He’s either a bridle merchant/softie or Jack didn’t want to win by too far (the owner is JPs wife) so thought hands and heels would do the job – trading at 1.01 the market agrees with him.
I’m unsure which one in all honesty and I’d like to think time will tell but you never know when it comes to the icy tentacles.If Tabor is able to get on, JP will be able to get on. There’s foreign markets, black markets and the machine. Tabor apparently uses the foreign markets from my understanding.
He enjoys the breeding end of things a lot which is where quite a lot of his horses with the lower end trainers go – Helps him support the small trainers, let’s them dawdle round the back for a mark and then Frank works out a target. JP can then get on and if it comes off, he’s winning much more than what he’s paying in trainers fees.
Nobody will never know if JP makes a mint from the handicap punts or not but when they go for one they collect much more often than they miss – See Saint Roi in the County for example.
Very frustrating owner to try and work out, not knowing if one is off or not, but in terms of the game itself he’s a legend that will sorely be missed when gone.
The splits Constitution Hill showed late on on debut shows you he’s the gears for 2 miles Ginger. His timefigures have been better than Jonbons by a way.
CH looks a right tool but is obviously too short. Remember Shishkin went off 7/1!
Jonbon is a headstrong beast that needs to prove he’ll find and find well off the bridle – His brother Douvan wasn’t generous off it
His antics pre-race is a big worry and he hasn’t learnt much in his races so far pulling himself to the front both times over timber. You’ve also the big worry of Aidan Coleman
A lot of water to go under this Supreme betting bridge yet – Moscow Flyer & Deloitte will open this up a lot more.
If Coolmore had Santa Barbara in there as a decoy Fav for Mother Earth then Mother Earth would have been punted into 2/1 Fav. When Tabor and Smith get told to back one, by god they back it. She went off 10s, so the market tells you that theory is highly unlikely.
I’d say your being a bit harsh with ‘found nothing for pressure’ as she did keep on well enough but it was very much noticeable how high her head was as well as how little Moore was wanting to give her a tap.
He’s normally pretty generous with the plastic but with her he seemed at pains to use it. That isn’t her being inexperienced, she’s quirky.It’s also interesting how Aidan has said (and acted on it) that he doesn’t want to give her many runs. Weird she needs massive gaps between races and that the Oaks is next despite her breeding looking like 8-10F is optimum. Looks all over a Irish Guineas/Coronation filly to me.
She ran a cracker for one so In-experienced, but when she’s sent off 5/2 it’s worth noting the above IMO.
Winner was top drawer. Won quite easy to be honest, Frankie new at the furlong pole he’d won. Fev Rover the one to take out of it for me, pulled like a train and still kept on for third. I’d aim her at the Prix De Diane if I was Nick, Hugh and the lads.
Does look a proper beast. Would want to see him in a trial on turf before parting with £ mind.
It could be that they didn’t want to risk the massive filly on the good to firm ground with a dip so soon in the season and thought France would be best. Definitely seems the best option for her if you look beyond Sunday’s Guineas.
Fav is likely to be a weapon but Sacred & Mother Earth (Or is it Snowfall) are the each way plays for me. Sacred stayed the 7 well and I’m going to take a chance on her 8-10F US pedigree staying. ME is a Zoffany which gives me the fear but she has possibly the most solid 2YO form with her 3rd in the Mile and 2nd in the BC.
As a big fan of Van Gogh for the Derby i’m very interested to see how he gets on here. Couldn’t fancy him for this but a nice staying on 3rd or 4th would suit me nicely. As long as he isn’t the pacemaker from a nice draw in 9.
Be very interesting to see if Devilwala stays over his side from stall 1 or not. Other pace looks to be Naval Crown in 11 and Mustaabeq in 12 so you’d expect a middle to stands side main group.
Interesting timing, almost like they were waiting for rain that never came. Hope that is the case and she runs in France, proper filly with a bit of dig.
Yes but you need to incorporate the odds for those stats to be worth anything as you could be losing a fortune backing the Moore rides without that context.
They might state they know but really they’ve not a ******* clue. Oisin doesnt do his own race analysis, he employs someone to do it for him
They might be aiming at the Prix De Diane with SL. That’s 10F and as she bends her knee a bit that’d probably be ideal for her (remember she got pulled from a race the other week because of the quick ground).
The 1000 Guineas isn’t the only race in the world and with these fillies, especially one that’s only broke her maiden the other week. It’s not like the colts where there’s ‘stallion making’ Group 1s races and then there’s other Group 1s which are second rate to the breeding sheds.
