General Tufto tries the hat trick of wins as a 10yo.
He surprised me last time.
Only one horse has won so far this year with same scenario -
Sabre Rock.
Thomas Blossom and Tsarglas are recent odds on failures.
A couple of class 2 races at Southwell today
2.30: Zac Brown and Scarborough both have to overcome their penalties. There are not enough such races at Southwell to make a comparison for penalties in this grade.
If one takes the FLAT data (2012-13) in 5f sprints there appears a total absence of winners from 10 races (4 ran 2nd and 4 of those in photo finish) and 9 failed last year (7 races).
I prefer Woolfall Sovereign on its form in this race type.
4 wins and two off the back of a win lto.
Not had one of those since New Years Day
The next day Top Scores produced..
won,3,won,won,won,2,9,2,won,3
So hoping for a good one tomorrow.
