I was surprised to see him 5-1 second favourite in the Times in the morning, but 20-1 by the off. Anyone know any reason for that? He ran OK but is he better on turf perhaps?
He’ll have a little rest after today and hopefully come back and win a race backend of the season.

Celeritas again ran creditably at Wolves but to my mind is exposed, not well treated and on a stiff mark for nurseries.What sort of race do you plan to go for next?
Ideally win a weak maiden, then move back into nurseries. The only reason we have a high mark is due to his 2nd to Puskas at Newmarket which had some quality horses behind us. I agree he is exposed as we let him run to his best ability and he rarely throws in a bad one but Fridays race was a bit hot with 2 good ones 1st & 2nd (course record) but we should have not give up 3rd so easily, he just looks a little lazy as again he wasn’t blowing too hard. He’s been in training now since Feb and we are going to geld him which also will give him a 6 week break then bring him back when the grounds changed to have some cut in it.
Hope everything went ok with the gelding of Celeritas. Any news on when he will next run, as he seems to have had a healthy break now.
Just curious, I have been following him all season all feel he definitely has races in him at some stage.
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers.
He’s been cantoring for the last few weeks now and started full training yesterday. We are planning for 2 more races before he goes to the sales at the end of October, one should be in the last week of September or there abouts.
The operation went well with no infections, you’ll be seeing him soon hopefully.
See he is in at Windsor tomorrow , newly gelded with first time blinkers and Spencer up.<br>Pedicted SP 12/1 sixth best.<br>Good luck!
Squeezed at the start at Windsor today and effectively no chance thereafter.<br>Plan as posted is one more race before off to the sales.<br>What do you have in mind?
Unfortunately the 2 either side in the stalls ruined any chance we may of had within 5 strides!!! Jamie has just cantored him home and saved him for another day soon over 6f probably.
How frustrating! That’s the trouble with a big field like that; so much luck involved too.
Good luck with him everyone!
