Caterpillar's Murmur
A Nice, Outer Post
(FRI) January 30th, 2026
8:45 p.m. All right, so the barriers have been drawn.
Because they drew the outmost post, Saint Honore and Fee Blanche would both go up front, while Wayward Act probably can start faster. If a fierce position battle takes place or one of the front runners loses control to disharmonize, the pace is likely to get tight. Lookers charging down the straight will be advantaged in that case.
But I'll also have to keep in mind of the case where the pace doesn't get tight. I'm pretty sure it won't be slow. The case where there's no position battle and all the horses settle in with an average-ish lap because no one wants to make the first move. Then, the front runners will be advantaged.
Looks like Ma Puce has drawn a nice, outer post by the way.
The End
