Because horses do not run on paper!!!!.....would never have given it a 2nd glance either but I spent 3 days in the company of the owner
he is passionate man, mad about the game and has confidence in his trainers. He was told horse was working very well and I included it in
my play.....well done Eddie a well deserved win. Pity I went out of P6 in the last. Jackpot a small consolation.

Muhtiman, I agree horse do not run on paper and congratulations to the owner and trainer, but unfortunately for Aurum this is a plated race and doesn't have a maximum 8 point penalty. Based on lines with the second and third horse Aurum could be running off a merit rating around 80 in her next start. If she has made the improvement from a 60 to an 80 it won't be a problem for her to be competitive.

We always talk about placing horses well, has this happened with Aurum. She is a horse that comes with a timed late run and would never win by huge margins. If she was run in a handicap and won by a lenght she would probably go up to a 64 winning next time out go to a 68. Aurum could have had 4 or 5 wins before hitting the mark she will run off now for only 1 win. If my horse would be heavily under sufference in a plated race I would not be happy with my trainer for running it in the race as even if the horse runs third or fourth will incur a penaly.

shrek as far as i understand aurum can only be penalised a maximun of 6 points for her win yesterday...maybe magic rob or golden boy maree can enlighten me if im incorrect

You are spot on, Pirates. If that was no flash in the pan she would (at least in theory) be very well in if she races in a handicap next time out. Not that races are run on paper - using similar logic Magnanimous on his last run should have won by a street yesterday.
