Tongue in cheek Carnage but could well end up that way. El Fab better over further and now probably below CH standard...Aintree? Poniros not good enough..... Flat campaign? Ballyburn still heading to Stayers ? Anzadam falls short again......County hdle ?
Posted before....Mullins/PT won race with Champion Hurdle horse Arctic Fire off rating of 1lb more. It can be done.
Yes they did, I remember it, tough ask but maybe he can drop a couple of lb at the drf
Maybe but don't think he needs to. Look, Willie will probably give Patrick or Danny a ride on him to place perhaps and pick up a bit of decent prize money in the CH but imo he'd be a great ride for PT in the County and would win it if he were to take his chance. Not forgetting that Sir Gino is under the same ownership as Anzadam so maybe they'd prefer two potential Festival winners ?
If Sir Gino beats the TNL on trials day and Anzadam wins at the DRF, it would be enough to do the job I'd say.
Absolutely. There are so many different scenarios though that it's impossible to predict what the CH field will look like in March. Never known a year like it.I didn't realise it would be such a controversial take!
Easily might have been the wrong word to use, but you can surely see the angle.
Well thanks for all that.
Hahaha, I thought you might say that
Yeah, they will probably try someone different on Anzadam. Cobden may be asked to ride one perhaps?
I’d say PT in Lossiemouth, Danny surely takes the ride on Anzadam being a better more experienced jockey than Patrick imo.
JJ Slevin on El Fab ?
Good point, yes he will be, keep forgetting he’s the ‘double greens’ jockey now.
