Yesterday's NAP, Roots In Touche at Catterick, finished fourth. Minzelle, trained by K R Burke and ridden by Clifford Lee — who won the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on Friday — won the race readily at 4/5. Warby finished second at 22/1. Roots In Touche was beaten three and three-quarter lengths.
The form case had been sound — a filly beaten a length and a quarter on debut at Beverley while showing good early zip, returning to a trip and going that suited. The assessment from the expert view was that she ought to take a forward step. She did not. Minzelle, dropping in trip after being beaten at Haydock first time out and ridden more patiently, improved considerably and was too good on the day.
That is horse racing. Selections are made on evidence available before the race. The evidence for Roots In Touche was genuine. Another horse was better.
The Honest Record
June has been exceptional. The run from Return To Unit on June 11 through to Bow Echo and Ombudsman at Royal Ascot produced some of the month's strongest results. Roots In Touche breaks that sequence. The record is posted in full at horseracingoracleai.com — wins and losses, nothing hidden.
