Flat 2021 [Dark Horses]

[Grade One]

You would think so, personally would bail out on my bet if allowed in those circumstances

 

[Ron]

i can never recall a horse being re shod at the start , then going on to win ! surely it must affect them in some way ?

Assuming a good farrier, it should improve whatever chance it would have had if left to run unshod

 

[Grade One]

San Cristobal has a each way chance tomorrow at Chantilly (2.45)

First show is 11-2

4th!

some trainers run them without shoes don’t they ?

 

[Ron]

some trainers run them without shoes don’t they ?

No reason why not rudey. Doubt they would want to do it on firm ground though.

My earlier comment was referring to horses who needed to be re-shod

I have no idea rudey but what are the chances that a re-shod horse would have won the race in any event? Have you ever seen or heard of a report that a horse didn't win because it was re-shod before the start? How many horses need to be re-shod before the start? All I can say is that if a horse spreads a plate going to the start, it should perform better if it is re-shod. I doubt it would run it wasn't OK to be re-shod

 

[Grade One]

Number 8 is:Vrigny

She made up a lot of ground to finish 2nd on her Deauville debut last autumn

Of real interest that she makes her seasonal debut in a Group 3 tomorrow (1.33)

Taken the 20-1 each way with Bet 365

 

[Grade One]

Unlucky not to finish closer than 4th!

Got trapped on the rail and it was too late when she got out, yet only beaten 3 lengths.

 

[Grade One]

With the turf season starting the end of next month I am compiling a list of some 3 year old's who should pay to follow

Number 1 is: The Hood

Trained by Alan King he caught my eye on debut in the summer at Newbury. Though unplaced did race on the nearside which seemed to be a disadvantage, but showed ability and I expect the gelding to win races

Nice each way price tomorrow [5.15 Nottingham]

20-1 with Bet 365

 

[Grade One]

Number 5 is: Port Philip

Another Joseph colt who is yet to race, but is owned by Lloyd Williams who normally has some nice staying types with this stable

Debut is tomorrow at the Curragh [3.45]

Looks like being a each way price, trading now at 14-1

Nice each way price tomorrow [5.15 Nottingham]

20-1 with Bet 365

Unplaced...ran like being prepared for a nice handicap mark!

 

[Grade One]

Non Runner

Port Philip runs in the last race today at Naas

Will be a each way price..8-1 at the moment

 

[Grade One]

Weak in the market and never got involved running green

 

[Grade One]

Number 9 is: Agrimony

Irish trained colt who has finished 2nd in both his starts, from a small stable so chances are the horse will be under estimated in the market

 

[Bustino74]

Ed Dunlop isn't my favourite trainer but he's had a couple of unraced 3yos make debuts that interested me. The lead one is Mutawaarid, who ran very green but a nice race yesterday. The other, more speculative, is Uraib. Both owned by the Executors of Hamdan.

 

[Grade One]

Number 10 is: McPherson

Did not win in two runs as a juvenile, but in good hands as his Trainer Jessica Harrington looks set for another decent flat season

 

[Grade One]

Number 4 is: Rekero

Expensive Joseph O'Brien colt who though yet to race was unplaced in a Dundalk barrier trial, but I saw enough there to say he will do well when upped in trip on turf

Runs tomorrow [4.55 Gowran Park]

7-1 the first show

 

[Grade One]

Number 9 is: Agrimony

Irish trained colt who has finished 2nd in both his starts, from a small stable so chances are the horse will be under estimated in the market

Is the market leader [2-1] to win the above race!
