SUMMARY
|
GFG in early am as on Decs.
Stalls centre.
=== Pre Race ===
Trainer Charlton saying about the same thing in 215 for both Bitter Orange & Clodianna. They are both 'neat' (small?) and hoped they would both be out early over 5f but both had setbacks. He then wanders off, pointlessly, into Pedigree Wiffle that adds less than nothing in interest or worthwhile info. Put a picture of them on the Charlton website instead. Way more useful.
No Hannon runner in the race in the first time for how long. Regular winners of this event over the years (last in 2012 but no season winner from 3 reps 2013-14). Have often had 3 reps in the race. An indication of less cheap buys these days?
=== Post Race ===
Trainer Portman's stable sponsor - Pump Tech - have sponsored this card for many years. Trainer tries to have what horses he can ready for the various races on this card. But only previous place in these races, before Poster Girl's win, was useful Annecdotes 2nd in the equivalent race in 2012. But, the trainer does have a record of some over-prepared FTO wins over the years, 3 previously at NWBY at SPs of 33/1, 25/1 & 16/1. Market knows little about the yard. With Zeeoneandonly running poorly leaving a weak race with the task of beating the small trier Little Swift
Slower Pace with field racing wide grouped on Stands Rail. Pace upped soon after Halfway to produce enough Pace pressure to fold the runners in Ranks by ability. Solid effort given race shape by Zeeoneandonly having led the race on the rail.
[Jul 5th] Love And Fear a bit of bulk positive but not neatly made. Not fit enough and very green in the race. Reared out of stalls alte and always off the back. Some mild progress after halfway to contact the stragglers by-2f but fading before 1f out and hanging left. Usable 60s when fit and ready?
