GGF from G the previous day. Going Stick Reading from = Never updated on official website, again. [Eventually appeared in the Archive List week+ later] Medium to Stiff WSW Wind = Three-Quarter Headwind from Right. Charlton website after the race = "I suppose it is always frustrating to be a beaten favourite in a group race but the race was not really run to suit to Dundonnell. He is a big strong free going colt who needs a decent pace and plenty of cover and having dropped in behind Tha'Ir James found himself several lengths behind Toronado and had to make up ground to challenge the eventual winner. The race was perhaps run to suit the winner and it was no disgrace to be beaten half a length by Richard Hannon's best two year old. We will carefully consider his future before deciding if and where he runs again this season." Slow Pace and Toronado allowed to dictate pace and nest placed for the 2F sprint. But likely the better horse at this stage anyway. Add versions of 'Not Disgraced' to the meaningless Phrase pile. It doesn't contain a number or any ability level and is just personal comment of no real value. |
