Things that I find interesting

Doubt Darryl knows more than you Billy boy, some trainers don't know as much as you think imo.

Probably wants him down the handicap a few pounds. Easier to get him beat if running over the wrong distance.

Thanks sr, he will probably win doing handstands. Either that or he fly in over 7f at 12/1 in a few months 4lbs less or so. See the trainer owned him until last week and the current owners Harraton Court Stables Ltd had him before that. LOVE IT..

Clacton, you are probably spot on but horses make fools of us.

Can anybody recommend a good book on breeding, does the stamina as a rule come from the Dam and speed from the Sire.

Trainers make bigger fools of us. A large percentage of runners every day are only there to get a drop down the handicap.
Trainers only think of the future.

This horse is by ffraaj who's average winning distance of his progeny is 8.3f  The dam is by Sadlers Wells.

Does Darryll know what he's doing?

You bet he does

Look at another horse he trains Fantasy Master.  When he got him from Mick Appleby he was rated 77. He got him down to 72 and won at 20/1.
He knows what he's doing.

Always liked him as a jockey.

Another interesting thing in the 6-00 Kempton, STARLIGHT NATION was only a neck behind Naaser here six weeks ago and now gets a 7lb pull with that rival, NAASER is 10/11f while the former is 7/1.

You know what I said the other day, If a horse beats another, it normally beats it again even when it is worse off at the weights. Came true the other day to my reward but I know it doesn't always happen.

Dutch Kingdom has the form profile to win,in at third fav,a bit of betting support,draw not to his advantage,most probably a watch race.

A bet and watch race.

If it was favourite would have been a bet,Pro

If Holland thinks it can win off 77 he'll be trying. If he thinks it cant he wont be trying.
Simple as that.

I wouldn't worry about the distance.
The trainer doesn't seem to be, judging by the first time tongue tie and blinkers.

Drifting now out to 10.0

WOW

****G BAMOS!

VWD !!

Well the form was there,but betting confidence a  bit sketchy

costly lay.

Market a steer only. Eye never knew you were ruled by it, tangy

They obviously thought 77 was ok, so they tried. He knows what he's doing.

This is what this site should be, nice to see people talking about horse racing..

Oh well another watch Pro,but I have seen the form horse  lose when market was not strong

Totally agree Billy !!

Put me away good and proper--

Was going to go full bank.

It was Jason Watson's only ride today.

Nice one Billy

Lads, I didn't say it would win or lose and didn't back it. Just found his profile interesting..

A watch Billy

Your other interesting horse Starlight Nation was just behind Naaser but Naaser has been out and won since.

well done Billy ''interesting'' Liddell

looking at the 6pm race Murphy up for Balding for which he is 5-10 since coming back with a couple of placers
drawn in the car park though

gl chaps

Was only having a bit of fun Billy.

I know b, it's why racing is so hard but interesting N-e C

I see it won.
Getting the mile was never in doubt regardless of the first time headgear.

Eh Billy anything you find interesting in the 8:30 ? 

Sorry 11kv, I had put my old trusty hp away and was watching tele.

Clive Cox's 3yr old filly Olympic Quest looks a good bet at 10/1 dropping down to 7f for the first time on her sixth run, she has ran really well on her two handicap runs and just been found out over a mile with last time leading until ridden over 1f out and then being headed inside the final 110yds.

Her Dam Olympic Runner ran eight times winning twice over 5f with her Dam's Sire The top class Exceed and Excel winning seven from 12 in Group races in Australia over 6f six times and 7f once. Even the highly regarded EAE couldn't find success over a mile and was beaten over 4L albeit in a Caulfield Group 1.

My fancy Olympic Quest's Sire Australia won five times from eight races from 7f to 1m4f including a Group 3 when a 2yr old and was outstanding at 3yrs with successes in The Derby and Irish Derby and was also the son of Ouija Board.

                                                      Any thoughts and good luck today

Looked at the race at Kempton travelled easy and quickend but seemed to wait for others to come up alongsides and then couldnt go again.The drop in trip may not give it time to think.Good luck will back it too place x4

Prominent from  a low draw, ridden from over 1f out, weakened gradually inside final 110yds.

Didn't look like she had the speed over 7f..

Exactly.

4th.
