MET Final Declaration 11:00 Monday 21 January 2013

King Of Pain Met instead of Derby?

No de Kock's - oops as mentioned above

Looking at this, I think the 3yo is going to have them.

What was Capetown Noir thinking?
He would be joint favourite. Maybe even favourite, he doesn't need excuses.

Silly in my opinion Mr H. They must really be afraid of Cape Town Noir hey!

Tribal Dance is still there. Not going for the Reserves instead.

Capetown Noir is a million rand horse going to a R600,000 fight. I don't think King Of pain was afraid of Capetown, though they must think it's a hoot that CTN didn't even nominate to see.

3yo's have never had it this good in the Met. In the past 100 years, only 2 3yo's have won. In the next 10 years, five 3yo's will win.

Last year in the Queen's Plate, two 3yo's ran, 1st and 2nd
In the Met two 3yo's, 3rd and 6th, both within 1.95 of mighty Igugu.
There no mighty anything this year.

Will KING OF PAIN see out the 2000m?

I really like Jackson, Pomodoro, Beach Beauty and Slumdog. These are my initial quartet horses

Here are the final declarations for the big feature races on Met Day:

Final Declarations - Met Day Feature Races

No De Kock or Bass in the J&B Met and no Variety Club

Some of these horses in the Met really have NO chance imo

Draws?
