Grandads Horses finished a honourable second at Doncaster
this afternoon.
Always close to the pace, he just couldn’t reel back the
enterprisingly ridden Saint Are.
I
can have few complaints: he had every chance if good enough – he just bumped
into one a bit better on the day.
We’ve not had many second places recently – so maybe we
were due one…
In
the previous race, Fingerontheswitch performed like the near certainty that I
originally thought he was.
Settled in midfield, he easily made up his ground –
pounced between the final two flights and had plenty left in the tank when
challenged.
It
was the price that put me off – but as we see day in, day out, a short price is no barrier to success
!
Neither of the potential big dangers, Fort Worth or
Nightline, were particularly well backed – whilst Fingerontheswitch remained
strong in the betting.
The
result was therefore not a huge surprise.
On
to tomorrow, then…
TVB.
