2023 Pertemps Final

[Benjy23]

Not sure I can take the heartache of Remastered not running again.

He was balloted out last year off 133 I believe? This year there'll be even less qualified by the sounds of it, and he's 8lb higher. Think he'd be almost certain to get in. I'm guessing it's the intention again, with him having qualified.

Been my only handicap bet so far. Think he's a fairly nice each way bet.

Although something could well emerge from the Irish qualifiers that's far less exposed of course.

Oi Oi
only problem is he might have won too easily

Needed to win well to get a decent weight rise to get in the race, IMO.

[Lobos]

Might have to go for the Stayers after that !! Flooring improved dramatically so why not??!! Sure to be priced up for it.

He needed to win to get in - think the plot was 2nd & job done in qualifying!

Maybe if he wins another handicap like that off his new mark which will surely be 135-140

His old trainer must be feeling pretty sheepish right now, unless this was the plan all along and his job was to make the horse look as bad as possible before the stable switch.

Feeling a bit smug as I requested him for this with PP at 25s a few weeks back

I don’t think anything that’s won a qualifier has ever won the final - I’d be surprised if there isn’t something better handicapped on the day once the handicapper’s had his say & the UK handicapper adds on his tax!

….Maxxum was 40-1 to win today & the Final. According to Saxon’s Planner, the race has produced a few Final winners but only Cuneo has won it & placed in March.

I think that stat is weakened this year, as the first four home element makes it much harder to sneak one in.
I've definitely ignored that this season.

Agree. Pretty much gone out the window now. Spoiled the race for punters.

Agree it makes it harder but I’d be gobsmacked if a trainer had one rated high enough to get in was trying to win a qualifier - imo

Didn't Fingal Bay win a qualifier before he won the Pertemps?

He did indeed

[Joeski29]

Maxxum probably had to win to have a chance of getting in doesn’t he?
