SUMMARY

Pictures of Marsh Pride at Duffield's farm in May (?) after the sale and in this race :-

Hard to know what to make of the first 2 at 7L clear of the others and in a reasonable time. A lot of horses not handling the ground and undulations? A post-race look at Marsh Pride's Breeze Video makes the pair clear more baffling. MP made £14,000 at the DBU when anything with 4 legs and breathing could make £30k+. Does a poor breeze looking small, green and weak below. Looks 'thin legged' and underdeveloped below. Pictures on Duffield website suggest a lightly made one and narrow looking at the posed photos presumably not long after she came back from her April 14th sale. The Race Photo from RIPN suggest she may have bulkd up?

[Aug 29] Just an Average Pace and the most notable point about the two that finished clear was they raced tight to the Stands' Rail while the rest of that Group (Kelly's Finest also rail run) racing way from it. Only Tinkers kiss & Ocean Sheridan making any worthwhile effort to go with the leading pair in the last 1.5f and separating themselves from the rest. Perhaps the rest just no good? Thorkhill Star racing the Far Rail alone and up with the Pace on the Stands Side at halfway.

[Sep 2] Checked back on Splash Of Verve's Breeze Video. Short legged and smaller overall but tubby. Not neatly made. Does an ok breeze visually. Runs straight and uses what range he has. Does pick-up a bit when changes lead.
