Insider 3,954 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 Now on course. Sun beaming down. 24 degrees and a nice breeze. There was 1.5 mm overnight, prior to 7.00 this morning and there has been none since and in my opinion there won’t be any more. With the sun and the nice breeze the track will be perfect and possibly be a Good 3 by Telegraph time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 Then Kawi is over the odds. With only a 6kg spread over the field, this race is at the mercy of Kawi. I've never backed him in a race - but I'm tempted today at $7 the was once a spread of 10kg but it's a different race with the closeness in the weights / to the advantage of a multiple G1 winner. He's a weight certainty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,839 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 No hope of being Good 3 ! Several jockeys have walked the track and it is Dead 4/5. Will probably dry a bit, but grass is long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Telegraph run a full second slower than prediction and slow times today with Rogie saying the track beat Ferrando (he needs a good track he said). Awaiting the Stewards Report. Horses not performing today with a number tailed off. However it looked a great day out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike28 182 Report post Posted January 20, 2018 i feel there was a little front runners bias today most races were won from the front not usually the case at trentham or was it more tempo related Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut 3,152 Report post Posted January 20, 2018 I think it was all about jockeys putting their horses into the race prior to the turn and having them challenging the leading bunch, that seemed to be the answer today because the inside was in pretty good nick .. they could still make ground down the middle of the track or three out, if they were good enough .. Stolen Dance was proof of that and Magic Chai to an extent along with Kawi with his finishing burst, but you are right, no Castletown type finishes today kind of sad .. a bit of the Trentham Charm that.
