On The Bridle
At the Start
After doing my EW dough on an unlucky Seal Rock I am now burdening Feeling Fresh in the 5:30 at York with the 2 stone penalty of my hard earned. He has already drifted to 12/1 after my bet.
Acclamazing in the 3.15 at York. He's been on my horses to follow list since he won at Newmarket in April. Unfortunately he wont get in the Wokingham but 8/1 is OK today.
excellent run from an unfavoured low draw - unlucky
not sure the draw mattered..seal rock would have gone close without trouble..also drawn low
I backed Seal Rock and I don't believe he was unlucky -I believe that conditions were just a little bit too quick for him.
I will be having a nice bet on him next time when I would imagine the trainer will be looking for a stiffer track and ground that isn't as fast as today.
The reason I don't view him as unlucky is that he didn't possess the tactical pace to get out of trouble under today's conditions.
when a horse gets knocked sideways in front of you..its not tactical speed you need..more like a magic carpet
not sure i agree with you Luke..he got cut up real bad..but would partly agree he didn't come rushing through the gap before it closed
seemed to get outpaced then stay on to me..as said..jockey never touched him..which seems odd in a valuable race like that
I only seen this race last night and tend to agree with LUKE on this one. However, another factor I felt affected him is that he was racing out on his own really. When the horse came up on his outside he seemed to latch on.
One for another day, perhaps with a rail draw, or at least in amonst them.
Well done, Chef, with ROOKNRASPBRYRIPPLE at Thirsk at 3/1.
Thx Col - thats todays bets paid for
