Why Silver Streak is suffering from the Grealish effect

If you were to ask most football fans what they think of Jack Grealish I reckon the vast majority apart from Aston Villa followers would answer in the negative. His reputation comes before him and most would have preconceived ideas about him both as a man and a footballer.

However, if you had never heard of him and just switched on the football for the last few months, I’m certain everyone would consider him to be a brilliant player, one of the best in the Premier League.

Exactly the same happens in racing. Punters have preconceived ideas about horses and many steadfastly refuse to change what they think about them, even though there is loads of evidence to the contrary.
