Stat of the Day: 16th April 2012

Be My Light ran his race yesterday, but wasn’t quite good enough to make the frame. At an advised 20/1, we got a decent enough run for our money, but we finished 6th of an eventual 14 runners.

John Gosden’s horses are really firing at the monent (6 winners in the last fortnight with a 26% strike rate) and his record at Windsor is excellent in recent times. 50% of his runners here made the frame in 2011 and his win strike rate was a very impressive 36%! So, I was very interested to see that he has just the one runner today in the form of Falkland.

He wasn’t given a particularly hard race last time out and it looks like this one will suit him better.

He’s a well-bred type (out of Rock of Gibraltar) and although he won’t make us rich today (I’m taking 11/8 BOG!), I fully expect to see Falkland in the winner’s enclosure just after 4 o clock this afternoon. You might want to wait until the market has settled, in which case I’d recommend you…
