[A couple of points from the Catterick race on Wednesday for the early
viewers of the page. If you can find a way to then you should look at the
VT of the race going to halfway and the winner is just plain bigger and
rangier than the others. It was predictable at this point that the winner
would pull away from the rabbits who were going as fast as they could to
keep in the race and those exertions would tell in the last two furlongs.
The guys who stand around the racecourses making money by trading on the
exchanges using the lesser time delay must have found that an easy race
to find a margin. The other point would be that it was such a weak race
in profile that the two best backed horses, including the favourite, were
the Ron Harris trained pair. This from a man who has never had a 2yo finish
closer than 6th on debut, remember (and that in a 6 horse race). Well, he
improved his record here because one managed to get to 4th but how can
betting on horses with that profile be sensible unless you can see them.
Even then the clumsy performances of his pair here tell you for him to
have a good debut of his home preparation will need a good horse who is
also a natural.]
