What are you backing Today? Part 2

Chel 1.15 - Prince Escalus 14/1, BOG - The trainer has had four runners in this race in the last 10 years and has won three times, the most recently being with Sky Pirate two years ago off 134 before ending the season on 159. A disappointing reappearance requires forgiving but that was six months ago. The ones above him in my ratings table are a bit iffy in terms of their profile. The market weakness is a bit of a concern but not enough to put me off.

Small bet on Russian Emporer EW 4 places. Would be interested in Stone Age if I could bet into the local pool where I think the odds will be better but not sure if there's anywhere to do this (tote are showing placepot only for HK).
 
I'm quite interested in Sky Legend tomorrow in Dundalks 5.00.

A nicely bred horse by Galileo out of a Siyouni mare. He probably didn't hit the heights someone once expected, but did enough in England in his limited career to suggest he could do better with time. He was also gelded over the summer which could bring about improvement. 16s worth a bet.

Had a look at the Kempton card myself as there's nothing else going on and I think Moss Gill is worth a go in the 7.45. He's not had a productive year but has the back class to go close here off 99 (rated 108 at his best in '21)
 
He is on the drift which is a slight worry.

I have done Moss Gill in an each way double with my pick at Dundalk (just a small token sporting bet for an interest).

Very clever touch by Stuart Williams today. Horse had 3 runs at huge odds like 80/1.

Usually when you look back at previus runs you can spot when the haven't been off but not one clue would have put you on to it.

17/2 and bigger on the exchange horse was absolutely hammered into 6/4 winning by a head,

Not bad if you can get it:)
 
Stuart is one of the shrewdest trainers around. If he has one laid out for a touch, it usually obliges.
 
Been keen on Moss Gill all day, logically the drift doesn't seem warranted.

But just remembered where I heard Ventura Tormenta....Hannon fancied him to run well in the Wokingham, but was withdrawn. Guess he took a knock. Jockey has won last 2 sand runners for Hannon, and finished closeish on 3 others.

Just sayin'. Also on the drift currently.


Edit..just found this..."Racing Update: High class 2yo in 2020, winning the The Group 2 Prix Robert Papin. Suffered a serious fetlock injury as a 3yo (still has a screw in there) and injured his pelvis when due to run in The Wokingham in June of this year. He’s back, right as rain now, and long may it continue. Still rated OR 100 and blew away the cobwebs at Chelmsford last week. Had a good blow afterwards and has pulled out sound as a pound. Hopefully over all his niggles now, he should have a busy AW season and will be competing in plenty of £50,000 and £100,000 handicaps over the next year or so. Still an entire and still only a 4yo, he’s low mileage and should provide plenty of days out at the big tracks, AW and turf (God willing that is). He could just win a BIG one too and an eternal optimist could even envisage him, back, competing at Group level. "


Edit edit oh b0llocks, looks like racing is abandoned
