2 great days ( +1 mediocre day) at the Rowley Mile.....

...just based on weather, not punting. The ground from mid-meeting Saturday was bad and it is a disgrace the track was watered on Thursday. A marginal difference perhaps but the principle of avoiding the risk of the fast side of good to firm is wholly wrong, especially after the wettest March in 40 years and the forecast. Anyway, results must be treated cautiously from mid afternoon Saturday. A few thoughts. Infinite Cosmos is quite good but an absurd price for the Oaks. The Pretty Polly was a superb trial and I think the front 3 are quite good. Couldn't have the winner at the present price for the Oaks but she is potent over that trip, The 2nd and 3rd may well be Park Hill horses and are bred to stay for ever. Their 3rd race will tell us a lot but I would not  give up on them. If either run at Epsom, it would not surprise me if they reversed form. I had a small punt on Trust the Stars @ 33/1 before and I may go in again depending on what Beckett says. Related to stayers. June may be too soon.....then again she may be as slow as wood! The Weld horse will never be beaten by any of those again, but that is hardly news is it. You can't see why she wouldn't go on good ground and if the (over) cautious DM gives the go ahead, she will win the Coronation  by a minute. I had a big bet on Adayar, in my view the best evens shot I have seen for many years. Backed it at 8/1 and 7/1 for PoW and even now, at 5/1 , it is great value. Despite his form over the last 3 or 4 runs this horse battered an in form Mishriff, Love and Broome on Good to Firm in the KG and will be much, much better on Ascot ground (absent Prosseresque watering!). Godolphin are so good at 10/12f handicaps and King of Conquest will improve for another 1f at least. He may be short-ish at RA for the 10f handicap but I'll be punting it. Saga was dreadfully unlucky (thank God!) and they may be tempted by the same race but I hope they go for the Hunt Cup and ride it a bit more prominently. Anyway, hope you all had a good few days. You'd have been dryer than I was on Saturday but today was glorious. Good luck.
