A good winner yesterday for my subscribers. Order Of Australia 2.10 Curragh made virtually all the running to score at 2/1 under Ryan Moore. With the recent dry hot weather I would advise looking at horses at lower prices whilst the ground remains on the faster side. At Ayr today, Vintager 3.20 is a consistent performer, he acts on pretty much all ground conditions. He won last time at Windsor under today’s rider Mark Crehan , who claims a handy 3lbs off his back. He is worth backing at around 11/4 in what is a really tricky race, currently a bit of value in the betting.
Mark Crehan has been in the news at the weekend, he received a 28 day ban for his error at Doncaster on Saturday, misjudging the half furlong marker for the winning post, he eased up his horse Aerion Power when about to win. It was really unfortunate to see a rallying Colony Queen get up to win. Crehan looked devastated for his mistake, as he realised what he had done, it’s something that there is no excuse for really, but he will learn from it and remember to try to always ride a few strides past the winning post before easing up in future I’m sure.
More soon.
