Nice one Slim.
Curragh 2.40
Sufoof
just for info..
the ground is a lot worse than last week here..its 109 lengths per mile slow this week...last week it was "only" -44 lpm on the straight. In flat terms its bottomless and some..bottomless on the flat is -77
By way of comparison..Donny yesterday was bad enough at -56
this is probably some of the worst flat ground
i think its worth looking at the distance suggestion from the breeding when the ground is this bad..the races themselves won't seem like they are being run at the trip..its like they need to stay at least another furlong+..just to get home..looking at the 3 at the head of the betting in that race Sufoof would look like a proper 6f horse whilst the other two had a bit more stoutness in their breeding. Change the ground to Good g/s and such as Sufoof would look better option in that race.
its just worth bearing in mind in these conditions imo..extra stamina is needed by some way
no i'm not messing with Slim's info...i only posted becasue its so bad here and i think its info that people should bear in mind Benny
we all make our minds up in this game and info about everything is key..the ground today needs bearing in mind..because its not heavy as such..its absolute pap...even with the horse that won the first..it had stamina on the dam side..whereas the fav in that looks speedier type
i just look at distance medians of sire and damsire and make a rough judgement on that
just have a look at the time that mdn has just been run in..its 14 seconds slower than standard..they only went 6f..its a 7f time.. something like 7 or 8 seconds slow is really bad ground..heavy ground..14 seconds slow is just mental
The O'Brien horse in the last is bred to get 2 miles
i know..looks like a Gold cup hoss..but i wasn't saying Slim
go with info..thats what you do
i had to mention the ground though..its so bad
I even like your stats
don't start liking stats Benny...we all they know they rubbish..and sectionals are nonsense.
the more stoutly bred is AOB's but Slims has High Chapparal on dam side..so i wouldn't like to call it
Elusive Ellen ( 4.20) absolutely blew in dropped back to this trip latest, and should have the legs of a similar bunch today.
Current 9/4 is a bonus.
