Some decent racing today but I can’t find anything of real value and so will keep my powder dry. Sir Michael Stoute unleashed a useful type, the beautifully bred, PETERHOF who, in keeping with the better juveniles in the Barbadian’s care, at this stage of the season, was a winner first time out on the all-weather at Lingfield Park. A Derby entry, he will probably be among the yard’s best 3-year old’s next season.

Half an hour later, an even more impressive juvenile, this time from the Godolphin operation, CLASSIC COLLECTION was a facile 6-length winner and oozed class throughout. Keep an eye out for this one as he progresses.

Sir Mark Prescott’s ALBA VERDE surely has the absolute modus operandi of a horse from the yard. Owned by Kirsten Rausing, a winner last twice, so progressive, entered in 5 days time in a similar contest. Regrettably though such forensic information adds up to a short-price and I’m sure anyone who has even micro-knowledge of the subject will be able to pick this one out. Selecting such horses is not the MO of this blog now or in the future.
