20:18 · Lingfield
D Day Major Winter
Download The At The Races App Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 3.45
- Winner
- Offiah's Boy
- Horse result
- 5th of six
What worked
D Day Major Winter remained towards the rear, made no progress when pushed along and finished fifth behind Offiah's Boy.
What to watch
The winner controlled the race from the front, leaving those held up needing to make ground; D Day Major Winter could not do so.
What we learned / things to watch
Cosmic Jive, Glitz And Glamour and D Day Major Winter all failed to improve when asked. The Coffee Pod was the one to keep in perspective because he stayed on and finished close to the first two.
Both losses came from horses that raced prominently and then went clear. The practical check is to give extra weight to likely uncontested leaders and runners able to hold a forward position.
