Stat of the Day, 7th May 2013

Duke of Destiny ran well enough yesterday at 6/1, but could only manage 4th place. If I’m being critical, I’d say that he was possibly held up a little too long before being switched inside for a challenge late on. He was fairly flying at the death and although I’m not sure if he’d have won with an earlier dash for the line, I think he could have been closer.

However, it’s still a loss either way and so we look to make amends with a trip to Sunny Devon for a Class 3 Handicap Chase. The ground is pretty hard after the dry spell (good to firm, firm in parts) and just 5 runners are set to line up to tackle 2 miles 3.5 furlongs in the…

He’ll appreciate the quicker ground and the drop back in trip today (he’s 1/1 over today’s distance) and has won one and placed once from two starts on good to firm ground.

The jockey/trainer record here allied to the fact there’s only 5 runners means we’re not getting rich today, but I think that 9/4 BOG (generally) is a fair price for Sew On Target, so I’m having a 1pt win bet with Paddy Power, but if you’re funds are elsewhere, simply…
