Everybody knows that I love this horse as he just tries his heart out every run (probably my favourite horse currently racing) and he resumes tonight for the Geoff Webster at Melton on the back of a very good trial and just noticed he is an early favourite at $3.30 on the TAB. He needs to be $6 minimum before I will be on based on the fact its a 2240m stand and he isn't the quickest of beginners from the tapes due to his enormous size so might struggle to get into the race.
Another thing that tempers my confidence a tad about the trial is that every trial that day was run in very quick time so may have been a tad flattering. All that being said though, if the Webster camp have been able to inject any speed into him he will become a pretty serious metro horse as has many similar characteristics to horses like Flashing Red and Min Min Lights but its a very, very long bow to draw to say he can match their feats (especially Flashing Red) but for comparison purposes it shows that some tough horses can gain speed in some circumstances.
Going to be interesting to see how my old mate goes tonight, even if I'm not on I will still give him a cheer if he gets up
