Bit late but fancy Convection to run well in the tricky last race Nursery over 7f at Newmarket (17:00)
Very disappointing, no show at all. Serves me right as I went against my own rule of never backing a horse first time in a handicap. What a dummy!
Shocking day for backing winners but really should have had the 2 favourites. Ones to Note: Noble Order (Dubawi) is an impressive looking tall colt (but unfurnished) who ran a promising race in the 7f colts maiden. If he grows into that frame he could be a colt to follow next year. In the same race My Prospero was also good looking and very encouraging. Soul Stopper (Postponed) is one to follow over 9f+. The Gadget Man (Jack Hobbs) was probably a bit unlucky and will win races, but this fine looking gelding could have a future as a 4yo over hurdles. The one that beat him Juan Bermudez (Nathanial) was an unconsidered 40-1 shot but didn't run like that. Traces back to Oaks winner Lupe and could be a useful middle distance colt next year.
I'd rather My Prospero hadn't beaten Reach for the Moon, but he's obviously an improving 3yo who could go places over a mile.
