RH – Tamagin was one of the pace influences and he has gone over from stall 9. Those are the kind of moronic tactics that pretty much ensure defeat for a horse in a competitive sprint.
"Checking his form, Tamagin has run most of his best races when running against a rt-hand rail, and in many of those where he didn’t, he hung rt anyway".
Despite the naysayers and the bandwagonjumpers, I can’t see too much wrong with either of the above statements.
Look Here doesn’t
have
to be held up; in both her victories she has taken it up 2 out and galloped the opposition into the ground, and
never
shown any sign of quitting or idling when she’s got to the front. That the general public can see that, and whoever decided today’s riding tactics can’t, I find entirely unbelievable, and I’d say there’s fairly strong evidence that she was ridden with another day in mind – possibly the King George – and I hope they get their just reward in that, and lose, which might be some consolation to those who supported her with hard cash today (of which I wasn’t one – just for the record).
Tamagin, for all
"his good form at Lingfield"
, has only won one race there in the last 3 years where – guess what – he hung right, just as he has in every single one of his 5 other victories in that period.
There are form readers, guessers, and those who are wise after the event, I’ll leave others to sort out which are what.
