Getting a bit bored with looking at that Galpin Junior so...
Tee hee... 3 days later & the Racing Post still haven't managed to work any figures for trips over the round course at Haydock last Saturday - it said on the tele that the clerk of the course said that races a mile & upwards were 60m short of advertised - there were some seriously fast times & I'd wager Dave Edwards is calling a Stewards Enquiry but
either way, Markab & Easy Ticket, hopefully ran over the same 6f. Once weight for age is taken into account then Easy Ticket ran only 6/7lb's shy of Markab who took 1/2sec off the previous course record & earned a Racing Post Rating of 122 -
so why then, maybe the rpr's don't take wfa into account, a miserly 99 for Easy Ticket?
Anyway, let me make a couple of bold predictions -
1/ When I get the Weekender tomorrow, Dave Edwards' Topspeed Barometer column will feature Easy Ticket as Red Hot!!
2/ Easy Ticket is future Pattern Class.
But possibly, could turn out quickly under a penalty too...
