Hendo having a racecourse gallop for some of his. Nico on Dusart and James Bowen on Jeriko Du Reponet in a double group. Would Nico not be riding his better ones?

I think that's reading a little too much in to it myself :wink-new::love_heart:

Wouldn't make a jot of difference IMO

It doesn't mean he's not one of his better ones, of course he might not be one of his better ones, but not having Nico on for a racecourse gallop is just moot. Like a cows opinion. It's Moo.

Isn't this one of those situations where you can see it both ways (Whatever fits your narrative) as Henderson clearly thinks Jeriko is good to be working with a 154 rated chaser and g1 placed hurdler (On only his 2nd start) at 2m...

I'd be thinking more that dusart is slow and if jeriko was a supreme horse he wouldn't be working with him

but we don't know how fit these horses are

So not much point reading too much into it

Im pretty sure there was video of willmount working with three milers a month or two ago which got everyone talking that he was gonna be a Bartlett type, and now people are saying he should run in the supreme, so I'm not sure if there's much importance to who they work with.

Thanks to Liverpoolchamp for the notification Thyme Hill suffered a fatal injury on the gallops this morning.
I'm not sure whether he was trained poorly or the horse just wasn't quite top table but I always felt he didn't fulfill his potential, as both a hurdler and a chaser.
May be unkind to say that, but always felt he should have a bunch of G1 wins to his name...

Isn't it probably just because it's JP owned and Nico won't be riding him?

Think there was some questionable placing from the trainer
 
riccirich I'm not sure that post is needed for the out of festival, unless confirmed, she is down as being trained by paul nolan now

Yeah I don't disagree.
I thought he was destined for great things after he won the big hurdle race at Aintree, not to be...

The Auteuil run was a real real headscratcher

First run of the season on horrible ground, different hurdles, race fit rivals

Not sure he ever really travelled through his races the same after that

and I know he won the kauto star but he never looked a natural chaser and the staying hurdle division was piss poor last season

The horse was meant to be going to stud at the end of last season but the owner fell out with Mullins in May and was moved from his yard to another trainer who wasn't named at the time to continue racing, I'm assuming the new trainer was Paul Nolan.

The tweet from Tony Mullins is from September where there is a photo of him smiling beside princess Zoe and saying she's off to Japan to be a broodmare, so I'm guessing the owner had a change of heart and decided to stick with the plan to retire her and him and Mullins subsequently got back on good terms.

If anyone wants to type in princess Zoe on Twitter you can scroll down a few links and see the post.

The tweet and photo is from the last person to train the horse, saying that the horse is off to Japan for breeding, and the post was at the end of September just before the start of the jumps season. Theres not really much more confirmation you can get. We may as well take energumene out of the out for the season thread because Mullins only said "he's probably out for the season" and not 100% out.

Thanks for the info, I've amended comments in the Out of Festival thread to state the permanent move to Japan is TBC given the horse is currently registered as in training with Paul Nolan...

Unless it's Charli Parcs :highly_amused:
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out more about the sire choeur du nord?

Just google the name of the horse with the word horse after the name. This will give you a racing post option. Click on that and it will bring you to a summary page for the stallion. Then to see all its offspring click on stud record and it will in this occasion default to jumps offspring. There us also a filter that gives you the option to select flat offspring if he has any.
