12/1 was value for a horse who;
- Has won 5 races in 3 years (NHF, Class 3 Novice Hurdle, Class 4 Novice Chase, Grade 2 Novice & Class 2 Handicap Chase)
- Went two years without winning a race
- Trainer suspects the horse has no stamina
- Horse has never won a Grade 1
- His last three wins he's only beaten 12 runners
Some of the comments in his races in last two years;
- Not fluent
- Hung left, one paced
- Blundered, weakend next
- Unseated rider leaving the paddock, blundered, hit the next
- Not fluent, one paced
- Hung, weakend the next
- Pushed along, stayed on one paced
This horse would be lucky to even find himself running in a King George, most overhyped plodder making all the right noises in a village full of thickos.
I would make Somersby a 100-1 shot for winning the King George! it will see Kautos arsehole all the way around and will probably be eating the shit flying off its hoofs too
