Horse does need a middle distance and its noticeable that stable unraced 3 year old's are needing their first run this season Lets see if Boudot is a bit more animated tomorrow on Western Soldier [2.45 Saint-Cloud] Best odds so far are the 6-1 with Bet 365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Very good effort to finish 4th @ 20-1 after losing a few lengths when missing the break, and as suspected will need a staying trip before he shows off his obvious potential in full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dutch them, you get around 1/3, which I simply won't do. If I had to choose, just based on form, I would go with Derab, as that form line through La Barrosa looks solid. The problem is at this time of the year is to know which one is the most forward. The sensible thing is to watch and evaluate. But the undisciplined degenerate gambler I am, means I will probably back Derab!. ? Striker and MCLARKE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was always being run off his feet before staying on in the straight, and would certainly have placed if the jockey had been a bit more hard on the horse but he knew the front two were gone so let him come home on his own stride. However the colt looks a nice stayer in the making and this run was another positive lesson in his education gbettle, yossa6133 and black rabbit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only beaten a neck, but again the race was lost with a sluggish break from the stalls and then in first half of the race never really in a good position and also running green. Did come to challenge the more experienced winner stylishly ,but run petered out close home when for me the energy levels used after the slow start emptied But first two came clear, and I would be surprised if the Godolphin horse confirmed this form if they met again Le Nomade runs tomorrow (3.05) Trainer said recently that the horse has a nice future, but might need to be gelded...so last run possibly tomorrow as a man!

This post relates to Flyin' Solo, I believe. That being the case I think you might be mixing the races up. Admittedly I have not watched the race since it won, but I have referred to my notes and dodgy memory.This was an easy winner that won with something in hand, making smooth progress from 3f out, leading inside the final furlong. It certainly didnt look like it was NOT going well at ANY stage of the race. Am I right, or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
