2016 Flat - Editor's Introduction

Well the new season sees some smart 4 year olds and older horses pitching against each other in the middle distance and sprint races, with, Found, Postponed, Simple Verse,  Jack Hobbs, The Great Gatsby, The Tin Man, Solow, Limato, Twighlight Son,  Kodi Bear to name a few !
With Godolphin spreading their horses wider amongst trainers, and the influx of Quatri racing, it is not all about Coolmore, although they are still well to the fore in the classic betting, just remember the Gosden effect last season. !
One thing about the Coolmore operation is their willingness to run their top prospects, as both Minding and Air Force Blue ran 5 times last season, which is quite a few more than most of the promising English prospects can claim.
We will also see the first of Frankels crop, and it will be interesting to see how they fare.
A number of trainers have their first representatives in this competition, as our nets spread ever wider in search of the competition winners .
We have a massive  120 horses, so loads of single picks, and no horse in every string, the most popular have just 6 picks each, 27 are profiled, so let the fun commence and good luck to all.
Hope you enjoy the read

Regards the Editor
