Saturday's horse racing thread 🧵 York 2.25 Extremely Zain 15/8 NAP Chester 3.23 Vincent Rocks 9/1 each way York 3.35 Thunder Call 9/2 each way Sandown 3.55 Wezzeer 7/2 Chester 4.00 Tricky Tel 7/2 York 4.50 Point Of Contact 5/2 NEXT BEST There is plenty more to come from EXTREMELY ZAIN now handicapping and I think this colt can remain unbeaten here. He was mightily impressive on debut winning by seven lengths on sole start as a 2yo. He returned with a narrow success at Newbury but did well given how keen he was in the early stages. He will continue to improve with experience and has found a good opening to complete the hat-trick. The market is largely ignoring VINCENT ROCKS here which surprises me. He was right back to form beaten just over a length at Pontefract when last seen and given his unexposed profile I'm expecting him to improve again stretching back out to a mile and a quarter now. He looks to be off a good mark and with a lot of pace on this could set up perfectly for him. I'm a bit annoyed I didn't get this thread out last night as the NAP has been backed and so has THUNDER CALL who was always going to be my selection in this. I was given good word for him at Kempton and he absolutely destroyed the field. He has come out the race well and now handicapping this Pinatubo colt should improve again and go close here. This is obviously competitive but he looks a lovely prospect going forward. I know WEZZEER isn't strong in the betting but I'm not letting that put me off. This Sioux Nation colt impressed winning at Southwell and then bumped into another progressive horse when beaten less than a length at Carlisle last month. He remains completely unexposed over 7f and with the ground looking ideal I think he can get back to winning ways before being progressive in handicaps. I see no reason to try and take on TRICKY TEL off the back of that Hamilton win. He is 2 from 3 at this track as well so we know he loves it here and it could be a good day for the yard as they have plenty of runners up and down the country. He has gone up 5lb but has more to come and is a likeable type who should give us a big run for our money and hopefully come out on top under David Probert. Big chance for POINT OF CONTACT to get back in the winners enclosure. This son of Blue Point shaped with promise beaten just three lengths over C&D on reappearance last month. He has actually been dropped 2lb for that run and sharper now with Ryan Moore booked he looks the one to side with. This isn't as competitive and he ticks more boxes than most in here.
