Golden Garden (USA)
Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 10.50
- Winner
- Captain Robert
- Horse result
- 4th of eight
What worked
Golden Garden was headed two furlongs out and weakened inside the final furlong, finishing fourth behind Captain Robert.
What to watch
He had made the running and remained in front until two furlongs out, so the early race shape gave him a chance.
What we learned / things to watch
The clearest successful lays were the horses that were under pressure early or failed to make a late challenge, including First Encounter, Alafdhal and Its A Ginger Thing.
Titus Thor and She's On The Ball both threatened late. The practical reminder is to keep giving extra attention to runners likely to race prominently or arrive with a late challenge.
