Yesterday, Robert Tart proved to me why he was a jockey in my notebook.
He rode my each-way selection, Sannibel, in the 3:00 at Lingfield. The horse started a bit slower than expected from the outside draw. Undeterred, he didn't rush the horse but instead kept pace while letting the rest of the field sort itself. Just before the pace as upped, he found his line and went from the outside middle to the rail in a smoothed, angled run. But the rail got closed and he then adjusted after a handful of strides and sent the horse through a space the width of a shed door.
The horse came second, a length ahead of the fave but behind Chevise who won its first race since April, 2011.
The jockey won on Carazam at 8/1 90 minutes later.
Another strong jockey that will give you a run for your money.
UPDATE All selections are up. Good luck with your evening

My feeling is that I am going through a 'transition' on the going/conditions. I've gone through this before over the years but recognizing it sooner.
I'll review all the days racing and see where the winners are coming from and hopefully the efforts will reflect in the coming days.
