Rude and crude - 1st December 2014

Plumpton          Plumptonracecourse.co.uk Intermediate Open NH flat race
2M 2F         8 runners
Jockey:    Charlie Deutsch       Trainer:  Mrs L Hill
Weight:  11-9

2 weeks after seeing this horse live, he ran in another bumper on the same course. Carrying a penalty of 7lb higher than all the other horses, he once again had an odds on favourite to contend with. I seem to pick horses that lead from the front and as he did 2 weeks ago, Rude and Crude set the pace. A fairly steady pace, he significantly picked up the pace half a mile from home.  The favourite was left in his wake and although a few tried to go with him, it was only 'Tambura' that kept up. Rude and Crude get his gallop up the whole trip and was eventually beaten by just over a length into second place. Another brave front running performance, maybe the weight did in for him, I look forward to seeing his next move.
