3 year old are 4 to 6 pounds superior in VDJ

According to Mr Vee Moodley, he stated catogorigly that the 3 year old crop this year is 4 to 6 pounds under rated and they will dominate the July field as well as the other races , he gave his banker for the P6 in the 8th race captain courteous and Fourie gave the confidence for this ride , :evil:

Was he not was lyrical about 3yr old on July day last year as well? Could be wrong, but got a vague memory of it.

Question, since the introduction of merit ratings, has any three year olds won the VDJ? Guess if you keep saying that a three year old will win the VDJ, you going to be correct at some point.

Roughly 50% success rate in the past 15 years

The cap on the weight generally helps the class 3yos even if the handicapper has got over-excited. Abashiri would quite possibly have won if they hadn’t pulled the move with scratching Legal Eagle which caused Aba to carry 59 instead of 56.
Occasionally the best older horse wins despite top weight eg. Pocket Power; Marinaresco
Often there is at least one older horse that is underrated eg Power King, Conglomerate which allows a well handicapped but inferior older horse to win.
This year we have African Night Sky that is patently well in at the weights. There is also Matador Man on earlier form over shorter, although I don’t think he is trip suited.
The 3 yo’s have a lot of depth this year, and have put up some excellent performances against the older horses. Any one of them can improve dramatically and then could win, despite being out at the weights on exposed form with ANS.
I backed ANS a month ago at 8/1 and 7/1. He is the most likely winner, and the current 3/1 is probably fair but not exciting. If he doesn’t win, then this July is very,very wide open and I will be taking one p6 with ANS a banker, and one with the field.

Everyone has an opinion and I respect that, remember "who has the last laugh" . I just wanted to share information that was shared last night, use it lose it . There is one person that I hold in high regard for his analysis of horses it's Vee.

Avataar , firstly thank you for sharing your information it is appreciated and i also respect everyone's right to an opinion , waiting for the egg on my face when the horse wins but horse is not for me

Hehehe CP, you're my kinda guy! And funny enough, I also end up with Egg on my face more often than not. Doesn't bother me though coz I love omelette.

I dont see how the 3 year olds are top crop this year. The Daily news were both dominated by 2 JHB performers, who both contested the TRIPLE crown which none of them actually won a single leg off. Both always fancied for every leg of the triple crown.

Dont get me wrong, I am a huge Surchage supporter and next year we are going to see the best of him. I cant however have any of the CT 3 year olds this year.

PS: I take my omlette with mushroom and a hint of pepper.
