He Only two races left at Chelmsford this evening.  The last race just ran at 7.20  was won by Royal Birth, who was given a soft lead over the 5f race.  His young rider Marco Ghiani managed to ride an astute race to win, as it was virtually impossible for his rivals to win, as they gifted the race to the apprentice rider.  It’s hard to win from behind off slow fractions, as the horses ridden prominently, especially the horse making the running have a massive advantage, as was the case here. It amazes me how some jockeys on horses that like to come from behind, ride the same race, no matter what the pace of the race is being ran at.  The favourite Harry’s Bar was given a mountain to climb by his jockey George Wood, it hasn’t been George’s night, as he didn’t shine on Silver Samurai 5.50, as I think he should of won as well.

A lot of analysis about the St Leger on the Racing channels today.  The final classic for three year olds on Saturday at Doncaster looks between Logician and Sir Dragonet.  The unbeaten Logician heads the betting, and deserves to be at the head of the market, he has improved with every run so far, and I think he will be hard to beat.  If I was looking for something to back each way, Technician At 12/1 would be my choice.

More tomorrow.
