My primary betting targets are the handicap events – with preference for the most valuable big-field races contested by the older horses….

My default setting is to oppose the most fancied runners and to dig out dark horses that can run big races at big prices….

---- Races of potential interest this week (as of Monday morning) – from a betting perspective – include….

• Saturday 18th October – Ascot – the Balmoral….

---- Big-race targets coming up soon include….

To be confirmed….
