A cracking days racing today.  At Newmarket the big race is the 2000 Guineas at 3.05, it is one of the most open classics for many years.  I have mentioned that I am unsure of current favourite Ten Sovereigns staying the 1 Mile, his dam did win over 10f, so she did have a bit of stamina, maybe that is why Ryan Moore has decided that he has a chance of getting the trip.  He just looked like a sprinter to me last year, his Sire was a very fast horse, speed to burn.  Top class horses have speed, it doesn’t matter what trip they run over 5f-2 miles, they all have a speed, it is finding their optimum trip, this is the trainers job, a lot has to do with pedigree.

When I worked for Godolphin, the best horse I had anything to do with was Dubai Millenium, he was an absolute machine, he only got beat once, over 12f in the Derby at Epsom, he just did not stay, he would of won a group 1 from 6f – 10f, he had so much speed, so if Ten Sovereigns is as good as him, he will win !

I have a few pounds each way on Madhmoon at 20/1, hopefully he can run a big race.  It will be a really good race to watch, I think Magna Grecia is probably the horse that they all have to beat, I have already backed him each way at 14/1 for the Epsom Derby, so hopefully he can run a good race, as this race will give a lot of clues to the next colts three year old classic in June.  Looking at he rest of the race meetings today,  at Goodwood – Awesometank returns to the track, she improved all year in 2018.  She is the one to beat in the 3.45, of rivals, Anna Nerium never went at any stage in her recent run on the all weather surface at Kempton, she is much better than that run, I expect her to run a much better race, although she may be better over 7f, than today’s 1 Mile.

I really like the look of today’s cards, a lot of horses I am probably going to back !
