Re: Horses To Look Out For on Trails Day 3
I have pretty low expectations all round since I have only really just gotten into the game and really only done one round of exports and trials. Not expecting to hold onto my Jumps crown
My Jump entries as follows:
Auteuil - Heavy
Race 7 2m Juvenile Hurdle 4yo
1st – Adventure - Australian bred flat horse with really decent flat lineage, took too hurdles well. I expect her to set the pace and with her flat speed in the final 2f nothing much catches her in trials. Ground is a worry as she is flat bred for firm.
2nd - Silverglas Ratagan - My second string, and not a long way off the pace, comes late so in trial does not often catch his stable mate adventure, but will be better suited by the ground. Has produced a lot of horses in this trial.
Race 8 2m 4f Hurdle 5UP
1st – The Broken Hearted - Stand out at trial, tends to run just off the leading group and pushes on late, hope for a good showing else it is back to the drawing board.
2nd – Dallas Tower - 2nd string and a fair way off her stablemate above.
Race 9 3m 5f Chase 5UP
1st – Think its All Over - One from my irish barn, which was largely outgunned by my UK stable in trial, but he is by far the best distance horse I have produced so far. Mid tier runner late challenge, front runs on occasion.
2nd – Sweet Folly - 2nd string also from ireland and a fair bit off the pace, has the potential to upset her stablemate but does not happen often.
Cheltenham - Soft
Race 10 2m Chase
1st – Mahadee Piping - Nothing much to split two of three of my horses at this distance and this one has had a hand in a lot of breeding, ranges up to 2.4m and will typically set the pace at the front.
2nd - Labroc - Irish horse who comes late with a good turn of speed, very little between him and Mahadee above.
Race 11 2m 5f Chase
1st – Micheal Been - The most consistent of my 2.4m chasers but there are a lot who trial about the same, runs just off the leading group usually though hard to tell as my barn is full of front running types.
2nd – Dusty Parson - 2nd string, uber fast but disappointed in trial, not very consistent, on his day beats everything on speed alone.
Race 12 3m Hurdle
1st – Rage In A Cage - Stand out of my 3m hurdlers but there are a few who are not far off the pace. Would like to see him at least be competative.
2nd – Truffle Piggy - Mud lark, likely my 3rd or 4th best, here for the ground more than anything else.
May get some flat horses done today.
