Took 25/1 on WP, much rather have that and risk a KG flop than take the 9/2 now for KG -

“The King George is the main target at the moment, but if we don’t make it we could always drop back to two miles and he’ll run in the Clarence House. He’ll have an entry in Ireland as well. It’s all ground dependent as well,” owner Richard Collins said *
He summered very well, we’ve taken our time with him to get him freshened up. We’ve picked him up the last week or so, but being ground dependent, we’ll take it one step at a time.
He's an antepost nightmare. But atleast they're open with it. Need to be a bit clearer where they draw the line
Gd to soft? Soft?Last edited by Scooby91; 26 November 2018, 04:33 PM.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

She's had enough time to get him ready for the King George unless there's been a setback. Can see why other owners have moved their horses on.Comment

Why did they move their horses?Originally posted by boopa View Post
It hasn't really worked out so far. Cloudy Dreams and Cyrius Darius have hardly shown huge improvement in their races this season.Last edited by Faugheen_Machine; 26 November 2018, 05:09 PM.Comment

We could look at the Fortria or Christmas with him or maybe the Durkan and miss Christmas, I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Any news on sizing John? . He's not in the John durkan.

Thank you.Originally posted by archie View Post
it's only a year ago since he bolted up in the John durkan and went 4/1 for the gold cup. Legitimate excuse for his run since. However Won't be easy for him after a pelvic injury. Where hes been off and put on in excess of 40kg. Probably best watched for a couple of runshttps://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

Ruth says WP needs soft ground. It has won well on good to soft. She says it wouldn't be suited to Cheltenham with no evidence to back it up. She has had 3-4 months to get it ready for the King George and now she says they might drop back to 2m. I think she's waiting a little too patiently with Waiting Patiently. You can't wrap them up in cotton wool.Comment

Didn't move them cos they were delighted though did they ?Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
Bit too early to judge horses that've moved on.Comment

It can take a while for them to settle in. They've only had one run.Comment

Obviously not but Boopa said he could see why they had moved their horses on. I was interested to know what the reason was.Originally posted by quevega View PostComment

It's by Flemensfirth and she's considering dropping it back to 2m. Everyone can see it does its best work late. The ground was soft at Cheltenham, she swerved it for Aintree then it suffered an injury. Perfect example of why you can't wrap them up in cotton wool. If I was the owner I would say stop messing about and run my horse, but that's me.Comment

Tbf That quote your referring to is the owner himself being quoted.Originally posted by boopa View Post
