Booshbash

A cold and damp day here in Newmarket. It is the start of the December sales today and I am at Tattersalls looking at the yearlings. There are just under two hundred being consigned and the first went through the ring at 11am.

 

 Social Media broke her maiden on Saturday night and it was an important victory as she is a very well bred filly who will now be retired to the paddocks. Alligator was disappointing in the seller at Lingfield and will have a break now.

 

 Booshbash is our only runner today at Chelmsford in the opening race at 1:50. She travelled well at Newcastle last week before failing to stay the 1m2f trip and in a race that lacks depth she looks to have every chance returning to a mile. The top weight Charlie Chaplin has always been well regarded and was sent off at 4-1 in the Newmarket Maiden that Global Applause won at the Guineas meeting whilst Tael O’gold ran well behind a progressive sort when third at Newcastle and looks the biggest danger. Auric Goldfinger showed he possessed ability on his penultimate start at Kempton but was disappointing here on his last start. None of the handicap debutants have shown any form thus far but Reynardo De Silver is wearing a first time visor and any money for him would be significant from a good draw in five.
