    A Sixties Icon two year old from Channon won at Musselburgh on Sunday.

    It looked a pretty poor seller to be honest but Jim Goldie thought enough of the winner to pay 5,500 gns for her at the post race auction.

    I just compiled the speed ratings for this race and

    Vanessa

    received a rating of

    31

    which was very poor, and if you compared the race against the one run the day before,

    Storm Moon’s

    rating was

    68

    No puzzle, same trainer, probably giving her 3 runs to get her handicapped, the mild winter could mean she is more forward so running her early in bad races results in a more lenient mark. Channon also running another 2yo by same sire at Musselburgh.

    Mick would never do such a thing :lol: She actually looked like the type ho will win a race or two. 10 bob a week in the cookie jar until she runs in a 7 Furlong handicap at Yarmouth 8)

    Well, Mick has blown it this time. Getting Chilworth Icon to win The Listed Woodcote Stakes at Epsom on Derby Day has really messed up the opportunity to win a 7f/8f Nursery with him at Yarmouth or Windsor in September. What was the man thinking about? You would have thought that he has been training long enough to get the horse a proper handicap mark ready for the big hit in September. I’m gutted!
