My EYECATCHER of the week ran at Ripon today in the 3-4year old maiden race, 1m going good. The Gerard Butler trained ZAIN EAGLE, looked a picture in the parade ring, a big strong colt looking well in his coat, made all, clear 1 furlong out, unchallenged kept on strongly to win by an impressive 9 lengths, although not a strong maiden, i suspect this colt will go on to do better things.
On the theme of big strong horses being less affected by increases of weight, another one to note is DUTCH ROSE, a huge well built filly who won at York during the week.
Later in the week i will be posting an upto date list of results and comments on horses previously listed, and those yet to run.
