wouldn't have minded this one winning, if the other supposed top runners had even managed to bother getting into the race - and what happened to the jollie that won a 50k bumper - god knows.

I had decided that Gidge was the main trier yesterday (Fergal usually likes Kelso ), and of course the dreaded ' 4th in a photo ' , vets reported ataxia , hope she is ok .

There is an element of 'guessing' to all bets. If you are more charitable you would say they are a result of varying degrees of analysis.
There were question marks over the actual quality of yesterday's field. The form of the favourite was untested; she had gone off 16/1 ridden by someone riding her first winner; she hadn't run for quite a while; she was unproven on the ground and the Mullins yard has yet to hit top gear. Plenty of reasons to oppose. The second favourite had just won a Carlisle bumper. It's the nature of bumpers that form is limited and untested. That's their appeal. As I said the very much in-form stable had made no secret that they rated the winner. Even if you didn't take that at face value it was eyecatching to see a newcomer starting off in a listed race. The price very quickly collapsed (Coral/Ladbrokes were slowest to react) and the support was sustained into the following day only drifting from 8/1-12/1 late on. In terms of a national hunt yard I think the Moore stable is on the improve aided by a decent stable jock. Those who took the 33/1 will be pretty silly to give it back in a hurry. |
