I suppose Charles Byrnes is the last man that needs a lecture on taking advantage of handicap marks so you’d have to assume Solwhit must be rated very highly if they’re prepared to ignore the handicap route.I’m sure the handicapper was only itching to lump him up a few pounds, very surprised (as I heard Mr Byrnes was too!) to see this horse in the winners enclosure that day. It doesn’t make sense to say the handicapper has forced his hand however, a rating of 141 would be perfect for a raid on a valuable handicap imo. If the horse gets within 10l of the winner saturday he’ll probably be raised another 10-12lbs…
I have Solwhit in my ten to follow so i’ll be keeping a close eye on him! Have to say i’m a bit surprised he’s entered in this,I pictured him more as a pierse hurdle/tote gold trophy horse this season, he has a potentially very tasty handicap mark at the moment
Took over from his dad (Harry?) a number of years ago and had a lean time of it for a while. His big break came when he met the English businessman Alan Potts (not apracing!) who has provided significant financial backing. All the ‘Sizing’ horses are named after Potts’ mining company. Has definitely done well once given his chance…
