Hi, Matt here, You may have heard that racing is to go behind closed doors from today, Tuesday. It's my best guess that very soon after, there will be a pause in the sport with no racing taking place. Clearly, given what is going on everywhere else - not just in other sports, or more […]
Monday's pick was... 3.40 Kelso : Calle Malva @ 4/1 BOG 2nd at 7/2 (Held up in 5th, outpaced after 3 out, rallied chasing leaders before last, went right and every chance last, ridden and no extra run-in, beaten by 2 lengths) Tuesday's pick runs in the... 3.25 Taunton : Before I post the daily […]

Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health as well as […]
Saturday's pick was... 4.00 Fontwell : Jimmy @ 3/1 BOG PU at 7/4 (Chased leaders on inside, switched outside before 4th, reminders and not travel well after next, reluctant and dropped out quickly after 9th, soon pulled up) Monday's pick runs in the... 3.40 Kelso : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick […]

So, as intimated last weekend, I was right to swerve Cheltenham for SotD purposes (in fact, I only had 2 bets all Festival, a 5/2 win on Min and a defeat for Easy Game), but my results here were no better than many of you fared at Chelts, sadly. It was largely a tale of […]
Friday's pick was... 6.00 Southwell : Gorgeous General @ 7/2 BOG 5th at 9/2 (Led, headed over 3f out, weakened inside final furlong) : another poor show in what has been a wretched week, if I'm honest. Saturday's pick runs in the... 4.00 Fontwell : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder […]
You can't win 'em all, as the saying goes. And that was certainly true of my wagering week at the biggest meeting of them all, the Cheltenham Festival, writes Matt Bisogno. In the spirit of openness, I've produced a short video review of my book, warts and all. In fairness, it is pretty much all […]
It's always a bit quiet this weekend with the Cheltenham hangovers, but there is still ITV Racing to take in with the cameras heading to Uttoxeter, with the Midlands National the feature, while they are also at Kempton Park.
