What I enjoy about two-year-old horse racing is that it is full of surprises, potential, hope and dreams.
I'm not saying that other age groups of horses don't have a similar feel because horses will always surprise. The handicapper which goes from a 50-rating to 100. From plating races to listed class.
However, those who love two-year-old racing know that it is a fleeting time. I, personally, only work within this niche. When then next Flat turf season arrives it is a blank slate for me to write the names of new stars of the future. I follow this subject matter to the highest of standards. I managed to achieve a 2:1 degree in reading Psychology at the Open University. This racing knowledge far exceeds any academic endeavour I have followed. It is a battle of wits: HCE Vs Bookmakers (layers). Sometimes they win - sometimes they lose. Long term I bet myself to beat anyone else who tries to lay horses against me. Why am I confident? Because I work harder than most people, have vast experience and appreciate what it takes to do exactly what I do.
I run Group Horse Daily, which details the best unraced and lightly raced two-year-old colts & fillies in training. If you have never seen this website before, then take a look by clicking the link.
Today was very busy. A hell of a lot of juvenile races - 14 to be precise. Far too many. However, there were some very interesting horses. A number well regarded.
The 1:30 Nottingham (caught my eye).
Charlie Hills favourite Qutob ran well on debut when narrowly beaten.
The 8/13f ran a decent race but finished second to Mick Channon's Converter. This son of Swiss Spirit is held in high regard. I detailed this point before the race. With such a short-priced favourite it can slightly skew the betting. Few of Channon's debutants win on debut when priced over 8/1. It's a fact. If you have the software to check these things you will see the strike rate is terribly low. Converter drifted to 16/1. It is intriguing to consider what trainers think. I am sure connections hold this bay colt in very high order. But did they think beating the favourite was too much? Well, Converter was held up out the back. The reason why he touched big odds in-running on the exchanges. Racing up the rail, he coasted to the lead and won by a length or so in ready fashion.
Interesting that I state that very few of his debutantes win at double-figure prices. There have been a few. What have I learnt about these winners? When they win a big odds on debut it details a very talented horse which is likely to contest pattern class.
This won't be Converter's last win.
How many times have you heard of a talented two-year-old when it's led into the winner's enclosure! Be honest, it doesn't take Einstein to work out a decent horse when it strolls clear of the field. In fact, it can be rather irritating when all too often racing feels like a closed shop while those in the know take advantage of inside info, words from connections or the pigeon the horse was meant to have caught on the gallops.
Just imagine if you could know the best two-year-old horses in training, many before they have even set hoof on the course. Too good to be true? Well, that's what Group Horse have done for many years. They have detailed the best juveniles in training from handlers big and small across the country. Such is their confidence, they guarantee their list of prized dark horses will reveal every Listed and Group-winning two-year-old over the Flat turf season. It might sound an incredible statement but it's perfectly true. If you want to see for yourself, take a look at Group Horse website and download last year's list of 100 top horses. It provides evidence of the class of horse they know before the crowd.
Just think what you could do with that information. The opportunities it would bring.
With the new Flat turf season Group Horse will be detailing this incredible information free of charge. Their website is updated on a daily basis and make no mistake it will find winner after winner.
Know the best horses in training.
It's a funny thing but so many people don't realise what they have right in front of their nose. Always so busy searching for the one bet that will make a difference. You may have seen and read a lot of things about horse racing. You have visited many websites: some good, some bad, some...well it wouldn't be polite to say. It doesn't make much difference what people do in ways. I trundle on with my approach. I know it works. I have one piece of information that you need to consider. In fact, I would go so far to say that this website is as good as you will find. People detail what they know about a stable's top horses. They know what they are told. Grouphorse.co.uk details information that is worth its weight in gold. The best two-year-old fillies and colts in training. I'm telling you now - you will not find better information. Take a look at this entries page here. Jot down the best unraced juveniles, watch them...and then come back and tell me what you think. I don't need to wait for your reply. You will find winner after winner.
