I’m sure i read that GW has strengthened up further this year according to AOB, which is logical with another Winter on his back thus making the distance less of a problem. I get the impression this race was the plan from day 1. I nearly backed him at 16s, I think he might end up single figure odds come race day
Understandable what you are saying, in my long winded rant i was basically trying to get the message across that i think the current market is going to turn out a very false one come next year
I take it you mean hes too dirt bred for your liking?
I have not backed him (so im not that strongly in favour) however, he lost narrowly to Winker Watson who is a best priced 12/1 shot while hes at 25s.
In the July stakes River proud was up there with the pace all the way, where as WW had the opportunity to come off the strong pace. RP was pretty much the 1st one under pressure at the head of affairs but kept finding off a decent pace from the get go (inexperience maybe who knows only had a maiden run, we know how much 2yo’s can improve from run to run)…so to me the market doesnt really add up. Maze is in there at the same price when his pedigree screams Derby not Guineas and his trainer has said this… I’m off out now but quickly…looking at the betting for the guineas those that spearhead the market seem either sprinters or derby runners to me…on pedigree at least.
Sorry if that doesnt make any sense im just writing streaming thoughts!
The Champagne stakes looks interesting, I think river proud has to be a somewhat overlooked horse in the guineas betting at the moment and what a story it would be if Dragon Dancer could rack up a few group wins!
