goodwood 4.55 - Montsarrat 5/1 for an MJ treble :)

Goodwood 5.30 - Midlander 5/1 for an MJ quad :)

Bets 29/07/2015 - Glorious Goodwood Day 2

Disaster. Forgot how tough Goodwood can be. The ground was good so I got done by the going and would have had an 8/1 winner had I not been. Had one 6/1 winner, but Segal had another stinker.

Today Segal has tipped:

2.00 Goodwood - Wordiness 12/1, Number One London 25/1
5.30 Galway - Sadler Risk 20/1, Texas Jack 33/1

Right, down to half stakes today....

2.00 Goodwood - Gabrials Star 25/1 e/w has form with Trip to Paris and was flying over 2m2.5f so hope can last the extra 2.5f. Looks a big price. Rosairlie 20/1 e/w also tempting as was close to beating last year's winner Teak when 1lb lower

2.35 Goodwood - I'm fed up of losing money on Highland Reel. Reached 4 figures just with him. So inevitably will win today... However, let's take on. Disegno 6/1 looked unlucky as Ascot last time out and form with Goldern Horn stands out. Space Age 8/1 is not a 96 rated horse. I reckon with 10% improvement today could run to 110 and take this

3.10 Goodwood - I think they'll all struggle to beat Solow. Any number of these could finish behind him, but not one for me to bet it. Fitting if Arod won for Qatar, NOT is solid, Belardo is solid but maybe wants softer, Cougar finished closet to Solow, so too many to pick.

3.45 Goodwood - Pretty disappointing if King of Rooks 5/4 lost. on form should win by 3 lengths plus!

4.55 Goodwood - Sort of race lose all your money. I initially thought nothing could beat Forest Maiden 4/1 as form is rock, but not sure can make all at Goodwood over this distance and this draw. Then I saw Tazffin 7/1 who has even harder rock solid form with Covert Love and Osaila, but then I saw Melrose Abbey 22/1 who could be a nice cheeky plot :) Hmm

5.25 Goodwood - Tough. If I try to rejig performances over C&D Pastoral Player 16/1 e/w has a big shout. Bound to get a strong pace

7.20 Leicester - Almodovar 5/6 is a shooooooo-in. Surely on this mark

Bets 28/07/2015 - Glorious Goodwood Day 1

Working all week so am going to struggle with in depth research but hopefully remember a few things, like 5/6f low drawn, hold up runners do well, and above this no real draw bias and hold up runners low drawn usually get merked on the inside rail. Hughes and MJ farm Goodwood.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped:

2.00 Goodwood - Zand 9/1
3.10 Goodwood - Ascription 10/1
3.45 Goodwood - Oasis Fantasy 9/1, Montefeltro 22/1
6.50 Galway - Unsinkable

My go....

2.00 Goodwood - Hannon has no runner so focus on MJ. Pah - though which one. On the face of it, low draw front running Sennockian Star 11/1, last years winner who finished closest to Mashoob wins this? The problem I have today is the ground, good to soft, soft in places. Collaboration 9/1 on the ground wins after bolted up at Chester. If the ground is genuinely soft in places then Mount Logan gets ruled out. If I get dicked over by the going reports again and it's not Mount Logan has a serious chance as is a C&D winner and on a very good mark. The other issue is do I back Fire Fighting 16/1 blind just because is MJ?? hmm

2.35 Goodwood - Again not sure about ground but on form Birchwood wins but I can't help backing Galileo Gold 6/1 who has run and won on this ground. I doubt Al Shaqab spent 600k on this horse for no reason

3.10 Goodwood - Again not sure about ground but on form Dutch Connection wins, Toomore also should win, but something says stick with Segal and back Ascription 10/1

3.45 Goodwood - Oasis Fantasy 6/1 has been hammered but I was really keen on Battersea 8/1 last time out and cruised into contention before I hope lack of match fitness kicked in. Using the Old Newton Cup as formguide so many have chances. At the weights Farquhar beats Battersea but I think is a better horse at Haydock. Battersea should beat Notarised at the weights now. Asteronerous keeps improving but Battersea wins at the weights


4.20 Goodwood - Double Up 3/1 is improving but at the weights Top Boy 9/1 is interesting. Double Up beat him by 1.5 lengths and is now 15lb worse off. However I reckon would have been by more if gone all at and also likely DU has improved whereas TB keeps coming up just short. Either way will back both

4.55 Goodwood - Papa Luigi 5/1 must have a good chance with Hughes onboard

5.30 Goodowood - Can't work out why Strong Steps is favourite. Form on turf doesn't look good enough. Ifwecan 8/1 and Francos Secret 25/1 get my vote although lots have chances

Bets 26/07/2015

Landed the 2 big handicaps @ 7/1 and 12/1 yesterday. Something told me to slap £125 e/w and them and have a £125 double....

I had £250 on 3 other horses and the rest £50 - £100 which all flopped except 1, so walked away with £5k profit. About time got back on the road.

4.00 Pontefract - Let's GO 6/4. Looks a brilliant horse in the making but just don't know what the rain is going to do....

Bets 25/07/2015

Best result yesterday was non-runners....

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped:

Ascot 3.15 - Brazos 25/1

York 3.30 - Algar Lad 10/1, Highland Acclaim 16/1

Right, need to bounce back today, but I think will be tough especially at Ascot and Newmarket as I struggle with soft ground.

Newmarket 1.55 – Recorder 15/8 looks smart

Newcastle 2.10 - Street Dual 2/1

Newmarket 2.30 – Global Force 7/2 on softer groun on 2^nd race of career ran one of best races. Winner at track could improve a lot

Ascot 2.40 - Grand Inquistor 4/1 good form and form on softer ground so good chance

York 2.55 – Love a French raid. Prince Gibraltar 11/4

Newmarket 3.05 – Risen Sun 9/2 again I think might like the soft based on Hamilton run

Ascot 3.15 - Speculative Bid 11/2 maybe should have won at the Royal Meeting. Need luck to get gaps but more than capable of winning again. In case drawbiaw on low numbers Heavens Guest 12/1 ran well last time out and is another solid C&D winner who will love the ground

York 3.30 - If Tanzeel 7/1 takes to York track will win. Following same path as Muthmir but at the price and with no track form I'm tempted to seek alternatives. There are a lot of solid C&D winners so it's not easy. See The Sun 12/1 is knocking on the door and in good form and Willbeme 12/1 ran a blinder over C&D in a G3 race. There are too many others on the short list to mention. Tough race

Newmarket 4.15 – Eqleem 5/2 looks decent, but can’t be a green as was on debut. More than likely won’t be

Salisbury – Use Your Filbert royally did me over last time. 11/4 today can make up for it

Bets 24/07/2015

Ascot 1.50 - Dawn of Hope 2/1 has group entry and sounds like a horse full of talent. I love the name :)

Ascot 2.20 - Again the only one with a group entry; Spanish City 4/1

Ascot 3.30 - hmm very tough. I like horses to have won at Ascot before and the top rated of those is Bold Lass 6/1. Evita is the best horse in race and Gosden reckons Yasmeen is group class but big flop at Ascot last time

Ascot 4.05 - I like a lightly raced 3yr who looks ahead of mark and that equals Exosphere 2/1

York 6.00 - Deerfield 11/4 can win off this mark

Newmarket 6.40 - Think Carrington 9/4 best handicapped and proven goes well on the course

York 7.00 - Another group entry Mohab 2/1

York 7.30 - Crystal Zveda 13/8 top rated

Bets 23/07/2015

4.00 Sandown – Indelible Ink 2/1

7.20 Doncaster – The Tin Man 9/4

8.45 Newbury – Serene Beauty 2/1

Bets 18/07/2015

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped 4 today:

2.35 Newbury - Fire Fighting 6/1
2.55 Market Rasen - Gioia Di Vita 12/1
3.45 Newbury - Hawatif 12/1
5.50 Curragh - Speedy Boarding 20/1

I don't fancy anything really strongly today, just not feeling a buzz about the races on offer today as focus on IRE. Have a feeling MJ is going to have a good day today.

Newmarket 1.40 - Emirates Skycargo 13/2 solid C&D

Chester 1.50 - Muhadathat 4/6

Newbury 2.00 - Sealife 2/1 beat couple of rated horses pretty easily on debut so ought to be well handicapped as Haggas horses generally improve a wad on 2nd run.

Newmarket 2.15 - Arabian Comet 9/4 got merked on the Goodwood inner last time and maybe should have won that race. Looked to have the better of Dream Child who now carries a penalty. I'll be vexed if Jordan Princess wins this though. Backed her couple times to no avail. Possible was unlucky in the same race as AC. Hmmm.

Newbury 2.35 - Consort 5/4 wins at the weights. They all have a chance in this though so certainly no lumping

Chester 3.00 - Struggling to pick between Make It Up, Prosperous and Enlace. I don't think Enlace stays this far. so maybe 4/1 and 12/1 on the other two respectivley

Newbury 3.10 - Again at the weights Portamento 7/4 should win

Newbury 3.45 - Not a race for me, but if you look at the RPR vs weights then the favourite Excessable 10/3 looks the one to be on. Back to Bond 66/1 e/w as a random pick.

Chester 4.10 - Racing History 11/10 ahead of mark

Newbury 4.20 - Mister Universe 6/1 gets a huge 3year old allowance in this. Whether takes advantage is a different questions but at the weights wins this

Newmarket 5.10 - Don't normally bet in 3 horse races but when you know one will dictate the race from the front less reason to fear; Reasonant 10/11

Curragh 5.15 - Meccas Angel 10/11 is class

Curragh 5.50 - Draw a line through Epsom and Together Forever 12/1 e/w 3 places is really far too big.

Bets 17/07/2015

3.05 Newbury - Bella Nouf 5/2 I think is well handicapped

3.40 Newbury - I thought I was going to have a really good chance with Opal Tiara at a big price as Ascot. Madrinho also scuppered a big price win when was on Race Day at 12/1 but the horse that won the most impressively last time out is Tasleet 2/1. Took a while to get the hang of things but when did looked very good

4.55 Haydock - Memorial Day 6/5 form looks good

7.50 Newmarket - Syrian Pearl 7/4 to make amends for last time out defeat

8.25 Newmarket - If Bella Nouf wins, Figmetnt Evs will go off short odds on

Bets 13/07/2015

Very quick look at cards today....

Ayr 2.00 - Duch Heiress 3/1

Windsor 7.30 –Nobel Peace 5/4

Windsor 8.30  - L’Ingenue 9/4

Wolves 6.40 – Duke Street 2/1

Wolves 7.40 – Sciustree 5/2

Wolved 8.40 - Le Notre 7/4

Bets 11/07/2015

Pretty decent day yesterday. Today Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped:

1.45 York - Gabrials Kaka 20/1
2.10 Ascot - Taajub 20/1
2.20 York - Montaly 10/1
3.10 Newmarket -  Unforgiving Minute 14/1
3.25 York - First Flight 12/1
3.45 Newmarket - Jack Dexter 33/1

So much racing today :)

York 1.45 - 3 on my shortlist; Musaddas 6/1, best handicap form on show, You're Fired 12/1 best current C&D form and Mont Ras but is first run back after a while. On balance will probably have You're Fired 12/1 e/w as main bet.

Newmarket 2.00 - I really can't work out why a C&D winner with solid form is 16/1 - Mutasayyid. Quick Defense 9/1 also big price

Ascot 2.10 - This one is tough and I'm not sure I should bet in it. Son of Africa certainly took my eye but Meadway 16/1 e/w did even more. Unlucky last tiem out on reappearance. If can build on that will go close. Downside is not sure how will perform at Ascot. Worth follong C&D winners but worth a chance this time. Gamesome 9/1 tempting

York 2.20 - Famous Kid 6/1 big price considering beat Ahzeemah over this distance. Ran well in Duke of Edinburgh but needed further and was hampered and carried. Just hope likes York as a lot don't.

Newmarket 2.35 - Air Vice Marshall 7/2. AOB knows how to win big 2yr old races in the UK

Ascot 2.45 - Arod 2/1 best horse here.

York 2.55 - I think last years winner Take Cover 6/1 marginally the best C&D winner

Newmarket 3.10 - I just think have to stick with form and go with Ayaar 7/1 and Chil The Kite 9/1. Both ran well in Royal Hunt Cup and think the former will prefer step down in trip. Rene Mathis 25/1 e/w worth a pop as runs half a stone better at the track looking back through records.

Ascot 3.20 - I can't stay away from maidens :) Rockley Point has solid form but again someone tells me Any Guest 10/1 is Margarsons best 2yr....

York 3.25 - You have to use the 888 Handicap over C&D as the form marker and therefore I agree with First Flight 12/1 (Segal pick) and also Voice of a Leader 14/1, who is lightly raced and ran a blinder last race. Worth a reverse Forecast

Newmarket 3.45 - Muhaarar 3/1 was never on my watch list at Ascot but boy was he impressive. the 3yr allowance will help and he ran a quicker time than Brazen Beau

Newmarket 4.20 - Ballydole cost me couple hundred quid on track at Ascot which was very annoying. Ought to win this but not betting on him at 1/2. A day earlier I was told Nemoralia was Noseda's best 2yr old and spunked a whole wad on that as well. At 11/2 might have an e/w but Noseda yard in dire form

Newmarket 4.55 - Majdool 3/1 potentially well handicapped if on bare form against Beaverbrook

Ascot 5.05 - Sure Space Age could well improve but at the weights surely Dartmouth 9/1 e/w has to be the bet. Gets an 8lb pull on this and Space Age def has the easiest trip round at Royal Ascot

Ascot 5.40 - Think Ahead 13/8 def ahead of mark

Bets 10/07/2015

Feels like an age since landed a double figure winner, so thankfully on the right side of MJ yesterday.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has gone nuts today:

2.40 Newmarket - Besharah 8/1
2.55 York - Kiyoshi 7/1
3.15 Newmarket - Amazing Maria 10/1
3.45 Newmarket - Encore D'or  12/1, Squats 14/1

Far too much racing today to take in with work. Damnit. Maybe should pull a sickie...Haggas could have a field day today.

2.10 Newmarket - Over 8f would have been Angel Vision, but over 7f have to go with Wordcraft 7/2. Both are solid course winners. Sprangled  not out of it but will go with WC.

2.40 Newmarket - Easton Angel 7/4 surely has the best form.

3.15 Newmarket - At the weights has to be Lucida 3/1. Has to improve but has the weight allowance and is one of best in division. Might be too fast for Integral

3.45 Newmarket - Could back so many of these but I'm backing Mukhmal 14/1 a solid C&D winner who might be hard to catch and Lacing 25/1 who comes back down the weights into a handicap with serious form behind Osaila on this course.

4.20 Newmarket - Von Blucher 2/1 solid form has more experince over field

4.55 Newmarket - Amazour 5/1 is solid, but then again so are so many of these. Georgian Bay 16/1 out of 6 others is the one I'll go with though

5.30 Newmarket - Mitraad 3/1 ahead of mark
--

1.55 Ascot - Race Day 12/1 was sent off fave on debut. Must be well thought so worth another try

3.05 Ascot - Queens Vase form has to win this off this mark. Antiquarium 7/2, but Steve Rogers won't give easily

3.35 Ascot - Forever Popular 3/1 good mark

4.45 Ascot - Rifle Range 9/4 good mark
--

1.45 York - All form points to Ajaya 8/15

2.25 York - Intercption might well be the one to beat but Lucky Kristal 10/1 e/w is my bet. Clearly has to boucne back to form but no reason why can't. Has won over C&D and that's important here. New Prov 13/2 is interesting.

--
6.30 Chepstow - Read somewhere Adham 3/1 is yards best 2yr old

Bets 09/07/2015

Only had a 5 minute look so only half bets...

2.10 Newmarket - Mr Singh Evs best form

2.40 Newmarket - Tough. Elronaq 13/2 e/w as solid course form but Orvar 9/1 is also of interest. Hmm as I said, tough

3.15 Newmarket - Mashoob 9/4 has made me soo much money this year. Love this horse. Gospel Choir is chief danger

3.45 Newmarket - Muntadab 7/2 solid favourites chance and Reasonant 10/1 is the danger is bounces back to form

4.55 Newmarket - Alqubbah 11/4

Bets 04/07/2015

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped:

2.35 Sandown - Mister Carpenter 16/1
2.50 Haydock - Apterix 14/1, John Reel 20/1
3.45 Sandown - Cougar Mountain 10/1

I have to have a good day today, just have to.

Sandown 1.25 - You Your Filbert 11/4 ahead of mark and some useful formlines in there

Beverley 1.50 - Poplar Close 11/10 solid form

Sandown 2.00 - I thought Wind Fire was going to land a huge price at Ascot but just didn't happen. Worth (for my own sanity) to have a bet at 7/1, but in reality Waady 2/1, solid C&D winner looks the one to be one. On form with Adaay you might think Salt Island has a better chance. Hmm now I have toalked myself out of this race....

Haydock 2.15 - Lady Tiana 7/2 was just cock blocked all over the place last time over C&D. Can have revenge today, but Lee needs to pay attention

Sandown 2.35 - Basem 4/1 solid C&D winner when was trapped for a long time. Master of The World franked that form

Haydock 2.50 - Battersea 6/1 chunks ahead of mark

Sandown 3.10 - Too tricky

Leicester 3.15 - Imitation 13/8 must be chunks ahead of mark, but that Mikandy form is also solid

Sandown 3.45 - No 3yr old since Sea The Stars has won this but Goldern Horn is solid. I'm not betting at 2/5 though.

Beverley 4.45 - Krafty One 13/8  , but not doubt MJ will jock me again

Beverley 5.20 - Grand Beauty 6/4 but has been off a while

Nottingham 8.45 - Raddeh 5/6 should be get your money back for all your losses job

MJ E/W Trixie in Bev 4.45, Notts 8.15 and Hay 5.10

Bets 03/07/2015

3.20 Sandown - Derby entrant Cartago 4/5 was green as but will have benefited from run. Must improve and win this

3.55 Sandown - Provenance 8/11 at the weights

4.45 Donny - Gang Warfare 4/6 looks well ahead of mark especially with claimer

6.45 Beverley - Excessable Evs Really really very impressive debut. Has a whole host of top entries too

Bets 02/07/2015

7th time in last 3 months 1 horse has let down a 4/5/6 fold. Was about 35/1 yesterday, but Greeb was awful.

3.10 Lingfield - A C&D winner, who won last race by 6 lengths; Solar Flair Evs. Knight boys in good nick

4.20 Haydock - Hernandoshideaway has strong from but I back Dannday 11/8 last time and had no fears. Reckon still ahead of mark

6.50 Epsom - Machine Learner 5/4 looked good once got going

7.55 Epson - Monasada Evs solid form

Bets 01/07/2015

Thirsk 4.30 - Greeb 6/4 looks solid after first run back

Kempton 6.45 - Gold Sands 7/4 has the form but Cryptoym 12/1 is interesting

Kempton 7.15 - I love a good Hawksmoor 3/1. Also this one has a Group 1 entry

Bath 8.35 - Phyllis Maud 5/4 good chance. Ex-MJ horse who was solid C&D winner
