The Festival Graded race results will be written up in due course, after a little break. Have to decide how to frame the write-ups best with regards to the future & next season.
The highlight was the Wednesday with the Neptune 1-2 and the RSA 1-3 and a 100/1 double.
There were two heart-breaking falls and some near misses in terms of decision-making. Strategy was good overall and possible improvements already apparent. The two falls were (from memory) 4 out and 3 out in their respective races and represented potential earnings (via otherwise accurate multi's) of £5.5k and £7k had they stood up and won - part of the never ending 'what ifs' of racing. Some fault with that scenario has also been identified.
Excluding the wonderful Quevega and Sprinter Sacre:
Graded race form figures based on main fancy/winning: 21F110102BF
Graded race form figures based on best result: 21211013B3
Via BST there were Handicap winners at 25/1 (Rajdhani Express) and 16/1 (Salubrious). A lot of the other handicaps looked difficult as usual and held little interest.
##
Luis Suarez was a 16/1 shot at the start of the season (blogged sometime pre-season) when seen in the main as a) a Liverpool player (negatively) and b) a suspect finisher. He is now 8/15. He is three ahead of Robin Van Persie at the time of writing (22-19) who, although in a mini-slump, will no doubt be fed a whole host of chances in a bid to overhaul the Liverpool player. Fingers are crossed that Luis continues to do what he has done so far!
