Fantastic win for Rekindling sired by one of my favs in High Chaparral. Great to see the European 1-2-3

Glad you popped up Ginge

Going by Ginger form of lengths and distances (see QE11 Beat the Bank)

Rekindling won the Melbourne
in the Curragh Cup (Group 2) he was 2 lengths ahead of Elidor
Elidor beat Wall of Fire in a photo finish

So using Ginger form I have promoted Wall of Fire to 4th……

No, Nathan.
Punters weren’t backling Rekindling to reproduce the Curragh Cup form. Fact is this was his first start at 2 miles, a trip that appeared certain to suit… Rekindling duly improvimg to show a career best. So the line of form Rekindling to Elidor through to Wall Of Fire is a particularly unreliable/false one.

Cruel Ginge; let us dream our dreams. Thomas Hobson would definitely have won with the original jockey and WoF is, morally the 4th horse home….

He’s so cruel Moehat.
I’m thinking of renaming him the ‘Ginger Grinch’

The most unreliable/false form of the season was the Joel Stakes, using that to take into the QE11 was a school boy error.
