Long Walk Hurdle Preview – Key Form Lines – Adam Mills
The Howden Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot is the last Grade 1 to be run before Christmas. This race has an illustrious history with the likes of Paisley Park, Big Buck’s, Reve de Sivola and Baracouda all with their name on the trophy on multiple occasions since the turn of the century. At 2:25 on […]
Abu Dhabi 15th December
This Sunday saw one of the feature racecards of the entire season at the Abu Dhabi Turf Club, the UAE President Cup meeting. A card with 10,800,000 AED (£2.3m) on offer in prize-money is worth a watch and having looked through the TPD data, there are some interesting angles to this form for the Arabian-breds. […]
Weekly Review 16th December – Adam Mills
This weekend’s racing review includes a look at the return of National Hunt racing to Windsor and some of the early trends from the TPD data. It is hard to draw any firm conclusions from a 7-race card, but there are some key pointers to note about track positioning and how the pace develops. Alongside […]
Meydan Preview 13th December – Adam Mills
We are back at Meydan on Friday evening for an 8-race card that includes the Group 2 Madjani Stakes for the Arabian-breds. As we move closer to the Carnival in the New Year, it is important to keep an eye on the handicap form, but the races for the 2 and 3-year-olds that appeal most […]

Weekend Review – 6-8th Dec – Adam Mills
The weather has played its part in this weekend’s racing review, but the winds of change may be doing more than causing Racing to be cancelled as the British horses began to make their case for festival glory. Here’s a look at some of the data from Sandown on Saturday, with a particular focus on […]
Meydan Preview 6th December – Adam Mills
Friday’s card at Meydan looks very competitive. There are certainly some exciting 3-year-olds on show, most notably the recent Jebel Ali maiden winners Marsoom and Attwaal. Those races should provide some clues for the Carnival races in the New Year, but we do have a Listed Sprint for the older horses and some decent form […]
Weekend Review 30th Nov – Adam Mills
This weekend’s racing was billed as the big clash between Sir Gino and Mystical Power at Newcastle. That didn’t quite transpire as the latter fluffed his lines, but I don’t think that should detract from what was still a Grade 1 performance from the winner. Here is my analysis of this weekend’s highlights from Newcastle […]
Fighting Fifth Hurdle Preview – Adam Mills
We may not have Constitution Hill at Newcastle this weekend, but we do have what looks to be an intriguing match between Sir Gino and Mystical Power. It’s never an easy task for a 4-year-old to step into open company, but there is plenty of evidence from the data last season to suggest that Sir […]
Weekend Review 22nd – 24th November – Adam Mills
A weekend of contrasting conditions is perhaps the best way to describe this weekend’s review. On the one hand we have the fast dirt conditions in Dubai that continue to favour early speed and on the other hand, we have the deep mud at Haydock where the first Grade 1 race of the British Jumps […]
