Where do you glean 12 lengths from?


Foolish ran 4th, 1.4 lengths away, in a strong Eagle Farm open 2yo event. The best run I can see from the rest is Latin Idol's 3nd beaten 5.5 len in an Ipswich maiden. On my ratings there's at least 12 lengths difference between those two runs.

I wouldn't be quick to knock the Toowoomba win either - he did beat 15 others that day.

Further, in terms of speed over the last 600m, look at the runs of horses 4 to 7 inclusive: they all drop off over shorter distances than tomorrow's 1350m.

Anyway...on my ratings Foolish is one of the best 2yos in Brisbane and far too good for these.
