Mick thought the horse wasn't very fit when he arrived and had a few minor niggles that needed a bit of time. Horse had more about him phyiscally than most horses of that rating and if you look at videos of his early runs he definitely showed up well enough in maidens to suggest he should have been better than a 45 horse. So the raw ability was already there. Sometimes it can be coaxed back, sometimes it can't. Why he fared so poorly in 2018 I wouldn't know.

some suggest it was deliberate to get its mark down,if that was the case then the previous trainer would have had a touch with it,so maybe it wasnt deliberate,ok gl with it in future.
|

By:
It would be an odd move indeed to deliberately run a horse down the weights and then sell it fairly cheaply. So I would assume that wasn't the case.

If you get it up into the 80s Dom's father in law might be interested.

No chance of any Entry at Meydan
 You have to be a MINIMUM of 90 - mostly 95 - to get a Handicap ENTRY there. |

Playing up your winnings willie? BB doesn't think it would have any trouble winning from 58.
I'll be looking for a big priced horse EW again, this was nearly 7/4 earlier for small money. |
|
By:
He's well capable of winning from 58. Would have prefered a higher draw but would be disappointed if he got beat.
|
|
By:
Have to say i thought the draw may be a negative but they do seem to win from all over, if he's good enough shouldn't stop him, good luck BB.
|
|
By:
Well, if he gets beat narrowly by something under the stand rail I will reserve the right to blame the draw, don't worry about that! Cheers.

Best of luck BB

Found my EW against it, Black Hambleton, his 4th lto has worked out exceptionally well.

horse does still look fairly treated, but up in class as well as the 13lb, assuming they dont change the tactics and make the running i'd be surprised if it didnt trade bigger IR than the current odds of 0.75/1
|
|
By:
We won't go out of our way to make the running given it isn't the easiest course to do it. I'd be happy if there were a couple of established front runners to track though. If I was happy with the draw and pace set up I'd say he's a good thing. Just a bit wary of the possiblity of a messy race/being drawn in the wrong place so won't be piling on him.

Only negative, price is short.

Just hope Jamie Lynch doesn't rate it.
He's already just killed the chances of 2 of mick's others  |
|
By:
6/4 instead of 4/6, would be nice.

You need to get up earlier Tanglefoot!

just out of interest BB which way to you expect the market to go

Sleepyhead this side

I wouldn't have thought he would go off much bigger than he is now but there would be plenty of people who follow class 6 AW races closer than I do.
|
|
By:
oh dear I've laid it! with a view to trading either before or during the race, i've priced it higher but insiders can soon scupper things
|
|
By:
Roaring Rory runs like it should have a shout at getting 7f these days a number of it's runs around it's last win were decent in the context of a poor looking class 6.
Not backing it tonight but could go well at a price  |
|
By:
Same as rider think it will trade bigger layed at 1.68

Tee hee - quite easy :)

Nice,BB

Hacked up. Didn't really expect him to make all but nothing good enough to give him a lead. Good job we have him entered up 3 times in the next week as the handicapper will take a swipe now.
