Racing Tips May 23
Not long now until the crowds will flock to Epsom for the Oaks on May 31st and the Derby on June 1st.
The fields have shaken down a little of late, but there remain several unknowns. Sir Dragonet remains the 10/3 favourite. Not for me, thank you. Also trainer Aidan O'Brien has hinted he may swerve the Derby and send that Chester winner to a race in Ireland instead.
His stablemate Broome is well fancied by many a watcher of Irish racing and has been backed into 4/1. Another possible O'Brien contender for the Derby, Anthony . . .

It's always nice to begin a racing day with a 20/1 winner. Especially when the past the post price on the day is only half that.
I am glad my vibes were good about Good Vibes. Here's what I told members yesterday about why I fancied that one at an each way price:- "I take a chance on last time out Class 3 Salisbury winner, Good Vibes. The two year old filly is still a baby but she had two good runs in April. First when she finished second in a Class 4 maiden despite having . . .

So Leeds United have blown it. What seemed unthinkable a few months ago - before 'Spygate' - has happened. Leeds players have 'bottled' what looked like certain automatic promotion. Now they've lost the play off semi-final to Derby County.
While I hope it doesn't mean we've seen the last of Marcelo Bielsa in English football, I am delighted for Derby manager Frank Lampard. To go to Elland Road having lost the first leg was going to require some effort from the Rams but they saw off Leeds and Derby will now meet Aston Villa in the final.

A mixed day for trainer John Gosden at York. Lah Ti Dar won but made hard work of it. Stablemate Too Darn Hot was beaten by Telecaster, which displayed more stamina. Connections of the Telecaster appear to have made a mistake when withdrawing that winner from the Derby back in March. It would have cost £1000 to keep him entered for the race on June 1st. Now, should the owners want to put Telecaster back in for that race, it will cost them £85.000 to do so. Ouch!
Perhaps they will swerve Epsom and go for the Irish Derby . . .

No finer sight for my eyes than the Knavesmire racecourse at York being bathed in sunshine and horses able to race on what Frankie Dettori called "perfect ground."
Frankie loves the place almost as much as I do and I was delighted to see him win the first race on Wednesday aboard my 6/1 tip, First Eleven. It was a hard fought finish for Frankie but there's nobody I want more on one of my horses in that situation than Dettori. He continues to defy age and last season we saw him ride better than ever. I'm . . .
