25th January news

Pallas Lord back at Newcastle, where else.....?

Newcastle 25th January : 5.45 pm 1m 5yds 0-55 handicap (Class 6)

With regular partner PJ McDonald off to Meydan to ride Clarendon House on Friday in the £100,000 to the winner Group 2 5f sprint, it's left to 3lb claimer Jonny Peate to renew his acquaintance with Pallas Lord in this Newcastle early evening miler.

Pallas Lord may not have a familiar face in the plate but there are certainly a few of his opponents that he may recognise.
Odd Socks Havana was just ¾ of a length back in 3rd when 'Lord' won over c&d on 8th January and has a 2lb swing in the weights in his favour. Should just about dead heat then......
A couple of days earlier, Great Colaci was about 8 lengths behind Pallas Lord when our lad was 2nd over c&d. But that was a below par effort from this 11 yr old who ran more like himself when going down narrowly over c&d a week or so ago. You'd expect him to be in the shake up.
And Fifty Sent didn't run at all well against Pallas Lord in that 4th January race, hanging right two furlongs out. First time cheekpieces are now applied but these would need to rejuvenate this 5yr old gelding for him to put that run behind him.

Best of luck to the lads.
