Racing Tips December 15
Elixir De Nuit was available at 3/1 Thursday night and I thought that to be very good value. It was. The selection won again for members on Friday. The past the post price was a much shorter, 5/4.
Not That Fuisse returned a little each way profit when second but undoubtedbly the disappointments were Lil Rockerfeller and A Hare Breath.
Some days all the NAPS win - as happened very recently - on other days they lose and other selections win. That was the case on Friday.
One enemy of the punter that makes an appearance each winter is the . . .

Just seeing the word Cheltenham in the racing fixture list lifts the spirits.
True, there is only one festival and that takes place at Prestbury Park each March. But there are some good race meetings at Cheltenham before then, and Friday and Saturday look promising when it comes to quality thoroughbred racehorses taking each other on.
Saturday at Cheltenham includes the feature race, the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup and Albert Bartlett Bristol Novices' Hurdle.
But before that we look to have a few decent races there tomorrow. So there is where I concentrate my attention.

I am just about over it. Almost. I speak of the gut wrenching magnificent 7 acca falling down last weekend only because Manchester City chose last Saturday to lose a football match.
Six of the other teams tipped to win last weekend, and placed in that accumulator, all won. Arsenal, Stoke, Norwich, Luton, Doncaster Rovers and MK Dons.
Now I have never cashed out a bet in my punting life. I've always looked upon cashing out as a chickens way of betting. But why oh why did I not spend the half hour between those six teams winning their . . .

What a performance by Altior on Saturday! In atrocious conditions, he won again and won a true test of his ability and stamina thanks to Ruby Walsh giving runner up Un De Sceaux a great ride.
That's what Altior needed and the best price of 4/5 should be taken ante-post for Altior to win the Champion Chase at the festival for the second year running.
The heavy rainfall at Sandown and Aintree played havoc with some horses on the day. Lalor hated the conditions but don't rule that one out from bouncing back at the festival . . .

Fired blanks in the three races selected on Friday but there was certainly one to take out of the racing today with an eye to the future.
The Paul Nicholls trained Topofthegame was left way behind when initially refusing to race at Exeter. Not his usual behaviour. That saw him 25 lengths behind the pack and yet Topofthegame managed to finish second behind the dropping in class winner, Defi Du Seuil.
Topofthegame is 8/1 to win any race at the Cheltenham Festival next March. Clearly Paul Nicholls will be trying to get to the bottom of why Topfogthegame was . . .

As the January transfer window looms, football club owners begin to get twitchy.
Should they stick or twist when it comes to their team manager or head coach? Some have already twitched. Southampton players can look forward to a completely different style of manager coming their way. Under former Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl they will be working much harder, pressing opponents with much more gusto. This change in manager should see the Saints stay up.
Fulham already made the change and, even though they sit bottom of the Premier League right now, I'd like to think that Claudio Ranieri . . .

Unowhatimeanharry proved me right. He had not won for the last time. Pity then, that I opposed him on Friday. I was so torn to change my mind and select him to go two better than he did for me last time out, when third.
As I told members Thursday night, I suspected Unowhatimeanharry was not done with winning races. At least in that regard I was soot on. Today he won the race in which he came second a year ago.
True, we’ll never know for sure if Sam Spinner would have beaten him again as that one . . .
