The 2025 York August Meeting Day 4 (Saturday) Thread

If you've had a lousy York, console yourself with the reminder that Dick Turpin had a worse Knavesmire experience on 7th April 1739.

He never even made it to the Dante, let alone the Ebor, let alone seeing his execution date namesake win a Whitbread and a Hennessy!

Ah yes, the first, and most extreme case of hanging across the Knavesmire.

I think you burgled my notes overnight Ian, because I have four of the same horses and I only picked one horse in each race.

I'm spirituality torn in the Melrose. I've followed and backed Novelista the last three times.

The first time I thought he was put to the front way too soon on his first try at 1M6F, the next time he couldn't get there in time when finishing fast and was denied in a head bob, and then last time, we'll I just can't work out that run.

He was over the shorter distance of 1M4F and didn't appear to see it out, and that run has really made it difficult for one to predict what he might do today.

Mind you, Charlie Johnston said before that race he was aiming him at this race, and he has been well backed overnight.
Do I give him another go or back Euro's fancy Daiquiri Bay, who I also think has a chance.

I had a feeling after Novelista's last run that he could be an even better horse if they gelded him. Charlie Johnston seems to leave a lot of handicappers ungelded for longer periods of time than other trainers.

Good luck today guys, I've enjoyed reading the analysis on here.

Novelista needs gelding. Clear as daylight. See how long it takes Charlie Johnston and partners to suss out.
