    Flatties to follow 2024

    Ok, reet, you’re on. Get that sequinned Elvis jump suit on, hang that guitar around your neck and give us some rock.

    “ Well, it's one for the money two for the show
    Three to get ready now go, FLAT, go
    But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
    Well you can do anything but
    Lay off of my blue suede shoes”

    I got one already:

    ATHERSTONE WARRIOR finished strongly (4th) in the Brocklesbury and I reckon he can pick one up with the experience behind him.

    Hallelujah!
    The Lincoln winner MR PROFESSOR absolutely hosed up,and will go up a fair piece for it,but is worth noting for any mile race on soft ground where there's likely to be a strong pace. Newbury Spring Cup looks the fav at the mo, as long ait fulfils the forgiung criteria.

    Not for me lads. Last year it was Migration who carried a stone more than Mr Professor and he went on to win a big fat zero.

    The year before it was the turn of Johan who went 1 from 6 after.

    The handicapper won't miss those involved in the finish..he never does.

    Matrika is a filly worth following this season

    A couple of examples don't cut it either, Fist.
    Year after year it throws up horses to follow,like most of the big Flat handicaps,often pattern race winnners too.
    It's axiomatic (in either code) that big prizes attract better horses.

    Mr Professor already has some back form in a listed race, which was how he got rated 100+ a couple years ago. He could mix it up in groups three's or even the right type of group 2 in time. They say you need a group horse to win these top handicaps. If the handicapper doesn't put him up too much his trainer might try and bag another handicap before even having to up him in grade though. Interesting debate this one.

    Most that do manage to win do so when least expected at huge odds and you won't be on
