I usually PM this to a select few but i'll stick it on here.
My horse, Captain Kolo runs tomorrow at Carlisle in the 4.30.
As some of you know, he's been frustrating and expensive to follow and hasnt lived up to the promise as a 2yo.
This ownership game is all about trial and error and every race is a learning curve until you find something that clicks. We've tried Kolo at 5f and 6f and he seems to have better form over 6f this year but he still isnt performing to the standard he does at home. We're stepping him up to 7f tomorrow, just short of. I told a few of you not to back him until I told you to. I wouldnt say im tipping him, but I will say is IF 7f is the answer, he should win tomorrow. He has a good draw, ground should suit goes well for Kelly Harrison and it looks a winable race.
His last run over 6f he came 2nd, was a little outpaced with 2f left and then stayed on in the last furlong and the winner looked in trouble but Kolo couldnt get there. Another furlong may well be the answer.
That said, its just as possible its too far and he needs dropping back to 6 and he runs out of steam with a furlong left.
No idea what price he will be, but if theres value in the odds, its worth a cheeky bet, just in case. I wouldnt back him at a short price.
