lady deauville 119will back paco boy to win and lovelace ew
if paco boy runs will anihalite this field, virtual will want cut in the ground and lovelace was disappointing last time out, stotsfold will want further
dont see a problem with the mile, he’s entered in the juddamonte and queen anne this summer over the distance
6-4 odds for a group 1 winner (beating the classy natagora) is a very good price and i’m expecting big things from him this year6/4 is a bit short for me in a race over a mile for a horse who has yet to win over further than 7f
I’ll take my chances with Virtual at the current 10/3
I agree with ARWalsh and i’m amazed he’s 6/4. I was expecting him to be odds on. There are no real trail blazers in the field and despite the fact he’s conceding weight and has never won over a mile he is the class horse in the race. His last run over a mile is the best form on offer by some way in my opinion. Goldikova, following the retirement of Zarkava, Henry and Raven’s, has to be the best miler in Europe.
Can anyone confirm he definitely runs because the RP states he’ll only run if the ground is suitable? If I back it now I assume i’d get my stake back?
Edited to say: He’s drifting on BF, could end up 7/4 – 2/1 at this rate.
I’m a bit iffy about Paco Boy today. This is one of my favourite horses but the fact that he is giving six pounds today and the race is over a mile makes him far from a good thing in my opinion. Had this been a seven furlong contest I’d have been inclined to back him but the extra furlong on a track like Sandown with an uphill finish I find concerning.
The plus is that there isn’t a huge amount of obvious pace in the race Kandidate will probably take them along but the pace shouldn’t be crazy so the emphasis shouldn’t be hugely on stamina.
It looks a tricky little race.
Get in there Hughesy!!! First proper bet of the flat.. The drift was worrying but better for the bank balance.
Same here Aragorn 15/8 proved just too tempting about a Group 1 horse in that sort of race.
Still not entirely convinced that Paco Boy is best over 8 furlongs but they didn’t go a mad pace and Richard Hughes gave him a superb ride and Paco Boy won comfortably in the end.
If he’s going to win a G1 over 8 furlongs I think the Sussex Stakes is most likely as Goodwood is a sharp track which ought to suit Paco Boy.
I would agree Ian. He’s still got it to prove at G1 level over a mile but today’s race was a decent group 3 and he had to win if he is going to compete at that level.
One of, if not my favourite horse on the flat and i’ll be punting him all year. He is often over priced for some reason as well.
Well done guys, was a nice price about Paco Boy. Looks a decent horse, i like the name too.
The owner of the syndicate knows he stays a mile…Don’t be put off when he runs at any level over this distance. He likes juice in the ground too, so today was decent….Exciting….
