Record: 21 races: 5-3-4: (wins: MSW + 1 allowance + 3 Stakes)

 

High favourite in this very small field and trainer Wolverine was very smart to pick out this race. This 4y colt seems to run best on a wet track which is not the case today. Last race posted his carreerbest speed on 10f finishing only one length behind the leader.  Also has the topjockey on his back, so no excuses allowed if he does not finish first.

Record: 11 races: 4-1-1: (wins: MSW + 3 allowances)

 

Keen move from trainer Richardrobe to find this small field for the first Stakesrun of his colt: certain to pick up bps. On the other hand this guy seems to be better on dirt in my opinion (2 wins out of 2). Whish him all best but don’t think he will be on the podium.

Record: 71 races: 13-16-14: (wins: MSW + 7 allowances + 5 Stakes)

 

What a long history this horse has. Debuted as a 2y old on 6f turf in a fabulous 88 Speed and won both on Turf and Dirt in his carreer. His last Stakeswin however was already 2 years, but since then still managed to win and/or post reasonably good speeds. I do not think he will win her but he has a chance a good chance to finish on the board.

 

 

4          5M            GOLDEN LIGHT               foxon5              5/2            Golden Missile x Mr Greeley x Majestic Light

Record: 41 races: 17-8-5: (wins: MSW + 1 Claimer + 10 Starters + 4 allowances + 1 Stakes)

 

This horse was not so good in his early carreer and has seen a lot of trainers already. Foxon managed to claim this one at 15bps at 3y and immediately got a streak of 8 Starters and 1 Allowance. In all races this colt rode for Foxon his worst finish was a 4th place in a Stakes. Well done foxon. I am sure you are proud to have claimed this one. This horse even seems to improve with age and is posting his best speeds at this moment. I am not sure this race will be far enough for him as he seems to need longer. If there is one to be able to beat BARB’S ROSEBUD it is this guy.
