During the pre-race prattle, Gabby Gaudet discussed the chances of every horse in the field with the exception of I Stand Alone, a 7yo gelding, trained by her sister, Lacey Gaudet.

I've noticed the same before, when Maggie doesn't talk about a Morley trained horse who wins or runs dead last. Andy said in the paddock "let's talk about the other horses not trained by Gaudet," so I wasn't too worried about that.

Really poor ticket structure to get beaten in the last leg. Had liked the 7 but best races had come with some give in the ground...
