Performance ratings & race-date changes

There were some very notable performances from winners of the weekend races and the Future Pointers section of the book is worth referring to, especially in the Temple Stakes.
The date of Temple Stakes was also switched from the one given on my racing calendar back in November 2007, along with two others in the coming week from the book:

Brigadier Gerard Stakes, Sandown – May 29
Scottish Sprint Cup, Musselburgh – May 31


Performance ratings

Fleeting Spirit 86

CORAL SPRINT
Ancien Regime 61

Moving onto Top Of The Form and here are the week’s entries for those horses given a mention in recent weeks. There seems to be a jinx with the horses I’ve been mentioning of late with a string of non-runners and placed efforts – Misdaqeya and Faraway Sound both touched off on the line last week – but hopefully the winners are around the corner.

Bijou Dan
Choose Your Moment
Coleorton Choice
Galactic Star (possibly runs in France on Sunday)
Jocheski
Lake Chini
Looter (Friday & Saturday)
Minus Fifteen (Saturday)
Otaared
Pendragon
Ready To Crown
Top Seed (Sunday)
Virtual (Thursday)

I’ll be back on Thursday with another update.

ps. I did find a Coral betting shop opposite Harrods to watch the Coral Sprint, just a shame Prohibit wasn’t good enough on the day.
