Send us Fan Mail This week we are incredibly excited to say that we hit the 100 EPISODES milestone!  We started this for a bit of fun in January '22 with no designs on where it would take us but we wanted to answer some of the many questions we had about the sport we love.  And we think we did that in our "Deep Ground" sections of each episode which now, we like to think, cumulative...

Send us Fan Mail As the dust settles on another memorable March week at HQ, our minds start to turn towards the rest of the spring festivals and, of course, nothing stands out more on the horizon than the Grand National itself.  So this week, Bruno and I do the decent thing and get well and truly stuck into the greatest jumps race of them all in an effort to find some antepost value as well as a s...

Send us Fan Mail As the cold snap sees off Warwick and threatens Kempton this weekend, we've decided not to waste our time going through meetings that may not be on and, instead, focus purely on our first Antepost Angle segment of this season, specifically the markets for the Supreme, the Turners and the Albert Bartlett. On the face of it these markets had a murky look about them, with the ex...
