Saturday 5/6/10

My trainer in focus vote today yet again goes to Sir Mark Prescott who has been very successful of late. He was had 8 winners from his last 15 runners and interestingle only has the one runner today , Fortuni , who runs in the 4:45.

My race trace today goes in the 1:40 Epsom. Sir Michael Stoute has won the Investec Vincent O' Brien Handicap 3 times in the past 9 years m a 33% win strike-rate. He runs Verdant today and it has a good chance , the statistic is worth noting.

My jockey/trainer combination today goes to W Lordan/TJ O' Mara. When Lordan teams up with O' Mara at Tramore he is 2/3 , a 67% win strike rate and with a profit of +25.00 to level stakes in those 3 runs , it is of high interest. They team up today with The Pott Riedy in the 5:15 and has an e/w chance , the stat is certainly worth noting.

My only bet today comes in the Derby , 4:00 Epsom , REWILDING. I was in the Bullet Train fan base up until 2 days ago as when i watched Rewilding's last run , i found it extremely impressive. Also another reason for changing from Cecil's horse is the stable does not seem to be firing the past week or so , Aviate ran a poor race yesterday as did Timepiece. Rewilding is a half-brother to several high-class middle-distance horses , including Dar Re Mi. It destroyed the field on its last outing over 1 mile 3 furlongs in a Listed event at Goodwood and is still lightly raced. A very interesting statistic is that when Frankie Dettori has rode for Mahmood Al Zarooni this year he is 4/5 , with a superb 80% win strike-rate , i find this a significant stat. I feel this horse is sure to be fighting out the finish.
