SUMMARY

GGF from GFG on Decs & GGS the Previous Day.

CoC Quote = "Rail dolled out from 6f to 2.5f adding 9yards to distances. Rail was moved on the apex of the bend last night to provide fresh ground.".

Slightly Baffling start to the 8f races with Hawkmeister running poorly and a WTRB made. Any excuse for Lear's Rock in the VRev or just smaller & unproven & at the wrong SP?

Trainer Sylvester Kirk moving up a bit from being unreadable to tip into being annoying (for having an entirely opaque MO). Son-in-Law of Hannon and spent some time as an Assistant but has never looked as organised or consistent a trainer. After having an around Average record with 2yos until 2008 his results have declined steadily since and 2013 very poor for any trainer, let alone one with his connections and backing. His record in 2014 to date is 3 wins from 24 which is ok. But, the wins have been this one at 16/1 in a presumably weak race that was up-for-grabs once the leading pair in the Market failed, and 2 x FTO wins. One at 33/1 by a filly who looked ill-prepared & clueless the other at 25/1. You imagine the trainer doesn't have much idea how they are going to run either. Looking at his runs this year you could say his horses have come into 'Form' in August with the last 6 runs producing 2 wins and 2 places. Anything left in More Drama?
