Shadow Of Light 8-1 ew for now. Not see out the 2000G and come here? Wouldn’t be the first horse to go down that route.
March 26, 2025 at 16:47 #1724877I think the way Shadow of Light battled to win a soft ground Dewhurst from an unfavourable draw suggests he’ll get the mile, and go very close to winning the Guineas.
Not sure which potential non stayer to propose instead at this early stage, however, although Rashabar might fit the bill.April 14, 2025 at 17:58 #1727260I dont play AP but after watching Arizona Blaze today the 20s looks awfully big, or am I wrong?
April 14, 2025 at 18:50 #1727266Not a bad shout, nw, but on a line of form with Comanche Brave I’m inclined to wait and see if the latter fails to stay the mile in the Irish 2000…
April 29, 2025 at 18:08 #1728684And now he’s had an entry I’ve got have punt on Comanche Brave at 25-1!
May 1, 2025 at 10:21 #1728843Buick deserts Shadow Of Light in the 2000 Guineas. Doubting his stamina?
May 1, 2025 at 11:04 #1728845yeah Oscar can see where you are coming from.
Mike he did say it was a hard choice and maybe the run under the belt swayed (I dont know) him?
It is strange to desert a Dewhurst winner
May 3, 2025 at 10:37 #1729120Appleby on Buick’s decision…
“He won impressively at Meydan and is guaranteed to get the mile here, which came into William’s thinking as he chose which one to ride. Shadow Of Light has done very well from two to three and has definitely come forward since his racecourse gallop. He continues to show the natural pace he displayed as a juvenile, which means there’s always going to be a question mark about getting a mile.”
May 3, 2025 at 21:01 #1729355Even before the Guineas I thought he had the stature of a sprinter.
The more I know the less I understand.
May 3, 2025 at 21:22 #1729359He gets a mile, just.
If they are now looking to step up Ruling Court in trip then they can still win a group 1 mile with him, especially with Buick on board.
He’s fast but not necessarily a sprinter.May 20, 2025 at 10:13 #1730930IDES OF MARCH 20/1
If get quick ground I think he run well also I think was on the wrong side at the weekend.
And go one better
May 24, 2025 at 19:51 #1731205With Field Of Gold winning impressively today, I feel a bit more confident that ‘the Shadow’ comes here.
