OT: Calzaghe (the horse) running tomorrow
Posted: 31 May 2007, 17:32
Don't know if Calzaghe actually owns this horse (the "Calzaghe partnership" does thought,) but anyway a nag of the afforementioned name is running at Wolverhampton tomorrow, in the 3.45. Just thought anyone who likes a flutter and may see this boxing-related thing as a bit of interrest or even fate.
As for it's chances - it is not without hope. However, Distant Sunset and Johnston's runner both have more solid form. Calzaghe did seem relatively decent on his last two outings. I didn't see his second race, but in his first race he was green. His third race he looked settled on the AW (at Wolves) before getting fucked (that's a technical term) by the distance. Whilst he's not particularly bred this way, he stayed a decent second in a large race over this trip at Salisbury, which is a right-handed track. This is a step up in class, but other than Johnston's (who personally will be dodgy) and Balding's, I don't see too much threat, although camp councilor will probably get some money.
Anyway, I'd suggest a nibble if it goes to 6s or 7s.
