Horses To Follow - Betfair Park 9 June 2010

The horses which caught my eye at Betfair Park Hillside on this wet and dreary day were:


Race 2: Goleen Handicap (1700m)

Having just her second race start and rising almost 400m on her debut outing Gothic Paris was probably wondering where on earth the finishing line was!

Her run was superb, many experienced mud-larks found it difficult to make ground on the bottomless track - many even trotting over the line furlongs behind the winners.

This young girl has some upside.


Cheronbutch Gets ClearRace 6: Betfair Handicap (1400m)

Cheronbutch was the run of the day a fortnight ago at the Lakeside circuit and didn't disappoint at the Hillside circuit today.

Couldn't win anywhere but the line and yet still won by more than a length. 

This horse just keeps getting better and has a few very important traits when it comes to winning listed races... which are on the horizon next time in.


Race 8: Nunkalowe Handicap (1400m)

History repeated itself in the last of the day as Ghostmilk blitzed her rivals scoring by a handful of lengths and spacing the majority, almost a year to the day of her last win.

Ghostmilk didn't kick on following her superb Sandown swimming effort in 2009 so will 2010 be any different? I think so.

Back her next time out on a heavy track.
