Fairview and Greyville Friday

Discuss the cards below

What is amazing is how brittle most relationships are in racing-even the mutually beneficial ones.

It was a good team while it lasted.

DORRIE SHAM:
Race 2 – CARAMITO (13): I would have preferred the debut run to be over 1000m but she will be very green – a very nice filly but will need the experience.

DUNCAN MCKENZIE:
Race 2 – WATERBABY (18): Is scratched.

this may sound like a very stupid question to those who know far more than i will ever know about horses but how can you tell if a horse is going to run green prior to it actually running in a race. Serious question.

41 views since i asked the question. So either everybody is like me and does not know or they just cant be bothered to answer my question.

CnC from my knowledge of greenness is that the horse is not fully fit (wound up) for the race. This is when the trainer wants to stay in the good books of the owner. :lol:

Nevertheless the horse is not "ready to race" as it is been put "through the paces" and the trainer feels that the horse will be "distracted" etc.

Gareth for Bubbly/Bumbly Barnard. All the best youngster.

villa del largo only bet at Fairview

CnC, its the trainers way of saying the horse needs more time and is not ready to run, but will run just to confuse you, at the same time gathering more experience, to confuse you even more next time it runs green. Now Im confused, sorry bud I tried.
