Funnily enough WLordan won the last 2 renewals of that maiden on the supposed second string

No doubt a coincidence. I think sometimes the yard themselves get a bit surprised with the results. They're all bred in the purple.

Many a trainer will tell you some horses just don't perform at home as they do on the course. And sometimes, vice versa.
 
I've got alpha priced up at 20/1 to win today and chesham with flutter. Not great considering he's 4/1 to win today, but the only other option is backing him with unibet for the chesham outright at 10/1. You'd really need him to be winning today anyway to even go to the chesham most likely, so the 20s seems like a much better option than the 10s if anyone's interested.

Flutter offered 6/1 on ibelieveicanfly to win today and chesham 🤮
 
2yos are babies and 3yos are adolescents, maturing at different rates both mentally and physically. They wouldn't be put under intense pressure at home so even Moore only has a vague idea of the pecking order. It's why parade ring viewing is so important on the flat.
 
Alpha was smashed into it fav late on so he clearly impressed onlookers. Finished strongly and looks like a big improver.
