A fantastic end to the week for us on Saturday with Hulcote Rose, our heaviest bet in quite a while, stylishly landed us 32.5pts profit under George Baker, after a frustrating week. As I said, I never worry about little losig runs because the cookie can't always crumble our way - our staking and value approach will always see us ahead in the long run. After Scamperdale at 30/1 and The Meehan 3yo at 9/1 trading 1.25 and 1.37 respectively within the week, we deserved that success.
One bet for today.
6.10 Windsor Parc Des Princes 3pts each-way @ 8/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Parc Des Princes has looked a slowly progressive horse for Andrew Balding and he really came of age with an impressive victory at Lingfield last backend. Well supported for that 12f handicap, he sat out the back off a very slow pace and travelled into the race with supreme ease, displaying a wicked turn of foot to put significant distance between himself and the now OR72 second placed horse and win impressivey.
It's hard to tell what he acheived off a mark in the mid 60's beating a moderate bunch of horses, but the turn of foot was very taking, even moreso from off that slow pace. I think this could be an OR90 horse in time if he keeps progressive like he has, which puts him in with every chance off 72 tonight. The excellent David Probert takes the ride again and the likely strong pace to this contest will suit him all the better. 8/1 looks a big price and although fitness is taken on trust, the stable are in excellent form and have most of their horses ready first time up.
