SHAPESHIFTER

Brighton is one of those tracks that takes the affects of landscape and weather to the extreme.

Imagine the originators of the track sitting in a pub and discussing what could be built on the plot of land.

After several ideas and as many pints, one said "a race course!"  So enthusiastic were they about the idea that when the bell rang for last orders, they headed out in the dark with a handful of posts and walked around without a torch banging stakes into the ground.

And, voila, a race course was born.

Any time I play Brighton, I feel that I, too, need a torch to see my way through the card.


Weak faves based on the quality of their previous fields:

Brighton
2:15 Pharoh Jake
3:45 Mark Anthony
4:15 Do More Business

Hamilton
3:30 King Of Paradise
5:00 Lord Franklin

RESULT: 3 for 3 at Brighton but when you look at the results, only 2 of 8 fave's won at the track today and both those were odds on. 

Brighton is an anomaly that can pay dividends if you can find the winner.

Hamilton, Lord Franklin won at 3.5 BFSP.  All day, it had been steady at that price. I didn't see the race so not able to give any feedback on the result.
