High Hope, KY, May 18 Preview
First race the Starter Allowance, Regal Again has done nothing wrong, is very consistent and looks set to tote the heavy load of 158 to the winners circle, Big Brush, from the Tom Voss stable will run him close. In the second race, Smoking Signal, with apprentice jockey Tiffany Mueller in the irons, for hall of fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard, looks set for a comfortable victory.

The third race looks like a quick double for the Mueller Sheppard combination with Free Admission. For the exacta we like Marino Felix for Sanna Hendricks. The final race, the Maiden Timber Race is our nap selection, Chinese Whisper, trained by Neil Morris and ridden by Chris Read. Clearly the horse with the most experience in the race, and experience will certainly count here.

Nap of the day, Chinese Whisper.

Radnor, PA, May 17 Preview
First race is very tricky today, but we will look for Sham Aciss for the Gus Brown Jack Fisher combination. For the exacta we'll look for the first time starter With a Star for Sanna Hendricks and her in form stable. For the second race we look for Preemptive Strike for Paul Rowland and Robby Walsh, he gets in with only 139 pounds, and if he repeats his Atlanta form there will be no looking back. Mulahen, with a change of jockey (champion Dave Bentley) could be close at the finish with a change of luck. How Goes, for trainer Janet Elliott should complete the trifecta.

The third, the big race of the day, The National Hunt Cup (Grade III) may go to Al Skywalker from wire to wire under the _very_ confident Tom Foley. This will not be an easy race however, Tom Voss has a double challenge with Quel Senor and Anofferyoucantrefuse, either could go close. The fourth, the Radnor Hunt Cup Timber Stake, Wood Whistle, second in the Maryland Hunt Cup in his most recent start, should be the one to beat, under Blair Waterman. For the exacta, we take Rosbrian with Charlies Dewan for the third spot.

The fifth, the Sport of Kings Claimer, looks a great spot for Ethical Actions and Greek Hero to battle it out. Will Dave Bentley have enough for the finish drive ? The closer for the day, the Maiden Claimer, looks like the third for Dave Bentley on the day with Master Rasper, who was second in his last start. Yorkin, with Matt McCarron may run him close at the finish.

Nap of the day Wood Whistle.

Willowdale, PA, May 11 Review
The first race, won by the in form jockey Tom Foley, on Wild Choice for trainer Bruce Miller. This was a 3 mile timber race, and Northern Thinking, our pick for the race was a decent second with Punchino and Richard Boucher making the trifecta. River Bed, who we had tipped the previous week, and past on for this race made a fool of us, and won under Michael Traurig for trainer Kathy Neilson. Local Treasure under David Bentley, was second, a nice improvement from his previous run. Third was Major Conquest with the jack Fisher Gus Brown combo getting close again.

Charlie Fenwick III took the Willowdale Steeplechase for amateur riders, his second win for the weekend, riding Secret Impression for Ann Stewart. Bavario, our pick was second with Red Panda third. The fourth was won by Storybook Ending, trained by Ricky Hendricks and ridden by Danielle Hodsdon. Tom Foley, continuing a strong weekend was second with Sail My Vessel and Heyday Halo was third for Jody Petty.

Fifth race, a Foxhunters Chase for amateur riders, was won by Joe Six for trainer Paddy Neilson. Second was our pick Holzmann for trainer Lileth Boucher and finishing third was Melting for trainer Elizabeth Korrell.

The final two races, both flat races for amateur riders, were won by Flying Contraption (S Strawbridge) and Father Krismas Charles Fenwick III). This makes for a great weekend Charles Fenwick III with his three winners.

Not much luck with the tips at Willowdale, but planning a swift return to form with Pimlico, Radnor and High Hope this weekend.
