Talking from my pocket - but imo horses like Valencia should be banned for inconsistent running - last time (just more than 3 weeks ago) returned with a 'severe respiratory noise' - granted the form before that was not too bad - but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Re: Gauteng racing 15 January 2022
3 years 5 months agoEvery one will have their own opinion - to me, she was always up against it today over a trip that is now imo much too short - also not sure that they would have wanted her too fresh with the MET coming up in 2 weeks - so I think this was treated as a gallop; in the MET she will be very well weighted, so not one to be ignored imo; the only caveat being that she may not be 100% sound and that they may decide to not take the trip after all - but as a prep, I don't think there was too much wrong with the run
Well, let's hope they take her to the Met.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

It was heavily supported last time. The 4kgs made a difference. Was still up against it. 21st run in a Merit 78 handicap with a 61 rating was a put off though.

The 9 shifted ground when challenged by the 2 thus impacting that horse's chances...the 10 had a largely clear run as the 9 tired...
Had the 9 kept straight, the 9 or 2 would have won and not the 10...just my opinion...
