No major shock at all. Dalaram’s third at Taunton in April gave him a major chance today if reproduced. I had him joint second on my ratings although sadly I didnt back him.
Interesting that the money was down in that April race, 14-1 into 9/2CF and just beaten 1.5 l into third, Surprising after being beaten 65 lengths in the race before that in March, where did the confidence come from?
Someone mentioned it runs well after a break, Well not always, given nearly 3 months off after Taunton it raced in a similar class, going, distance and up just 1 lb. It opened 14-1, no money on and beaten 82 lengths.
