18) POMP AND POWER
A bit of a temperamental gelding, POMP AND POWER can certainly shoot the lights out on his day. Unfortunately, those have been few and far between of late. However, his performance in WSB Cape Town Met was simply sensational. He ran on from absolutely nowhere to finish third. Since then, however, he’s finished sixth in the WSB Legal Eagle Stakes and the WSB Variety Club Mile. There’s no doubt that he has the ability to threaten, but will his mind be right? Time will tell. Also, keep in mind that he jumps from widest of all.
