Black bookers for punters: 14th January 2014
Sandown race course and Sandown Trials
Good afternoon punters and here a few sure fire winners coming up if they continue to improve in fitness, if they don’t, we will lose. It’s that simple.
Sandown conducted 4 x 800 metre trials on Tuesday 13/01/2015 with the powerful Godolphin stable was the star with 4 great black bookers.
Many saw these horses but our edge is that all four have Group 1 conformation written all over them, so you can back with some confidence as they go through their grades.
4-5 are Godolphin horses, so keep a good eye out for them.

Sandown Lakeside: Slow 5 14-01-15
Terrible day on fitness ratings and after 6 races, I left the course without having a bet.
However some great black bookers are here to follow if they improve 1% - 2% in fitness next start.
All black bookers are nice type horses, no ponies so you can follow with confidence if they have top weights.
Race 1 3yo and upwards 1400 metres
The nice type Karpathianon 18/97% fit, tired in the last bit and following this impressive type next start, can win
Spruiking on 17/97% fit moved up mid race and weakened because it had a low blood count, watch out for at odds in easier races shortly.
Race 2 3yo 1200 metres
The nice type Mossara Lad, with good strength factors on 17/96 raced on the pace early only to weaken out of it, again on 17 (85%) blood count this was always going to happen, can improve.
Has 4 lengths in fitness improvement left.
Undoubledly Grand from the Robbie Lang stable again another horse on 17/95 will improve in fitness with that under its belt, look out for country run.
The Colin and Cindy Alderson trained, Andrassy on 17/96 ran a nice 4th and watch out for next start as a nice type of horse.
Race 3 Benchmark 64 1600 metres
Winner Varboss trained by Michael Kent, gave me the early tip this horse as he walked the track for about 30 minutes, an hour before the race, looking for the best running.
Varboss was strongly supported in favourite and proved too good for an ordinary lot on 17/96%.
Just be a bit careful here as there will be raps, but his strength factors are low, so caution and have to rate the horse before you bet next start.
Nice big strong black, Leadfoot, has no results at Sandown but on 18/96% is ready to run a big race when on his favourite track in the next 2 weeks, watch out for as getting fit.
The stocky and strong type, Eye of the World led and weakened out of it because low blood counts on 17, watch when it has a higher blood count rating and try then.
Race 4 3yo and upwards 1500
Got a good thing here punters, Inishowen from the Freedman camp only 17/95, nice type made a big run over the last 300 metres and the apprentice jockey could not control the horse over the last 100, with it ducking in many times.
This horse is better than these and I am sure that Lee will pump up its blood to 19 and fitness up to 97-98, with a solid fitness rating of 19/98 and can win as has 5 lengths in fitness left in the tank.
So check it out.
Calvalho, a nice type had no distance form and sure enough when the race was there to be won it weakened out of it.
On 17/96 get it back to 1400 in easier grade and can win at nice odds.
Canterbury
Very nice horse to follow the great type Zestful on 18/96 is strong type and well in the markets.
Last out, weaved it way through the field and won like a good horse.
Still has 4 lengths in fitness improvement and try again in 20 odds days 2nd up, or be careful if races again soon.
Thanks punters and good luck
