Just two weeks until the start of the Cheltenham festival and here are my main ante post selections. (
noel pinder - stablewhisper blog)
Starluck (4th 5/1) (triumph hurdle) (
13/2 7/1 @ Ladbrokes)
The Triumph hurdle has the look of a very classy affair with Zaynar and Walk On two highly talented and progressive four-year-olds. However
Starluck is the one for me. The manner of his victories suggest there is plenty more to come and if he was with a top yard I'm sure he would be a lot shorter price.
Tatenen (Fell) (the arkle) (5/1 @ William Hill)
Tatenen could be a good thing for the Arkle. Ignore his run in Ireland there was no pace and he wasn't going an inch. His previous efforts were faultless and the trainer is bullish about his chances.
Cant Buy Time Non Runner (william hill trophy)
Jonjo O'Neill did me a big favour with Albertas Run last year and
Cant Buy Time, from the same yard, can win us money this time around. Anybody who saw the ease with which he won at Sandown cannot possibly oppose this one in the William Hill Trophy.
Odds Correct As Of: tues 4 mar, 2009, 3.40pm

Noel Pinder has done it again with a
33/1 winning tip on Rosabee in the 2.30 Pontefract nursery handicap (tues 8 july).
Noel is pretty well known for his big priced selections, of which, some do win.
Noel wrote on his
racing blog about Rosabee - "
If the ground doesn't dry up Rosabee could go close in the 2.30. She ran a blinder on soft ground behind a subsequent Listed winner and could be well treated with a mark of 67."
Noel writes a few words here at Sandracer when the mood takes him - here is his section -
Noel Pinder @ Sandracer. You'll notice Noel's last post here was a winning one regarding the
2008 Cheltenham Festival.

With the festival just a few days away I thought I would give you my main hopes. You can usually find me at
The Horse Whispers Weblog, my name is Noel Pinder.
♥ Albertas Run (Royal and Sun Alliance Chase) (Won 4/1 Fav)
Albertas Run has already done us a massive favour and Jonjo's charge looks set for a big run in the Royal and Sun Alliance Chase. He has always been held in high regard and having won in great style last time out he could still be on the upgrade.
Noland (The Arkle) (3rd 7/4 Fav)
Paul Nicholls has brought
Noland along nicely in a bid to have him spot on for the Arkle. There is no doubt we haven't seen the best of this one yet.
♥ Celestial Halo (Triumph Hurdle) (Won 5/1)
There could be more success for Paul in the Triumph Hurdle with
Celestial Halo. Beaten just over three lengths in the St Leger, he then won impressively on his hurdles debut. His latest defeat against an older horse may turn out to be very good form and back against his own generation he should make them all go.
Sentry Duty (Ballymore OR The Supreme Novices) (Unplaced 11/1)
The horse in question was
Sentry Duty, who is entered in the Ballymore and the Supreme Novices, he has a strong chance in whichever event he goes for.

Noel's Racing Whispers - Full Write Up (oct 9, 07)Labels: Noel_Pinder
Posted at 11:48, Tuesday, October 09, 2007 by the Sandracer.
We are hoping for better luck on Thursday. I have two selections, first of all the very well regarded
Visit in the 2.05 at York. Michael Stoute is taking the same route with this filly as he has with some top performers from the past. She was very impressive when winning at Ascot and has bags of scope.
My second choice is
Sir Xaar in the 2.35. Bryan Smart gave a good word for this on Sportslive and he is well treated on his best form.
Danny likes
Magnus in the 3.10 race. This Aussie raider has strong claims on his Kings Stand form. His final choice is
Race Forever in the 3.50. This one has been placed in some top handicaps and may be good enough to land a listed race.

Following a thirteen hour dog shift (
sportsliveradio) I am a bit Kerry Packered, but one horse did catch my eye in the 4.00 at Market Rasen,
Killard Point. He comes here on the back of a decent run behind Spirit Of New York at Bangor. The form has been franked and he should go close today off a much lower chase mark.

As usual it is tough going on a Saturday and nothing really stands out. However we do have a couple that look to have good chances.
Dubai Twilight in the 3.15 at Newbury looks on a fair mark having chased home Dante runner up Raincoat last time out. We also like the look of
Nice To Know in the 4.55. Ed Dunlop's charge showed plenty of promise on her Yarmouth debut and this doesn't look the strongest of Newbury maidens.

In just two weeks time the Epsom Downs will be packed to the rafters with wide-eyed punters, eagerly awaiting this year's Blue Riband, "The Derby". The final major trial took place at York earlier this week, and so, as Sir David Frost would say, "All the clues are there",
With the defection of Teofilo,
Authorized became what you might call a surrogate favourite. However, following a scintillating performance in the Dante, he is now a worthy market leader. What is most frightening for his rivals is that, according to reports, he wasn't 100% fit! We may have a new superstar in our midst.
Now what of his rivals? Marcus Tregoning knows what it takes to land the "big one", having saddled last year's winner Sir Percy. His entry
Aqaleem displayed much improved form to land the Lingfield Derby trial with a terrific turn of foot and he is still open to further progression. Aidan O'Brien probably had more original entries than anyone and still holds a strong contigent. The pick of his runners looks to be impressive Derrinstown Stud winner
Archipenko, but his outsiders have been popping up in some of the big races and so it is hard to select anything of his with confidence.
One trainer seeking his first success in the big race is David Elsworth, who holds
Salford Mill in very high regard. This son of Peintre Celebre was aclear cut winner of a Listed race at Newmarket last time and is David's best chance of landing the prize for many a year.
There are one or two others to consider, including
Strategic Prince, who was staying on at one pace in the Guineas, but after absorbing all the information available we have to give you the clearance to back
Authorized.

2007 Derby Preview is also available on the blog.

I have been asked to write a few words about myself before my first selections:
I'm a racing journalist/broadcaster currently working for Teamtalk (part of Sky). I've worked in the business for 32 years starting off as a settler in a betting office. I have been hooked on horse racing and gambling ever since! As a hobby I currently write my own
blog (with the help of my technically gifted son, Toby and my knowledgeable horseracing step-son Danny) and contribute to other blogs, including this one.

Noel Pinder Naps 16/1 Wolverhampton AW Winner Adage
Noel Pinder napped up 16/1 winner Adage today in the
3.50 At Wolverhampton on the all-weather.
Noel Pinder runs the Horse Whisper Blog in his spare time, and works as a racing pundit on the
Sportsliveradio Racing Commentary Station.
Adage 16/1Adage, ridden by David Sweeney and funnily enough trained by namesake David Pinder, held off the late charge of the Dean McKeown ridden short priced 11/10 fav Light Sentence by 3/4's of a length, 5 lengths ahead of the 3rd placed horse Swords.
Happy PuntersMany punters emailed the sportsliveradio studio to say they backed the horse at prices up to 25/1 on the P2P betting exchanges like Betfair and Betdaq. 1 punter claimed he won enough money from the Adage win to pay for his trip to Miami next week. Another happy punter said the AW Pinder nap will pay for his ticket to the Man Utd V Chelsea
FA Cup final this weekend.
