Bets 02/01/2026

Meydan 1.30 - Appleby holds a strong hand and stable form is hot but backed Sean and Green Triangle last out and not giving up on them. Arabian Light and Bedioun been drawn wide, Alpine Trail likely best handiapped of the four, but been gelded and long absenc. Green Triangle missed the break and was flying home lto and Sean met trouble lto but made up most ground from the back and still is best on numbers all round. Would have beaten Arabian Light last time they met here if not for traffic issues and now has a 13lb pull. Rock of Cashel potentially a blot, but two enough.

Sean 25/1ew 0.5pts ew 4p

Green Triangle 16/1ew 0.5pts ew 4p


Meydan 2.05 - Questions about many of these and I think it's Welcome Dreams to lose.

Welcome Dream 7/2 1pt win


Meydan 2.40 - Spencer brought them all over! Interesting. Hassim was a big price place for me last time and I think would have won (beaten Yotarid and Rightherrightnow, who both 7/1 today) if better drawn and not hampered. Better draw today so let's go. Indian Springs is a good way ahead of mark but dropping in trip. Of all the Spencer runners I think Two Tribes is the most likely. Billy will need to switch over but decent animal winning 2 major handicaps.

Hassim 12/1ew 0.5pts ew 4p

Two Tribes 0.5pts ew 4p


Meydan 3.15 - Disaster. The 3 I earmarked are drawn the widest in 13,14 and 15 and the horse I didn't want drawn 1 got 1. Callahan has some decent form and could make all. Assuming is still improving could really surprise some. 15 runners and only 3 places on offer which is naff so staying out of this one.

No bet


Meydan 3.50 - Dark Saffron's to lose. I think El Nasseeb had the race set up for him perfectly lto and not 100pc likely to get it again.

Dark Saffron 9/4 1pt win


Meydan 4.25 - Amori City, Quddwah and Holloway Boy all have strong claims. All around the 2/1 mark so no value here for me. 

No bet


Meydan 5.00 - Lino Padrino and Al Khawaneej both tracked from earlier are running. Missed 50/1 on Al Khawaneej!!! I really like Lino Pastrino though and think will be  live player for the Guineas in few weeks. Legaliized could be anything but thankfully is drawn 14.

Lino Padrino 3/1 1pt win


Meydan 5.35 - Nightwalker has always looked like the step up in trip would bring out improvement. If this were a handicap would back this for sure, but has a lot to find still with Meydan and Endless Victory who again both around the 2/1 mark so no bet again

No bet

Dark Saffron, Lino Padrino, Welcome Dream 50/1 0.25pt
