The only performance worth mentioning at Lingfield was
Azma
a 2yo filly trained by
Conrad Allen
, who went into the top 5 of my 2yo AW speed ratings, if you had added the WFA allowance she would have been the highest rated horse on the day
December 8, 2012 at 17:15 #422081Working out the going allowance for today’s meeting Lingfield took a bit of careful thought as you had a combination of the lowest quality field ever assembled on a Saturday card at Lingfield, run on a fast track.
The going allowance today was
+0.35
(standard to fast).

Due to the extremely fast going, the form book is getting turned on it’s head and as a result of this, at the top of today’s speed figures was
Thecornishcowboy
who won a (Class 6) handicap and managed to better my (class 6) par of
58
by
20lbs

When I calculated the going allowance at
0.00s/f
,
Thecornishcowboy
speed figure came out at
103
, which would be a listed class par time in a (class 6) handicap

I await with interest to see what Dave Edwards "Top Speed" makes the going allowance

Update:
Dave Edwards made the going allowance
+0.32s/f
and gave the
Thecornishcowboy
his top rated speed figure of
79
.
Top Speed is normally approx8lb
per furlong less than my calculations due to the fact we use different lbs. per length figures and he also uses WFA.

Just out of interest, Top Speed’s (class 6) par is62
, so
Thecornishcowboy
bettered his par for the class by
17lbs

I take my hat off to the plot Dave Evans pulled off with
Bussa
replacing a 7lb claimer with Adam Kirby, his horse improving his handicap mark by

Sandy Lane
to get touched off by a

Strike while the iron is hot, the handicapper will get his revenge

I see that

up

, It doesn’t pay to take the piss out of the handicapper

Soapbox time:
I have to mention
Gabrial’s Hope +7
who made it into the top ten speed figures list and has improved his speed figure total from his last two races by
67lbs
, without winning a race

In his first 3 races, he was beaten a accumulative total of
239 lengths
and was given an OR rating of
18

On his handicapped debut, I had him down as improving by
+25
and the handicapper put him up
42lbs
to a new OR rating of
60

Over the same distance in the 4.50, I thought
De Rigueur
was a good thing and he won like one, earning a speed figure from me of
62
compared to
Gabrial’s Hope
speed figure of
67

In conclusion
Gabrial’s Hope
has to be my biggest improver on the flat this year, up
67lbs
, or the most bent, the jury is out on this one, I am leaning towards the latter

In retrospect I shouldn’t have used the word
"bent"
, in future I will refer to it as doing a
"Barney"

The other improver’s on the card to note were
Honoured +10
(6.50 Wolverhampton).
On The Hoof +9
,
Al’s Memory +8
and
Roy The Boy +5
(8.20 Wolverhampton).

The
polytrack
continues to speed up, the recent extensive work carried out on the track i.e. 40,000 gallons of binder put down, was just a waste of time and money, when the cold weather returns, I expect to see the balling and kickback problem return

Back in September at Chepstow, one of the biggest improver’s I have ever had was
Menadati +18
who since his win has been treated for a kidney infection.
Made 4/1 joint favourite to win the 6.55 Kempton a (Class 6) apprentice race, you have got to watch the video to see what happened to him, the young jockey is going to have nightmares about this ride for the rest of his life.

December 21, 2012 at 14:26 #423715I watched Menadati with interest on Wednesday night as he was joint top rated on my form ratings with the winner. He is a perpetual slow starter and with it being a hands and heels race I was curious to see how the horse would react.
The formline ‘missed break’ doesn’t do him any justice. He was still in the pub when the coach left.
The horse has run really well and he is a winner waiting to happen. Whether Paul Booth is given the job is debatable. - AuthorPosts
