Clean pair of heels
Oct 24th, 2008 by Bert
One runner tonight - Parisian Gift goes in the second at Wolver. He’s a very decent animal and if he was 100% he’d be a strong fancy. Tom’s horses have not been at their best recently but he did have a winner the other day and they may be on the way back.
PG has had an annoying interrupted season so far. He’s quite big and it takes a while to get him fit - we were ready to win last time when he got he bug that all of Tom’s had and that took us back to square one. He’s in the sales next week and we haven’t had time to make the case for him - whatever he does today he should improve. We think he’ll run well and he has definite win chances - he’ll probably run from the front.
In the Filly and Mare’s race in the Breeder’s Cup tonight I’ve heard very good things about Wait a While. In the big one tomorrow night I’ll be weighing in on Raven’s Pass. He’s made eye catching physical progress, and the Racing Post rated his last run 5lb better than anything else he’d achieved this year. I think he’s progressed from good to great and he might show Curlin and the rest of them a clean pair of heels.

Hip, Hip Hooray Bert. I’ve just had my small ew bet on Ravens Pass and it has just been successful… at 8-1. I hope you had a nice bundle on him; it was just that I read your post earlier today (Saturday), that I decided to have a go tonight. Thanks very much!
Cheers, Phil (5 past midnight, Saturday)
Thank God for Ravens Pass…. got me out of Jail after a disasterous day at Newbury. First time I’ve been to that course and had a great day ( despite the woeful punting!!! ).
Bert have a good trip down under. May get to meet you at Oneway Racings open day if you are going? Will be looking to invest in my first ever horse!!!
Thanks Bert. Top shout.
Enjoy Oz.
