BrancepethFan: August 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2005. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 1:30 PM. Saturday, August 27, 2005. Shock horror - no Cartmel winner. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 9:30 PM. Wednesday, August 24, 2005. Back with a whimper. The ground ended up riding really fast at Worcester, and PEQUENITA was duly withdrawn from the Handicap Chase. She is due to run at Bangor back over hurdles tomorrow instead, and the unsettled forecast offers encouragement for her chances of running. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 12:31 PM. REEDSMAN and Y...

BrancepethFan: September 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2005. LES ARCS, turned out again quickly after his good reappearance at Ayr seven days earlier, found the company in his Class 2 7f Newmarket Handicap a bit too hot, and he was left for dead with two furlongs to go under French pilot C-P Lemaire. The 4lb rise for the Ayr run won't have helped, and he's now 10lb in total higher than when last winning. SOUTHWELL, 1/10/05 (FLAT);. Fit to Fly, Roan Raider. REDCAR, 1/10/05 (FLAT);. Bella Fiorella, Yassooma. KELSO, 2/10/05 (JUMPS);.

BrancepethFan: July 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Both ends of the racing spectrum. The two meetings at which Richard Guest has had runners so far this week could hardly be further apart in terms of class, with three runners' participation in a pretty grim jumps card at Sedgefield on Monday followed by a trip to Glorious Goodwood yesterday. I know which of the two I prefer (clue: not Goodwood! As long as there's mud. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 1:00 PM. Sunday, July 24, 2005. SOUTHWELL, HAMILTON and PONTEFRACT 15/7/05. Over at R...

BrancepethFan: October 2006
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 21, 2006. Nobody should be kidding themselves that European Dream. Handicaps and novices' handicaps in which 3yos get a stonking weight allowance are starting to appear more and more at this time of year, and I'd have no particular fear of him taking in one such contest. As with European Dream, Red Scally. He represented the first leg of a double for Richard Guest on the Carlisle card, with Why The Big Paws. Post when a well-held fourth at the same venue previously, I notice that that e...

BrancepethFan: June 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2005. Near-miss at Rasen, no joy at Uttox. The same rain that had doused Market Rasen on Friday took any jar out of the going at Uttoxeter today, and the Summer National meeting was played out on perfect summer jumping ground, i.e. safe good to firm. Richard Guest sent three horses into battle, and came back home with four, but alas no prizemoney - frankly none of his runners came close to scoring. Pipe 156,483.21. Guest 148,565.50. Nicholls 119.869.30. Hobbs 116,619.88. Finally, DRUMOSS...

BrancepethFan: April 2006
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 03, 2006. Four months of fun. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 6:13 AM. Shotgun on the cusp. Following the latest forfeit stage of the Grand National, Shotgun Willy is just the wrong side of the cut-off point for the maximum field, in position 42. Ross Comm and Spot Thedifference are set to carry the same weight as him, 10-5, but I think I'm right in saying he got drawn out before them. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 6:01 AM.

BrancepethFan: November 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2005. Carpe Momentum - where the result really didn't matter. 18th out of 23 having shown very little on the way round is never usually much of a cause of relief, or celebration, even. However, the fact that CARPE MOMENTUM was even able to make a racecourse appearance has seemed very unlikely on at least two occasions in an already eventful past. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 5:56 PM.

BrancepethFan: October 2005
http://brancepethfan.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. Weekend action - hello again, swamp donkeys. READY TO RUMBLE (3rd) and ASSUMETHEPOSITION (5th) made up a third of the field in the novices' handicap chase. The former made a bid for victory from halfway which was only finally beaten off completely in the run-in, whereas the latter was sticky at his fences on his first outing since June, and would have prefered a longer trip anyway. He'll be better for his next run. Posted by Jeremy Grayson @ 12:43 PM. Friday, October 28, 2005.
