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.
I 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.I dont play AP but after watching Arizona Blaze today the 20s looks awfully big, or am I wrong?
Not 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…
yeah 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
Appleby 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.”
Even before the Guineas I thought he had the stature of a sprinter.
The more I know the less I understand.
He 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.IDES 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
With Field Of Gold winning impressively today, I feel a bit more confident that ‘the Shadow’ comes here.
Great price Mike. I’ll have a piece of him at 9/4 despite the recent Appleby Ascot form. Not particularly impressed with Ger Lyons UK form but had to nibble at Babouche 4/1 and took a punt on Shisospicy for the yanks at 25/1. On a winning spree, last time grade 3, travelled very nicely.
Thought Big Mojo was better than last run, so had an interest in this.
Big Mojo EW5/21’s
Shadow Of Light 2/1 (Skybet earlier) – Win
Arabian Dusk 28/1 – EW
Looking forward to this one Jac.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Im with you VTC, big mojo e/w is a great bet
Just a small bet, these races often murder my attempt at logic
