Well a gardening day yesterday meant missing out on two Dascombe winners. Cape Rosso was a pick at Chester when withdrawn (and later withdrawn at another meeting)and Art of War - which had a good chance of winning. The put off was trainer record when sending four runners to a northern meeting.
Todays another day and Michael Stoute is making up for a lack lustre two years during 2012-2013.
Joe Doyle rides [b]BRAGGING[/b] for the owner instead of riding a Roger Charlton runner at Leicester - Continental Drift.
I have no qualms about BRAGGING as Stoute record in May with maiden fillies is very good. Windsor is one of his speciality tracks for running two fillies in same race but that doesn't apply today.
Continental Drift hasn't had a run this year so is one to ignore today.
[b]RESULT...
After a couple of "lays" went astray yesterday I need to be more careful. Mainly not to lay the probable best horse in the race (The Fugue) or laying in a race that has several runners withdrawn (Our Obsession).
I'm not that keen on laying but there's not many stand out winners and after time spent researching a race, feel the need to get a result - maybe result is not the right word!.
Today looked at 13.55 York
Stoute gets quite a few LB (long break) winners at York.
[b]Gospel Choir[/b] is the runner today but further research shows that this later in season the less the winners and more importantly most of his hcp winners have been over 10f as opposed to todays 12f race.
Sticking with Stoute, Ryan Moore has always given a favourable mention about [b]Pavlosk[/b]. The give in...
