Master of my Fate

Saturday's Politician stakes was a good example of the effect differing pace can have on the result...............the horses that finished like trains in the guineas off a fast pace did not feature because of the crawl in the Politician.
It is probably fair to say that the winner of the guineas would have battled to place on Saturday, considering the manner of his win!
Always dangerous to back horses in CT that need a strong pace!

it amazes me that in this country the big yards dont have pacemakers in feature races and if you havent got one go and buy one :S

guys i tried taken the times by my own stopwatch and here is the times from when the gates crash upto they hit the post.

race 6 - 1,49,79
race 7 - 1,52,65
race 8 - 1,48,81

on these hand taken times bb would have killed the colts after giving them lots of weight

hope it helps madji and shrek

The question is will BB run?

Thanks ZIets (tu)

I just don't know if she at her best over 2000 meters.

Good call Pirates it would make a huge difference, knowing if Beach Beauty is a runner.

1.48,81 would make BB six lengths ahead of Momf:

Think it was the Woolavington. Beat Ilha de Vitoria quite a few times as a three year old

Beach Beauty is running in the Majorca (old news) www.goldcircle.co.za/news/Trainers/today.shtml

its a pity she is not in the met ! Off 57,5kg's she would have made them gallop !!
