Just watching the Racing Tv channel. James Willoughby has just been making a valid point about race times being important, I agree that they are. Willoughby was making a point about Visinari , who runs at 2.25 Goodwood. When this horse won on his debut, he clocked a very fast time. Made favourite for his next run at Newmarket, which was a step up in grade, some people were disappointed to see him finish third that day, but he was beaten only a short head and a head, so it was a good run. What I will say about this horse is, when he won on his debut, I was at the races. On looking at him in the paddock, before the race, I marked him down as tall, leggy and still unfurnished. So I was a bit surprised to see him clock such a fast time, and win so easily. I think that he is a good horse, but still weak, and will not be surprised if he gets beat again today. It’s a hot race, and a few rivals, could well be a bit more mature, than Visinari is, at the moment.
On to the other races. At Perth 6.15, Nietzsche has an excellent chance of winning again, a previous winner at the track, he has found another good opportunity.
At Yarmouth this afternoon, Royal Residence 4.00 has a decent chance of upsetting the favourite Majaalis. If any rain arrives, it will help the James Tate trained colt. At Galway in Ireland, Fast Buck will be hard to beat at 5.20.
More later.
