    This horse caught my eye immediately scanning through tomorrows Lingfield card.

    Was with O’Brien earlier this season and won its debut very well, then came last when favourite for a listed race in Ireland.

    You don’t normally see high profile horses from Ballydoyle switch to smaller stables in the UK Changed hands for 34,000gns and is a fascinating contender.

    Remember seeing quotes for RP trophy at one point…

    King George River

    was the only 2yo from the flat this year that had me scratching my head :shock:

    I awarded him one of the highest speed figures of

    78

    to any 2yo making his debut, making him a pattern class horse in my book.

    He has to have had a problem for Ballydoyle to get rid of him and his price this morning of

    6/1

    tells us that.

    I have the favourite

    Yarroom

    at the top of my AW speed figures with a rating of

    74

    and I expect the winner of this race to top my 2yo AW speed figure list :D

    In conclusion, if

    King George River

    has only maintained

    80%

    of the the ability he showed on his debut run, it would make him a

    steering job

    in this company 8)

    I think you’re right, he must of had some problems for Ballydoyle to get rid of him, looks quite regressive. Stayed on well to finish 3rd today but handicap company looks the next step.

    King George River

    speed figure of

    65

    today, proves that he still retains at least

    83%

    of his ability, with more to come 8) .

    Yarroom

    my top rated horse, nearly equalled his best speed figure of

    74

    but found giving away

    5lbs

    too much.

    The going allowance today was

    +0.27s/f

    per furlong (standard to fast) 8)
