“It can be taken advantage of if you got a very talented mare.”
The allowance is the reason why I thought she would win today. There was a doubt about her over the distance, although I think that was down to the seeming lack of confidence from her connections rather than evidence.
I just could not see The New Lion giving her 7lbs and a beating. He didn’t set the world alight on either run this season and the form of his win last year doesn’t look great. The horse he beat is running in a handicap tomorrow.
