Green Laser Goes To A 96

Listed Sea Cottage Stakes - handicapper's thoughts

The Robbie Sage-trained Green Laser has had his rating upped from 94 to 96 after his win in the Gr3 Sea Cottage Stakes for three-year-olds over 1800m at Turffontein (inside track) on Saturday 25 January.

National Horseracing AuthorityThe Handicappers took this view of the race due to the fact that Snow Palace and Spero Optima failed to run to form and consequently used Green Laser to the nett figure of 84 which he achieved when finishing third in the Listed Secretariat Stakes (also against three-year-olds) at his most recent start.

With the WFA differential between the 1400m of the Secretariat Stakes and the 1800m of the Sea Cottage Stakes, this has Green Laser running to a gross rating of 96 and as such, that was the figure which he has been allocated.

It should be noted that Green Laser was weighted to beat Cornish Pomodoro, Imperial Ruby and Whiskytangofoxtrot at these terms.

Runner-up Cornish Pomodoro goes up from 87 to 91, while third placed Imperial Ruby  was raised from 86 to 94.  Fourth finisher Whiskytangofoxtrot goes up from 82 to 84.

Two horses were given a rating’s drop, with Virtuosa being trimmed from 96 to 95 and Tiger’s Rock dropping from 89 to 85.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
