Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
01 May More filthy weather at Ascot today for the Garter Stakes and more sticky ground as there was at Newbury when Baycat made his debut. If you take Sun Ship & Skid Solo out of the final result in makes sense in line with the Profile ratings with Baycat giving Firth Of Fifth an 8lb beating (10lbs in the pre-race profile) and Grand Honour an 18lb one (12lbs in the profile and Grand Honour has shown a lack of pace for 5f before and was plugging on). Assuming Skid Solo ran disappointingly you are then left only with explaining what happened to Sun Ship.
  • To B2yoR's eyes Sun Ship is still a better long term prospect than Baycat and made the better impression again in Paddock Review. Baycat was still miles fitter and Sun Ship's heavy build means that he still wasn't fit enough. He ran out of steam in the last furlong on testing going which is always likely given his build and fitness while the fitter and sharper models (Baycat & Firth Of Fifth) kept on better. He ran below his profile rating because of that.
