No surprise that Without Parole was no 4/7 shot. Had he not been a son of Frankel there would have been a lot less hype after Ascot. I am sure they had some good reason for trying to make the running when the horse idled in front last time once it hit the front.
The top three year old miler was stood in her box today. Lightning Spear finally got his day in the sun in what was a Group 1 race in name only. No complaints about Expert Eye – at least they got back their supplementary fee even if I went into the red for the meeting.
I cannot say that I fancy anything on Thursday. I have already come up with reasons not to back any of the six in the Nassau.
evening mates!
GALWAY PLATE,7 20
a fiercely competitive renewal this year,but one,that i really do like is PEREGRINE RUN.makes his handicap debut today,but has enough very good form in novice events last season,so deserves his place here.looks a solid e w shout.the only slight negative is the probably soft ground,but if he gets away wth it today,is a serious player..

Apparently he went to a prostitute for his first sexual encounter. After a frantic 30 minutes of wild sex, she said "Wow, what's your name?" He replied "I'm Thor". "I'm not thurprised" she replied
I'll get my coat
Really good horses don't need pacemakers. They can win from the front or coming from behind. Don't think their was a really good horse in that race.
1st race winner at Sandown winning jockey Thore Hammer Hanson!
I Googled him and it would appear that he was born in Germany in 1999: Thore Hammer-Hansen
He is attached to Richard Hannon’s yard here. He was an amateur jockey in Germany. His first winner was Hurricane Harry at Krefeld on 4th April 2017 when he was 17. His father, Lennart, is a former jockey and now a trainer based at Iffezheim in Germany, but originates from Denmark.
His ‘pro’ apprentice stats look pretty good so far. As of 01/08/2018 his 22 rides had yielded nine places (40 per cent) and four wins (18 per cent).
Well that may be so. Yes, in a truly run race a good horse can win from the front or come late; but if it they go too slowly in front, it can end up being won by the horse that is fastest over 100 metres. Without a pacemaker, I put that down to the jockey. A good jockey has a clock in his head (like Lester)
Agreed but to do what Lester did on Alleged in the Arc or Mercer did on Brigadier Gerard in his Sussex Stakes win they had to know they had a really good horse under them.
