RACING BOWLS HIM OVER
⭕ 3.45 Brighton Mile My memories of the Brighton Belle in an earlier column – about the famous luxury train from London to Brighton races – do not have the history some readers imply!
Hyperion won the Derby the year southern-line rail electrification was completed and it was 1933.
Even if you go back to a twinkle in my sire’s eye, you have to take the clock forward, past Never Say Die and Lester Piggott.
Hurdles racing was invented at Brighton in 1827. Norah Wilmot was officially the first woman trainer to win a race there in 1966. Sheikh Mohammed had his first winner in England at Brighton in 1977.
Super batsman Ted Dexter’s next best game was golf but the legendary cricketer was also a racing man, such a fan of Brighton races he was said to have declared for Sussex while on the course.
Move me on to Trent Bridge trying to get an interview with Garfield Sobers, who had hit six sixes from six balls for Nottinghamshire. Gary was 89 last week.
I booked my interview for the afternoon after one wag in the Press Room there suggested Gary would ‘hit a ton’ and be away from the crease after lunch so that he could watch the racing on TV. Never did batsman make it look so easy.
FAVOURITES: Winning Brighton Mile favourites in the decade: only 1-10. DRAW: Stalls 9, 4, 10, 5, 12, 6, 10, 2, 2. JOCKEYS: Five winners out of eight ridden by claimers.
ODDS: The Mile could complete a hat-trick of big-priced winners today; the last two SPs have been 40-1 and 28-1, both six-year-olds, both out of stall 2.
FORM: The stats match up today in that a 7lb claimer, Ashley Lewis, will ride Robbo out of gate 2 for local trainers Gary and Josh Moore, who are on a current hat-trick this afternoon.
Gary won the race in 2017, and Team Moore has another contender today with Oj Lifestyle, an easy CD winner at this meeting a year ago.
Uncle Dick scored for Eve Johnson Houghton last year, and the trainer had 8-1 and 18-1 strikes at Goodwood last week.
Winning rider that day, Oliver Carmichael (7), is back off a 5lb lower rating, with a visor fitted first time.
Havana Mojito has won twice over the mile at Brighton but both were in class 6.
Betdaq Betting Exchange 12 Robbo, 15 Oj Lifestyle, 17 Uncle Dick
JEWELRY NAP CAN SHINE
⭕ 7.10 Kempton William Haggas gives himself three chances of a hat-trick today after a Monday double at Windsor.
I expect a sparkling success for Jewelry (7.10), his only runner at Kempton and pick of a full hand for Tom Marquand on the seven-race card.
Haggas has scored 16 times in his last 12 day’s racing and is on 88 winners this year (23% strike rate)
⭕ 8.20 Kempton Rossa Ryan, who hit a century for the season at Goodwood – and I mean winners not runs – expects to make up for the double BF against Satavia’s name.
She was beaten favourite at Windsor in May, so green she stumbled and threw away her chance behind Blue Bolt, who completed a hat-trick in a Sandown Listed a month back.
