Newsletter - Paddock Watcher Eyes Racing Post Partnership
July 04, 2019
Hi

Dee Thompson, our resident Paddock Watcher, is joining forces with a Racing Post stats writer to produce a supercharged tips service.

The plan is to combine Dee's paddock observations which highlight horses at peak form and ready to win with stats produced by the R.P. journalist which analyze optimum race conditions such as draw, track preference, going, etc.

Watch this space for more news or contact me by replying to this email if you are interested.

Dee attended two meetings at Newmarket last week and I list below her paddock notes and race results.
