Ernie McCrew

What's worth watching is where Ernie McCrew performs best: he clearly suits races over a mile and a bit, from 1m1f to 1m2f. Over that exact distance, he has won 1 of his 8 races, a 12% return that stands out against his overall record. That's where he found his only victory at Lingfield, too. His recent form shows mixed results — a seventh last time out five days ago, but before that a respectable second and a third — the kind of inconsistency you see in plenty of three-year-olds still finding their feet. He is actively racing and just ran, so Moore clearly thinks there is more to come. Whether Ernie McCrew can turn one win into two, or even find another gear entirely, is the question that will answer itself in the weeks ahead.
