Hawwaam 121 56 max 57 for a 3yo, 2 kg WFA
All the 3yo colts rated below 115 will be under sufferance as min is 53kg.
An interesting one is Oh Susanna, now 118 will carry 56.5
I really doubt that OS will go for the July (although there does not seem to be many other options for her) - imo she was over-rated after her Met win and should be at most 110 - is she was mine I would retire her now before she blots her copybook any further :ohmy:
Bear in mind that she was cut into badly in this year’s Met, and was clearly in need of the run (and 1600m is too short for her) in the Empress Cub.
Ignoring ratings, I think it’s significant that she beat Marinaresco and Last Winter at WFA less sex allowance in her Met, and will meet Do it Again and Rainbow Bridge in the July on just about the same terms. I think that the two she beat in the Met and the two top weights in the July rankings are pretty similar in ability over 2000, so that certainly brings her in with a shout if she comes back to best. Presumably she will retire to stud this year, so nothing to lose to try the July. I’ve had a tickle at 50/1.
