2015 Flat - Handbook introduction


Well here we go again, pin sticking for the three year olds, an Aidan O’Brien colt short price favourite for the 2000  guineas again, which they rarely win. Godolphin look set for a strong season, with John Gosden now training the Blue silks as well as Appleby and Bin Suroor.  Some young trainers coming through, a strong northern presence now, and a nice crop of older horses all make for another fascinating season ahead. Also Richard Hughes’s last season, interesting jockey movements, make intriguing back drops to the on course action.
A trend developing is the number of Sir Michael Stoute 4 year olds in the list, John Gosden is very popular, Peej has avoided Ballydoyle completely, going instead for 3 Elite Racing Club horses, and generally the nets seem to have been cast wider than ever, with no fewer than 118 different horses chosen which I think is a record and shows how open every one thinks it is especially as an incredible 86 are single picks !  
The most popular pick is Found with 7.
So great hunting by all, good luck
