Carl Harris’ Daily Racing Tips / Carl Harris / 01 November 2009 / Leave a comment

Carl Harris has had a pretty poor month and is the first to admit it so is keen to see the back of October and start from scratch in November. Just the one bet for today.

It's November now so we are really in the jumps season with only the Breeders Cup left as far as major attention is concerned on the flat. That takes place next weekend at Santa Anita, California. I can't tell you how pleased I will be to put October behind me, my worst month for a few years - in fact a total disaster!

Wetherby was enjoyable yesterday, but I was a bit disappointed with the crowd who booed Barry Gerraghty for his error, which I suppose after the race is fair enough. But to carry on doing it all afternoon, is moronic. He didn't do it on purpose and will miss twelve days of racing including the big open meeting at Cheltenham. He has paid for his error and came out like a gentleman and said sorry.

So, on to Sunday and there are two jump meetings and an all-weather jumps card at Lingfield, very much the shape of things to come. Not much of a betting day for me, plenty to do with the family, but I will have my eye firmly on the action at Carlisle.

The Hennessy is the target for Killyglen (14:05) who should therefore be up to winning here at Carlisle. AP McCoy is an eye-catching booking in the absence of Howard Johnson's stable jockey and in fairness, connections can expect a commanding performance by a horse who should be far better than this field. McCoy, fresh from a good day at Ascot on Saturday, will be looking to make the trip north worth it. It is also of note that McCoy is not riding the McManus runner in order to ride Killyglen. A big chance.
That's it for me, one bet, hopefully one winner, good luck.
