Wednesday the 27th of February...

May's Boy the gentle grey - should go well for a big price
Spin Again piped on the line... that's the way it goes sometimes... hitting really a bad run at the moment, or better to say "luck" is not on our side. Well that's racing, let's looks forward, things will improve again, pretty sure...


19.00 Kempton: May's Boy @ 12/1 Bet365 - 2 pts win

He's done way better in his most recent start here at Kempton than the bare result might suggest. He had a wide draw to overcome and took over the lead from 6f out, crossing over to the inside eventually. His very inexperienced rider went far to strong then, it was a very aggressive ride from the front, yet May's Boy travelled really well and it looked possible as if he'd be able to hang on. But inside the final furlong he weakened badly and was swept by the the field, to finish only 6th in the end. With this fine performance he confirmed his strong penultimate run, when he was beaten just a neck. He's up 2lb now but still 1lb below his last winning mark, when he won with loads in hand last April over course and distance. Racheal Kneller gets the leg up again what's a positive as she won on May's Boy already and is well worth her 5lb claim. She's more balls than many of her fellow male apprentice colleagues I'd say. Overall I think May's Boy is overpriced.
