  • Last years champion chase was the race of the festival for me
    However,I now think it has left a mark on the front three
    Just personal opinion as yet to be fully proven
    Don’t think Altior and Defi will take each other on in the Clarence House
    Confident Defi will come out on top in March though ( again,just my opinion )

          Does anyone know if Dynamite Dollars will grace the turf at a racecourse this season?
          Is that better Q

              • I’ve had a discussion with the Pughs regarding #Altior and he will be entered in the G2 @UnibetRacing Silviniaco Conti Chase over 2m4f @kemptonparkrace on Saturday with the intention very much to run. @NdeBoinville was happy with his work yesterday and he’ll school in the week.

                    The drift from 1/3 to 11/10 told the story.

                    • UNFORTUNATELY,*Altior will now not take his chance in the Unibet Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton at the weekend because we do not feel he looks his absolute best and despite working well on Saturday he is still not 100% compared to previous years and he could still be feeling the side effects of the antibiotics he was given to treat the abscess on his wither.

                      Altior owes us nothing at all so our one and only priority is his wellbeing so it would be unkind to run him if he isn’t at his brilliant best. I would like to add that his blood test yesterday was perfect and he is very well within himself but this is a case of instinct, and our instinct tells us that he just doesn’t look as good as he can do. He will be given 10 days on the ‘easy list’ and spend some time on the water treadmill. We’ll throw everything at him to get him right so we’ll tuck him up and give him the very best.

                      He’s fit so it’s just a case of ticking him over. The plan is for him run in the Game Spirit at Newbury and he will be given one entry at Cheltenham which will be in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

                          • Great news. Looks like he will now get the perfect prep for the Champion Chase.

                            Hopefully they have also added some weight to his work rider as I would have thought carrying 2-3 stone less could have a significant effect on his fitness. Would seem logical if it was a human so can’t see why it wouldn’t be for a horse.

                            • His 'brilliant best' was nearly 2 years ago. If they won't run him until he's back to that, they won't run him again.

                              • I thought after the loss to Cyrname the pressure would be offand they'd have a go with Altior but it seems to have had the opposite effect and they dare not run him. Like you say Archie he hasn't been his brilliant best for a while now.
