BEST of the BETS

Pikaia

I caught the backend of an interview on Racing TV with the trainer Denise Foster of this horse a few weeks ago before it's subsequent debut run a week later at Naas on 26th June.

During the interview she commented she was looking forward to to this horse running. I noted her comment.

It ran in a very hot 6 furlong race at 100/1 but performed well and finished 8th, showed some promise.

I felt it was a reasonable debut run for a 100/1 shot showing barely any inexperience and would come on for this first race and appreciate an extra furlong next time.

In the tracker it went and it is entered tomorrow over 7 furlongs.

Granted it is another "hot" type of race but I am interested in an each way bet here currently at 50/1.

This is 50% gut feeling here and 50% on showing some promise in that first run.

GL if anyone wants to follow.
