2.40 hayd COE

racingPost - Coe was rated 128 over hurdles, the same as today's winner, but he made a mistake at the second fence and his rider dropped his whip, which was obviously far from ideal for a chasing debutant. He can do better back over further on easier ground.

racingPost - Naiad Du Misselot, last year's Coral Cup winner, ran a huge race on his chasing debut. Racing on ground quicker than his trainer considered ideal, he made a bad mistake early on, but quickly recovered and travelled as well as anything. He looked the likeliest winner approaching the last, and produced a better jump there than Rightway Star, but he was ultimately just run out of it. He had reportedly done plenty of work, but he can still be expected to come on for this and he looks a smart recruit to chasing.


4.10 hayd ALFLORA DORA

racingPost -Alflora Dora was nowhere near the form she showed on her only previous start in a Cheltenham bumper in April.

There are two HTF horses running in the same race today at Haydock which can be a problem sometimes.

However the one to be with today is;

The other horse to watch is NAIAD DU MISSELOT who will probably need his first run like most horses from his stable do.


4.10 hayd ALFLORA DORA

Is also one for today, highly thought of by the stable she is thought capable of winning a mares Bumper before going hurdling.

Thats it, lets hope for 2 winning performances today!!

High Court injunction for bogus tipster

Paul Eacott


A BOGUS tipster from West Sussex has been prevented from carrying out any more scams after being hit with a High Court injunction following action taken by the OFT.

Denis McCarthy sent out a series of mailshots under the name of D&E Associates offering a racing tipster service which, at a cost of up to £397, promised the chance to win "over £2,000 per week tax free". It is believed that more than 4,000 people sent money in response to the letters, netting McCarthy an estimated £300,000.

The OFT considered the mailings to be misleading as they gave the impression that the supposed experts behind D&E Associates, Peter Deegan and Christopher Emmerson, were real people with over 60 years combined experience in the racing industry who had access to inside information.

It was claimed that Deegan "had been involvedwith horse racing for nearly 40 years", and had worked as a "private handicapper for the biggest punter/owner in the UK", while Emmerson was "extremely well known within the racing fraternity". In fact, there was no evidence that either person actually existed.
Further misleading claims were made about the past success of the tipping service, including that members had made "over £350,000 clear tax-free profit in the previous six years". McCarthy failed to provide any evidence to substantiate these claims.

Mike Haley, director of consumer protection at the OFT, said: "These mailings used fictitious names and false claims to mislead thousands of consumers into sending money in the belief they would have access to a successful tipster service."

The High Court injunction prohibits McCarthy from continuing to be involved in the publication of misleading advertisements promoting tipster services.

The OFT, who were assisted by Brighton & Hove local authority trading standards service during the investigation, estimate that that the public lose at least £5 million every year to bogus racing tipsters.

Scambusters Latest Warning!!

Racehorse Investments mail should be binned


Graham Green

THE Office of Fair Trading, determined to foil the latest bid by fraudsters to fleece unwitting punters, is urging everybody who receives a mailshot from Racehorse Investments Ltd to "put it straight in the bin."

Members of the OFT's Scambusters team are concerned that as the recession starts to bite, recipients of the high-quality brochure that promises earnings of up to £70,000 a year tax free could be seduced into sending off the joining fee.

The bogus tipsters are understood to be using a mailing list as the punter who alerted the Racing Post, John Buck from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, was among those targeted by the fictitious All England Racing Club 18 months ago, and two operations are thought to emanate from the same source in the Brighton area.

The advertising material contains a family portrait featuring somebody named Alan Stapleton who, pictured with his wife and dog, claims to have won £340,000 since signing up to the Racehorse Investments service six years ago.
But investigation has revealed the photograph is available from a company in Canada which specialises in selling stock pictures.

The supposed head office for Racehorse Investments at 34 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1 is similarly misleading with a Scambusters investigator saying:

"It is a mailing address that has been used by a lot of fraudsters."

He added: "We are investigating Racehorse Investments Ltd, and believe it is the latest scam to come off the assembly line of a gang that has been operating in this field for some time.

The best thing anybody who gets the brochure can do is put it straight in the bin."

Buck said: "When I looked at the mailshot, it appeared too good to be true, but it is a glossy 12-page brochure and I am sure some people will be taken in by it so the more the fact that it is a scam is publicised, the better."

1.05 aint RIPPLING RING - 5th

RacingPost - Rippling Ring, moved stylishly during the race, but folded tamely approaching the last hurdle. There did not seem any obvious excuse for his weak finishing-effort.


1.35 aint TATENEN - 1st @ 4/7

RacingPost - Bookmakers fell over themselves to cut the winner for the Arkle just TATENEN’s impressive display, but there is a long time between now and the festival, and prices around 6-1 make little appeal. That said, he is clearly an exciting horse to look forward to.


2.40 aint BLACK JACARI - 2nd @ Evs

RacingPost - Black Jacari shaped well on his hurdling debut, but he did not conclusively prove that he was that willing in front. Held up early, he was given every chance to get past the winner under a powerful ride, but gave the impression that he was not fussed whether he went past or not. It will be interesting to see how he performs on a stiffer course.


4.25 aint HORA - 1st @ 7/2

RacingPost - HORA won on her debut at Ascot before easily following up in a 2m4f mares' novice at Hereford. This trip should have suited considering her best Flat efforts, and one always got the impression that the jockey had something up his sleeve despite losing his position a couple of times in the latter stages. She has surely earned a step up in class now.


1.20 chep JUNIOR - 5th @ 7/4

RacingPost - Last year's Coral Cup third Junior was well backed for this seasonal return, despite the fact he had still to taste success as a hurdler. He is not straightforward, but the pick of his form last season shows he is very capable on his day and a confidence-boosting drop in grade now looks a wise move for him.


2.20 chep BIGFELLATHANKS - 3rd @ 4/6

RacingPost - Big Fella Thanks, who signed off his novice season over hurdles with an official mark of 139, is every inch a chaser and jumped like a handicapper out in front. He felt the pinch from two out, but kept gamely to his task and eventually went down fighting. He is another who should peak this season and will not be long in finding a winning opportunity, with a softer surface likely to help his cause.


2.50 chep FOREST PENNANT - 2nd @ 5/2

RacingPost - Forest Pennant, last seen winning at Aintree on Grand National day, was popular in the betting despite resuming from a 10lb higher mark. He ran a blinder in defeat and was only agonisingly reeled in at the line after being produced to lead after four out. He remains progressive and looks yet another potentially decent chasing prospect for his leading stable.


3.05 str THE POLOMOCHE - 1st @ 2/1

RacingPost - A competitive handicap run at a strong pace which had most of the field under pressure leaving the back straight. Most, that is, except THE POLOMOCHE, who came away from the field and won with complete ease. He looks to have a bright future andwill be kept to handicap hurdles.
