Gee, sometimes horses can make you look like a fool. Actually, it can happen quite often now that I think about it. On Saturday I was prepared to say that I Am Invincible was not all that well named but it looked like he is better than I first thought. After clearly missing the start he ambled to the lead and fought like a lion when in all probability he should have weakened a lot quicker than he did.

Gee, sometimes horses can make you look like a fool. Actually, it can happen quite often now that I think about it. On Saturday I was prepared to say that I Am Invincible was not all that well named but it looked like he is better than I first thought. After clearly missing the start he ambled to the lead and fought like a lion when in all probability he should have weakened a lot quicker than he did. The sectionals showed he had enough in the last 200m and in two more bounds Gran Sasso is the winner but in all fairness GS was much, much fitter. The future of I Am Invincible could in the USA if all we heard over the weekend comes to fruition but first we will have the pleasure of seeing him strut his stuff for a little while yet.I hope he lives up to his name. I have no problem being proved wrong by a top horse and he at least showed on Saturday he has a bit of guts and they are the horses we need to be backing.

The horse I am going to put in my Spring Stable is Global Warming. I thought his run was just dandy for a horse out of his depth though some punters thought he had a good chance as he was backed from 20/1 into 16/1. There must be a race around for him especially for the place at good odds. He ran home the best last 200m just marginally ahead of Gran Sasso and that horse looks like a Group race such as the Bobbie Lewis is within his grasp.

I am a bit under the pump right now as I need to pack in readiness for my first Darwin trip so I had better start moving. There will be no podcast or blog this weekend: I just won't have the time and it is not a bad idea to have a pre Spring brake either.

Good luck to you all this weekend.
