A late post today. The biggest race for three year old colts today at York was the Dante Stakes, a Group 2 over 10f. This is usually one of the main Derby trials of the year. Too Darn Hot was short priced favourite to win, his first run of 2019, plus his first try over 10f. He ran a good race, Telecaster the winner has only had the two runs prior to his step into Group class today. He stayed on well to win by about a length from Too Darn Hot, who was given a bit to do by his jockey. If they meet again over 10f, I think I would back Too Darn Hot.
With regard to Too Darn Hot heading for the Epsom Derby, I would not be backing him, I have never been convinced he will get the 12f, if he was mine, he would be prepared for a crack at the St James’s Palace Stakes over 8f at the Royal Ascot meeting in June.
I will try and put a post out tomorrow morning with something worth a bit of interest.
