Our "friend" (
) from last time out, Detective, runs today in the last race at Carlisle. The race is part of the Jockey Club Grassroots One Mile Qualifiers.....................run over 6f and 195yds ????????
On a serious note, one of its best runs of last season was in this corresponding race. I have it down as really wanting a bit further but the run last season, off a mark of 77 and against much better opposition than this, makes me think it is not a forlorn hope after all. Five of its opponents were rated 80 and above, this year only one is. And the bottom weight last year was rated 73. This year it has five opponents rated from 72 all the way down to 61.
But its on the flat. I havent bothered but i'll give you all one guess who has.
