A miscellany of thoughts

So, this blog comes with a health warning; I am deliberately setting myself against mainstream opinion.  For most races and most horses, I agree with the consensus, but if I acted on those opinions I’d produce a boring blog and would back a lot of favourites.  I’ve little doubt that in what follows, I’ll be wrong more than I’m right, but at the sort of prices I’m betting, that isn’t a problem.  With that caveat out there, today’s blog is a miscellany of horses I have opinions about following a busy period of early-season paddock watching.  Before that, though, an extension of my health warning, and a few thoughts on the big races coming up.

Don't forget about Fencing

Life (the stupid thing) has been rather taking my attention away from blogging for a couple of weeks.  I have a few things I’d like to write this week, and I’ll do my best to get out some thoughts on some of the horses I’ve seen recently in due course.  This blog is different, though.  I’m writing about the Guineas horses (fillies and colts) of this season, and about how I expect them to develop, but I’m doing it in a different way.  I’m going to talk about the key form horse for understanding the 2013 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas.

Fencing.

Yeah, the four year old, Fencing.  That one.
