Well well, a full house yesterday! The godolphin horse hosed up after a monster gamble on the eventual favourite went astray, love it. Also, Tapis Libre did us proud, you can’t fault his work rate, getting up in the dying strides over the well supported favourite Sky Kahn.
Today i’m going to stay loyal to a horse in form as usual.
Red Baron 3:50 Haydock 4/1 Willaim Hill
This should really be an each way bet to nothing. Before racking up a double, Red Baron finished 2nd in his previous 5 starts, an each way backers dream. He’s up 7lbs for his last win, but the jockey claims 3, which is a help. Two runs back he got the better of todays 2nd favourite Imperial Legend easily enough and should have a great chance of getting the hattrick today on everything we know.
There are some useful sorts in this race however, another hattirck seeker in Sleepy Blue Ocean and the fairly consistant Six Wives. So i doubt it’ll be plain sailing, although i am more than happy to put this up as one of the main bets for today, each way.
Fossola 3:35 Nottingham 9/4 William Hill
This is madness! I am tipping up a horse that has never raced. Why? Godolphin are quite literally on fire. This half sister to Dubai World Cup winner Moterosso is greatly respected on debut. Godolphin are really good at preparing a horse to win on debut, as shown countless times over the last month or so especially. Bonanza Creek is the obvious danger. Luca Cumani’s horse is well bred, and finished 4th on debut, there could easily be more to come from her. I will however stick with Fossola for small stakes, mainly to watch the race to see how well she runs, if she hoses up she could be a juicy notebook horse, along with so many of Godolphins 2 year olds.
