ran well the race went exactly to plan but the Fav can run the track which was the only Q!
"a horse going through heavy ground needs to be like a prop but on the firm ground like a winger" That was a quote or near to it.
Must be an image thing.Racing seem to be trying to get a new image to bring the punters in.
All they have to do is turn the race courses into big pubs and let everyone in for nothing.People in this country ,if they can booze with discount,will turn up in droves but no one in racing seems to know that.
After that great billing Mr Holland gets taught a lesson by a horse slow out of the traps.Watching the race again there was nothing he could do.If he wanted to go past he could of but probably ruin all chance of winning.I wonder if they will put a visor on the winner next time?
4.00 bath dance east win/place
I didnt expect that.Mr Robinson didnt read the script or did he
talking of front runners 4.00 bath.
Darryll Holland rides in the race and should get an easy lead.Even if Jim crowley decides to take him on he can win chasing the pace.Out of 10 how do you rate Mr Holland riding in front.I give him an 11!!Good call in the big race today! Would be interested in your working out of it.
I couldn’t explain without writing too many words but its all pace x course x finishing time.
It doesn’t help because before you look at the race you have a preconception that is wrong 90% of the time.Its only my opinion.
Simple is good in this case imo. The figures back that up. There will be exceptions of course but big picture you’d go skint bigtime backing hold up horses in flat handicaps run over bad ground.
I cant argue with that but knowing that isn’t going to help somebody looking at "A" race trying to pick a winner.
I hate stats though !! Are the stats different with low and high grades. Without looking I would guess there is?If its a flat handicap and the going is officially soft or heavy, if the horse your backing hasnt raced prominently in 2 of its last 3 races, or hasnt led in 1 of its last 3 races, the returns are horrific, particularly for horses of 4 years and older.
Mr Wilson making much sense imo.
The Mr Wilson prognosis was a tad simplistic.Imo but that doesn’t mean its wrong.
Depends on the runner. A free easy lead that hates the going still wont get home most of the time.
There are blasters that normally hate the going ,they get such an easy lead because the rest of the field are hold ups, they still win.so to answer your question Every race is different!!
