Sunday Summer Chase Formreading Workshop

[Gerald]

Both Jimandgary and Panama At Once are non-runners.

Our Jim and Petroupetrov are both non-runners as well.

I’m particularly annoyed that Our Jim is a non-runner as he was still favourite, and a reduction factor of 19% applied. I wanted to see whether he could justify favouritism just on the strength of trainer form, McCain having had another two winners already this afternoon.

Rather fancied Shammy Buskins till I read about the jumped right handed bit. And I said I’d back everything that Kim Bailey is running at the moment. Good job I’m having a sabbatical at the moment or I’d back half the field again.

Shammy Buskins’ trainer had won another race earlier this afternoon.

Alexanderthegreat surprised.
Basoda was embarrassing.
Nearly got it right with Prophet De Guye. Stamina problem again though?

Financial washout.

I don’t mind when a short-priced horse wins, but it is a real affront to my honour when a nicely priced horse that I rejected wins.

Rather fancied Shammy Buskins till I read about the jumped right handed bit.

Maybe he can’t see very well out of his right eye? There was a horse like that running last night that Rory commented on.

[moehat]

I’m not sure that he always tended to jump right handed, but possibly only when things weren’t going right for him or if he running over the wrong distance and being taken off his feet a bit. Ran over the track over the wrong distance to have a bit of a pipe openener.
