Decent advantage to anything on the rail and then with the slow tempo too... The first two home make the top 4 from any gate imo. The rest, who knows. I was surprised there was not a second or third wave pushing on at the start to find the rail. I think Frankie was out there 3 wide holding them all up ....... richie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insider 3,954 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 I thought that the field was full of aged (old fashioned term) gallopers so I went for the three year old with a little bit of Classic form and proven ability to beat the older horses too when asked to. So I got lucky this time at 17’s! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
