The UK flat season may have only just got underway earlier this month, but many punters are already beginning to scour the ante-post markets in a bid to unearth some value. With a number of top-class fillies already entered into the race, the 1,000 Guineas looks set to be another suitable competitive affair, and John Oxx's Skitter Skatter has been installed as the early market leader. The three-year-old, sired by Scat Daddy, is certainly an outstanding prospect, but many pundits have begun to speculate about whether she will be able to justify a single-figure price in such a red-hot event.
John Oxx has recently joined forces with his neighbour Patrick Prendergast, and pair look set to form a formidable partnership this summer. Their stable star Skitter Skatter enjoyed a highly successful juvenile campaign and also holds an entry to the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh. Having won three of her first five outings on the flat, big things are expected of the three-year-old. Scat Daddy has a tremendous record with his two-year-olds, with the likes of Beatboxer and Legends of War also picking up notable victories in recent weeks.
Skitter Skatter was successful in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, comfortably beating Lady Kaya by two lengths. She was subsequently installed as the 7/1 favourite for the 1,000 Guineas. The Newmarket Group 1, which is contested on the Rowley Mile has attracted a plethora of high-quality entrants with the likes of Just Wonderful, Dancing Vega and the aforementioned Lady Kaya all prominent in the betting. Former Cheveley Park runner-up The Mackem Bullet may also return to the UK for trainer Wesley Ward, and she is currently 20/1 in the latest horse racing betting to spring a surprise. Having been previously trained by Brian Ellison, the impressive filly moved to the US and has made a winning start for her new yard. She was victorious in the Grade 2 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland at the beginning of April, seeing off a late challenge from Catch A Thrill.
John Oxx claimed that his star-filly was "underrated" last season, and suggests that there is still plenty of improvement to come. He also praised her temperament, before suggesting that they won't be testing her beyond a mile anytime soon.
It's been a tough couple of years for the trainer, who has found winners hard to come by, but his newly-formed partnership with Prendergast looks promising, and the pair will be targetting a number of lucrative contests this summer. They currently have over 70 horses in training, including a number of promising two-year-olds.
Aidan O'Brien has dominated the 1,000 Guineas in recent years, with Winter, Minding and Homecoming Queen all landing the spoils for the County Tipperary-based trainer, and he is likely to be targetting the race once again. Richard Hannon's Billesdon Brook was successful in the 2018 staging of the classic under the ride of Sean Levy.
There are plenty of high-quality contests to come over the next couple of months, but the 1,000 Guineas is one of the standout events on the racing calendar, and some value-hunting punters are already beginning to place their ante-post bets on the second of the British classics. Skitter Skatter will arrive in Suffolk amid plenty of hype, and she does look to be in unstoppable form. Despite stiff competition, she should be able to further enhance her burgeoning reputation on the Rowley Mile at the beginning of May.
The first week has come and gone. Three tipsters put points on the board. Gazmachine found the Grand National winner and put 10pts in his pocket. Tiger Roll winning like a champion. Jodonovan and Betmanmike found place efforts and have 7.25pts each. Fourth places are worth as much as a winner, almost. Plenty to play for in this relatively short month. Please get your tips in nice and early. Also, make your entry fees if still outstanding. We have a 1pm deadline.

The first week of this months tipping competition. Last month went to the wire and Dan The Man had no luck when his winning tip was backed to a point where he lost the prize by a minimal 0.25pts. It just goes to show the thin line between winning and losing. Jodonovan took the spoils and will be coming back this month to make it two in a row. Unless you can prove the best tipster of the month. I'm sure many tipsters will be looking to the Grand National for their winner. A decent price could have the field in trouble from the start.

The final week of this month's competition. Exciting, close, on the edge of your seat? Perhaps. Chances are you will by the end of the day because someone will have a nice wedge of cash in their wallet or purse.
So, let's take a look at the tipster standing. Shukman found a nice winner last week to head the field and has 18pts. Dantheman found a great win to nudge into second place and a fraction behind with 16.25pts, while early leader Jodonovan sits in third with 14pts. Other players within striking distance are HCE 10pts, Longbow 8pts & Bird 6pts. Our newest tipster, Derek T, is next best with 4pts.

Congratulations to Jodonovan winning this month's competition with 21pts, from Dan The Man 20.75pts and Shukman in 3rd with 18pts. Next best HCE win 17.5pts.
Another week under our belts. A trio of tipsters put points in their pocket last Saturday. The biggest win being Dantheman who put 11pts in his satchel. Next best was Longbow who found an impressive debut winner trained by Clive Cox and put 8pts under his mattress. The other scorer was Bird who found a big priced which hit the frame for 6pts. Jodonovan still holds the lead with 14pts. It's a competitive heat so the whole field could make this their month (with a bit of luck). Get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline.

Sorry for slow results update
Not too much happened last Saturday. Well, Derek T (is it the ''Big Fella'' man) got 4pts, when his horse was a non-runner and the jolly old favourite ''levels you devils'' sauntered in to put some points on the board. Just shows how Lady Luck can help at times.
One of the tipsters contacted me convinced Shukman's One For Rosie had won and I had made a mistake saying it had finished second. I checked a few times because I have been known to make mistakes. However, it was correct, although I understand the BBC gave it as the winner or made the assumption the horse had won. It was all happening.
So, the leaderboard looks pretty much the same apart from Derek T moving into fourth place. Jodonovan leads with 14pts, HCE second with 10pts, Shukman with 6pts in third and Derek T in fourth with 4pts. Still, plenty to place for so get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline. Good luck to all.

A fair start to proceedings with three point scorers. Jodonovan heads the field with 14pts, while HCE sits in second with 10pts. The only other points came from Shukman on 6pts. We have five Saturdays this month so still plenty to play for. There's slightly less in the pot this month with Mickishi and family heading to Cheltenham. Wishing them a good few days and plenty of winners. Derek T, our newest tipster, put in a decent show with a third place last week and will be putting some points on the board in the next couple of weeks. Please get those tips in nice and early as we have a 1pm deadline. Good luck to all.

Another month. Winter has moved to the first day of spring. However, for the tipsters of our little competition, the north wind has a bite after Winter pocketed a second month running with a brutal victory of 50+ points. Can anyone stop his winning ways? No one has made it three wins in a row but he's in tremendous form. Plenty of players will be limbering up ready for action for this long month of five Saturdays. We have a new player joining the ranks. It's great to have Derek T making his debut. Good luck to him and all those who take part. Please make your entry fees if still outstanding. We have a 1 pm deadline, but get those tips in as early as you can to make my life easier.
Good luck to all.

Well, what can I say? The tipping competition looked quite open then Alan Winter found a big, juicy, mother-of-all winners and hit the nail on the head. I'm sure Mr Winter bangs home those nails with a mighty sledgehammer. He stuffed 43.25pts in his wallet and unless someone finds a handy riposte he will be pocketing £170 pounds. As it happened, other tipsters showed some form last week, too. Jodonovan pockets 13pts, Dan The Man and Gazmachine latched on to the same horse and 9pt.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard: Winter 43.25pts (looks hard to beat), Dan The Man 19pts (needs a nice winner), OneEyeEnos 16pts (fighting chance), Gazmachine 14733pts (needs a big priced winner)& Jodonovan 13pts (it can be done). Basically, everyone else needs a 20/1+ winner.
Considering Mr Winter won last month's competition he is in flying form. Get those tips in by 1pm deadline.
Good luck to all.

Congratulations to Winter winning this month's competition with a magnificent 50.25pts.
After last week's absence of meeting due to equine flue, we have a selection to choose. We had quite a few point scorers last week. The biggest OneEyeEnos 16pts, Dantheman 10pts & few more smaller shows from Bird 4pts, Gazmachine 2.4pts & HCE 1.9pts. A tally of the leaderboard shows OneEyeEnos with 16pts, while Dantheman is in second with 10pts, in third is Gazmachine 5.733. Still, plenty to play for with this and next week to grab some points.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the Grand National has changed out of all recognition since it was first run, as the Grand Liverpool Steeplechase, in 1839. Details of the National Course in its early days are sketchy, but when the runners headed ‘out in the country’ they really did, into the open countryside, some of which was ploughed, beyond the confines of Aintree Racecourse. Obstacles include natural banks, brooks, ditches and hedges, a stone wall and two standard hurdles in the home straight.
Time, and changing attitudes, saw some of those obstacles done away with and the “country” incorporated into the racecourse proper, to create a recognisably modern National Course. Of course, the National has continued to evolve over the years, to protect the welfare of horses and jockeys, without lessening the spectacle of what is, after all, an iconic, unique steeplechase.
Of all the Grand National obstacles, the one that has achieved most attention in recent years is Becher’s Brook, a 4’ 10” fence on the take-off side which, at one point, had a steep 3’ drop on the landing side. Historically, it was not uncommon for stricken horses to slide back into the infamous ditch, but the ditch was filled in 1989 and the landing side has been modified numerous times, to create a less precipitous drop of between 6” and 10”.
Similarly, the traditional, timber frames and guard rails of many of the National fences have been replaced with flexible plastic or foam-padded alternatives and guard rails have been raised to provide horses with a clear line of sight. The height of some fences has been reduced, slightly, over the years, but the filling in of ditches and levelling of landing sides at some of the more ‘macabre’ fences, such as Becher’s Brook and The Chair, has had a more profound effect on safety.
Aside from modifications to the obstacles, the National Course has been widened in parts, so that horses, loose or otherwise, can safely bypass the fences, without causing major interference to the remaining runners in the race. The position of the start has also been moved closer to the first fence, by a half a furlong – resulting in the shortening of the overall distance by the same yardage – in an effort to reduce the speed of approach and, hence, the number of fallers.
Stricter entry requirements, increased prize money and the compression of the handicap to encourage highly-rated horses to run, coupled with extensive safety changes, has arguably made the Grand National a more competitive, but less hazardous, race than ever before.
Twenty years ago, the winner of the 1999 Grand National, Bobbyjo, raced from 14lb out of the handicap and although he clearly didn’t have too much weight to retain a winning chance, the same cannot be said for the other 18 runners who raced from out of the handicap, four of whom were at 30lb ‘wrong’ at the weights. By contrast, in the 2018 Grand National, despite the lowest-rated horses to beat the ballot being officially rated 142, as they were in 1999, they all carried their correct weight of 10st 5lb, comfortably inside the handicap proper.
They say it is a long week in politics and the same is true for horse racing. With the abandonment of racing due to equine flu we are left with one meeting at Naas to ply our trade. Not ideal, I agree, but that is the fun of the Saturday Tipping Competition. We are all in the same boat. Last week saw a quiet resumption with just two point scorers. The Gazmachine leads the way with 3.333pts, while HCE has just 2.25pts. I'm back in West Palm Beach, Florida, so please get those tips in as early as possible. We have a 12 O'Clock deadline.

The final week of the tip competition. A relatively short month this fourth Saturday will result in a winner. Nothing happened last week as no one found a winner. Dan The Man and Eric Winner found second places but no points. Betmanmike holds the lead with 34pts, while OneEyeEnos is in second with 24pts and Mickishi sits in third with 22pts. Other points scorers include Gazmachine (15pts), Shukman (13.5pts) and Mark J (10.75ots). We have an early start with an 11:30am Deadline (the first race is 12 O'Clock) so please get your tips in nice and early. Still, a couple of people yet to make their entry fee so please make those.

A New Year. A new tip competition. Last month saw a couple of outstanding performers with Lindybops and Betmanmike flying high with 68pts and 38pts, respectively.
Who will win this year? Who will win this month? It's a relatively short month with four Saturdays so I doubt we will be seeing such high scores and, perhaps, a more tactical play. Time will tell. Please make your entry fees nice and early. We have an 11am deadline so get those tips in promptly. Good luck to all.
