Juicy lay and back tip for email subscribers yesterday, I wrote:
"Three best bets today, tough to find value bets this afternoon with non-runners and odds on shots galore but I hope to have found 3 good ones. In the 3.15 Leic I am going for one of my favourite combos laying Sweet Gale and backing My Gacho 6/1 each way. Urban Poet and Crimewriter are both win bets although a saver on Johnstons other runner Clientele 8/1 4 Ham may be prudent.
Result! Sweet Gale unplaced, My Gacho won 7/1 as proofed
Not too shabby on the jackpot race card either:

Tudor Key makes all-weather bow at Lingfield (From The Northern Echo)
Tudor Key makes all-weather bow at Lingfield (From The Northern Echo):
"Sir Mark Prescott traditionally starts rolling into form as the summer progresses and his Casual Garcia catches the eye in the Weatherby's Bloodstock Insurance Handicap. On brief inspection of his first run of the season, the portents are not great as he finished tailed off behind the useful Judgethemoment in a handicap at Ascot in May.
But his debuts as a two- and three-year-old were similarly abject, and last term he ended up rattling off three wins.The two-mile distance appears to be no stumbling block and, as many hardened punters will know, horses must be forgiven the occasional bad run. The market closer to the time will provide the greatest insight into Casual Garcia’s claims, but the fact the baronet is persevering with him suggests there is more to come."

Bargain buy Sirvino proves worth at York (From The Northern Echo)
Bargain buy Sirvino proves worth at York (From The Northern Echo):
"SIRVINO completed his rags-to-riches story by taking his unbeaten record this season to five in the 50th John Smith’s Cup at York.
Thirsk trainer David Barron paid just £3,000 for the horse as a yearling at Newmarket and the gelding has now won £120,000 in prizemoney for property developers Theo Williams and Charles Mocatta.
Giving 3lb claimer Neil Brown his biggest success, the 16-1 shot foiled the gallant attempt by Ryan Moore on The Queen’s runner Kingdom Of Fife to make all the running in this valuable heritage handicap.
Joining the leader two furlongs out, Sirvino forged clear to win by two and three-quarter lengths. Albaqaa finished strongly for third, two and a half lengths away, with Seeking The Buck fourth.
‘‘I thought he was a nice horse but I never thought we would be here today at the start of the season,’’ said Barron. ‘‘He is a nice horse and has a good attitude. I’m getting older now and I like these types ‘‘You are dreaming all the time but when you get slot 16 you think, ‘oh dear here we go’, but Neil’s a good lad. ‘‘I left it entirely to him and not to push forward too soon and to get to rail as soon as you can after the bend. ‘‘I’ve never won this race before and have only had a couple of runners.’’ Hawick-born Brown, 23, said: ‘‘With every run he’s got better and better – he’s so straightforward. ‘‘I was a further back than I would have liked but I managed to get a run up the rails.
‘‘I thought he (runner-up Kingdom Of Fife) might get going again, but my lad kept battling.’’ Moore also had to settle for second place with similar tactics on Warringah in the John Smith’s Extra Smooth Silver Cup Stakes.
It was a close call, with Hits Only Vic (16-1) getting up by a short head and Magicalmysterytour another nose away in third.
Declan Carroll, celebrating his first Listed triumph, will consider bringing the fiveyear- old back to York for the Ebor.

National Trainers' Foundation chief Rupert Arnold calls for drugs debate | Sport | The Guardian
National Trainers' Foundation chief Rupert Arnold calls for drugs debate | Sport | The Guardian: "Rupert Arnold, the chief executive of the National Trainers' Federation, said yesterday that he has 'no personal knowledge at all' of how widely tranexamic acid (TA), the anti-bleeding agent at the centre of the Nicky Henderson doping case, is used in British stables.
Arnold also renewed a recent call by the NTF for 'a wider debate about the nature of prohibited drugs ... because there are treatments that are designed to make horses' lives more comfortable and assist with the rigours of training that do not in themselves enhance performance.'
Henderson was banned from running horses for three months, and fined £40,000, by the British Horseracing Authority's disciplinary panel after he was found to have given TA to a mare owned by the Queen before a race in February.
The NTF issued a statement shortly afterwards which expressed 'sympathy' for Henderson, described his punishment as 'severe', and added that 'this [medication] is becoming a difficult area for trainers to manage'. This prompted speculation that the Federation might be aware of other trainers using the same, or similar, substances on a regular basis."

Racing abandoned as Worcester runs dry - Horse Racing News | Racing Post
Racing abandoned as Worcester runs dry - Horse Racing News | Racing Post:
"RACING was abandoned in controversial circumstances after just one race at Worcester on Wednesday, with the hot weather taking its toll as the track ran short of water for the horses.
After the first, Highland Laddie collapsed due to heat exhaustion and required '600 to 800 gallons of water [2,700 to 3,600 litres]' to revive him, diminishing the supplies on course.
After a lengthy delay and an inquiry during which they consulted jockeys and trainers, the stewards elected to call off the meeting on 'wholly equine grounds'. Explaining the reason for the abandonment, stipendary steward Richard Westdrop said: 'Due to the excessive heat and the fact it was 85 degrees (29.4C) in the racecourse stables, the horses were arriving on the track already dehydrated before they had run in the race.
'The decision to abandon was a wholly equine welfare condition. We took expert advice from our vet Jilly Hancock and Mr Andrew Harrison, a senior veterinary official on the course.'
Before the decision was taken to abandon, clerk of the course Fergus Cameron had tried to access a fire hydrant in the centre of the course to reach more urgently needed water, and raceourse staff with hosepipes were seen filling up water containers.
It was an ironic twist for the course, which has suffered from flooding over the last two summers and was unable to race."

Northumbrland Plate (From The Northern Echo):
"THE Northumberland Plate took place in front of a packed crowd at Newcastle on Saturday, and produced a 16-1 winner in Som Tala.
The nine-year-old trained by Mick Channon made all the running to win Europe’s richest stayers’ handicap under jockey Tony Culhane, who was winning the race for the first time.
Later in the day Culhane and Channon teamed up again by landing the maiden stakes with The Human League at odds of 9-4."
