At this time of year money talks on the Flat and anyone betting at Newmarket would be best advised to watch the price movements all morning, but as I don’t have that luxury my first bet today will be over hurdles at Fontwell.
Harry Fry is a trainer I have a lot of time for, and he may have a decent gelding on his hands assuming Geezer Rockstar is as good over obstacles as he was in his bumper. Once raced at Taunton he travelled well throughout before being sent on for a three-length success, showing a willing attitude which I like to see in any horse – no shirking the task allowed! Beautifully bred as a son of Getaway out of a presenting mare he looks well bought at 55,000 Euros and if he takes to hurdles as hoped, he isn’t being too highly tried here and may prove too good for these rivals.
