Newmarket April Meeting

So much for Michael Stoute being a genius of a trainer down the years.

More Thunder, on its first run for new trainer William Haggas, drops back from 10f to 6f and hacks up.

Haggas is a genuinely brilliant trainer. I'd love to know what led him to the decision to drop back so far.
 
Some nice types in the Woodditton today but most of them very fat! I plumped for High Stock after Jason said it looked the fittest and despite being green he won well. He will improve on this - should be several to take out of the race - both Gosden's were fat as pigs! Liked the Haggas horse too. A race to rewatch, methinks.
 
Another nice one in Sajir tipped up by Jason- he's worth following especially at this time of year.

Appleby's horses seem to be a bit flat atm?
 
To my eyes the Godolphin horse was just weighing them up there. (Either that or the jockey wasn't exactly at his brilliant best.)

I thought the runner-up was the eyecatcher and when the ground firms up again I can see Lethal Levi winning in this grade.
 
That was a pretty nice performance by Field of Gold there and looking at him in the paddock, he will come on some for that too. A big horse who didn't seem to mind the dip either. Nice.
 
I see the 85-rated winner of the opening 3yo handicap ran 0.82s faster than the 109-rated Abernant winner over CD. The 3yo was carrying 9lbs less than the Abernant winner so it still works out about 3.5lbs faster plus there would be the WFA scale to factor in so all in all I can't help thinking the 3yos' race form will be worth keeping an eye on.
