SUMMARY

GGS from GS on Decs in early am. Medium+ Southerly Wind = 3/4 Tailwind. === Post Race === A race in Profile which seemed to have some closely matched horses with prospects for running too hard early on and not seeing the race out on the uphill section on softer going. A set-up like those in moderate BTON maidens where the 'Minor Chaos' in the race likely to 'make' the winner. Rather than something just being good enough to get the job done. For example, if you could have had the Picture above showing the set-up of the race after 2f+ of the downhill section run and before the uphill kicks in, prior to the race your judgement of the odds would be different. Given the way the race played out the leading 4 going too fast and/or running too freely. The leading 3 from rail out are Highly Sprung, Avenue Of Stars & Rupert Boy with St Georges Cross in behind them (lime green). The winner - Fast And Furious had pulled himself intot he leading line LTO at YORK and not seen the 6f out. Here, FAF (Orange cap) has been held a good way off the pacemakers and settled. The other 4 are behind through some mix of green, unable to go the pace, being ridden for a usable OR mark, etc. Turned into a mild war between the best of the front 4 as they slogged it out uphill with both Highly Sprung & St Georges Cross hanging right as they tired and maintaining the same gap between from halfway until the line. Both ok for 70+ and HS looking like another MaJo 2yo still improving on later runs. Rupert Boy missing since the Brocklesby when he looked like he might have packed-it-in. Headgear here and hustled along from a wide draw and got too fired up. Short and bulky and perhaps 60+ but 5f, say. First to drop out of the leading 4. Tame effort from Avenue Of Stars to be fading before 1f out and not progressing with racing and looking a bit neat and missed-the-boat unless he gets back on track and finds a weak nursery. (Missed the Redvers tweet about another Makfi running poorly but I guess some cannot deal with reality and need to live in a Candyfloss, imaginary World, instead). Regualr readers will hear B2yoR trying not too like Fast And Furius as a smaller one, lacking scope. Has hinted at more zip than his frame promises before and looked a tirier and mostly professional here. In this race, the sized biased B2yoR view would be that his ability to race back of the pace settled meant he was able to stay on late, running straight down the rail with opther hanging, to win. He wasn't making any ground until the placed horses folded. But, able to play the 'Numbers Game' on that to find out what is going on. If FAF gets 76, or 77, as a Nursery Mark he is going to need a below average handicap in the North to win (probably assisted by the racecraft he demonstrated here). If you think he can win off 80+ then pile onto him in a competitive 6f nursery at YORK (and pray for some Medium Chaos..). Keep the "tenderly ridden" Mr Potter in mind for a moderate race somewhere as he develops.
