There are 4 meetings to cover tonight.
The one that most interests me in the 2.50 at Haydock is the only filly in the race without a previous outing. Patrick Haslam runs Park’s Girl who is bred to be a two year old. Kevin Darley has the ride. This trainer’s two year olds normally come on for their first run. One to keep tabs on though.
Past winners of this race include Green Tambourine (2000) and Just One Look (2003). What is the connection between these two horses? (Clue is in the names – it has nothing to do with horse racing).
Mutawaffer represents our list to follow in the 3.50. He hasn’t won since September ’03 but recent runs have been quite encouraging and the stable are in good form.
Moving on to Epsom, The Old Fella is likely to be odds on in the 6.45. Tudor Prince might be the best one to oppose the favourite There are some interesting newcomers in the 6.30 at Newbury. Buckie Massa, Chataway and Xaaretta all look likely 2 year old types. Tracer was a beaten favourite on his only start to date and will probably come on for that run. He is a half brother to Just One Look who was mentioned earlier.
Roman Quest has been one of the most successful runners from the list to follow, scoring at 6/1 and 9/1. He carries a 6 lbs penalty for his last win in the 8.45 at Newbury.
At Yarmouth Godolphin have a first time out 2 year old in the opener at 2.30. Mizzle is their first juvenile runner of the season and it will be interesting to see how she goes, especially as the stable remain rather under the weather.
The 4.30 looks a winning opportunity for Alasoun from our list to follow. I will slip in a second quiz question here. Alf Tupper runs in this race. What was the nickname of the original Alf Tupper?
That will do for tonight. See you tomorrow.
