Strange race to watch back. With hindsight, I probably didn’t give this race (or division) enough time through the season. I was pretty confident Paisley Park was clear of anything in the race, I didn’t expect any horse to reverse the form and didn’t really rate any of the new challengers being good enough.
I don’t recall any excuses for Paisley Park and watching it back, he has every chance. It’s not like something went horribly wrong that I can pick out, he just didn’t power on like he has in previous 5 races. Just checked and “trainers rep could offer no explanation for the poor performance other than the gelding lost its left-fore and right-hind shoes” – to be honest I’m willing to forgive the run and the double figures that were available for him are now all gone and he’s into 7/1 fav. Not a price I’d take now they’ve got the winner of the race at 16/1 in Lisnager Oscar. The problem I have is the Cleeve Hurdle result where Paisley Park was superior sticks out too much for me to take. It’s probably a bit of a disrespectful price and he shouldn’t be 16/1 to follow up, but I can’t bring myself to take that price.
Lisnager Oscar was prominent behind the leaders all the way through, but he’s leading at the turn and 1L ahead of Ronald Pump. At the end of that straight he’s still leading and 2L ahead of Ronald Pump so it’s very hard to crab that performance. Bacardys cruised into the race like he was going to win it before flattening out, then running on again which was an odd kind of run. Emitom and Summerville Boy were 4th and 5th but I’d be hard pressed to fancy them agan.
The race as a whole was a bit disappointing and watching back I feel the same. The run of Apple’s Jade was crazy and essentially they've just ignored her, it added something to the race at the time because on her best day they’d given her waaay too much rope but when you watch it back knowing she fades the race is just disappointing as no horses get to one of the ‘outsiders’.Comment
