I have known a couple of people involved in ownership and I had some close quarter observation of it all and I came to the conclusion that there is a lot of second car salesmanship going on even when you have the horse with a trainer. Its always about to win or beating a course winner on the gallops easily but just has not yet translated it to the course. If on the other hand the trainer has plenty of people wanting to put horses into his stable he will tell you to take it away quickly if its no good, suggesting that so and so’s yard will suit it better, which means they are desperate but I am not.
Hi Simon, Do you not think that it would be in the interest of punters to not have sectional timings generally available. Last year I was all over Jezki for the Champion based on Sectionals, I doubt this would have been possible with sectionals analysed to death in the media. The previous quote is spot on regarding all models are flawed but some are useful. I would rather have a flawed but useful model than a perfect but less useful variation. It also seems a little hopeful of us to wish for sectionals when many clerks of the course cannot be bothered to remeasure distances after altering running rails. I will be up in the Peak area early summer, I will catch up with you for that pint.
I was resfused on Long Run for the Gold cup and Champagne Fever in the Supreme 5/1 and 6/1
Hi
If you are wondering where the hell Bobs Worth came from to win the Gold Cup and are generally tired of C4’s arty close ups that cut viewing of the horses YOU backed then please take a few seconds to sign my petition against these punter unfriendly arty shots
