There were a few peculiar results on last night's
Wolverhampton card but we came away unscathed with 100% record. Unlike Paddy
Power for whom Friday the 13th came
early as the horse I alluded to in yesterdays post 'Is finding 9-1 winners always this easy?' Royal Peculiar took Wolverhampton's finale.
Even
easier to find on the figures than the previous day's 9-1, Paddy Power opened
at 16-1 and paid the price as Royal Peculiar tumbled to 4-1.
Let's look at the compelling evidence:
Royal Peculiar top rated at 101.9 can frank this level of
form with a 101.7 rating from 2 C&D runs. Its nearest rival on LTO, Lean On
Pete with a rating of 101.5 is clearly not a 12f horse and has been racing over
8f and 9f trips. The LTO figures then fall away dramatically for the rest of
the field who's C&D ratings don't suggest that they will do any more than
confirm their LTO rating at best.
Further endorsement to Royal Peculiars credentials in this company:
Its C&D rating of 101.7 was gained from 2 x Class 4 races and is now in a
Class 5: Its OR was 82 & 83 and is now racing off 72: Both races were 0-85
Handicaps and is now in a 0-75 Handicap.
The margin of victory was less than comfortable and where St
Ignatius found the reserves to go with Royal Peculiar remains a mystery.
With two horses in two days winning, fitting this profile unfortunately there is nothing even close to being so enticing today!
