Disadvantaged by sedate pace around sharp Lingfield track - will come into his own over further,or off a stronger pace.
Conversely, Royal Champion will be noted as a 12f horse. - Not yet,imo.
 
Yesterday's race was at Southwell Reet just to save any confusion when looking back.
 
I've a list of 50 x 3yo's to follow which I would be happy to include on the site, I suggested this to admin about four weeks ago but have not heard anything back yet ......... it's beginning to look like it will be hosted elsewhere.
It's a good selection, with maidens - dark horses and some with proven form ....... not all the obvious ones.

It's a 6600 word document mate, I'm not sure if it would sit well in a general forum reply. Ideally I am looking for a site to host it, I uses to have a site called The Racing Hub feature it but unfortunately the chap that ran the site passed away a couple of years back.

I'm sure its doable. And would be much appreciated. Admin doesn't always pick things up quickly - maybe start at thread saying "Oi MisterB!"

Sorry about that. It was on my to do list, but got caught up with other things. Is this the doc you sent to me a few weeks back?

Two Tempting ran a cracker in the Lincoln Trial on his return from a 3 month break.

A 1m winner at Asot and Sandown in the past, looks sure to improve again fr the stiffer test of the Doncaster mile.
Have taken the 40/1 with B365.
 
Dupont Law won a decent maiden cosily at th Curragh yesterday; beating a a promising AOB colt by 2l.
Handled the soft ground well,and trainer said he'll improve plenty.

A Dream To Share.
Showed up in a mile maiden at The Curragh yesterday, a fast finishing fourth after all kinds of trouble.
Flat bred so could be a factor in 12f plus handicaps as the season progresses.

Brian Gleeson's name cropped up on another thread over the weekend and I remembered that his son rode the winner of the Cheltenham Bumper for JP a couple of years ago. I remembered that John Kiely was the trainer, but had to search for the name of the horse as it hadn't run much subsequently. This was it. Didn't expect it to finish so well on its first start.

Delacroix despite getting edged out in desperate ground in the Futurity, is a horse I shall keep on the right side of. He’s a lovely big horse by Dubawi out of the exceptional, Tepin who won the BC Mile. She’s also the dam of Grateful.

Looks even nicer this year with a good win today in the Ballysax so has shortened to 10-1 for the Derby.

George Baker said it took a serious amount of effort for Delacroix to negotiate the bend.

I didn’t watch it as I was out for the day...so Irish Derby more like? He’s quite a big horse from what I can remember? Maybe Aiden will pop him in at Chester to find out...:LOL:

29/3 Doncaster - Brocklesbury 3rd/17. Exclamation was in the outside draw and slowly away either by accident or design. Quickly three lengths or so behind the pack he was given even more to do by moving across to the inside rail. Made steady progress, but then seemed to falter a bit as push came to shove before finishing strongly into third. Given that strong finish, the extra work he had to do after the slow start and the move across the track it looks like six furlongs will come easy.

from me!
 
I think there is already one but I replied to this as I'd flagged Delacroix last year. I don't know if the most recent posts can now be cross-posted?

best i can do pushing them across

Promethean is on my tracker from last year and he was eye-catching in the Spring Mile. This trip was surely too short for him being out of a Bering mare and I didn't back him on Saturday for that reason. He's interesting stepped up in trip.

Magnum Opus was also in my tracker last year but I took him off it when he disappointed me at the Leger meeting. He was held up like the front two in the Lincoln but was asked for his effort before Godwinson and Oliver Show so can be marked up for this effort. I can see him being competitive in the big mile handicaps going forward....he's got form over further than a mile so maybe the Hunt Cup would be a nice target for him given the stiff Ascot finish.
