Whats in a name? Faster than light to do well in the 10:48 at 17/2

Granted this hanian trained colt is one of the heaviest horses in the field but at 17/2 he’s hard to avoid. Strong, composed and reliable he has won 2 and been placed in 3 of his 6 races so far. Faster than Light hasn’t tried his hand on yielding so far but I think his obvious quality will shine through.

Raced yesterday so perhaps fitness may be waining abit however too attractive to avoid. Has had wins on muddy and firm , can he add a win on yielding to his impressive little collection, tune into Getminted on Sky Channel 235 to find out and hopefully earn a few pounds as well. I’m predicting a placed finish here as fitness may rule out a win.

Why is Grand Master coming in at such long odds!
October 17th, 2005
I’m a bit worried that the bookies know something I dont. How can Grand Master be rated at 54/1 in the 8:57 in Australia. Granted the distance of 2 miles is a bit longer than he is used to but still huge odds. Lets hope its just an oversight on their part. Has won 3 and been placed in 1 of 5 races to date. One of these wins came on yielding which is the going we have in Australia this evening. We should never look a virtual gift horse in the mouth so I’m going for Grand Master for a placed finish.

Hallowed Ground to run well in the 8:36 in Angleterre!
October 17th, 2005
Diablo racing has always been one of the most exciting owners Getminted racing has I find, they unveil crackers as often as I have hot dinners and Hollowed Ground is the latest off the conveyor belt. Granted this 2 year old colt is yet to find his first victory but he has notched up 6 placed finishes out of just 7 races which isn’t a bad return in anyones book. Has only raced on yielding once before, in his maiden trip in Hong Kong when he came 2nd by 2 lengths behind Celtic Shamrock. Has come so close to victory in the last few races and the duck might finally be broken tonight but being cautious I’m going for an each way punt at 7/1.
