It can be an experience for 2-y-o's but many appreciate the sea air. I can remember a 8/1 winner backed from 40s in a 2-y-o race a few years ago, he liked the sea air! Entrancer didn't enhance Skid Solo's form but I'm not sure he ran his race. IMO a flat track would be better for that beast. The Ascot race on Wednesday looks very interesting and could pull quite a bit of early form together. I wish you the best of luck with SS but even with the penalty Baycat may have too many guns. I also like the look of Firth of Fifth if he hits the gates running as Ascot can be quite stiff for 2-y-o's if the wind is blowing up the track. Good luck with Max at the weekend and look forward to seeing you there.....I will look for you in the winners enclosure :-) Please check out the Sporting Life site as whoever the journalist was who spoke to Tom must have been paid more by them as some of his facts were correct. She of course won over 6 furlongs, twice...never running over 5f. It's also nice to know that this is a good year for her family with her full brother winning 3 races between March 18 - April 7, over 7f. OFZ ran ok once he had come down the hill at Brighton.

Brighton's a good racecourse, unless the sea mist comes rolling in, as it sometimes does there! One of the best bets of my life was at Brighton - in the early 1960s I think - when I had £5 on Sparrow Pie, ridden by Greville Starkey. What a memory THAT was.
