Daily Racing Thread Sunday 7th. June 2020

At Newmarket's 2yo day last October two that went into my little red book were Trefoil and King Leonidas. Let's see what happens today.

 

Both still running mate

 

im not his greatest fan

 

Obrien might regret not running Peaceful today, form well franked there by Run Wild. Must have a good chance in the consolation race at the Curragh.

 

haydock,3 15:

quite a few to be considered here,but i feel,that SPACE BLUES has just about the best form in the book.his narrow second in the jersey stakes last season was boosted by the winner(space traveller)a few starts later,who won the boomerang stakes in ireland.my first thought was urban icon,but then he was already twice behind my selection,and he has to carry a penalty too.so,definite shout today for SPACE BLUES.

 

Looks like the usual with these Ralph Beckett back end winners not delivering much at 3.

Max Vega, Kinross and Trefoil all well beaten.

 

Mightily impressive from Run Wild there. She shot them to pieces and then some. I was right in thinking she was better value than her stablemate. Alpen Rose had form tied in with Run Wild but she was never in it today. Slowly away and always further back than you would have wanted, she made some headway briefly but her run petered out. I would be worried if she has trained on looking at that. The favourite pulled too hard early and has an extravagant action. She was a silly price in my opinion this morning. Trefoil and Queen Daenerys ran quite well but it was a one filly race. I had said coming in that three fillies dominated the ratings thus far and sadly I picked the ****tiest one of the trio on the day.

8/1 Run Wild for the Oaks now and that could be shorter still after the 1000 Guineas.

 

Couldnt be having Run Wild for the Oaks, be surprised if she even runs. Wouldnt stay in a horse box as they say.

 

Good old Space Blues, supplemented for the Derby last year and backed by myself on the heads of it, shows once again that Charlie Appleby and I both got the wrong signals from his mile win on soft as a 2YO. He's a funny sort of horse and I think he needed that 7th furlong today but I doubt he would be better at a mile. I guess they will be scouring around for 7F races this season.

 

Class

 

Doesn't say much for the Pretty Polly if she splatted that lot by almost 4 lengths.

 

You love to see it boys, you love to see it.

Very short for the Oaks after that, lovely filly.

 

Get in Love

 

Aiden gotLove ready enough.

Well done to Ryan Moore

 

In hindsight, the fact that hes sent such a good filly to Ireland probably was a hint that Love had improved, the money for her in both classic markets as well told you the vibes were strong about her.

7/4 for the Oaks

 

Love pissed it. Well done Benoit Blanc, take a bow. 20/1 is massive shout.

A funny old race and I was surprised Quadrilateral was so prominent early. I couldn't understand the prices on Raffle Prize and Millisle. Two probable sprinters and Jessica Harrington may as well have stayed at home with the filly she was confident about getting a mile.

Skinny for the Oaks now but Love looked likely to stay based on the way she came away.

Boomer was poor but then everything was pretty poor really. You could argue Quadrilateral may yet do better but she was put firmly in her place today.

Cracking shout Benoit and I love seeing ante-post punters rewarded to confound those who say it is a mugs game.

 

well,what can you say about MILLISLE?not sure,if something was amiss during the closing stages,at least the jockey probably thought so,as he stopped riding,before getting a bit more animated again.but she was out of contention anyway at that time.but something tells me,that wasnt her true run today..also possible,like grendel stated,that it was the distance.
