HORSE RACING FIXTURES AND RESULTS

Hot to Trot: Following Osborne a licence to print money

Timeform pick out three trainers that are in hot form at present.

Flat trainer: Jamie Osborne

Currently leading the way in our trainer form table for Flat trainers is Jamie Osborne, who has saddled six winners and 11 more horses to finish in the frame from his last 27 runners. Backing all Osborne’s runners since the first day of September would have yielded a £140 profit to a £10 level stake, and the UAE Derby-winning trainer showed once he’s again that he’s a man up for a challenge when sending horses to race on the beach at Laytown in Ireland recently, coming back with a winner, two seconds and a third from six runners. Osborne has won with three of this last seven runners at the time of writing, including two-year-old Swallow Street who improved for the fitting of blinkers when winning a Redcar nursery on Wednesday at 16/1. Osborne did something similar back in April when his subsequent Britannia Handicap winner Defrocked wore a first-time hood when winning a maiden at Windsor at 10/1. La Manga could be a particularly interesting runner for the trainer if taking up her entry at Bath on Monday, given she improved when runner-up on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January and has been off since disappointing at Kempton in January just three days later.
