Hamilton 2.45 today, Crimea wins a 5f sprint by seven lengths.
Now, I may be marking myself out as a total n00b to the flat, for which I can only apologise, but when Workforce won over 1m4f by the same distance, everyone was oohing and aahing (and, yes, I know it was the Derby, but still), so can we give this winning margin the credit it deserves.
Indeed, should be give this winning margin credit?
Would be interested to see what everyone else thinks

So don't run, just like the others always do
Not really fella, it was a weak race with only a few runners, in which
he started at ‘seven on’.Workforce was running against high class horses, that’s the long and short of it.

You’re talking about the wrong race Matthew, the 1/7 shot was in the first race and won by 5 lengths
But you’re right in what you say, the race that the horse won by 7 lengths was a very weak affair. The second favourite needed to lead but missed the break, the third favourite pulled too hard, and the winner got the run of the race, bagged the rail and just kept going.
The winner finished sixth in the Epsom dash last time out, and was now in a seller/claimer (don’t know which one exactly without checking) so was fully entiteld to win by a wide margin.

sorry chaps, I did make a mistake.That was Adrian Nicholls’s only ride of the day,
but I’ll stand by the point that it was an extremely
weak contest and the winner was obviously well thought
of to run at Epsom in a much higher class and then dropped
into this company.You’re talking about the wrong race Matthew, the 1/7 shot was in the first race and won by 5 lengths

You’re talking about the wrong race last time out. The beast last competed in…no wait…it was the Epsom dash.
