From Longchamp to Warwick for Kieron Fallon

By Carl Harris

Well, what can I say? Sea The Stars proved that he is easily the best horse, certainly of this century and those that said he could be beaten were made to look rather foolish.

Is Sea The Stars the best ever? Well all he can do is win his races and he has won them all this year, all group one’s and those that lay claim to be the best ever all were beaten in their classic year, but he is the best I have seen. It was just fantastic, now I hope he goes to Santa Anita to show the world that he is the best, ever.

Back to earth with a bump on Monday with three meetings at Warwick, Pontefract and Windsor. Kieron Fallon, second in the Arc on the gallant Youmzain, teams up with Luca Cumani with three live chances. My bet today will be a multiple, combining doubles and a treble.  Fallon will fancy at least a treble from his book of rides today.

Leverage (2.20) should kick things off with a winner. Having won a maiden last time, this is the first time in the handicap from a mark of 80 which looks very fair. There should be plenty more to come and the only negative I can see is the trainer and jockey in the context of getting a decent price, which looks unlikely. In the context of winner there are few stronger combinations. Leverage looks very solid.

Dice (3.50) can follow up for the duo in a small field. This looks an idea opportunity for a horse who has been unlucky to meet a couple of inform rivals of late. Fallon was aboard last time when second to a very well handicapped and highly thought of Sir Michael Stoute inmate. A strong ride should see Dice home for all money today.

Sham Sheer (4.50) has much to live up to given his name. Although not coming remotely close to that level he has won his last two stars and can land the hat-trick here from a mark of only 69. His last win, with Fallon aboard, was on the all-weather and he looks to be well treated here back on turf. Fallon has only ridden this horse twice and it is no coincidence that the horse has only ever won twice. The 100 percent record should be maintained today.

As I said the bet today is a multiple, with doubles and trebles on the following three horses, all at Warwick;
