Redcar Tip: The Grey Zebedee

Couldn't see out the sixth furlong after setting an overly strong early gallop. Fared best of those forcing the pace and should benefit from a switch to an easy 5f.

The Grey Zebedee is yet to win a race in 10 starts but he showed good early speed at Thirsk on his seasonal return. One of three to force the pace early on, he finished best of the trio in seventh after fading in the final furlong. His finishing speed was 97% of his overall race speed, much slower than par for the track and evidence of the overly strong pace.


It therefore makes sense for connections to capitalise on his early speed and drop him back to an easy 5f, a trip he’s run well at before, including a third place at Musselbrugh to end his 2018 campaign.

This is not a strong race and a mark of 56 is workable especially for a horse who has shown glimmers of ability.
