What a Sunday. It was one of those days where the track was the only place to be. We had twenty-three runners across three tracks, and while the game is never about finding every single winner, the strike rate gave us plenty to cheer about. It is the kind of day that reminds you why we love this sport, even when the margins are tight.
Ffos Las
Ffos Las was the engine room of the day. The Welsh track turned up trumps for us, providing a steady stream of winners that kept the momentum moving in the right direction. It was a masterclass in reading the pace and finding those runners who were ready to peak.

@ 9/2The Curragh
Over in Ireland, the racing was typically competitive. The Curragh never hides its light under a bushel, and the Renaissance Stakes was the highlight of the afternoon for us.

Epsom is always about tactical awareness. The camber and the turns demand a jockey who knows exactly where to be.

Looking ahead, keep a close eye on any runner dropping into these Class 6 handicaps at Ffos Las. The data is starting to show a real bias toward horses with improving form sequences over those who have just been ticking along. At the Curragh, watch for those Joseph O'Brien runners in the longer distance events; his training for stamina is currently finding a rhythm that the handicappers are having trouble keeping up with. Always keep your eyes on the pace maps. If you see a race where a horse is clearly the only one who can cut out the tempo, that is where your value sits, as we saw with Macarone.
