Do Good Horses Plot Their Own Courses?
The inaugural Kenilworth Summer Festival Of Racing has been blessed with a colt called Charles Dickens and an emerging star filly in Dynasty’s swansong star, Make It Snappy. Make it Snappy won the Summer Bowl at 14/1.
Charles Dickens won the Gr1 Cape Hollywoodbets Guineas. He was beaten by All Lit Up by 5kgs and 9 lengths. The handicappers picked the line from the finish. The winner got 124, the last placed 3yo 128. It was the lowest possible rating they could give. They got 9/20 for the race. There were 15 runners spread back as far as 26 lengths that day. In October, Candice Bass-Robinson took Charles Dickens into an Allowance Plate. She gave him 9kg and the other 3-year-old.
Charles Dickens came from second last to win the race.
Horses make their own way when they are sitting in positions to make history.
