2023 Bumper

Joe Chambers saying on Nick Lucks podcast that they have no idea why chapeau hung in his bumper and will try some new strategies such as ear plugs or a hood in his next run and will be entered in a few bumpers over Christmas

I was wondering if anything came to light about him hanging so much.
 
They’re understandably fearful after Facile Vega last year, plus, no standout performance from any of the horses that have run so far this season.
 
He's the walk in the park rocket:angel::angel::angel:
 
Has there been any stable chat about this lad?

Happy to hold off myself
 
Find it interesting that Codd is going to Down Royal on boxing day instead of taking the ride on Pour Les Filles. I'm going to assume the horse isn't fully fit and probably just there for the experience.
 
Didn't realise Did I Ask You That was a Mulryan horse. Suppose we've already got next year's Ballymore favourite then! :highly_amused:
 
….Did I Ask You That might be of interest added to Hills ‘win today’ list.
 
Anyone able to get a price for the Bumper and 2024 festival with Sky? Feels like it’s worth a point before he runs…?

Asked but came back with the typical we aren't offering anything on 2024 races yet, probably because they've had their pants pulled down with the facile vega one
