Well what an interesting and rewarding commentary by our Paddock Watcher Dee at Newcastle last night. The first thing to be aware of is that it was extremely cold which presented problems viewing the horses as they were all wearing heavy covers to keep warm.

Several of my subscribers requested and received the information provided by Dee before each race and which I have included below as it came in. At the bottom I have added my own summary of all the races. It is significant to note that Bookmakers themselves subscribe to her services.

Tonight i will forward to you what i send to my current clients and bookies which is, i say what i see. if i like one more than the rest i say so. i list positives in order of preference - i do have a couple of clients that only want a text when there is a standout - but this format is good for people who study form

i need to say because it’s so cold horses have big covers on till they leave the paddock hence the late message - i do look at the pre parade ring but they dont always appear then - so warmer days you get messages much earlier
