Plenty of support for Azure Mist in that race Halfwaytoheaven – shouldn´t have drifted that much mind
Maybe we should include in this thread horses that are smashed off the boards, having been totally friendless last time out…
There was a nice qualifier tonight in Trimlestown…

Aye, that was first time blinkers tonight though wasnt it?

Absolutely
Indeed, especially when the horse wasn’t wearing blinkers.
The interesting point about the horse is that it was a significant drifter last time at Lingfield (where there was no particular reason not to fancy the horse), where it missed the break and was given a pretty dreadful ride.
Fair enough TDK – didn’t see the race only the pre-race move.
The money talked in the Metternich race too.

That’s after-timing on a before the race thread. Even your our orginal post was at 13:18.
Who’s to say the RP forecast compiler got it right for the Ludlow race. It’s only his opinion and there are plenty of other opinions flying about.The compiler of the forecast admits in the Spotlight that his last race was a weakish race. You can’t take the RP forecast as gospel otherwise the compiler is placed nuder quite unjustified pressure to get it right.

Assuming the ‘King horse’ was Paquet Cadeau then it ended up at 7/2, so it in fact shortened in price, at least ni the latter stages of the market, rather than drifting.
I’m not particularly aiming at yourself regarding the betting forecast, rather than what seems to be a common theme in many such threads that if the SP or opening price is out of line with the forecast then there must be something amiss. I certainly wouldn’t want to be Steven Boow or one of his colleagues if all forecasts were treated that way.
as a side point regarding forecast and their compilation, it does sit rather uncomfortably that the compiler of the industry guide forecast, as many treat it, also writes the Spotlight comments which can themselves have a siginificant impact.
You mentioned Royal Keva (assumed ‘the original 2nd fav’) in the Southwell who seemed to run more or less the same race as it’s last effort. It was priced at 5/2 in the RP, but then the first two words in the Spotlight were ‘Bit disappointing’.

Royal Keva was just obscene – name your price and stake from a few minutes before the off all the way through the race.
The Post Forecasts are often way out with the various industry EP’s. Would hate to be using them as a guide as to how they price up X or Y, now if we were able to bet at RP Forecasts that would be a totally different matter

Nothing particularly odd about the performance though. Out of the stalls in a prominent position, settled just off the pace, encouraged to get competitive entering the straight but just didn’t have the pace of the front two. Given every chance and not good enough, as per previous run.
Rob
hmmmm, should walk it but i can’t see how this is going to be run to suit him i doubt they will go fast enough
