GF as on Decs. GStick 07:00am. 3mm watering after Fri meeting. Light+ NE Wind = 1/2 Headwind from Right. Fahey SLife pre-race "They are three nice colts who will all win races this year. I gave Tony Hamilton the choice and I suppose he had to ride Bahamian C who ran so well to be second on debut here but The Grumpy Gnome and Ventura Quest shouldn't be underestimated. It's a shame I have to run three in the race but the owners - and the trainer - love to have runners at York and there we go. If I had to pick one it would be the one with experience but the other two will win maidens and I wouldn't put anyone off either." Slower pace to Hf & some pulling. Pace upped afterwards to produce a solid test but the usual extended distances (like HYDk) which seemed out of line with Pace overall. The Grey Gatsby an extravagant mover and always racing Centre line with others Cent-FrSd and hanging left after Hf. TGGatsby eyecatching before halfway bec being held and making his action look a bit 'climbing' but still looking very athletic. Able to make best effort (cent line any adv?) and finishing race off. Brazos an Easy Lead in Centre & able to stick with winner until late on. Bachamian C a slow start and last erl then hustled into making ground but into a slower pace. Ldg line before Hf. That effort early and perhaps not being ment 'Sharp' on day some excuse but look lesser type than 1st two home. Also made less good effort than Ventura Quest (3rd best eff) & Royal Banker (solid effort but just Mdm). Song Of Rowland 1st run for training lauded as a 'Switcher King'. Ran a very competent race but smaller than any of the 1st 5 home and just unable to match their efforts. Seemed to run to WHI. |
