Haaf A Sixpence one for the notebook. Last place to third in the 1:55 at Doncaster. Good run, stayed on well. Being by Haafhd, probably needs the cut in the ground he got today.
Oh I love this horse and I can absolutely guarantee he's much, much better than that. I got the distinct impression that he was nowhere near as fit as connections would have liked and its a testament to how talented and well handicapped he was for him to win. I think Educate will be this years Maarek and continue his progression at a rate of knots and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he's competing in Group races at the end of the season.
Cheers lads. I had 5 times as much on last week as I did today but I don't think he would have won last week
Thanks United.........now if Arsenal, Chelsea and Norwich could all do the same we may have a glimmer again...........yeah right!
Spirit Quartz over in Dubai at 12s, small stakes. Form last season was very solid bar the performance on bottomless ground at the Arc meet. Taking a chace that he needed the run LTO and will improve today.
**** me, was only a league runner but I haven't had one fall when looking the winner for ****ing ages. Sickener.
3.05 Doncaster Jacks Revenge 20/1 Another minefield but I really like the chances of George Baker's 5 year old who was very progressive last year and who goes extremely well fresh. Starting off last season off a mark of 70, Jacks Revenge won two and was placed in 5 of his 8 starts last season as he finished the year with an excellent 2nd off a mark of 89. He's been raised 2lb since then and I don't think he's finished improving just yet. An impressive winner on soft, he seems to be drawn on the right side of the track in stall 16 and I think he's been primed to run a huge race.
