Sunday Bumpers 8/3/2009

A couple of poor races but...
KELSO
Len Lungo gets a lot of first run winners at Ayr but not at Kelso.
Nick Richards runs the paper fav who was 3rd on only run when fav.
There have been a fair number of Races at Kelso to compare and they were mainly won by placed or first run horses.
The problem with Premier Sagas is that he has had a break of 104 days off track. No winner has occurred with one placed run and such a break. The Richards stable has provided at least two such runners and both were favs and lost.
The same applies to the other placed runner in the field - Butter.

It is suspected that a first run horse may win the race.
George Moore gets a few FTO winners but all were 4yo's and his runner tomorrow is a 5yo.

The Swinbank horse is another FTO runner but Kelso does not appear to be his choice track.

D McCain travels up to Scotland with his FTO runner but how many winners does he get up there FTO?

The only trainer from tomorrows runners that appears to have had a FTO winner at Kelso is G Charlton.

If you think that race is bad enough then the Warwick Mares Maiden race is even worse to work out.

Going on the previous Warwick races of this type they are normally won by a placed or FTO runner but there are no placed runners tomorrow and only two FTO runners from little known trainers.

Paul Webber seems to be only trainer of those in the race who has had a winner in a maiden here. At least Penny queen was placed on her forst run.

The easy thing to do on this non flat racing day is concentrate on the garden or take the family out - or study for Cheltenham of course!
