I can't wait to go and pick up my Racing Post on a cold, dreary winter morning able to look forward to seeing the top NH horses. Flat racing is too much about 'racing politics' and money.
Bit of caution for me with Workforce....
Workforce is far from the banker people are suggesting. He may win handsomely, but I'd rather see what Stoute has to say first. Look at the Oaks and Derby races, lots of horses will have came away from Epsom very sore after running on that ground, with many going on to run lacklustre races since - although Snow Fairy has already shown some are fine on it. But it was the sort of ground that could see a horse hit the wall next time out and possibly even taking months to recover from. Gallop reports are well and good, but we will only truly know if Workforce is A1 when Ryan Moore pulls the trigger tomorrow.
As much as I really do like Harbinger, stepping up to the top level for the first time and giving nearly a stone to Cape Blanco and Workforce may prove too much. Its a real poser of a race.
Workforce has had more of a break from its last race then any of the others in this one.
If its as good as we all think it is that when Moore pulls the trigger tomorrow you will be lucky to get 1.1 on betfair
