CoC quote = "Inner of Straight has been dolled out 15yds at 6f and 6yds at the Winning Line (A 3yd inner strip of fresh ground has been provided by this)". Who knows what the text in brackets mean - was it out wider at the last meeting?

=== Post Race ===

Comfortable win for Nisser and little opposition depending upon what type Dream Destination was. DD a solid type, ok strong and deep and ok for 75 but too green here. Hannon interviewed after the race saying that Nisser had disappointed STO at ASCT when they thought he would win. Nisser had been a possible type for the Coventry in early season but the poor STO run a rethink. Trainer inclined to put the ASCT run down to the track and being a bit green. Nisser just a neat medium one and very fit. Not a powerhouse and an early type showing up well but lacking scope? Hannon saying he would look for a Conditions race for Nisser in the ATR interview post race. Mentioned he might try something like the (afterthought 7f Gp3) Horris Hill is it develops well. Somehow this got reported as "Hannon aiming for Pattern Glory with Nisser" by Weatherbys the morning after. Never trust the headlines/summaries - too many biases and agendas involved. Have to dig out the orginal material yourself or get lost in the nonsense. Nullius in Verba (on the word of no-one).

Hannon looking more hassled and less chipper than his usual cheerful self. You wonder whether the Hughes retiring change is getting too him. The interviewer asked about whether he had more later developing, 7f 2yos in 2015 and therefore a slower season so far. This seems to be one of thos 'urban myths' that gets started and repeated until it becomes 'true'. Up to race 377 this year Hannons record was 108 individual 1yos had run, 48 wins by 39 different 2yos at a 19.8% Strike Rate. His record to the same point in 2014 was 58 wins by 41 different 2yos at a 25.0% strike rate. He has run more 2yos, less often each on average for a poor Strike Rate (by the stable's standards - still marvellous in general terms). He has had less useful precocious 2yos and a Group 2 win over 5.5f in France over the weekend (by Gutaifan perhaps indicating his better ones are more developers & less 'Tiggy Wiggy'. But, given the 108 different runners the average quality has been below average for the stable to this point.

Worth noting he is still behind Johnston with 52 wins from 37 different 2yos at 24.6%. Fahey behind his 2014 schedule and looking a lesser group, Channon continuing the downward slide from a terrible 2014. Palmer going along very well at a 29% strike rate.
