Hi everyone
rarely put horses up as it always seems to give them the kiss of death but today i thought i would send some love to this much in need of a decent winner thread.
820 Lingfield - Misstemper - currently trading around 14s
Some history - Ive been following this one since day 1 as i know the owner whom has been a family friend for decades. The horse is temperamental being a filly that likes things her own way but she definitely has the ability to win off this mark today. We finally have a decent in form strong jockey booked. She needs strong handling as soon as the gates open. She will respond to pressure and hates being passed and will try to find more if pressured enough. Her best run imo was at this track trip when not far behind a listed class horse rated some 36 pounds higher.
Poor runs - Its been a learning curve and there have been several factors for some terrible runs to be frank. One time on a trip to kempton the horse box broke down and she was sat on the motorway for 3 hours and got extremely fractious in her box. Some weak apprentice jockey bookings have not been the best ideas either. She hates turf especially soft going conditions. Most importantly of all she recently had a breathing operation some 2 months ago which has definitely made a huge impact on her. The two terrible runs in April were put down to her needing the op.
I feel todays the day , the draw could of been kinder but its not terrible. Shes almost certainly on a winning mark on a track/ surface that will suit so much better. There are a few in the race that look on fair enough marks but i feel our mark is way below where it should be. Im convinced she will go close today but i am pot committed now so to speak.
Fwiw im on win only as ive done enough money backing this one ew before and its not the best idea if we want more on especially so as i think she will win
GL !
