His one drawback is his racing style. That for me is the one problem, so I would'nt be taking too short a price.
It's all good stuff.
Good Punting.

That's a fair synopsis, what put him down in the ratings with me was the low API and last run prizemoney compared to the rest of the runners. That's not to say he's not a capable type, but I don't like digging too far back into a horse's past.
It's all academic anyway, as they'll probably run the quinella now and we won't be on it  |
